I erased the USB storage on my Sony Tablet S (Android) and now I can't play anything in Google Chrome because it says that I need an Adobe Flash update. Can anyone help me with this error message I'm getting? Running Android 4.0.3.
try Dalsan suggestion or you can try factory reset (do backup files first)
Google Chrome mobile does not support Flash. If you wish to install the Flash Player, you can go to the Adobe Forums and follow the instructions there. This would give you a reputable place to download the necessary file instead of another website that may or may not be safe.
Firefox, Maxthon, and many other web browsers supports Flash and HTML5. Chrome Mobile, however, supports HTML5, not Flash.
It was a file that some chinese guy had on my tablet that made the videos play but when I erased the usb storage I forgot to back up my files and lost everything and I wasn't even signed in so I couldn't restore it.
If you want to use Chrome mobile and have flash capability, it won't happen directly. You can use Flashify (formerly Another Browser), as seen here: http://www.androidcentral.com/another-browser-lends-hand-when-chrome-hits-adobe-flash-roadblock. It opens flash content in another flash compatible browser that you have installed, though there are a few steps you have to take in order to view flash content. I don't know of any other way other than other apps that have browser jumping capabilities, or just using a flash compatible browser.

File photo MANILA, Philippines - A newbie Kapamilya actor who has openly expressed his admiration for actress Kathryn Bernardo finally had the chance to meet the "Princess and I" star. Bernardo made the confirmation to ABS-CBN News, saying that "Aryana" actor Dominic Roque introduced himself to her during a production number last week. "Nagka-prod kami last week with 'Aryana,' with 'Be Careful With My Heart,' parang may isang cast prod tapos nag 'hi,' nagpakilala siya. Officially parang nagpakilala siya," Bernardo said. As early as now, Bernardo said she is not open to the idea of entertaining Roque as a suitor should he decide to court her. "Dumaan muna siya kay Mama," said the 16-year-old actress, who stressed that work is currently her top priority. During a guest appearance on "Kris TV" last August, Bernardo denied that Roque is courting her. "Hindi talaga, hindi po. Hindi pa nga kami formally nagkakakilala," she said. Currently, Bernardo is busy taping for her hit series "Princess and I" with Daniel Padilla, who is also being romantically linked to her.

10 Tips for khow before buy HD CAMCORDER
If you want to buy HD CAMCORDER,You should khow tip for use hd camcorder.
I collect and publish best tip for you.
1. All HD camcorder looks very good. Each of the last HD camcorder we've seen in all seven, with kick-ass video, almost as good as what you see on many cable systems or satellite networks. But it seems so clean and sharp as Blu-ray or HD-DVD.
2. Do you know what you want to do with the camera. Maybe HD is high. If you want to download videos on YouTube, the best way is to make the video capabilities of a Point-n-Shoot camera use.
3. High definition camcorders are easier to use when you connect directly to an HDTV via HDMI. Almost all camcorders have HDMI output, it is easy to connect your camcorder to your TV easy and use the supplied remote. In fact, you feel like that's what the camera companies would rather you do it, because the editing software is supplied with each camera is almost useless, which brings us to number 4.
4. AVCHD be cumbersome. Many devices use the newer AVCHD high compression, a variant of H.264 in Blu-ray and HD DVD uses. Cutting material first HDV cameras is simple because it is a mature HDTV video has been three or four years. AVCHD is quite different, new and heavier. While many editing software packages now support AVCHD, it remains a rather awkward to move from your camcorder to your PC.
5. If you are editing HD video, including AVCHD, a PC or Mac mofo. Imagine you can create a dual-processor machine with eight cores, so you swing. It is better than a powerful PC you can, because the large file size and compression work led the team to face are enormous and have a spectacular amount of power when you can not tolerate long waiting times for the representation 6.
6. Where are you going to distribute videos from your HD camcorder? (In other words disappeared, that the grandmother to see their masterpieces?) With HD, the days of readers are in your videos. After the installation is not as easy as lying on a VHS tape or DVD that can play the grandmother in the living room. HD movies run well on a Blu-ray, but the burner or player yet? .
7. Decide whether you want a video recording device to the hard disk, flash memory card, DVD, HDV tape or Blu-ray. A hard disk stores more images, but larger and more sensitive than Flash. But a 4GB flash card stores 40 minutes of images. Recording on DVD and Blu-ray includes both the spinning removable media, which seems anachronistic, but his images can now be played in many Blu-ray. Then there is the HDV-DV tape, the good results, but it seems so, uh, analog.
8. The prices are reasonable. The best HD camcorder I've seen the Panasonic HDC-SD1 will cost about $ 800. You will be surprised how prices are down with high-definition video cameras. Since it is not entirely new, you may be able to find a better offer, even in this Panny SD1 on Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving.
9. The complete video cameras that collect the dust into a closet shelf. Be realistic. It will really be a lot of video? Evaluate carefully whether you really intend to use a camera frequently or occasionally. I also think that if someone can not like to see their videos in high definition to change the time nor the patience. If you have a special event, consider borrowing or renting a video camera to lose all your money be used at the end as a shelf product at a cheap substitute for only one or two times.
10. Learn to get over some reviews of the latest HD cameras from the land lay. Info and video camera into the camera over the year, the Canon HV20, one high-definition model of the old tapes with DV and HDV Timey documents. We found the video camera spectacular, with very little motion artifacts. It is too good to be able to output in the good old DV recording no more later .

