It was fun rewatching this film with my own children recently, where they were confused that a computer system took up the space of an entire room. As an educator contemplating learning in the digital age, I noticed the subplot. The audience gets acquainted with David's student profile, a kid who blows off school and finds himself pretty bored in general. ???????? At first, he pings the computer system, exploring which doors are open (which is humorous to my kids, as he uses an old-fashioned telephone spam to connect). After researching the designer of the system, he makes contact by uncovering a password, which eventually engages the entire computer.
So what does WarGames have to do with digital badge learning and project-based learning? Let's first frame the story through the lens of David's actions. He begins his learning journey from a "need to know." His quest is passion-based and interest driven. His curiosity takes him down multiple paths. He is engaged in game play and finds it invigorating. He seeks out an adult mentor, Dr. Falken, who can assist him in stopping inevitable war. He researches Falken, his contributions to computer science, and he discovers clues about the computer system, Joshua, as well as how to make face-to-face contact with his mentor. He continues to seek out more information to solve his problem. He is fully engaged, intrinsically motivated, curious and steeped in a real word experience.
Project-Based Learning
Project-based learning is defined by the Engaging Buck Institute as an experience where "students go through an extended process of inquiry in response to a complex question, problem or challenge. Rigorous projects help students learn key academic content and practice 21st Century skills, such as collaboration, communication and critical thinking." And why is PBL so awesome? The Buck Institute explains, "students gain a deeper understanding of the concepts and standards at the heart of a project. Projects also build vital workplace skills and lifelong habits of learning. Projects can allow students to address community issues, explore careers, interact with adult mentors, use technology, and present their work to audiences beyond the classroom. PBL can Badging motivate students who might otherwise find school boring or meaningless."
David's adventures in WarGames look a lot like PBL, doesn't it? The deep content he explored focused on the computer system and how to teach Joshua that some games have no winner. He had choice; he had a voice; he revised solutions as he experimented along the way; he had a public audience; the experience was inquiry-driven; and his mentor helped guide his thinking. The only piece that doesn't support ideal PBL learning scenarios is the high stakes situation of impending war. Ideally, we want our students to have low-stakes learning wholesale mlb jerseys opportunities where they can explore, take risks, prototype and revise their understandings and models along the way.
PBL & Badge Learning Scenario
If David were to earn a digital badge for teaching Joshua about games with no winners, what would it look like? He might have a badge learning advisor (teacher or mentor) who helps him map out his learning journey. wholesale jerseys The mentor may identify required elements in his learning journey, like learning a computer programming language, reading and responding to a collection of articles and writing a reflective blog as a transparent sharing space.
Together, David and his mentor may craft a "need to know" question or guiding essential question that focuses his work and cheap nfl jerseys future project. Along the way, David would receive frequent feedback from his mentor, experts in the field and maybe even feedback from his peers. wholesale nfl jerseys Ultimately, David would produce some sort of product that demonstrates his learning and understandings. The artifact would be published out to the world, rather than sit on a shelf in a classroom or in a pile on a teacher's desk.
David would earn a digital badge that is hard coded with metadata, revealing his learning pathways, rubrics for achievement, skills learned and maybe even a link to his work. He could share out this badge to the world through social media interfaces like blogs, wikis and more. And along the way, he may even earn smaller digital badges that serve as milestones in his learning journey. He may also get promoted to "peer reviewer" status within his online learning community, reviewing work of other students on computer science learning quests.
Digital badge learning is naturally framed within the tenets of project-based learning, providing opportunities for students to hone their 21st Century learning skills sets through a "need to know" quest view it now. Teachers serve as mentors and coaches along the way, guiding students in pursuing new understandings and in building prototypes. Students are engaged, motivated and empowered. Learning is relevant, authentic and real world.
Tamritz Badge Learning Network
John Dewey said, "If we teach today as we taught yesterday, we rob our children of tomorrow." Digital badge learning is one innovative approach that teaches for tomorrow. TAMRITZ ("incentive" in Hebrew) seeks to empower Jewish Day Schools to teach for Beginnings the future through a digital badge learning network. TAMRITZ is a Jewish Day School initiative incubated by the Joshua Venture Group Dual Investment Program and supported by the AVI CHAI Foundation.
Unique to the Tamritz Badge Learning Network is a badge-based professional development e-course, "Digital Age Teaching," where teachers are immersed in the experience and hone their 21st Century cheap jerseys online teaching and learning skill sets. Through face-to-face training, teachers also have the opportunity to develop their own badge learning curriculum, based on their school culture and program. A "Digital Media Literacy" badge-based e-course prepares students for future badge learning experiences and sharpens their connected learning toolkits. All within a digital learning environment, teachers participate in an ongoing community of practice and students participate in a badge learning network. This means that Jewish Day School students in California can collaborate with students in Boston, review K?odzkie peer work and benefit from collective wisdom. Jewish Day School teachers can share badge learning curricula and rubrics within the network.

