Via: Digitimes | News Archive | Tags: Apple, ipad
wonder what features will the Ipad3 have to top Ipad 2
My GF has been looking forward to this. I told her that I'm still anti-apple and couldn't bring myself to purchase it for her though =p
(although I forgot that I did buy her an ipod touch a year ago =/)
Of course! Best time for new releases of Apple products is AFTER the holiday season. Apple faithful will still buy up the new gear and the rest will have picked up the remaining inventory over the previous holiday season.
Wow, better put the ipad2 on the market today. I've never seen prices fall so fast for a device as when I was trying to unload my original ipad to upgrade to the 2.
This is exactly one of the reasons that I don't like apple products (iphone included) Instead of upgrading the item you're forced to purchase an entirely new device. At least with android-os based items, you have a much better chance of the OS being upgraded so you can experience the new features that are being offered.
This iPad will have the HD screen, better cameras, siri, and maybe a better processor. The big thing on it will be the HD screen, which im sure they will say its the best screen on a tablet in the history of man.
I would be surprised if Siri is announced for the iPad 3, since i feel people would be more likely to use it on a phone than a tablet. If they do go ahead with the Retina Display that's been rumored (2048x1536 I think), then they'll really need to include a faster CPU/GPU to keep performance high.
Can't wait for the announcement. :) (and no, I'm not an Apple fanboy - but with the Android tablets starting to gain marketshare, Apple can't afford to take a break now.
It seems like all of the Apple people will predict what'll come of the iPad 3. Personally I'm hoping for an retina display screen and some better cameras; I don't know if they'll upgrade the processor seeing as how the one in the iPad 2 is already hella powerful but people have been wrong before.
Better get those iPad 2's up for sale on eBay.
Seriously? What's the point of purchasing a tablet when the next one is just 8-10 months away? But I suppose that's the case for any tech product.
Let the Rumuor Mill rolll.. :-0
Wonder what new features the iPad 3 is likely too have, anyone have any ideas?
This is good news for those wanting an iPad2. Apple will try discounting their current inventory but probably not very much. HD screen, better camera, processor.... looking forward to seeing the iPad 3
I wonder what the price of an original Ipad will be once the 3rd gen gets released...
For the first time in the last several years apple has real competitors with the Xoom grabbing the multimedia niche and the transformer the leading seller for android apples market share should be reduced significantly. They finally have some honest to goodness competition and it is this situation that apple thrives in watch for this release to be not as flashy as it could be but the iPad 4 will destroy all competitors. ipad 3 soon to be released will gather the remaining Ipad lovers, but the next gen will re-invent the field.
I suspect the price of these tablets will be coming down dramatically in the next year or two. They're creating so many of these things everyone will have one soon!
Almost seems too soon for a new version. How long till people tire of constantly forking over this kind of cash all the time?
@ CDeeter Till they A. run out of money(which alot of people who own a tablet not just an ipad usually have a decent amount of money). Or B. Till Apple tells them too( which wont happen.)
Wow didnt expect a new ipad so soon. Dont really want one though but im sure it will continue to push other competitors to match it or best in some way and hopefully maybe drive down prices on other tablets

Google News is worse than average for sticky traffic.
Hitwise has run the numbers on traffic that returns to media sites according to referral site. Facebook is far and away the top returning traffic referrer. Google News doesn't come close.
Perhaps the newspaper industry's frustration with Google News is misguided. Ok, we already know it is. Google is simply indexing sites (with the exception of licensed content deals) - and users click to go to the site. Google sends traffic. But the quality isn't as high as other sites.
Also a factor is that so many Google News readers scan headlines, whereas shared news stories in Facebook are mixed in with status updates, etc. Perhaps your network is more likely to share news stories/sources you're interested in.
Google seems to know that. They introduced customizable news sections recently. But the interface can still be choppy and the stories redundant or irrelevant.
By the way, Google.com wasn't included because it performs worse than Google News!

Invitation to sign on statement to denounce corporate takeover of Climate Summit.
- Details
- Published on Thursday, 11 September 2014 14:41
We call upon all fellow social movements, peoples organizations and environmental and climate justice movements to sign on this statement and join us in this call to action.
On the 23rd of September, United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki Moon, will host a Climate Summit in New York, bringing political leaders, big business and a highly select few civil society representatives. The Summit has been surrounded by a lot of fanfare but proposes voluntary pledges for emission cuts, market-based and destructive public-private partnership initiatives such as REDD+, Climate-Smart Agriculture and the Sustainable Energy for All Initiative. These are all false solutions of the green economy that seeks to further commodify life and nature and further capitalist profit. The undersigned social movements that all together represent more than 200 million people around the world, denounce this corporate take over of the UN and the climate negotiations process and call for a deep systemic change.