The Loop: Doing the postcode lottery
Welcome to The Loop, the Magazine's weekly letters column, including the best of your thoughts from Twitter and Facebook.
The Magazine's most-read story this week was Vibeke Venema's story of Arunachalam Muruganantham from India who has revolutionised menstrual health for rural women in developing countries by inventing a simple machine to manufacture cheap sanitary pads. The Magazine's Facebook page featured numerous messages saluting his endurance and perseverance.
On Twitter, journalist Caitlin Moran tweeted: "In other news, the greatest male feminist on the planet has been found (via @heawood). SANITARY TOWEL KING"
"I just want to fly to India now and carry him around on my shoulders, like a god," Moran tweeted again.
Janice Turner described Arunachalam as a "world-changing" guy. She was referring to the "huge number of girls who leave education once they start menstruating", who will no doubt feel the benefits of his invention.
We also featured the postcode battlers, those folk who want to swap their postcode in an attempt to big up the area their live in. Some campaign for change "with a separatist zeal that mirrors the decades-long crusade for Scottish independence," wrote Jon Kelly.
Andrew Graham described it as "snobbery at its absolute worst".
"All of these people must have a ridiculous amount of time on their hands to care about what postcode they have. They all want to move to postcodes for areas they consider better than theirs in the hope it might add ten grand to their house value, if they spent as much time improving their own area than worrying about their address there would be no need to change."
Helen Rees says that she lives in rural Mid Wales but "laughingly" has a Shropshire postcode, which she shares with five other properties some distance away.
Ant G tweeted that "Warwickshire has no prefix of its own, all CV (Coventry) from adjacent county. This is Bucket/bouquet turf."
In our highly competitive world, we prize success and hate it when things go wrong, but is there actually a value in failing, asked Lucy Wallis in her feature, Is it good for people to fail occasionally?
rrrrr (@ronixact) tweeted: "Better still 2 visualise failure & plan 2 avoid #chrishadfield talks abt this in his astronaut training." Chris Hadfield, of course, became known as the singing spaceman after his version of David Bowie's Space Oddity - from the International Space Station - went viral on the internet.
"You fail your way to success," says Andrew Clarke knowledgeably. "There was a chap who started a car company, it failed. He started a 2nd one and it went bad on him. His 3rd company did rather well, you may have heard of him, Henry Ford."
Finally, the march of the hipsters carries on apace. Having reclaimed the bushy beard and the waxed moustache in the name of fashion, it seems that the monocle may be next. According to Denise Winterman, the ocular aid may be on the verge of a comeback, having been out of fashion since World War One. Clearly our readers are also early adopters - Heinrich M Buquia on Facebook, for instance was quick to see the potential for hipsters: "I want a Google monocle".

MONTPELIER- Despite less than ideal weather conditions, the pre-game Homecoming activities went on as planned at Montpelier on Friday, September 30.
The night's events began at 6:00 pm as the parade left from the Montpelier pool. Led by the Montpelier Police and MHS Band, each attendant, queen candidate, as well as 2015 Homecoming Queen Hannah Blake, along with a group from each high school grade, and also the cheerleaders, passed by the entrance to the football stadium where onlookers greeted them. Finally the participants arrived at their destination, the south end of the football stadium.
Now the moment had arrived, the entrance by each attendant and queen candidate, along with their escorts who were all members of the football team. Although precipitation was falling, each trio, beginning with the freshmen class, marched in down the 50 yard line from the visitor's side of the field. Freshmen included attendant Emma Clair and escorts Chandler Byers and Connor Yahraus. The sophomore class was represented by Maya Taylor, who was accompanied by Andrew Frisby and Bryer Bentley. Katie Scott, the Junior Attendant was walked in by classmates Jaden Vantog and Kolden Uribes. The first queen candidate, McKenna Quaderer, strolled down the field in the arms of CJ Roth and Nick Beuhrer. Meili Leung, the second queen hopeful, was escorted by Michael Blake and Bryce Cooley. The final senior seeking crowning, Misheala Robertson, walked down midfield with Caleb Haines and Zac Mason. The reigning Queen, Hannah Blake, made her final entrance with Colin Rockey and Jared Armstrong.
With great anticipation those in attendance waited for the announcement. "The 2016 Montpelier Homecoming Queen is Meili Leung." A huge smile was evident on the new queen's face as Miss Blake placed the crown on Queen Leung's head.
Although a steady rain continued for most of the first half, ultimately resulting in a cancellation of the halftime band show, it was a great first day of Queen Leung's reign. The plethora of umbrellas closed as the skies dried for the second half and the host Locomotives shut down the Ottawa Hills offense in route to a 20-2 victory!

