Although I don't play H-games like konata.
Don't you think the world would be much more interesting with Konata and Haruhi in charge?

We really need a poll that includes the second tier characters as well. I'm imagining that Kuroi (with her adorable little sniffs), Misao, Hiyori and Minami would rack up a fair few votes if they were included.
In this poll my vote has to go to Kagami-sama.
1. Kagamin: Even though Konata has some great lines, she seems to be the comedic set-up for Kagami in the show. In a typical scenario, Kona-chan says something otaku-ish prompting an irate Kagami to get the claws out and deliver a wonderfully cutting remark.
I tend to prefer complicated characters over others, and Kagami is the most interesting to me. She openly vocalises that she is frequently bothered by Konata's company (in particular), but is actually quite dependent on having others around her (as evidenced by her reaction when faced with the prospect of another year in a separate class to her friends) She is also plagued with self-doubt and has trouble voicing her emotions which make her feel like a more well-developed and rounded character than some of the other leads.
And on top of that: She doesn't have freakin huge eyes! Sorry, but huge eyes is a pet hate of mine in anime. I get that it's supposed to be 'cute' but it freaks me out when half of a character's face is taken up by eyeball.
But onto the other characters:
2. Kona-chan: I was actually tossing up between Kona-chan and Kagami for top spot, so Kona-chan comes in a close second. She's freaking hilarious at times when she's not referencing anime I have not seen or heard about. (I must confess I'm not that knowledgeable about the whole anime-scene, so a lot of her references go over my head). She's lazy, irresponsible, borderline maniacal and a barrel of laughs frequently, though a lot of props go to Aya Hirano for making her so hilarious.
I think had it not been for the last half of a season Kona-chan would not have been quite so high in my books, the concert + worrying about Kagami on the trip + the scenes with her father all made Kona-chan's character much more rounded and made her a more well developed character in my books.
Tsukasa + Yuki-chan: I must say that neither Tsukasa or Miyuki rate particularly highly in my standings. Tsukasa is too much of an airhead and Miyuki is too boring for my liking. While Tsukasa's ignorance and air-headedness are amusing at times, it is not my type of humour. Miyuki feels too much like Miss exposition or Miss Wikipedia to me, and hasn't had a great deal of character development. I would rate some of the second-tier characters much higher than these two.
Well, that was long winded, but just about all I can think of at the moment. I hope that we get a new one of these with more characters to choose from.
Oh, and since this is my first post. Hi!

Well Konata for me , I just love it everytimes she starts to speak or the look of her when she is suprised/shocked
Note that I liked all the character but it seems that Konata and Kagami are more preferable than Tsukasa/Miyuki
Otaku + Tsundere WIN
Thanks to Hirano Aya too She is awesome , both in Haruhi and LS

Favourite characters poll (multiple choice) now up
For Your Information: this thread/poll (4 main characters, single choice) will be closed soon and replaced with a take 2 (say.. in a week or so? I want attention focused on the new one for the moment, though I have no doubts about that ^^), to see how values and preferences have moved since the start of the series.
EDIT: Thread/poll closed. A new one will be opened soon.

TeraStation Pro Hacking Talk
Recoving Deleted Files?
I had someone delete some files on my TeraStation Rpo 1.6Tb and I'm trying to figure out how to recover them. Any help would be appreciated.
-Mike 25 May 2006
- The TeraStation has a trashbox folder where it moves the files to you delete. Other than that you're out of luck. None of the journaling filesystems for Linux support undeleting, in fact most (I checked for ext3, xfs and jfs) are designed to make undeleting files non trivial. For all of them you must collect the bits from the harddisk and reassembly your files manually.