COP 19 statement signed by la Via Campesina among 155 signatories
COP 19 Climate Capture:
Stop the corporate takeover and expansion of carbon markets now!
For almost 20 years, multilateral climate policies have served to create profitable financial schemes that maintain fossil fuel dependent systems that are responsible for the climate crisis. November 11-22 in Warsaw, Poland, the 19th Conference of the Parties (COP19) to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) will be no exception. The EU's agenda for the COP19 will be both to scale-up carbon trading mechanisms and find other ways of sustaining an industrial and financial system dependent on coal, oil and gas, which is facing a crisis of multiple dimensions.
EU's agenda for COP19: more carbon markets
In an attempt to increase the reach of carbon markets, the EU will pledge its continued support to a set of failed policies that have been rejected by more than 140 organizations and social movements from around the world.1 The EU, Norway, Australia, the USA, and a host of corporate allies aim to establish more environmental markets under the UNFCCC to supplement the EU Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS), which lies in shambles.2 The New Market Mechanism (NMM) would expand the scope of offset schemes like the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM). In addition, discussions on the Framework for Various Approaches (FVA) would involve an agreement to approve international trading from various existing national, regional and local carbon markets for compliance with the commitments under the Convention.
Climate Summit: Don't turn farmers into 'climate smart' carbon traders!
- Details
- Published on Thursday, 07 November 2013 20:26
Media release of La Vía Campesina | GRAIN | ETC Group
7 November 2013. Farmers produce food, not carbon. Yet, if some of the governments and corporate lobbies negotiating at the UN climate change conference to be held in Warsaw from 11-22 November have their way, farmland could soon be considered as a carbon sink that polluting corporations can buy into to compensate for their harmful emissions.
"We are directly opposed to the carbon market approach to dealing with the climate crisis," says Josie Riffaud of La Vía Campesina. "Turning our farmers' fields into carbon sinks – the rights to which can be sold on the carbon market – will only lead us further away from what we see as the real solution: food sovereignty. The carbon in our farms is not for sale!"
Governments produce blank pages in Doha for planet's future; La Via Campesina farmers are cooling the planet

La Via Campesina - Press release
(Jakarta, 6 December 2012) – As the climate negotiations come to a close, the industrialized countries insist on inaction for the next decade, finding even more ways to escape their historical responsibility, create more carbon markets including one on agriculture and to keep business as usual of burning the planet. While governments continue to prioritize the interests of industry and agribusiness peasant farmers continue producing to feed the world's people and the planet.
The high level segment of the 18th Conference of Parties (COP 18) and 8th Meeting of Parties (CMP 8) of the United Nations Framework on Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) has begun on December 5 with Ministers arriving in the petro-state of Doha, Qatar. But the almost two week long negotiations has produced absolutely nothing. Developed countries are so entrenched in their positions and goals for inaction that when the Chair of the negotiations presented the new text under the Long Term Cooperative Action track, the text literally contained blank pages in areas where the Chair claimed divergences existed; these included adaptation, technology development, finance, capacity building and economic and social consequences of response measures – all issues of great concern to developing countries.
Statement of Asia Social Movements on Climate Change at the Asia Social Movements Assembly
- Details
- Published on Thursday, 06 December 2012 14:26
World Social Forum on Migrations, Manila, Philippines
We have seen climate change related phenomena with intensity never seen before, like Hurricane Sandy, in many parts of the world in the past year.We no longer have the luxury of time as incidents of increasingly severe storms, floods, droughts, disruption of water cycles and other similar eventsare becoming the "new normal" for many countries. It is also becoming apparent that climate change is instigating more forced migration, and will createmore climate refugees. An estimated 200 million people could be displaced by climate change by 2050. In 2010 alone, it was estimated that more than30 million people were forcibly displaced by environmental and weather-related disasters across Asia and this number will continue to rise. Climatechange has also been wreaking havoc on crops and farmlands, worsening the already growing food crisis and pushing even more people into hunger.
And yet, despite the increasing devastation wreaked by climate change on farmlands, livelihoods, and homes, the UN Framework Convention onClimate Change (UNFCCC) negotiations are moving backwards instead of moving closer to a global agreement that will stabilize and cut greenhousegas emissions. The premise of the climate negotiations has always been based on the principle that developed countries need to live up to theirhistorical responsibility and yet from Cancun to Durban to Qatar, negotiations have instead focused on how developed countries can escape theirprevious commitments. Now, with the current proposals on the table, not only are developed countries going to be able escape commitments bywatering obligations down to voluntary pledges but they will also be able to create more carbon markets and loopholes in order to not take any action atall. Estimates from a study by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) have calculated that even without all the loopholes, these currentpledges will lead to an increase in the temperature of up to 5 degrees centigrade.
Climate Defense: Food Sovereignty is part of the solutions to climate change

- Published on Friday, 09 November 2012 20:58
On the first day of the International Conference on Climate Change, Territories and Social Movements, representative of La Via Campesina El Salvador, Mauricio Venegas, said food sovereignty is part of the solutions to climate change in the rural areas.
The peasant representative was one of the panelists of the activity called "Social movements and alternatives to the crisis", which opened the afternoon session of the conference organized by Friends of the Earth International, CESTA-Friends of the Earth El Salvador and MOVIAC, the Movement of Victims and People Affected by Climate Change.
Nearly 500 people from all Mesoamerica including international delegates from 70 Friends of the Earth groups, filled the auditorium of the National University of El Salvador. The conference will also organize a mobilization and a cultural festival on November 6th from the university to San Salvador's downtown area.