June 11, 2015 01:44 PM
By Ghassan Riachi
In 1987, the Saudi Arabia Directorate General of Posts issued two commemorative stamps to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the General Petroleum and Mineral Organization, known as Petromin (Scott 1042-1043).
The government wanted to acknowledge Petromin's contributions to the nation and its success in the area of petroleum and mineral products.
The stamps are denominated 50 halalas and 100h. In the 2015 Scott Standard Postage Stamp Catalogue, a mint never-hinged set, in the grade of very fine, is valued at $2.70, and a used set at $1.25.
According to the Scott Standard stamp catalog and other stamp catalogs, the stamps were issued Feb. 23, 1987. However, the Directorate General of Post's official bilingual leaflet about these stamps gives the Hijri calendar date of 25/6/1407, which is equivalent to Feb. 25, 1987, in the Gregorian calendar. The following website was used for the date conversion: www.oriold.uzh.ch/static/hegira.html.
The Government Security Printing Press in Riyadh printed the stamps on white unwatermarked paper in sheets of 50 stamps and four labels. The sheet size is six rows by nine columns. The quantity printed was 800,000 sets.
The stamps are square and perforated gauge 12.
The two stamps share the same design featuring an oil derrick in the center with a flame coming out at the top. To the left and right of the derrick are petroleum and gas tanks.
Petromin's logo in Arabic and black-and-white is shown underneath the derrick and tanks. The logo also is repeated around the main design, forming a frame.
In the top-right corner is the Saudi national emblem of a palm tree above two crossed swords. In the top-left corner is year "1407" in Arabic and the year "1987" in English (actually the "1" is shared by both years).
At the bottom center is the Arabic equivalent for "the passing of 25 years of the founding of Petromin." This text is flanked by the denomination and currency, Arabic at right and English at left.
Both stamps are multicolor. It appears that the only color difference between the two denominations is that the sky is orange on the 50h stamp and blue on the 100h.
According to the leaflet, the government of Saudi Arabia formed the General Petroleum and Mineral Organization by royal decree No. 25 dated 25/6/1382 (Nov. 23, 1962).
The main purpose of this company was to manufacture lubricants because, after all, Saudi Arabia was one of the top oil-producing countries.
Oil is the main ingredient for lubricants, and the government wanted to make sure it established a company exclusively for making these lubricants for the Saudi market.
These products were necessary for the development of the kingdom.
The first plant was established in Jeddah in 1970. Because Saudi Arabia was such a vast country, it became clear that two plants were needed in order to satisfy its market requirements, so a second plant opened in Riyadh in 1982.
Over the years, numerous international corporations, including Mobil, Gulf and Total, used Petromin lubricant oils to blend their products.
This is a great topical set for those who collect oil themes on stamps.

EASTON, Pa. – First it was boobies, now it's condoms.
The Easton Area School Board recently lost a three year legal battle after district administrators attempted to ban students from wearing "I ♥ Boobies" cancer awareness bracelets, and was forced to pay nearly a half million in legal fees.
Now the board is reviewing its policy on school advertising, and seem dumbfounded over whether or not to allow condom companies to advertise at the district's schools.
At a meeting Tuesday, board members reviewed a recommended policy that would restrict lewd, vulgar, obscene, pornographic or illegal ads, but board member Matt Monahon questioned where condoms fit into the equation, LehighValleyLive.com reports.
"If I were in Trojan's shoes I would say my product is neither lewd nor obscene nor vulgar nor pornographic," Monahon said before suggesting the proposed policy also include a ban on ads "of a sexual nature," according to the news site.
"I'm not trying to cause problems. I just want to make sure we're no leaving these things open," he said.
Monahon's concern likely stems from the "I ♥ Boobies" debacle. School officials banned the bracelets on the grounds that they were offensive, but the courts disagreed and sided with two girls who sued the district over their suspension for promoting breast cancer awareness.
The three-year legal saga concluded recently with the district on the hook for $385,000 in legal fees incurred by the girls, who were represented by the American Civil Liberties Union, as well as another $110,000 for its own legal expenses.
During Tuesday's condom debate, school officials acknowledged that some of the district's high schools distribute condoms to students, which obviously further erodes their losing argument that boobies are offensive.
Board president Frank Pintabone argued that condom ads aren't offensive, and teen sex is just a part of school.
"It's a reality of life," he said, according to the news site. "Do you know how many students we have pregnant?"
Monahon said, "there are parents within the district who wouldn't want this advertised to their children."
Board member Robert Obey suggested the superintendent should have discretion over ads, but district solicitor John Freund alluded that the boobie debacle taught school officials that discretion isn't always the best policy.
The boobie bracelet lawsuit was filed when an administrator used his discretion to prohibit them on school grounds, and centered on the offending girls' First Amendment rights.
"Our discretion means nothing under the First Amendment," Monahon grumbled.
Board members ultimately decided to push off their discussion about the district advertising policy until their next meeting.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Bank of America's board of directors chose consumer banking chief Brian Moynihan to replace Ken Lewis as CEO on Jan. 1.
Their pick of an internal candidate on Wednesday followed unsuccessful attempts to hire a star industry executive for the top job at the nation's largest bank. Those negotiations were stymied by restrictions imposed by government pay czar Kenneth Feinberg that would have forced an outsider to take a big pay cut this year.
The move "draws to a close what is probably the executive search from hell," said Tony Plath, a finance professor at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. "They needed to find someone to end the drama so that the bank can get back to regular business, but at the same time I am surprised by their choice."
Moynihan, 50, joined the Charlotte, N.C.-based bank as part of its 2004 purchase of FleetBoston Financial Corp. Over the past year he has served as BofA general counsel, head of global wealth management and consumer bank chief.
"I am honored to have the opportunity to lead this important company," Moynihan said in a statement. "We have everything we need at Bank of America to be the best financial services company in the world. What we need to do now is very simple. We need to execute."
The new CEO faces many daunting tasks. He must juggle regulatory investigations into the bank's 2008 acquisition of Merrill Lynch while trying to repair relationship with regulators and members of Congress who sharply criticized Lewis after the bank required $45 billion of federal bailout loans to prevent its failure.
"Brian's wide range of experience, his relationships inside and outside of the company, and his demonstrated ability to understand business dynamics and effect constructive change made him the best person for the position," said Dr. Walter E. Massey, chairman of Bank of America, who led the CEO search.
Moynihan also will join the bank's board of directors.
Lewis, 62, announced his departure in September in a move that surprised Bank of America's board and left it scrambling for a replacement with no clear succession plan in place. Before then, Lewis had promised he would remain as CEO until the bank cleared up its financial problems.
One thing Moynihan doesn't have to worry about is repaying the government loans. The bank received $25 billion from the government's Troubled Asset Relief Program, or TARP, as part of the initial round of investments into hundreds of financial institutions when the credit crisis peaked last fall. It then received an additional $20 billion shortly after it acquired Merrill Lynch in what was a heavily scrutinized deal.
Bank of America repaid the money it received from TARP on Dec. 8. That freed the bank from the government restrictions that had hampered its search for a new CEO, including executive pay limitations. However, its negotiations with outside candidates continued to falter.
Bank of New York Mellon Corp.'s CEO Robert Kelly told employees Monday that he wasn't going anywhere, leaving BofA with one less candidate for its top job. Media reports had listed Kelly among the top choices to lead the bank.
Other candidates reportedly had included: Bob Diamond, president of British bank Barclays PLC; Larry Fink, CEO of asset manager BlackRock Inc.; and New Jersey Gov. Jon Corzine, a former Goldman Sachs chairman and CEO.
Massey said Wednesday that while the bank did consider external candidates, the board decided that Moynihan's experience was as good or better, "and he offered the advantage of a smooth transition."
By picking someone from within, "you express an ability to create a culture that can produce leaders and that's very important," said Keith Springer, president of Sacramento, Calif.-based Capital Financial Advisory Services, which owns financial stocks.
"It's important for these companies to show they have longevity," he said. "And if you can't breed leaders, then you can't survive."