4x750GB drives
I've applied the patched firmware by Entropy, and it works fine for ssh.
The only issue I've got at the moment is the raid configuration on disks. It won't make a partition (per disk) larger than 585 GB (they're 750GB's), resulting in a RAID 5 array of only 1.6 TB (Should be 2.25TB?). Is this a limitation of the OS, or perhaps (I'm guessing) it was because the firmware came from a 1.6 TB Terastation Pro?
Does someone know how to change this? TIA...
- --Chay 23 May 2006
- If you have installed a hacked formware, or are willing to do so, I'd like to see a full dmesg. This might give us some hints.
- --Bg 07:57, 26 May 2006 (CEST)
- Just point to where, and I'll install it. I picked up another 300GB Terastation Pro for tinkering.
- --Chay 10 June 2006 (JST)
- Just point to where, and I'll install it. I picked up another 300GB Terastation Pro for tinkering.
Beta Firmware?
Why is the TSPro-1.01-0.51-withAD.zip firmware referred to as a beta firmware? It's listed as a firmware upgrade on their site with no reference to beta.
- When I added the link, it was called beta.
- --Bg 07:57, 26 May 2006 (CEST)
Partition Size Limitations
The 0.6-2.0 TB Terastations use the same firmware. Therefore, it shouldn't be a limitation of the particular firmware (by the way, the firmware I posted was for my 1.0TB Terastation, not the 1.6TB - not that it should matter at all). The Terastations use the Linux 2.4 kernel, and as far as I know, there is a 2TB partition size limit. I'm not sure how that would play out with RAID though. Perhaps that caps the largest Terastation to 2TB (minus the RAID5 overhead).
Web Server
The TsP includes Apache Web server.
The first step in hacking the Tsp is to install the firmware with dropbear and login using Putty.
A link to the firmware is available on the TeraStationPro page. Use the unofficial firmware at http://www.megaupload.com/?d=G6269VIG Copy the image.dat file over the official image.dat file in the official firmware package and update the firmware. An alternate firmware appears on http://homepage.ntlworld.com/itimpi/buffalo.htm#TERA_PRO.
Go to www.apache.org for instructions to configure additional web sites in Apache.
That will get you SSH. Use Putty to access the TsP. From there you can do anything you want. You will need to edit the apache config file at /etc/apache/httpd.conf and create the directory where you want to store your web page files. I'd create the location with the web admin share manager first. it will wind up in /mnt/array1/WHATEVER so you can access it through the regualr ftp server and SMB shares. You will also need to restart the apache server (or just the entire TsP after editing the apache configuration file.
What version of Linux is on the TsP? I think what I want might be a bit beyond the scope of the Terastation. Here is what I would like to do... I would like to access the TsP and install a newer version of Linux with a UI. Then I would like add MySql and host my .Net web sites on the box. I would also like to install an email server of some kind. Basically I want to turn my TsP into a Linux PC. Is this possible? Also I have been spoilt over the past 10 years with gui interfaces and have not have much Unix experience, so I need to know where to look to get help working with the Linux kernal.
The hardware is essentially the same as a Kurobox HG except the Kuro uses PATA and the TsP uses SATA. I'd start your research at www.kurobox.com . Of particular use might me my All in One Contest entry. Regarding the Kernel, updating it is going to be a bit of work. I would stick with the 2.4.20 kernel that is stock for the web server and mail server as they don't require a 2.6 kernel to work.
So how do I do it? Can someone write some pointers for people usually used to Windows, how to do something with the box? I have installed the firmware, and can putty into the server. But now what do I do? What CAN I do?
Once you login using putty and your admin account all you have to do is type "sudo -s" at the prompt and retype your password. Now you are root and have full access to the entire system. Heed the warning and be careful. I installed wizd the other evening and am considering making it do double duty as an mp3 player, but first I need to compile loader.o and build a 2.6 kernel.
I do what you suggest. I get this result...

A pervert who exposed his genitals to a woman and committed sexual offences involving two young girls has been allowed to walk free from Nottingham Crown Court after sentencing last week.
Chesterfield magistrates' court originally heard on August 12, how Brian Worthy, 65, of Brentwood Road, Bamford, admitted committing the offences.
He appeared at Derby Crown Court during proceedings but his case had been repeatedly adjourned until sentencing on January 24.
District Judge Andrew Davison had told Worthy during the magistrates' hearing: "The facts are shocking and distressing. It's disturbing. There were a number of incidents in a short period of time."
Worthy, who used to work in the pub trade, pleaded guilty to causing or inciting a girl under 13 to engage in sexual activity between June 1 and 5, and guilty to the same offence with another girl on July 17. He also pleaded guilty to intentionally exposing his genitals to a woman in a park in Bamford on July 2.
Defence solicitor Steve Brint said during the magistrates' hearing that Worthy's behaviour was new and needed 'nipping in the bud'.
He added Worthy would have struggled to cope in prison. The magistrates' court had heard how there was no penetration or any actual contact involved.
Worthy was sentenced to a three–year community order with supervision and was made the subject of a Sexual Offences Prevention Order placing him on a sex offenders' register.

Kcal ??? Fat ??? Fat(sats) ??? Carbs ???
HAPPY 2011!!! ChocolateMission is back, and boy is it back with a bang!!! I couldn't think of any more appropriate bar to start the year off with than Ritter Sport's 2011 flavour of the year. I was sent this bar back in October 2010 as part of Ritter's bloggers tasting panel to give them some early feedback on what I thought (hence the stock photo of the wrapper above!), suffice to say I've been excited about telling you all about it for a good while now. So what is flavour of the year for 2011? Why of course it is the 'Weiss + Crisp' variant - that's 'White & Crisp' to us Brits! Formed of 'white chocolate and cornflake cereal pieces' this was a rare opportunity to see what Ritter could do with their white chocolate.
As I said above I received this in sampling form so all the 100.0g bars came delivered to me in unmarked Ritter packs. I'm making assumptions about the wrapper, but looking at the design of it I would say that it retains the modern feel of the Ritter brand and manages to communicate the flavour theme in an unfussy manner. My first impressions of the chocolate that were that is was absolutely jam packed full of cornflakes at the base. Compared to the milk chocolate Knusperflakes bar, the chocolate seemed to have more cereal - I guess this is something we can check out when the details emerge on the Ritter website.
What with Ritter being so kind to send multiple bars along, I was able to share them with the rest of my family who are also experienced Ritter Sport consumers. Aroma wise the chocolate smelt nice and offered a dairy based set of scents that had minor biscuity hints. Breaking the bars apart did cause fragments of cereal to disperse themselves but this worried us all very little as soon as we had the chocolate in our mouths. I think we all know that white chocolate isn't my favourite type, but boy was I loving this stuff! It was sinfully creamy in taste and although sweet it never developed an over reliance on it's sugaryness. As the smooth melt of the chocolate progressed an ever developing note of vanilla came to the party and was the lasting impression left in the mouth. The cereal constituents were also well integrated. The corn flavours may not has been as powerful as any nuts, but the saltyness of cereal complimented to the sweet taste of the chocolate wonderfully. This was such a moreish chocolate, I had no problems eating over a half a bar in one sitting - it was that good!
Overall the Ritter Sport bars of the Year haven't always been the best the brand has to offer (See last years HERE), but we should all be very pleased that this Weiss + Crisp is going to be around for at least 12 months. Ever since I reviewed the Ritter Sport White & Whole Hazelnut bar back in 2008 (See HERE), I have been a massive advocate the Ritter should try make a few more variants using their white chocolate recipe. Up until now, Ritter have only obliged with a smattering of white chocolate in their summer bars, but this bar here provides us with further evidence that they really need to start using it an awful lot more. Ritter Sport's white chocolate is quite frankly delicious, and as showcased here pairing it with cornflakes made for a really top combination. I needn't have to say anything more about this particular flavour other than you should try it if you like white chocolate. What a cracking start to the year, fingers crossed everything lives up the standard set here.