The Decline of Worlds
Simon Ludgate documents the experience of another big-ticket MMOG, Star Wars, the Old Republic. Like many others, this one is going from subscription to free-to-play. Ludgate characterizes this as failure. While it certainly is the failure of the revenue model, it may not mean failure of the IP. F2P products make plenty of money.
But before we conclude that to use subscriptions is to fail, consider venerable EVE. She has reached new population milestones in her old age, having never abandoned the old subscription model.
I think something cognitively different happens when we enter a world as opposed to a game. People will pay subscriptions for a world. They will not play subscriptions for a game. MMOGs interpreted WoW's success as a call to improve the game elements of virtual worlds. But they have overdone it. Today's MMOGs are all game, no world. Thus no one is willing to pay a subscription for them.
What makes a world different from a game? Well, in a world, there's downtime and exploration and life. Downtime is, moments when there's nothing to do. You just be. And it is nonetheless interesting. Exploration is, you go places simply to see things, to discover them. You don't get a reward, you just go look. It's a cave with artwork in the bottom, and nothing else. It's a desert to cross, in which there's an oasis with a palm and an interesting little bear who sings rhymes. And nothing else. Life is, when you go to a place and there are people just being there. They're not on a quest, they're not grinding a craft, they're not shopping. They are simply being.
Current MMOGs have lost elements like this, believing them to be boring. EVE has them in spades. So EVE can charge subscriptions - people like to quasi-live in EVE. Nobody wants to quasi-live in SWTOR, or, it is not possible to just live there. You can't live on a race track. Race tracks are for racing. You go around a few times and quit. Why subscribe to that?

This is an interesting idea that the success of an MMORPG depends on it's status as a genuine 'world' space. This would suggest that sandbox games should have the advantage in being able to sustain a subscription based models. However, the obvious counter argument to this is Second Life, which most commentators agree is in danger of losing it's life. Or perhaps you are arguing that a balance is required between gameplay and 'world'? Obviously Second Life has little of what you would call game play (though lots of horse play!)
I found Eve to be quite a complex game compared to most MMO's and perhaps it's that challenge and depth that is the success. I'm really looking forward to the eventual emergence of Dust 514 on console's with it's persistant world and links to Eve. Thought am not sure as to what level of persistence there will be.

Whenever I argue with someone that subscriptions are not dead, subscriptions just need the right game, this is one of the arguments I use. - I'm just never this succinct. Here's a novel length post I made on RPS. (salty language warning)
Anyway, you are spot on. This is my first time here (linked from TAGN), but you've got a new subscriber.

My impression of his article is that EA's *implementation* of F2P for SWTOR is the failure. I've seen it characterized as 'punish the free-loaders until they give up and subscribe' -- having looked at the details I'd think that's a fair assessment. EA has certainly managed to change my mind about giving the game a chance, now I think I'll just stay away. (I hope they'll change their revenue philosophy towards 'enticing free players to spend some cash' but I doubt it'll happen.)

So which "wisdom of the crowd" was this?
Posted Dec 15, 2012 3:23:39 PM | link
This is an important topic but I don't believe we have gotten to the bottom of it yet. As someone who grew up on 1980's cyber punk I still hanker after a true virtual world. Game like mmorpgs are a disappointing substitute and once the novelty wore off I think a lot of us realised we could get just as much fun for for a lot less effort not to mention less money in other types of video game. EVE even though it is more world like than most mmoprgs is still ultimately a disappointment because the so called "world" is a lot shallower than it appears at first to be. I had high hopes for Second Life but for reasons I don't fully understand (probably a combination of the limitations of technology and the limitations of human nature)SL never really worked.
To be honest when I really think about it I come to the conclusion that Facebook comes closer to what I expected from a virtual world than any mmorpg. People actually do live a part of their lives in the Facebook universe. It isn't as separate from the real world as I imagined virtual worlds would be but maybe it is just the first step.

I want to agree emphatically. More wilderness and less theme park in my WoW and WoW clones would keep me fascinated and more than willing to pay.
Posted Dec 17, 2012 12:44:17 PM | link
I was recently in on a debate about moving from a subscription service to F2P. Interestingly, nothing about the game itself was top on the list of considerations. The main focus of our discussion was how money is viewed. The winning argument ended up being that people don't want to pay for things they don't use, therefore a pay-per-service would attract more customers. Whether or not this game (its an educational mmorpg on the Asian market) constituted more of a world or more of a game wasn't discussed.
I think this question of how money viewed is an important question being ignored here. Of course world v game is also important (and was mistakenly ignored in the conversation I opened with) but how money is viewed will effect people's willingness to let it go.