The new version of "Psycho" is the latest example, but the scenario has happened many times before.
It goes like this. A new Hollywood movie is heading our way, and advertisements have been trumpeting its praises for weeks. But audiences know that a good promotional campaign doesn't equal a good movie, so on opening day they pick up a newspaper or tune in a broadcast to find out what the critics think. And the critics don't think anything at all, for the excellent reason that they haven't seen the picture, which wasn't previewed by its studio on the theory that no reviews are preferable to the bad reviews it's expected to receive.
This doesn't happen every month, but it seems to be occurring more often than it used to. A recent instance is "The Avengers," a big-budget romp with major stars and stylish characters drawn from a popular TV show. It promised to be a sure-fire conversation piece, at the least, yet Warner Bros. refused to screen it in advance, apparently hoping to keep its failings a secret until the last moment.
But critics eagerly told their readers, viewers, and listeners all about the no-preview policy, a sure sign that the movie's own makers considered it a loser. The critics then bore out their own prophecy, making a beeline for the first public showing and panning the picture with uncommon enthusiasm.
The story of the new "Psycho" is slightly more complicated, since Universal spread the word that Alfred Hitchcock refused to preview the original version before its 1960 premire.
Like most excuses, however, this one is less than convincing. It's true Hitchcock orchestrated the premire of "Psycho" with exquisite precision, and it's true he kept the picture's content a secret so he could spring it on the public with maximum impact. But he was releasing a movie that held extraordinary, unprecedented surprises, including a historymaking scene that killed off the main character with shocking abruptness less than halfway through the story.
The new version doesn't hold any such novelties, precisely because almost every moviegoer has seen, or partly seen, or at least heard about the original.
If the executives at Universal thought they had a similar success on their hands, they would surely have previewed the daylights out of it, if only to gather blurbs for the "quote ads" that have become a woefully predictable part of marketing movies. The fact that they hid the picture speaks volumes about their confidence in it.
Those executives could be mistaken, of course, turning their backs on a movie that's better or more challenging or daring or innovative than they're capable of recognizing.
But sad to say, that's not the case with the new "Psycho." It's so slavishly similar to its predecessor - right down to the symbolic lettering on Marion's license plates - that there's little to spark fresh discussion except the acting. Here the news is mixed.
Anne Heche and Viggo Mortensen are adequate as Marion and her boyfriend, but Vince Vaughn doesn't have a shred of Anthony Perkins's demented magnetism. The best work comes from William H. Macy as the detective and Julianne Moore as Marion's feisty sister.
In the end, it's hard to imagine why a smart and savvy filmmaker like Gus Van Sant would want to "re-create" this classic in the first place. There's nothing wrong with remaking a masterpiece if the goal is to put the story in a new context, a different time and place, exploring its relevance to new social and historical circumstances. Regrettably, the new "Psycho" doesn't attempt anything so ambitious.
Its occasional changes or additions, including more sexual explicitness attached to Norman's voyeurism, point less to Van Sant's inventiveness than to the diminished subtlety of Hollywood cinema. On this point, it's worth remembering that Hitchcock once claimed he filmed "Psycho" in black-and-white because a single shot in the picture, showing blood swirling down a drain, would have been too disgusting in color. The remake serves up buckets-full of bright red liquid, suggesting that disgust has become just another tool for imagination-starved studios.