The Times reports that ad firm Ogilvy-Mather plans to take over a building at 11th Avenue & 47th Street, making them pioneers on the Far West side. Though, it must be noted, their building is not really all *that* close to the Rail Yards site.
Andrew Berman (he of many community activist organizations) takes out the big guns for the current status of the planning process in Chelsea Now - making a number of excellent points in the process.
Crain's notes the HYCAC's open letter, giving special attention to the organization's implicit support for the Brookfield site plan.
The New York Observer's real estate blog suggests that Merrill Lynch's decision to renew its lease on current offices at the World Financial Center (owned and administered by Brookfield Properties) could potentially work in favor of the Brookfield plan... although the suggestion that Brookfield could conceivably talk Merrill into becoming the anchor tenant they currently lack seems unfounded at this juncture.
And, to file under "Old but worthy:" Stephen Holl discusses his strategies to make the Extell plan "9/11 proof" in New York's Daily Intelligencer.

LOUISIANA: McCain
Published: November 6, 2008
Louisiana had backed the winner in every presidential election since 1972, but that string ended this year, with Senator John McCain carrying the state.
Senator Mary L. Landrieu, the only Democratic senator who faced serious opposition this year, won a third term by defeating John Kennedy, a Republican who is the state treasurer.
Ms. Landrieu, a member of a prominent political family, firmed up her support by securing billions of dollars to help Louisiana recover from Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.
Mr. Kennedy, who switched parties last year, criticized Ms. Landrieu as one of the most liberal senators in state history. She called him a ''confused politician,'' noting that in 2004 he endorsed the Democratic presidential candidate, John Kerry.
Representative William J. Jefferson won a Democratic primary runoff in the Second District, based in New Orleans, even though he has been indicted on bribery and racketeering charges. Mr. Jefferson, the state's first black congressman since Reconstruction, defeated Helena Moreno, a former television reporter. He is heavily favored to win a general election on Dec. 6.
Representative Don Cazayoux was one of only a handful of House Democrats nationwide who lost their seats. He was defeated by State Senator Bill Cassidy, a Republican who is also a doctor.
In the First District, connecting parts of New Orleans and its suburbs, Representative Steve Scalise, a Republican, held on to the seat he won in May in a special election. The Democrat, Jim Harlan, a businessman, spent more than $1 million of his own money.

This looks so delicious--as well as the bread and donuts and all. My dear Hungarian friend loved to make paprikash for us and I haven't done it in a long time. Now I'm inspired!
Did you have snow? I heard that was a possibility. It's a good time to be in. And, I know. We had two feet a few weeks ago and a foot on the way!!

Chronic bronchitis is a long-term condition without fever. It is characterizedby a permanent cough with sputum, due to continual over-production of mucus. Healthy lungs normally produce a small amount of mucus all the time, and this is constantly swept up the bronchi by the cilia. This process goes on all the time without us noticing it, as the amount of mucus is very small, and it is swallowed imperceptibly with our saliva. But when irritation of the bronchi, due to infection, air pollution, smoking, or other external irritants, provokes the production of abnormally large amounts of mucus, this literally swamps the minute cilia. The deep layer of mucus covers the cilia, so they can no longer propel it upwards. Then the body can only get rid of the mucus by coughing.
Chronic bronchitis may be classified into three grades of severity -
Pulmonary are essential in supporting the health and general tone of the lungs and respiratory function.
Expectorant - stimulating will be especially important in the more productive cases
Expectorant - relaxing will not be as important for chronic as they were for acute bronchitis, however they often provide good support remedies in some cases.
Demulcent will be of help if there is much irritation involved.
Diaphoretic are of help in cases of feverishness, but are not as important as they were for acute bronchitis.
Anti-spasmodics may be helpful in severe coughing or breathless.
Anti-microbials helps the bodies attempts to rid any accompanying infection, if present.
Cardio-Tonic herbs are essential for supporting cardiac function in anyone with weak hearts, long term chronic bronchitis or the elderly.
Nervine support and even adaptogens may be helpful in some cases.