Actually, there are subscription-based racing games out there (iRacing) - the "downtime" you mention is gained from fiddling with suspension bias and such and the community provides the "world". Obviously, its incredibly niche, though.
While I'd agree with the point of a sense of "world" being an important aspect - I'd have to disagree entirely with how you've interpreted EVE's "world", though.
The majority of EVE downtime is waiting, moving house and shopping. There's almost nothing worthwhile to see or do in EVE in the way of exploration and the ratio of downtime-to-excitement is bad, but juuust enough to keep people playing. Its not for no reason that the community would typically describe it as a bad game - excessive downtime is the element they've spent the last ten years trying to improve.
The world comes through the player-driven environment; it's about knowing that Dave is online so you can get him to freighter your stuff around to your new home system, that you can't go through that system because there's a scout for Rote Kapelle there and they'd just hot-drop you, that some guys are moving in next door so you get in touch with your buddies to go have a fight.
An exploration driven environment would have a fantastic sense of place and would have that "world" aspect in abundance, I agree - I just think you're looking for it in the wrong place as player interaction is another way to the same end.

Spot on, and something I've beeb preaching myself. As a matter of fact, even though it's a theme park, I believe this is one of the reasons for WoW's success - it feels like a world that you go to, not a game you log into.
Indeed, while most games have "log in" or "play" on their startup screen, WoW has "Enter World"
I wonder just how subtle of a difference that makes.

I'm curious what people think of Guild Wars 2 in light of this (although, to be fair, it doesn't charge a subscription, so it benefits from people often treating it like a game that happens to be played online rather than a virtual world). Guild Wars 2 is very much an MMORPG, and very game-focused. At the same time it places a lot of emphasis on exploration, and there are a number of neat little surprises to find in the environment, and hundreds of little mini-stories you might happen to witness. Most of these have game elements too though - things like the "cave with artwork in the bottom" would be marked points of interest which most people visit just for map completion.
A taste of a virtual world with character? Or an empty gesture given the heavy gamification of everything in it, especially in light of the audience they're courting.

I played GW2 for some time. Is was heavy on game, light on world. The world felt heavily populated. The sheer density of gamed, gated, laddered, and grindable content was amazing. No matter where you were, your minimap glittered with icons representing things you could score points for. In addition, I found the overall world size very small. When I hit level 60 and realized there were perhaps 2-3 more zones left, the world felt very small.
I keep going back to an early experience that I want to see recreated. (Richard says that we do this all the time, project our earliest MMOG experiences onto later worlds, always finding the later ones worse.)
As a level 7 Cleric of Nife, I got it in my head that I wanted a certain mace called the Shining Star of Light. The quest was almost but not completely impossible for someone at that level. You had to go all the way to Rivervale to the Hobbits and then somewhere deep in Karana. I recall that it was difficult and dangerous and time-consuming to travel. There was a mountain range to cross and a dark forest that was truly dark. It took me hours. And the best part was, the quest had a random end. The turn-in guy would usually go nuts and attack you. So I had to do it five times before he gave me the mace. In retrospect I could have done it more easily with help, but I generally play these games solo. Doing it solo, it felt really good. The world felt like a real world. It did not feel like someone had designed the entire quest to be just tough enough for me to do it. Instead, the world was not gamified at all. There was no match between my level and the quest reward and the quest difficulty. It was ridiculously out of balance. But it felt like a world, not a game.
Two aspects come to me out of this memory. First, balancing worlds makes them seem unrealistic. (D&D 4e could have learned from that.) Second, there's much to be said for a world of tough solo content.
What if the capstone quest always had to be done solo? So that the people with the best gear were the ones who had done great things without help? Why does the industry think this model only works in single-player games? How about a massive multiplayer world without thousands of quests where you start out in armies and gradually get winnowed down to a single combat with a huge dragon?

I've just discovered this page this morning while looking for some informations on RMT business models. I would be glad to share a personal feeling about th game ST Old Republic. In my point of view, the failure of the game lies more in the design of its world. When you compare it to WoW, it is in complete opposition : a sad and dark world, almost unpopulated, players do not need to cooperate and the atmosphere is highly individualistic (when you meet at last someone and say hello, the other player does not even stop or reply). The game missed something in its MMO gameplay I think. So I stopped my subscription after 5 months. In my point of view, The change to a F2P model will not change it into a success. I think Edward has found it right : it is the world and its animations that makes a successful MMO. Now there is an open question about whether or not F2P is adapted even to "good MMO" (in the sense that F2P may be more profitable). The exemples of Chinese MMO would rather make me say yes but I think we have to deepen our understanding of the right conditions to realize it.