An algebra class at the High School for Health Professions and Human Services in Manhattan is for students who failed ninth-grade math. But this time around, they have help from computer software called Cognitive Tutor.
The program uses so-called artificial intelligence, and it's tailored to each individual.
"It figures out what the student's skills are and how the students understand particular problems based on what the student puts into the computer," teacher Kristi Cookson said.
One senior used it last year, then passed the class and the regents math test.
"It was fun," Shernet Stone said. "I enjoyed it. I know, it's a surprise, math, enjoyment, don't really go together. But I enjoyed it."
Research shows that students who use the Cognitive Tutor software improved their learning by as much as one letter grade.
It works because it guides the students, step by step. They know immediately if an answer is wrong. When they don't know what to do next, they can click on "hint" for guidance.
A bar chart measures the skills they've mastered. It turns from green to gold as they progress.
"When you excel, it shows," student Felix Davila said. "It gives you more courage to continue on."
In 2006, before the program, only 20 percent of students repeating 9th grade math passed.
"June 2007, the percentage rate went up to 52 percent," assistant principal for mathematics Jeanette Tomasullo-Morelli said. "Tremendous."
The school hopes to use the software for higher math courses in coming years.

Quick Reference
An influential evangelical network whose activity in the early 19th cent. found a base in Clapham. The name was popularized and perhaps coined by Sir James Stephen in the Edinburgh Review (1844). The banker Henry Thornton (1760–1815) provided the Clapham core but the 'sect's' dominant figure, their kinsman William Wilberforce, also lived there (1797–1808). The original group, ranging from Granville Sharp, the oldest, to Thomas Clarkson, the last survivor, provided some 60 years of public service. Their greatest victories were the abolition of the slave trade (1807) and of slavery itself in the British empire (1833).

I am excited to link up again with Pawsitively Teaching and Inspired Owl's Corner to share a few of my favorite pins that you can add to your boards too. I love classroom organization pins, and honestly, I think you can use them any time of year.
This pin has 40 organizational ideas included in it, and from those 40 ideas, I think this command center is my top idea. I honestly need that in my kitchen! The idea can be copied without much trouble with a $13.00 oil pan from the automotive section of Walmart.
I made a focus wall in a similar fashion for my room last year. All you have to do is block off sections for the content you want, adhere magnets to the backs of your posters and such, and add them to it. Hot glue to your wall, and you're set!
I hope you found a *few* new ideas with that last one, but if you didn't, you might like this one. I expect you'll be heading to Lowe's or Home Depot later this weekend! Chalkboard and whiteboard paints are just so cool! I love the idea of using these to repurpose your hum-drum tables to make them the perfect "anchor chart",
Guess what?? I'm not stopping with just tables covered in whiteboard paint though. How about using magnetic paint, and even regular paint can be used on bulletin boards in place of faded butcher paper. You can also use scrapbooking papers to add pizzazz. Ah...who comes up with these ideas? Love them!

Ah...who comes up with these ideas? Love them!
So we've talked organization and repurposing, but another favorite Back to School thing I enjoy is thinking of all the ways I can use things from the Dollar Tree. I will end with some of the pins I found that have truly useful ideas. The first were these awesome storage containers. They just happen to be the perfect size for task cards and playing cards. I love that the lids have to "snap" closures, and the set I got was 3 of them for $1.00. A STEAL!
This clever idea is demonstrated with math practice, but I can see using little photo albums with task cards to make distribution quick and easy. Really, anything you'd use a dry erase pen to answer could be placed in one. For kinders, you might put in name practice or letter formation cards.
As a reading specialist, I will always purchase cookie sheets and magnetic letters. Magnetic letters can be hit or miss there, but I did see some at the start of the year here. There are so many great word building activities that can be done with magnetic letters and a cookie sheet. You can even stick magnet tape on the back of printed gameboards to give the cookie tray pizzazz, and like the tables, spray paint can be used on them too.
For more organizational classroom ideas, check out my Classroom Ideas board on Pinterest.I hope you got a few ideas today, but if not, page down. There will be a TON more to look at today. Thanks so much for dropping by and just think...one more day! I'll get you started with tomorrow's face. :-)
Until next time...