AUSTIN, Texas — The US Anti-Doping Agency said Thursday night it will strip Lance Armstrong of his unprecedented seven Tour de France titles after he declared he was finished fighting the drug charges that threaten his legacy as one of the greatest cyclists of all time.
Travis Tygart, USADA's chief executive, said Armstrong would also be hit with a lifetime ban on Friday. And under the World Anti-Doping Code, he would lose the bronze medal from the 2000 Olympics as well as any awards, event titles, and cash earnings.
Still to be heard from was the sport's governing body, the International Cycling Union, which had backed Armstrong's legal challenge to USADA's authority.
Tygart said UCI was ''bound to recognize our decision and impose it'' as a signer of the World Anti-Doping Code.
''They have no choice but to strip the titles under the code,'' he said.
Armstrong, who retired last year, declined to enter USADA's arbitration process — his last option — because he said he was weary of fighting accusations that have dogged him for years. He has consistently pointed to the hundreds of drug tests that he has passed as proof of his innocence during his extraordinary run of Tour titles stretching from 1999-2005.
''There comes a point in every man's life when he has to say, 'Enough is enough.' For me, that time is now,'' Armstrong said in a statement sent to The Associated Press. He called the USADA investigation an ''unconstitutional witch hunt.''
''I have been dealing with claims that I cheated and had an unfair advantage in winning my seven Tours since 1999,'' he said. ''The toll this has taken on my family and my work for our foundation and on me leads me to where I am today — finished with this nonsense.''
USADA reacted quickly and treated Armstrong's decision as an admission of guilt, hanging the label of drug cheat on an athlete who was a hero to thousands for overcoming life-threatening testicular cancer and for his foundation's support for cancer research.
''It is a sad day for all of us who love sport and athletes,'' Tygart said. ''It's a heartbreaking example of win at all costs overtaking the fair and safe option. There's no success in cheating to win.''
Tygart said the agency can strip the Tour titles, though Armstrong disputed that as he insisted his decision is not an admission of drug use, but a refusal to enter an arbitration process he believes is unfair.
''USADA cannot assert control of a professional international sport and attempt to strip my seven Tour de France titles,'' he said.
USADA maintains that Armstrong has used banned substances as far back as 1996, including the blood-booster EPO and steroids as well as blood transfusions — all to boost his performance.
The 40-year-old Armstrong walked away from the sport in 2011 without being charged following a two-year federal criminal investigation into many of the same accusations he faces from USADA.
The federal probe was closed in February, but USADA announced in June it had evidence Armstrong used banned substances and methods — and encouraged their use by teammates. The agency also said it had blood tests from 2009 and 2010 that were ''fully consistent'' with blood doping.
''There is zero physical evidence to support [the] outlandish and heinous claims," Armstrong said. "The only physical evidence here is the hundreds of [doping] controls I have passed with flying colors."
Armstrong sued USADA in Austin, where he lives, in an attempt to block the case and was supported by the UCI. A judge threw out the case on Monday, siding with USADA despite questioning the agency's pursuit of Armstrong in his retirement.
Tygart has dismissed Armstrong's lawsuit as an attempt at ''concealing the truth.'' He said USADA is motivated by one goal — exposing cheaters in sport.

Huge huge huge hold from Murray there.
Wahey Fed won a game

I guess it's kind of like him breaking a mental barrier, showing he can win on one of the biggest stages in the world without choking in the final.
This is painful to watch. Federer is just not moving as well as he generally does and there is no crowd to lift him.
Would be some choke to lose from here. Surely a gold medal on its way.

Oh Murray, you are so close. Can you just finish it off now.
I'm no tennis expert but this is the best I've ever seen Murray play
Hey Fed, at least get the ball on the other side of the net.

Making Shadows with Foreshadowing While We Predict!
Lesson 5 of 8
Objective: SWBAT use questions, illustrations, words and background knowledge to make a prediction and describe how rhyming and rhythm add meaning to the text.
Big Idea: There are "shadow's" of meaning that help us predict – pictures, words, and what you already know!
- foreshadowing powerpoint shown on a screen
- There Was An Old Lady Who Swallowed Some Snow by Lucille Colandro (to read to the group)
- Other books in this series - one for each group of students-mark the end of each book with a post-it so the students can predict
- black construction paper, set of crayons and white paper for yourself & students
- Set up the whiteboard
- Lesson vocabulary words from the Reading/Writing word wall: predicting, illustrations, questioning, rhythm, rhyme, onomatopoeia, exposition
- Group rules poster (see resources below)
I chose these books because the kids love them and I consider them classic literature. The kids all know about the 'spider version' but it was fun to read these other versions. The illustrations are excellent and very conducive to predicting.
This is one of the lessons in the middle of my prediction unit and my students have used the SEE/KNOW/READ strategy and are familiar with questioning. For more background on these strategies, take a look at Peek Inside and Predict (Lesson 1 of 2), Peek Inside and Predict (Lesson 2 of 2), Predict the Ending - It Goes Around and Around, Predict the Ending and Use the Characters' Voices, Predict Using Characters' Action and Rhythm, Go Figure with Figurative Language and Tie it Together with Transition Words.