I agree wholeheartedly, and I think you've made a very insightful observation (as has Lethality for that matter in pointing out the 'Enter World' terminology).
I'm curious to know when 'subscription' first became the accepted term instead of something like 'access charge'? I think it is quite revealing, because the former term to me has all the connotations of signing up for a regular, one-way delivery of content as a consumer, thus the value is understandably evaluated on what I am given to consume. I'd never describe access to an interactive experience as a subscription (eg. forums, blogging platforms), nor do I use the phrase for services that enable me in some way (eg. electricity, internet). Subscriptions seem to be more about delivery of periodic content for consumption - such as magazines, news feeds and entertainment channels.
Am I seeing too much in this? For myself at least, this language certainly evokes paying for digestible chunks of game experience. It doesn't at all imply ongoing access to an interactive, malleable and unpredictable world.

The game industry will learn soon enough that it doesn't have to "waste" millions on "design and art" for building complex graphic worlds when people like Adam Lanza show us nifty ways to augment the real world and make user generated content even more seductive as a ROI, or maybe a return on non- investment to be more accurate. To think the "game biz" won't follow the economic lessons of old TV media is just silly. Reality TV killed the video star. And lets face it, digi-geeksters killed the music biz, and the music corps were the ones paying for all those Mtv Videos, until they weren't and we all got Snookied.

"You" will never have a world but only games. A virtual world is same utopian as the multiculturalism is. No matter how you name it or paint it, free or for money , there's not such a thing like "virtual".Everything is real. Ppls can never ignore (even if they forget for a lil while) that is just a game. Also they never socialise for real on the so-called social net. No matter how deep or for how long one is immersed , the virtual is just "not for real". It's a movie. At it's best is a football game where you never go to a beer with the guys ; bcoz u never meet them.

Any game which is only combat will have boring combat...no matter how "fast" or "twitchy" or "action-packed" developers make it. The failure of developers to create a compelling game is the failure of developers to understand drama.
Combat is, or at least should be, a time of high dramatic tension. And while it's good to have times of high dramatic tension, the only way it can be [em]perceived[/em] as a time of high dramatic tension is if there are times of low dramatic tension.
The problem with today's "action-packed mmo" is that they achieve the action-packedness by removing all the times of low dramatic tension (the "worldy" stuff Castronova talks about). As a result, they play like films that are all action from beginning to end; they feel like pointless series of explosions.
Fiction, done well, advance the story in the "slow scenes," the time when dramatic tension is low. The problem is that game developers are trained to [em]hate[/em] slow; they see times when players aren't mashing buttons as "timesinks" and "bad design." But it's actually [em]good[/em] design, in terms of dramatic design.

This clash appears to be happening at the moment over the governance of the new SimCity. There have been a few uproars over the requirement of the game to be connected to the internet (almost certainly copy protection related but allegedly because of its inter-city connected gameplay), and over items in the EULA about reporting bugs. All of these are MMO standards, but the community isn't taking to it well (and I would bet might even take less well to the notion that SimCity has become an MMO).
There is no subscription, but there are all manner of other MMO-related community management issues that appear to be arising. One wonders whether the final, actual SimCity-playing community will find it sufficiently a world to continue playing it.

Home Renovation, 7-Year-Old Style
At our house, chores are approached casually and happily, with everyone pitching in. When it came time to start work on our renovation, we kept the same attitude, with everyone contributing according to his or her ability. Some of us install new plumbing, some paint, and some hammer their little hearts out.
Just as we do when it comes to chores, we maintain realistic expectations. We would never expect a kid to clean a bathroom as thoroughly as an adult would, or sort laundry carefully, or demo a bathroom, but we do want him to be involved and to feel proud. Though the three of us don't usually work on the new house together, the times that we do are particularly sweet. Here's what the 7-year-old has crushed so far:
Sweeping: There aren't too many ways a kid can screw up sweeping, and the thing I'm learning about renovation is that there's always sweeping to be done.
Sanding: Detailed sanding can be a tedious chore, but we happen to have a few sanding jobs that don't require too much detail-oriented work. Lightly sanding something so it can be repainted (in our case, an old vanity) is a great task for a dust mask-wearing kid.
Carrying things: Energetic little legs can put a serious dent in the millions of trips in and out of the house that need to be done: carrying small things to to the trash cans by himself/herself, helping to carry larger items to the dumpster, and feeling strong.
Vacuuming: I know a few kids that love to vacuum, and getting to use the R2-D2-like Shop-Vac is a treat. It's cool in the same way earth-movers are, all black and yellow and heavy-duty!
Collecting nails: I was in charge of removing the double sets of trim around the base of the walls using a pry bar and though I tried to be careful, the nails tended to skitter around the room. Collecting (non-rusty) nails in a little bucket is almost as good as an Easter egg hunt to a 7-year-old. Probably.
Picking paint colors: I can spend weeks- months!- picking out paint colors, but the young one has no such hesitation. Zero hesitation, in fact: "green and white stripes!" Hmmm...
Scrubbing: We're not quite to the scrubbing stage in any of the rooms yet, but when we are, we'll totally let him loose with a sponge and a big bucket of soapy water. We grownups might have forgotten how fun it is to play with sudsy, bubbly water, but kids know what's up. And unless a kid accidentally scrubs down a freshly painted wall or something, there's not much that can go wrong.
Hammering nails into scraps of wood: This is a crucial task that no one else will approach with appropriate zeal and thoroughness. If you don't have a 7-year-old available to hammer nails into scraps of wood, don't even bother.
Obviously, all common sense safety precautions apply- and then some, because I'm a worrier. I would love to hear how you have involved your kids in home improvement projects!