What is Dialogue?
There would seem to be an obvious answer to this question – surely dialogue is talk between two or more people! But it can be argued that 'dialogic' talk has some key properties. Here the Greek root 'dia-' means 'through', or 'across' (not two) and the word dialogic can be translated as meaning 'reason across difference'. The participants in a dialogue genuinely seek to understand each other's ideas and to see their own ideas from the perspective of the other. The ideas are allowed to play around each other sparking new ideas and alternative perspectives. The participants are engaged in a shared chain of thinking – they are 'thinking together'.
This blog post explores these ideas in a little more detail.
Why is Dialogue Important in Schools?
Quality dialogue is an essential medium for developing educational outcomes, and is a profoundly important educational outcome in its own right.
In our book 'Dialogic Education: Mastering core concepts through thinking together', Professor Rupert Wegerif and I show how dialogue is essential to the mastery of core concepts that underpin progress across the curriculum. (You can find resources linked to the book here).
In this blog post I draw on the work of Gert Biesta and the Cambridge Primary Review to argue that dialogue is central to a wide range of educational aims. Ultimately being able to engage in dialogue – to reason across difference – is a fundamental life skill.
But there is much evidence to suggest that most of the talk observed in schools (and other settings) falls short of dialogue and is not a productive medium for learning or understanding different perspectives.
This is why it is important that we not only teach through the medium of dialogue, but that we also teach for dialogue as an endpoint in itself.
What are the 4Cs?
The 4Cs provide a framework that allows teachers and children to work collaboratively to develop and work towards a shared vision of 'quality dialogue'. The framework was originally developed by the founder of P4C, Matthew Lipman in the USA, and was augmented by Roger Sutcliffe in the UK. It takes 'good dialogue' or 'good thinking' to involve four inter-related modes: Caring Thinking, Collaborative Thinking, Critical Thinking and Creative Thinking.
The 4Cs are explored in more detail in this blog post.
What Evidence is there that the Approach Works?
4Cs dialogue combines approaches from Philosophy for Children (P4C) and Thinking Together. This report by the Education Endowment Foundation explores the impact of P4C on reading and maths at KS2. The Thinking Together approach, developed by Professor Rupert Wegerif, Professor Neil Mercer and Dr Lyn Dawes, has been extensively evaluated. See, for example, Littleton, K., & Mercer, N. (2013). Interthinking: putting talk to work. Routledge.
What CPD and Support is Available?
Bespoke support is available; please contact me to discuss details. Standard packages of CPD are listed below.
Introductory Sessions (60 – 90 mins)
These sessions introduce the 4Cs and their use in the classroom to create an environment in which dialogue can flourish. An overview of the application of dialogue to some educational aims, including conceptual mastery, is given.
Standard price £275
Full Day Courses
These courses include:
- a detailed introduction to the 4Cs and their use in the classroom to develop quality dialogue;
- examples of 'talk tasks' that can be used to support groups of children to develop their understanding of core concepts through dialogue;
- examples of how units of work can be adapted according to five principles of dialogic education to engage children and to help them to master core concepts;
- guidelines for the facilitation of richer whole-class dialogue;
- examples of how dialogue can support wider educational outcomes such as helping children to play an active part in local, national and global communities and to develop their own sense of autonomy.
Standard price £500 or £750 with a follow-up day of support and consultancy
Please contact me if you would like to book a course or if you would be interested in hosting an open course in your school.

Garage Door Repair

We generally think of storage opportunities from the surface, but several homeowners have obtained a bit more place by turning garages into rooms, and a bunch of creative manufacturers and architects have sometimes changed present garages or introduced the garage door aesthetic to old-fashioned rooms. Sectional gates open vertically and thus produce more room facing and behind the door. The door portions are parked smooth underneath the roof, vertically over the starting or in line with the roof. Sectional opportunities, made of material, steel/aluminium mix or aluminium, are collection aside by the plan range, prime door style and licensed security. When it comes to storage opportunities, we just provide the best! Under you will discover a selection of residential storage opportunities with a wide range of styles. Most of our garage door operators are built with the touring generator get system. That makes them especially clean operating and durable. The generator monitor carriage moves itself along a permanently tensioned sequence to ensure that no frictional reduction and number lack of energy occurs as does with a spinning chain.

At a time when musicians view their music videos as staid metaphors for individuality, loud, outlandish fashion statements and moving art pieces, it seems lazy to watch one without dissecting everything we see. So when a punk band puts out a video that includes a child with a mushroom for a head, there has to be some deep and philosophical message they're trying to send up, right?
But that's not the case with Peelander Z, a Japanese punk foursome based in New York -- and self-proclaimed natives of the "Z region" Planet Peelander. In their latest video for "Ride on the Shooting Star," what you see is what you get -- and what you see is pure, unadulterated mayhem.
From the looks of it, a denizen of Peelander finds himself in New York City, and chaos ensues when he tries to kill the other members of Peelander-Z. It's all appropriately zany for the foursome -- composed of Peelander Yellow, Peelander Green, Peelander Black and Peelander Pink -- as their onstage antics reportedly include human bowling and piggyback rides.
To make sense of it all we asked frontman Peelander Yellow for an explanation behind the clip, the latest off of their album Metalander-Z.
"Bad boy Peelander-Purple came far away from Planet Earth by chance!!! He will try to kill us, but we, Peelander-Z, want to be friend of him," he explained to Hive via email. "Finally, Purple is our new member!!! Don't worry about Purple, he never bite youuuuuu!!!
While the guys describe themselves as punk, they "try to make [a] new style each album -- simple punk album, kids album, space album." So for their latest project, they're tackling metal, which according to Peelander Yellow, just means "change our hair more longer, get skinny pants and bandana."
But just because their fashion may change, they still are, after all, the same crazy kids they were before.
"But our soul is not change. We are Peelander-Z," he said. "OK, let's go to get shooting star and ride on it!!"
Metalander-Z is out now on Peelander-Z/Chicken Ranch Records.