Let's Get Excited!
Underlined words below are lesson vocabulary words that are emphasized and written on sentence strips for my Reading & Writing word wall. I pull off the words off the wall for each lesson, helping students understand this key 'reading and writing' vocabulary can be generalized across texts and topics. The focus on acquiring and using these words is part of a shift in the Common Core Standards towards building students' academic vocabulary. My words are color coded 'pink' for literature/'blue' for reading strategies/'orange' for informational text/'yellow' for writing/'green' for all other words.
Gain student interest
- "Today we will be predicting the end to a story. We're going to see how an author uses foreshadowing." Put that word on the board. "What word do you see in that word? Pause … "That's right- shadow!"
- "I brought some shadows today." Put up on the powerpoint and show slide by slide.
- "See if you can predict what we are going to read about from the shadows!"
Resources (1)
Teacher's Turn
Preview the task
- "We are going to read a story about a snowman today." Show the book. "I love this author because she has LOTS of great illustrations, and it's fun to predict the ending!"
- "The snowman picture that we looked at demonstrated foreshadowing. Authors use foreshadowing in books with illustrations and words to help us predict and build excitement."
- "Foreshadowing involves asking questions, looking at the illustrations and reading the exposition-beginning of the book. Here's the whiteboard with these foreshadowing ideas.
Review the strategies
- "Before we predict, we need to do some pre-reading. We've done this before-take a look at the chart on the board." If you have not introduced SEE-KNOW-READ, take a few moments now.
- "What do you SEE on the cover? Ask yourself some questions - Who is that? What is happening? …We can use the illustrations and questioning to help us find information. Let's write down some of your ideas." Take ideas, prompt with the characters, setting...write them on the chart.
- "What do we KNOW about this character? Some of you said that you had read books by this author?" Take ideas and write them down on the chart. "She swallows lots of silly things…. There are sounds - We call those sounds onomatopoeia. " Introduce or review that word as necessary.
- "I'll READ the first 2 pages. Let's ask a few more questions. Why is she doing this? ….?" prompt for ideas and write on the chart
- Here's the completed chart on the whiteboard.
- "Did you notice how I am reading? The sentences sound like a song. That's called rhythm. What about the words 'scarf' and 'barf' and 'snow' and 'know'? Yes, those words rhyme. This author uses rhyming and rhyme to give us meaning in the story!"
As students use rhythm, rhyme and onomatopoeia, they are describing how words and phrases supply meaning in this story. (RL.2.4) They are interpreting words and phrases as they are used in the text purposefully by the author. This figurative language shapes meaning and tone in the story. This kind of close reading with a focus on figurative language and wording is a shift in learning based on the Common Core State Standards.
Demonstrate the prediction
- "Let's predict the ending! I'll look at my clues that foreshadow the end. I'm going to use black paper and a white crayon because black is the color of a shadow. Each time I find a clue, I'll write in on the black page in a list."
- "Now let's read up to the marked page." Read the story, adding single words on a list on the black page, such as pipe, coal, scarf, hat ... Stop at the marked page (right before the picture of the snowman. Here's the list that I had for the inside of the project.).
- "Now I have lots of ideas and I'll predict. I think that the old lady"... guess it a little bit wrong by saying I think she'll become a snowman. "I'll write that idea on the bottom of the list and circle it, because it's my prediction."
- Read the last pages. "I was almost right with my prediction. I'll cross it off and write the correct ending and circle that. Now I'll make a snowman, since that's what was at the end." Draw a snowman on the white paper (as tall as the list) - and add some simple details. Here's my front of my project.
- "I'll cut the 2 pages together into a snowman shape and staple the black page on the back of the white page. Now the snowman has a shadow, because there was lots of fore'shadow'ing in the book!"
Resources (4)
The Students' Take a Turn
Explain the task
- "I brought some books from the same author for you to read. You'll be using the foreshadowing to predict the end." Pass out black paper and white crayons.
- "Read your books in a group and write down clues that foreshadow the ending. You can take turns reading or one person can read the story. Let's review the rules for group work.
- "Use the rhythm and rhyming to help you understand the meaning better. Look at the illustrations and words to get ideas. I'll be walking around to hear you questioning. Who..what..when..where.. why... how. This questioning helps us to understand better and predict more accurately."
- "Each person should add clues to their own black paper. Remember to write down the middle of the paper only. Stop at the end of the book where I put the marker and make your prediction. Try to use the clues to better understand the characters, setting and plot."
- "Write your prediction and circle it on your paper. Then raise your hand and let me check it before you look – don't peek !! After I check your prediction, then you can read the rest of the book."
- "You have 10 minutes to use foreshadowing to predict the end of the bookl" Give your kids 10 minutes and a one minute warning to finish.
This focus on asking and answering questions to demonstrate understanding of key details in a text (RL.2.1) helps students read closely to determine why at the text says explicitly and make logical inferences form it. They are citing specific textual evidence to support the answers. They are also using information gained from the illustrations and words to demonstrate understanding of the characters, setting and plot. (RL.2.7) As they integrate and evaluate the content presented visually and in words, I am encouraging the students to draw on their own abilities to discover answers by themselves rather than relying on adults to supply the answers.
Supervise and prompt
- "Wow, lots of good ideas! Now use your white paper and draw a picture of what you predicted from the top to the bottom of your paper in the middle (so it matches the list). Come up and get it stapled when you're done."
- "Great job predicting with foreshadowing today. You used illustrations, as well as what you could SEE/KNOW/READ to get lots of clues. The foreshadowing in this book really helps you to predict. We'll be doing more predicting in the future!!"
Resources (1)
Apply It!
Share the ideas
- "Now that you have all done such a GREAT job predicting, lets share. I need a volunteer group to come up and tell us your foreshadowing clues on the black paper. We can try to predict the ending to your book. Show us one good illustration from the book and tell us if there was rhythm and rhyming words. With good illustrations and words, we can better understand the characters, setting and plot of the story!"
- Have the groups come up and share their clues. Let the class guess and then let the kids share their projects.
- "That was great fun! I love this series because it's so fun to predict!! The foreshadowing, rhythm and rhyme makes reading the story more enjoyable!"
Scaffolding and Special Education: This lesson can be scaffolded up or down, depending on student ability.
For students with lesser academic abilities, the group work should allow them to have others read but give them a chance to contribute ideas. The books have great pictures, but they may need another student to read and help with vocabulary.
For students with greater academic skills, they should be challenged to really use the rhythm and rhyme in the stories and make some inferences. These books are full of humor and underlying ideas (there are extra characters in the pictures that can help the reader infer what will happen and they also are doing funny actions that add to the meaning of the story.)