When my nephew was about that age, he loved to play with my 12' spring tape measure. Any arithmetic practice in the measuring was a bonus.
My daughter took great pride in helping us paint her playhouse. She picked the color -- actually she first picked the color for her bedroom, but it was so overwhelming that I talked her into something paler and promised to use this on her playhouse. I was so delighted she took the compromise. She painted pieces on the ground and on the playhouse. I just put her in old, stained clothes and gave her a small container of paint and let her go to town. I kept her company and filled in the gaps.
When we added a deck & slide, she learned the most important project-planning lesson of all: it's MUCH easier to make changes to your plan BEFORE a project begins than AFTER.
My kid is only two, so he can't do much, but he loooves "measuring" things with the measuring tape. He uses a smaller measuring tape, not one of those big heavy metal case ones.
Need a lot of nails/screws - especially wood working - have the little one rub them with a bar of soap... It makes driving them into the wood so much easier.
You can also set up an R&R zone.. have them serve lemonade, water and snacks; put them in charge of a small first aid kit providing antiseptic pads, bandages, tweezers and trash removal on the spot (any opportunity to play doctor is great and this is a good time to go over 911 protocol just-in-case).
Add my 4 year old to those who insist on measuring all the things. Fixing the bathroom faucet? Not until he's measured it thoroughly along with all the other things in the bathroom. We give him a little notepad to jot down his "measurements". He's also pretty enthusiastic about sweeping with his little broom.
Adorable photo ... that kid looks so happy to be helping.

On this day, 7 March, in 1274 the great Dominican theologian, Saint Thomas Aquinas died at the Benedictine abbey of Fossanova. Among his last words, when he received the Blessed Sacrament as Viaticum, were these:
"I receive you, price of my soul's redemption, I receive you, viaticum of my pilgrimage, for love of whom I have studied, watched, laboured; I have preached you, I have taught you; never have I said anything against you, and if I have done so it is through ignorance and I do not grow stubborn in my error; if I have taught ill on this sacrament or the others, I submit it to the judgment of the Holy Roman Church, in obedience to which I leave now this life."
"After he had told the disciples of his coming Death, on the holy mountain he manifested to them his glory, to show, even by the testimony of the law and the prophets, that the Passion leads to the glory of the Resurrection…"
– from the Preface for the 2nd Sunday of Lent in the Roman Missal.
This photo of the Transfiguration is one of the mosaics on the facade of the Rosary Basilica in Lourdes.
"By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises was ready to offer up his only son, of whom it was said, 'Through Isaac shall your descendants be named.' He considered that God was able to raise men even from the dead; hence, figuratively speaking, he did receive him back" – Hebrews 11:17-19.
Detail from a window by Edward Burne-Jones in Jesus College chapel, Cambridge.
"Life away from truth is the road to death. Consequently, the return to the homeland also begins with an inner pilgrimage… [journeying] back to the truth and so to the love of the Father, who loves the truth, who is truth." – from Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger, Journey to Easter.
From the Roman Martyrology for today, 2 March, we commemorate the death:
"At Lichfield in England, [of] Saint Chad, a bishop, who in the straightened circumstances of his time presided in the office of bishop of the province of the Mercians, of Lindsey and of the Middle Angles, an office he executed after the example of the ancient fathers in great perfection of life".
St Chad (d.672) is patron of the Catholic Archdiocese of Birmingham, and he is shown in this window ministering to the sick and needy of his diocese, which in the Middle Ages, was in Lichfield.
From the Roman Martyrology for today, 1 March:
"At Menevia in Wales, the bishop Saint David, who, following the example and customs of the Eastern Fathers, founded a monastery, from which many monks went out to evangelise Wales, Ireland, Cornwall and Brittany."
This mosaic of St David, patron saint of Wales, is in Westminster Cathedral in London, and it was blessed by Pope Benedict in 2010. The artist is Ifor Davies.