Prediction: CIN 27, CLE 10
Satuday Update: Benson had a full day again on Friday and should have a big game this week. Jamal Lewis is not going to play this week and James Davis continues to nurse a shoulder injury though he may get some playing time. Harrison is in line for a big jump in production this week.
Friday Update: Cedric Benson was held out of practice on Wednesday to rest a sore knee but had a full day on Thursday and remains on track to have a great game.
Jamal Lewis has not practiced and isn't expected to play. Jerome Harrison remains in line to start.
This game doesn't seem nearly as much fun when both teams would stumble in at 0-3 and we could watch two offense duke it out without any defenses to get in the way. But the Bengals are gaining undeniable respectability while the Browns spend each week in an interpretative dance that describes the demolition of a building. These are not two teams headed in different directions. The Browns are already at the bottom and are just twiddling their thumbs while they go nowhere.
These divisional rivals traded road wins. The Bengals won 14-0 in Cleveland in week 16 while the Browns won 20-12 in Cincinnati in week 4.
Quarterback: Carson Palmer hasn't lit up the skies with a lot of passes so far but the oddity is that he hasn't had the need. Last week he threw for 183 yards and a score against the Steelers with no turnovers and only two sacks allowed. He's allowed the rushing game and defense to win games so far and that's just all new territory for Palmer.
Palmer missed both meetings last season with the Browns, Ryan Fitzpatrick was the starter and threw a touchdown in each game but had minimal passing yardage.
The Browns have allowed one passing score per opponent and that should hold true again this week. The passing yardage will be there for the taking as well but with a likely success running the ball, Palmer won't need to air it out much. The Browns are reeling from their losses and may not put up much fight here.
Running Backs: See Cedric Benson go. Go, Cedric, Go.
And go he does. Even against the Steelers he had 76 yards on 16 carries for one rushing touchdown. He's played as a solid RB1 every week so far and exceeded all expectations besides his friends that told him "hold out on the Bears, bro. You are da man". Benson is the man now, it just took a bad summer and trip to Cincinnati to get there. Even more amazing in this "divide by two" backfield world of the NFL, Benson never shares. Remember Bernard Scott the rookie that some assumed would somehow take over the job from Benson? One carry for a six yard loss so far. That's all.
Benson wasn't with the Bengals in the home meeting with the Browns but late in the 2008 season, Benson rushed 38 times for 171 yards in Cleveland. It was easily his best game of the year.
The Browns allowed Adrian Peterson 180 yards and three scores in week one. Denver ran for 172 yards and two scores. The Ravens had 127 rushing yards and three touchdowns. Figure on Benson making a really sweet start this week. He is for real and the Browns defense is not.
Wide Receivers: Chad OchoCinco has yet to have a really big game but has been no worse than a solid fantasy play each week. He only had five catches for 54 yards against the Steelers for his season low but turned in around 90 yards in the other two games. Laveranues Coles is getting more familiar with Palmer now had had five catches for 34 yards last week. Andre Caldwell led the wideouts with six receptions for 54 yards and a score because the #3 receiver doesn't draw the top two cornerbacks from the Steelers.
No reason why this should have a huge game for a wideout here unless someone turns in a really long pass completion. OchoCinco remains the only attractive start and should end up with a touchdown.
Tight Ends: Daniel Coats has no real fantasy value.
Pregame Notes: Overall, this season could have started out better. This week was supposed to be the only soft spot in the first half of the season and now even that looks like a lost cause with the Bengals much improved. The schedule is murderous, the quarterbacks are changing and HC Eric Mangini has inherited a nightmare. Let me be the first to say it - could we be looking at another 0-16 team? The next likely game that could be competitive is now in week 16 when the Raiders show up.
Quarterback: Brady Quinn was benched last week after throwing six of eight for 34 yards and one interception by halftime. Derek Anderson responded with 11 of 19 for 92 yards against the Ravens but had three interceptions. HC Eric Mangini will name a starter mid-week but it has no bearing on fantasy football.
Brady never started a game against the Bengals last year. Derrick Anderson had 138 yards and a score in Cincinnati.
The Bengals have allowed one passing score per opponent and that fits into what the Browns are able to produce. This will be the weakest secondary that the Browns have faced but only marginally. I will assume Quinn starts since he is the only quarterback with actual talent to be a starter but will update it if the Browns leave their senses again.
Running Backs: Jamal Lewis missed last week with a bad hamstring and I will count him out for now and assume that James Harrison takes the start. it was Harrison who had some success last week when he rushed for 52 yards on 16 carries and added 33 yards on five receptions. He clearly outplayed James Davis who was limited to only ten yards on five runs. That makes Harrison a decent bye week cover for Sunday in a reception points league.
One of the bigger surprises this year is the success of the Bengals rushing defense that has only allowed one runner to score and kept all but Willie Parker below 50 rushing yards. Look for just a moderate game by Harrison but a good chance that he will add in receptions for an acceptable fantasy score this week
Wide Receivers: This has already been a wasteland for fantasy relevance and the switching of quarterbacks is not likely to improve matter since both have already proven who they are and what they can do. Switching Anderson and Brady around is just a sign that the coaches want to look like they are still trying to win. The only possible glint of light here is that Derek Anderson tends to throw the deeper passes that favor Braylon Edwards more but it meant nothing last week when Edwards finished with 35 yards on five catches.
The Bengals have been very good against the pass and these guys are too unreliable to consider for a fantasy start this week. Edwards could catch a long pass if Anderson plays but then again - it would be a rarity.
Tight Ends: Robert Royal opened the year with a big game but had just one catch in the next two matchups - both on the road. I am awarding Royal with the lone passing score on the premise he is one of the common tight ends that show up only in home games. He's an obvious risk but so are all the others on this team.