Here's a modest proposal for Ancestry.com on a little trick that they could use to get new subscribers. (With all apologies to Johnathan Swift and only a slightly intentional reference to eating your young).
I recently got a short e-mail from a cousin who was interested in starting to do some research into one of her ancestral lines. (Her father's line, which I know nothing about, since I'm related to her mother).
I immediately volunteered to do some looking around on ancestry.com to see what I could find. Of course I'm very conscious of not wanting to cheat ancestry.com out of a potential future customer. So I wouldn't plan on making a habit of doing free searches for friends. But my thinking is that I can find a few snippets for my cousin and then, if she becomes excited enough about what's out there, she may become a paid subscriber.
But I wondered how ancestry.com thinks about approaching people like my cousin and winning them over as a paying customer. To start with, a potential customer has to find out about the product. That's what all of the advertising is geared towards. But my cousin wasn't approaching this because she knew anything about ancestry.com. She just came to the family member who knew something about researching records online and asked me. So ancestry.com should be thinking about prospects that they pick up through word-of-mouth, rather than through normal advertising channels.
Once a potential customer knows about ancestry.com as a possible place to go look for information on their ancestors, they should definitely have a chance to try out the service before making any commitments.
I know that ancestry.com offers a free 14-day trial for potential customers. And my cousin could sign up that way. But I have a couple of problems with the typical trial membership.
For starters, my cousin would have to enter credit card information, in order to get her 14-day trial membership. That's just big enough of a barrier to entry to block quite a few people who might otherwise be interested in quickly exploring what ancestry.com has to offer. It's just too much trouble.
Secondly, I'm fairly certain that the trial membership auto-converts into a full membership if you don't explicitly cancel it. Ok, right there, I know I won't recommend it to my cousin. That sort of marketing technique just smacks too much of typical bait-and-switch schemes. Granted, canceling is probably pretty easy. But still, it's something that the prospect has to remember to do, which means that there is risk involved—risk that they end up paying for a membership that they don't want.
The whole mission behind the idea of try-before-you-buy is to make the barrier to entry so low that lots of people can try your product, and do so in the easiest manner possible. You also want to make sure to give them a complete/full product experience, i.e. they should have access to everything that paying members do.
The Proposal
So here's my thought on this. How about we make it easier for potential new customers to try out ancestry.com through a referral system? Here's how it would work:
- I decide to refer my cousin, so I click a button in my account and get a new trial account auto-generated, after entering my cousin's e-mail address
- Ancestry e-mails the login info to my cousin, who logs in
- No credit card information is required
- This subscription does not auto-convert into a payed subscription
- My cousin automatically has access to my family tree, as well as all databases that I pay for
- The account/subscription lasts only for 14-days (or for 5 sessions, or whatever)
- At the end of the trial period
- My cousin's account automatically is locked out
- She automatically gets an e-mail giving her a chance to subscribe "for real"
- If my cousin does sign up at the end of the trial period
- She gets a slight discount
- I get a small kickback, in the form of a discount for next year's renewal
The bottom line? A simple piggyback trial subscription mechanism that would make it very easy to refer other family members and grow the ancestry.com community.
How about it, ancestry.com ?

CBS anchor: 'Big stories wrong, over and over again'
'These have been a bad few months for journalism'
(WEEKLYSTANDARD) — CBS anchor Scott Pelley said at a speech at Quinnipiac University that journalists "are getting big stories wrong, over and over again."
"Our house is on fire," said Pelley. The video of Pelley's speech is courtesy of nowthisnews.com.
"These have been a bad few months for journalism," he added. "We're getting the big stories wrong, over and over again."
The CBS newsreader was quick to take at least partial blame. "Let me take the first arrow: During our coverage of Newtown, I sat on my set and I reported that Nancy Lanza was a teacher at the school. And that her son had attacked her classroom. It's a hell of a story, but it was dead wrong. Now, I was the managing editor, I made the decision to go ahead with that and I did, and that's what I said, and I was absolutely wrong. So let me just take the first arrow here."