Bulky Waste Collections
The Council provides a Bulky Waste Collection service for householders which covers items that are too large to be picked up by the standard refuse or recycling collections, or that people cannot transport to the Household Waste Recycling Centres (HWRC) themselves.
If you wish to arrange a collection, please arrange a collection online. There is information on what can and cannot be collected and how much it costs using the links below.
Arrange a collection
Book and pay for a bulky waste collection
Standard bulky waste items collected
Generally a standard item is something that you would take with you when you move house e.g tables, chairs fridges, beds.
Please view our list of standard items collected by the bulky waste service. This is a chargeable service which is charged as follows:
- Up to four items - £21.00 total
- Additional items - £8.00 each (maximum of four)
- Maximum total collection cost is £53.00 for eight items
To arrange and pay for a collection please use the link above or call 0300 1234 141.
A request for more than eight items requires a separate booking, which has the £21.00 standard fee applied again. There are no concessions on these fees.
Bulky waste items requiring a special collection
Some non standard items can be collected as either small or large special items. Please view the special small bulky waste items and special large bulky waste items lists for information on those items that require a special collection, and for more information on item sizes.
Charges for special items are;
- For a large item - £32
- For a small item - £19.00
To arrange and pay for a collection please use the link above or call 0300 1234 141.
Items that cannot be collected
Some items will not be accepted. Please follow the link to find out what bulky waste items are not collected.
For items not on either list please contact us on 0300 1234 141 or email: email@example.com
Leaving your bulky waste items out for collection
When you book your collection you will be advised of the day of collection or informed that a member of our team will contact you to confirm a collection day.
When placing out your bulky waste for pre-arranged collection, residents are asked to identify a suitable and safe collection point within the boundary of their property, but as near to the normal waste collection point as is practically possible. The Council can provide advice if you experience difficulty in placing out bulky items for collection.
The terms and conditions for the bulky waste collections can be found at bulky waste terms and conditions.
Other options for bulky items
There are many ways to recycle or reuse bulky items including charity shops, recycling companies, local adverts, freecycle, junk swaps and car boot sales. If you are able to transport items yourself, most towns have their own auction rooms, which are a good way of selling and buying second hand items.

This has been my go-to recipe for grilling squash since it was first published. I have probably made it at least 10 times and while simple, it is well received. My 3-year-old and 5-year-old ate it happily tonight and adults like it too. It looks (and is) so simple but the results are really outstanding.
Grilled Summer Squash
You can use either all yellow squash or zucchini, but the dish is prettiest with a combination of the two.

Truth be told, the majority of broadcast shows are floating precariously atop the cancellation bubble. A world without 'Fringe'? An NBC Thursday night without 'Community'? Folks, it could happen.
Take NBC: the struggling network is aggressively developing new shows, desperate for a hit. Can old standbys like 'Parks and Recreation' survive when big dogs Sarah Silverman and Dane Cook are all developing new shows at the Peacock network?
A few notches away on the dial, CBS's 'CSI' franchise is starting to fizzle and the network has its eye on new comedies. With three different 'CSI' shows, it's safe to say one will probably go.
Who will survive this season? Only time will tell, but any of these shows could be goners by May.

Ramsar statement to AEWA's 3rd Meeting of the Parties, October 2005
Delivered on behalf of the Convention by Switzerland.
Mr. President,
Fellow delegates.
It is with pleasure that Switzerland provides a statement on behalf of the Ramsar Convention, the Secretariat of which Switzerland is pleased to host. The Ramsar convention will be holding its ninth COP in just 2 weeks, on this Continent, in the city of Kampala.
The theme of that COP is Wetlands and Water: supporting life, sustaining livelihoods. Discussions will focus on wetlands; their role in helping us reduce poverty, and in making available quality drinking water for all. In this respect the Conference is a contribution to ensuring the Millennium Development Goals, and especially Goal 7, Ensuring environmental sustainability, can be achieved.
The COP is also set at a time in which the world has seen a set of unprecedented natural disasters involving wetlands and water, culminating in the current global anxieties about the potential for Avian Influenza virus to affect the human species. Wise management of wetlands, and their dependant species, is key to ensuring human and environmental security, as well as ensuring human well-being. The resolution before the MoP on Climate change is one of significance, which I am sure will have resonance at the Ramsar COP.
Here is where we link with the concerns of this MoP. For Ramsar is about wise use and the conservation of all wetlands in the territory of our contracting Parties, and these wetlands form the basic ecosystems for nurturing migratory birds, among other key species. We note the draft resolution on increasing support for determining the Waterbird population estimates, and will be pleased to work as human and financial resources allow towards this end.
We have thus a common cause, site conservation through Ramsar, and focus on the plight of species in the case of AEWA. Both this Agreement and the Ramsar Convention have much to contribute to ensuring a sustainable future for people, in which human security is seen as closely linked to environmental security. And this means conservation for other species, as well as promoting a more sustainable and equitable earth for people.
The Ramsar COP will be examining, inter alia, how wetlands are linked to other wetlands, either remotely through movements of migratory species, or directly through local hydrology. The former point again is an area where of joint programme of work will be important in delivering outcomes needed by Parties to the Agreement and the Convention.
Wetlands are linked by water flows, above and below ground, and this points to the need for integrated management - another area of concern in our COP discussions. In this way we will focus on wetlands, not as isolated features in the land or sea scape, but as key elements in a functioning matrix of ecosystems.
Crucial in understanding these aspects of wetland ecology is relating people and their actions and activities to the conservation and wise use of wetlands. Through beneficial actions by people we can ensure a continued delivery of ecosystem services, which in turn will ensure the continuity of Biodiversity. We will, through these actions, both be making an important contribution to achieving the 2010 target for a reduction in biodiversity loss.
Mr President, after this MoP has finished its work, and the Ramsar COP has concluded in Kampala, it is intended that the Secretariats of the agreement and the Convention review the joint programme of work, and set new, achievable joint objectives for the next triennium. In this way we will continue to foster real synergies between us, for the benefit of wetlands and their dependant avifauna.
We also note the emphasis on improving and simplifying national reporting, and will take the results of the MoP discussions into consideration when the Ramsar COP debates the same issues in Kampala. It seems it is time to make things simpler, so we can understand more clearly complicated issues.
Mr President, on behalf of the Ramsar Convention, we wish you a most productive and fruitful MoP, and look forward to seeing the outcomes, and of course continuing our work together in the future.
Thank you Mr President.