WRITER APPLICATIONS DUE by MARCH 10th at 11:59 PM
NOTIFICATIONS on or before MARCH 13th
Patrick's Cabaret is seeking writers of various backgrounds to participate in a new Twin Cities flash theater tradition called Lightning Rod. The production will assemble a diverse team of artists to collaborate with only a few days to create works that respond to the current week's events. We're mixing the pot; both as a generative practice and a community involvement exercise. Come play a theater game, with serious consequences.
Sunday April 9th – Community Gathering. Between 1:00 PM and 5:00 PM for auditions, group devising time, orientation, and rehearsal schedule set and other logistical negotiations. Refreshments and breaks provided.
Monday, April 10th – Concepting shows, writing. Write a 20-25 minute long piece with minimal prop and costume requirements, following the parameters and challenges set before you on orientation day. Parameters will include—but may not be limited to— prompts, specific news headlines, the performers assigned to you, any other prompt or constraint that encourages you to respond in the moment and/or think outside the box. We will set open hours for the special Lightning Rod Writers' Room at Intermedia Arts if you would like to join us to write in fellowship with others.
Tuesday, April 11th – Rehearsal begins. Writers must submit pieces in whatever state they are in and agree to make no further amendments, edits or unsolicited remarks.
Friday, April 14th and Saturday, April 15th – Performances. Please attend at least one performance to enjoy the results! We would also be delighted for you to participate in talk backs, Q & A's and pre-show rituals if you are able.
Support Patrick's Cabaret Mission. Patrick's Cabaret is a queer-led performance art incubator supporting the growth and development of artists on the edge of culture. The organization produces work by hundreds of artists each year, with a particular focus on making space for artists of color, with disabilities, and on the LGBT/Queer spectrum to tell their stories in a welcoming, supportive, and transformative environment. (You do not have to live with or inhabit any of these identities to participate)
Attitude: Have a vested interest in or curiosity for collaborative work, particularly in new contexts with fresh faces. Passion for taking creative and professional risks for the sake of powerful work.
Have the ability to submit work on time, legibly formatted and within the parameters set by this curated event.
Writers are paid a fee of $50 for their participation, and will be provided with a comp'd admission to the performance to which they contributed.
While we wish we could pay more, we hope that you see the value of contributing to a community-driven process where you will meet new fellow artists, new ways of working, and be part of a uniquely theatrical form of resistance.
If you have any questions you can reach Guest Producer Kat Purcell at email@example.com

Fast Draw Showdown allows you to draw your weapon like a pro. If you've even wanted to know what it woad like back in the Old West you could play Red Dead Redemption. We did and we loved it. But there was an element I wish RDR would have focused on a bit more — Cowboy Duels. Every kid reenacts that legendary showdown, where "Ready… Draw" is yelled making a gesture for your holster and removing your revolver. And that's where Fast Draw Showdown makes that into reality using the PlayStation Move, or should I say, virtual reality.
Background. Back in 1994 a company known for live-action action games featuring laserdiscs as their media created Fast Draw Showdown. That company was Digital Leisure. Developing other live-actions games was part of their resume including Mad Dog McCree and Who Shot Johnny Rock. Skip 17 years later and a rebirth of Fast Draw Showdown has been made.
Nostalgia. The gritty graphics even made their way into the game. You can say purposely since it's the original footage but it works well with this shooter. Heck even the women in the cutscenes have a 90s appeal to them. No arguments here, I like that overly done red lipstick look.
PS Move. The PlayStation Eye and Move are mandatory to play this game. So if you don't have them, get them first. When you first start up FDS, you're asked to calibrate your PS Move with an on-screen calibration menu. Once that's out of the way, you can navigate by shooting your way through. I found the menu's to be a bit cumbersome. At the end of each round, you must shoot the on-screen menu to advance to your next opponent. Automating this step would have saved precious time instead of trying to hone my aiming on a simple "next" button.
Characters. Wes Flowers leads the pack of memorable characters from the original and is a real ball buster. He's your guide through different opponents and your referee if you draw your gun earlier than you should. The cast from the 90's kept their charm. As you progress throughout the game, you'll encounter a slew of varmants looking for a good challenge. Whether your up against 3 brothers or Sultry Selena all have a quick impression of you before the draw. Take them out as fast as possible to win.
Shootah. The main objective of FDS is to draw your weapon, shoot and kill your opponent quicker than he or she can. I mention kill, because not every shot that lands is a kill. Your best bet is a headshot following with bodyshots and extremeties.
Final Thought. Fast Draw Showdown is a fun game that can get a bit repetitive. Local multiplayer is very simple based on a who can shoot first method. Online Multiplayer would have made this game an instant purchase. But in staying true to this review, your playing a 90's game in 2011 and while it's fun you will find this game on your shelf quicker than later. If you like shooting dynamic targets, Fast Draw Showdown will be a fun game you can enjoy. But know it's limits and you'll have fun.