Jalaun is a city in Uttar Pradesh state in northern India. The town was formerly the residence of a Maratha governor, but never the headquarters of the district, The HQ. of the District is at Orai, a city on the Kanpur-Jhansi NH25.
In early times Jalaun seems to have been the home of two Rajput clans, the Chandelas in the east and the Kachwahas in the west. The town of Kalpi on the Yamuna was conquered by the armies of Muhammad of Ghor in 1196. Early in the 14th century the Bundelas occupied the greater part of Jalaun, and even succeeded in holding the fortified post of Kalpi. That important possession was soon recovered by the Delhi Sultanate, and passed under the way of the Mughal Empire. Akbar's governors at Kalpi maintained a nominal authority over the surrounding district, and the Bundela chiefs were in a state of chronic revolt, which culminated in the war of independence under Maharaja Chhatrasal. On the outbreak of his rebellion in 1671 he occupied a large province to the south of the Yamuna. Setting out from this base, and assisted by the Marathas, he conquered the whole of Bundelkhand. On his death in 1732 he bequeathed one-third of his dominions to his Maratha allies, who before long succeeded in annexing the whole of Bundelkhand. Under Maratha rule the country was a prey to constant anarchy and strife. To this period must be traced the origin of the poverty and desolation which are still conspicuous throughout the district. In 1806 Kalpi was made over to the British, and in 1840, on the death of Nana Gobind Ras, his possessions lapsed to them also. Various interchanges of territory took place, and in 1856 the boundaries of the British district were substantially settled, with an area of 1477 square miles.
Jalaun was the scene of much violence during the Revolt of 1857. When the news of the rising at Kanpur reached Kalpi, the men of the 53rd Native Infantry deserted their officers, and in June the Jhansi rebels reached the district, and began their murder of Europeans. It was not until September 1858 that the rebels were finally defeated. In the later 19th century, the district suffered much from the invasive kans grass (Saccharum spontaneum), owing to the spread of which many villages were abandoned and their land thrown out of cultivation. The population of the district was 399,726 in 1901, and the two largest towns are Kunch and Kalpi (pop. 10,139 in 1901). The district was traversed by the line of the Indian Midland railway from Jhansi to Kanpur. A small part of it is watered by the Bethwa Canal. Grain, oil-seeds, cotton and ghee were exported.
Dr. Mannan Akhtar is the present District Magistrate of Jalaun

With Surface, Microsoft charts a new path
Yesterday, Microsoft made what may be remembered as one of its most important announcements ever: it announced that it is designing, manufacturing and selling its own tablets.
The tablets, which the Redmond software giant has dubbed Surface, will sport two flavors of Windows 8: Windows 8 RT and Windows 8 Pro.
Dell announces financing program for startups
The global economy may be on the brink of another downturn and Facebook's IPO has some suggesting that it's 'RIP Good Times' all over again, but Dell is betting that high-growth startups are going to need hardware regardless.
Yesterday, it announced a new financing program designed to encourage startups to select Dell products.
What the Apple tablet buzz tells us about...
Later today, Apple is expected to unveil what some believe may be its most important product ever: a tablet computing device.
The Apple tablet has been the subject of speculation for some time and in the lead up to Apple's media event today, the buzz has hit a fever pitch as just about everyone is talking about it. Obviously, the press and blogosphere will have plenty of information to feast on later, but I think the buzz about the Apple tablet is in and of itself worth examining. Why? I think it tells us something about...
23 ways Apple can improve my next iPhone
I purchased two things last year that have improved my world considerably.
The first purchase was the Roland Juno, a synthesiser that is pound for pound the best value for money of anything I've ever bought. It is tremendous fun and all manner of synthy noises and weird Devo-esque sounds. It even has a cowbell. I can't really play it, but I have a lot of fun trying.
The second thing was the delightful Apple iPhone. As you probably know, it is pretty much the best thing since sliced bread. For anybody who runs websites for a living it is a must-have. I've been sleeping more soundly since I bought it...
However, as with most things, there is scope for improvement.
The Web Week in Review
It was an interesting week. As news of the debate over the possible bailout of the United States' struggling automakers captured the headlines and largely dictated the mood in the major financial markets around the world, newspaper titan Tribune Co. filed for bankruptcy and the Pulitzer Prize Board decided to fully embrace online journalism.
The Web Week in Review
The news was dominated by the presidential election in the US this week, but the past five days also saw more volatility in the world's financial markets and more than enough news to go around in the technology industry.
The Web Week in Review
From news that Yahoo and Google might call off their planned search advertising partnership to photos discovered on Facebook revealing Bono's rendezvous with a couple of teenage girls in St. Tropez, there was a bit of drama this week that kept the news interesting.
The Web Week in Review
Admittedly it was difficult to pay attention to all of the news in the technology industry his week - the news in the financial markets more than overshadowed it.
This week's Web Week in Review has to touch on the financial crisis but there were other tech-only stories that did manage to make it onto my radar.
5 wireless network security tips
As my fellow E-consultancy blogger Drama 2.0 discussed earlier this week, the theft of more than 40mn credit and debit card numbers was due to insecure wireless networks.
If you run a wireless network at home or in the office, the same sort of security breach could easily occur if you are not taking advantage of your wireless router's security features.
Data backups - a practical overview
Chances are that if you've worked with computers long enough, you've had the unfortunate experience of losing all of your data due to some sort of malfunction or failure.
The Web Week in Review
This week's news was quite a hodgepodge so without delay, let's end the week with a diverse version of Drama 2.0's The Web Week in Review.
Irish tech etailer targets US
The last few months have seen a number of excess inventory retailers announcing plans to expand from the US into Europe, as they search for new clients and buyers.
However, Luzern Solutions, a Dublin-based firm that sells such goods via eBay, Amazon and ther online marketplaces, is looking to take them on on their own turf by heading over to the US.
The company's head of marketing Jackie Brannigan tells us how the web is shaping up as an overstock sales channel, and one that many manufacturers and retailers are still to exploit fully.