And the same is true of a business relationship. We must learn how to manage and to do our best with what comes our way. Naturally you will run into differences of opinion, yet, in the three and a half decades of our winemaking business in and with Orange County, we have run into this an inconsequential number of times. Orange County has provided us with an ideal climate for both our winemaking and our business – all in this stunning and historic backdrop."

The city of Bedford bond flier proposes a $3.2 million Phase 1 park improvements for Boys Ranch Park. The flier conveniently failed to mention future bond proposals (Phases 2, 3, and 4) for more Boys Ranch Park improvements. Costs for the four phases would be more than $15 million.Bedford's debt already is approximately $69 million. The tax-and-spend liberals would like to further raise the debt dramatically in order to fund projects which fall into the category of "nice-to-haves."Our existing debt does not completely pay off until 2032. If these bonds are approved, and new 20-year bonds are issued, debt will certainly be extended for several years. Property taxes will go up to service the debt.This "borrow, tax-and-spend" approach mirrors the Obama administration philosophy: "Spend to your heart's content then kick the can down the road to your children and grandchildren." Join me in voting against the bond proposition. — Dorothy McWhorter, Bedford

There comes a time in life, when you walk away from all the drama and people who create it. You surround yourself with people who make you laugh, forget the bad, and focus on the good. So, love the people who treat you right. Pray for the ones who don't. Life is too short to be anything but happy. Falling down is part of LIFE…Getting back up is LIVING

Burning calories is just a question of dragging your lazy ass off the couch. But tracking them, and understanding how many you need to burn in order to get in shape is a different saga all together.
The Fitbit, which we reviewed a few months ago, tracks your steps, how well you slept, calories burned and packs it into a game like website for you to compete with other Fitbit members, or perhaps even friends. The slim and light weight device syncs wirelessly to your computer and the website is packed with fun colors and graphs to help you stay up to date on your progress. The whole service is free, but for more in depth analysis, you'll have to throw down $49.99 a year. However, the device did have a few shortcomings, which have now been addressed in the form of a new iteration, the FitBit Ultra.
The FitBit Ultra adds a clock and stopwatch to its display, as well as a new color option and a personal greeting feature, which will all but give you a hug in the morning. But the biggie is the stair tracker. In other words it's got an altimeter, so you can track how many steps you've traversed throughout your day or perhaps even your workout, provided you're that daring. It's a pretty handy feature, and now looking back in retrospect we're kind of surprised they didn't include this on the first device.
Yes, we'll have a review soon, so hang tight. If not, you can buy on for $99.95 starting today.

Shakira is feeling good, thanks to Activia. The Voice coach is teaming up with the yogurt brand for its "Dare to Feel Good" campaign.
Shakira appears in a new Activia ad that features her song "Dare (La La La)." She's seen in a fantasy forest, with gold stardust falling around her. There's plenty of hip shaking from her, naturally.
Shakira says in a statement, "I believe that feeling good on the inside is the key to personal well-being, and dance is one way to communicate that synergy of feeling good inside and overall well-being."
She adds, "Part of why I collaborated with Activia to make the new TV commercial is because I truly believe that taking care of yourself from the inside helps you unlock and express your well-being on the outside."
The spot, which was filmed in Barcelona, Spain, debuts around the world this Sunday, including in the U.S. on Activia.us.com . The Portuguese version has already leaked online.
You can check out behind-the-scenes footage now on Activia's YouTube page.
"Dare (La La La)" is one of the tracks on Shakira's new, self-titled album, which will be released March 25.