The proliferation of Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) companies in the country is virtually everywhere, even in faraway Mindanáo. But the Commission on Information and Communications Technology (CICT) cited Metro Laguna as the Philippines' next hotbed for BPOs.
Metro Laguna is comprised of La Laguna municipalities and cities that are near Metro Manila: Santa Rosa, Cabuyao, Calambâ, Los Baños, and San Pablo. I'm not sure if San Pedro (where I currently reside) and Biñán are included. But I believe they should be, especially since Biñán is the home of Laguna Technopark, Inc.
Santa Rosa tops the list of Metro Laguna cities and municipalities as the number one place to setup a BPO company; it is being positioned as the center where BPOs and IT companies can run and operate offices, while neighboring cities can supply the skilled workers.
To tap Metro Laguna as the country's next premier business hub for BPOs is a very wise gesture in my opinion. This is because, although being tagged as "Metro", La Laguna is still a province; that would easily help BPO companies to incur more cost-saving strategies (setting up businesses outside Metro Manila is cheaper). Aside from that, its proximity from the country's financial capital (particulary Makati City) could hardly be ignored.
Meanwhile, in the municipality of San Pedro, Mayor Calixto R. Catáquiz is planning to turn a large tract of undeveloped land in his municipality as a BPO hub (as part of his San Pedro Vision 2020 project). The northwestern part of San Pedro is still largely undeveloped and uninhabited. Furthermore, San Pedro's telephone area code is non-provincial, i.e., it has the same area code as that of Metro Manila (02), making it easier for these BPOs' telephony systems to be connected to the metropolis where all major business actions take place.
Let us keep our fingers crossed that more good news like this for our country's BPO workers (collectively known as the nation's Bagong Bayani) will prevail in the newstands.

Chrome-based models accounted for 5 percent to 10 percent of Acer's U.S. shipments since being released there in November, President Jim Wong said in an interview at the Taipei-based company's headquarters. That ratio is expected to be sustainable in the long term and the company is considering offering Chrome models in other developed markets, he said.

Snow plow drivers work all night
Snow plow drivers work all night
WATERLOO, Iowa —
Hungry snow plow drivers who'd been working all night are about the only customers at a diner in downtown Waterloo.
Newton's Paradise Cafe cook Blake Landau says the drivers are feasting on breakfasts, roast beef sandwiches and chili that he made for them.
He says it's a good thing business is slow because the server could not get out of his driveway because of the storm, and so Landau is cooking and waiting tables.
Landau says he's also happy about the snow that is already up to his knees because it is his 27th birthday. He says he's always liked it to snow on his birthday because that typically means Christmas will be a white one.
In fact, he plans to celebrate later Thursday by going sledding with friends.


text: New Focus On End User October 26, 2013 06:15 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Farm Journal Editors Email Targeted investments will boost BASF's regional footprint, says Markus Heldt, president of the crop protection division. Written by Jeanne Bernick and Rhonda Brooks In the crop protection world, the largest chemical company on the planet is looking at the glass half full. BASF is raising the long-term sales target for its crop protection division and now expects it to achieve sales of more than $8.11 billion by 2015 and $10.18 billion by 2020 (previously $8 billion in 2020). That growth will come from more investment in production, and formulation capacities will result in a stronger pipeline for crop protection products that are already in high demand, particularly with weed resistance issues in the U.S. BASF plans to double annual investments in production plants for its Crop Protection division through 2017 and expand its portfolio of solutions for farmers around the world, says Markus Heldt, president of BASF's Crop Protection division. In the U.S., that means additional production capacity in Sparks, Ga., and yet another research and office expansion at its BASF offices in Research Triangle Park, N.C. "The main factors to increase from our current business level is additional capacity, new products from 2010 to 2020, and the increase of our footprint in emerging markets, such as in India, China, Africa and Latin America," Heldt says. With the world market for biological crop protection now worth $1 billion and growing up to 15% annually, BASF hopes to be a player in the growing biological market. A newly established global business unit for BASF called Functional Crop Care will expand the company's portfolio of solutions for growers, adds Jurgen Huff, senior vice president, Functional Crop Care. The business unit was developed on the heels of BASF's purchase of U.S.-based Becker Underwood Inc., which created a major move for the chemical company into biological seed treatments. "You take biologicals and apply conventional crop protection technologies, and we get to a doubling of yields in that role," Huff says. "These technologies belong together. It's not about replacing one for the other. It's about holistically understanding what our customers need." BASF is also putting a greater focus on the end user with more field experts/innovation specialists and new apps and data offerings. "We want our current customers to have a better experience, but also for new customers to have a better experience," says Kaleb Hellwig, BASF Innovation Specialist based in western Missouri. "I deal with large farmers who are producing millions of bushels of corn and soybeans and who have to make multimillion dollar decisions each week. They need resources and tools to make key decisions quickly." Next spring, BASF will test portable microscopes so that farmers can take special pictures of diseases and insects in their fields and send the photos to their innovation specialists and agronomist for diagnosis and treatment advice. An online library also helps farmers better understand what's going on in their fields. Back to news