I totally forgot about it! Maybe next week
I totally forgot about it! Maybe next week
I watched it last night and it was great. I liked the way they focused on only one crime rather than jumping around to other cases/detectives, which I have seen on a similarly produced Lawyer-type series on NBC.
This show was a pleasant surprise. I will surely keep tuning in.
Maybe by next week, it will be on fort's quick schedule on the bottom of the screen as a reminder.Originally Posted by AIWANNABE

Thanx John, I watched the first episode and enjoyed how they went from one perp to another, then to another and finally at the end found the scum who stabbed the girl near her heart. Luckily she survived, but he needs to be locked up a very long, long time.
Is anyone watching? That man is very close to hanging himself from a bridge.
I saw the episode last night. The show is EXCELLENT!
It was bitter sweet when that Lt. retired but, he felt that he needed too. Good luck to him!
Is anyone here a NYC police officer or have any family members or friends in the NYC force?
NYPD 24-7' provokes firefighters, annoys brass
Friday July 09, 2004
By TOM HAYS
Associated Press Writer
NEW YORK (AP) A gritty documentary series about police that has filled the usual time slot for ``NYPD Blue'' has some viewers seeing red.
After only three episodes, the ABC News series ``NYPD 24-7'' has infuriated a firefighters union and annoyed New York Police Department officials. Even Mayor Michael Bloomberg has panned one policeman's performance.
Publicly, police officials have taken no position on the show, which was distilled from 16 months of footage shot by film crews who shadowed detectives and other officers with the nation's largest police department as they investigated murders and fought urban crime.
But one high-ranking commander said Thursday that the brass has been ``less than thrilled'' with the bleep-happy series, which shows detectives cursing and smoking cigars while investigating a stabbing (where no one died).
Firefighters have focused their ire on a former Emergency Service Unit lieutenant, Venton ``Vic'' Hollifield.
With the cameras rolling at the scene of a car crash two years ago, the now-retired Hollifield referred to firefighters there as ``amateurs.'' Once the show aired, the union paid more than $100,000 for full-page ads in newspapers alleging the comment ``demeaned, slandered and belittled'' firefighters before a national audience, and demanded an apology from Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly for sanctioning the show.
A spokesman for Kelly, Paul Browne, called Hollifield's comments ``regrettable.'' But he added that the department had no say in what ABC aired as evidenced by Hollifield while he made a traffic stop of a suspected drunken driver.
As recounted on the show's Web site, the officer flouted guidelines by making the motorist get out of the car, then locking his keys inside and telling him to catch a cab home. The encounter ultimately ended with officers having to wrestle the enraged suspect to the ground and arrest him.
At City Hall, Bloomberg called Hollifield's comments about firefighters ``wrong,'' and suggested Hollifield not Kelly needed to apologize.
Hollifield hasn't.
Nor has ABC, which considers the show a commercial and critical success. The show had 6.9 million viewers last week, No. 27 in Nielsen Media Research's prime-time rankings. Only two other ABC shows did better.
The series' point ``was to go in and explore a closed culture, the NYPD police culture, and see life as it happens,'' said producer Terrence Wrong. ``If you have faith in your institution, you have no problem with that.''

Using hydroforming to reshape this light weight aluminium tubing both saves weight and increases frame strength. Reducing material where less strength is required saves unnecessary weight. Reshaping the tubes can increase weld area at key junctions such as the head tube and bottom bracket, hence distributing forces over a larger area.
This lightweight 6061 aluminium tubing has three different thicknesses throughout each tube, saving weight from the centre of the tubes and improving strength at the joins, just where it's needed. Learn more...

text: Manufacturing growth from China to the euro region and the US slowed in May, adding to signs that momentum is weakening in a global economy facing headwinds from rising commodity costs and regional shocks. A purchasing managers\' index for China showed the slowest pace of expansion in nine months, while the equivalent measure for the euro area fell to a seven-month low. The US gauge of factory growth was at its weakest in a year, Russia\'s index signaled, \"near stagnation,\" and reports from Poland to Hungary also showed a loss of manufacturing momentum. The synchronised drop in global factory indicators is adding to evidence that the world\'s economy is struggling to withstand the combination of rising oil prices, the aftermath of Japan\'s earthquake and Europe\'s sovereign-debt crisis. Losing some steam \"We can see some slowing momentum globally,\" and, \"Japanese supply disruptions might have played some role,\" said Ralph Solveen, an economist at Commerzbank AG in Frankfurt. \"Export demand won\'t be quite as dynamic as before — we\'re losing some steam. I don\'t see any collapse however.\" The US Institute of Supply Management\'s measure of factory growth fell more than projected to 53.5 last month, the lowest level since September 2009, from 60.4 in April, the Tempe, Arizona-based group said on Tuesday. Economists forecast a decline to 57.1, according to the median of 83 estimates in a Bloomberg News survey. US construction-spending growth rose in April for a second month, a separate report showed. Companies in the US added fewer workers than forecast in May. Employment increased by 38,000 last month, the smallest increase since September, from a revised 177,000 in April, according to figures from ADP Employer Services. The median estimate in a Bloomberg News survey called for a 175,000 gain. China index China\'s purchasing managers\' index was at 52, compared with 52.9 in April, the China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing said in an e-mailed statement today. The number was higher than the median forecast of 51.6 in a Bloomberg News survey of 16 economists.

If you liked Gallop! A Scanimation Book, you'll love the magical journey that is Safari. Readers, as if on safari, encounter 8 wild animals that come alive! Using an innovative lenticular-based technology, precision sliding lenses, and original four-color video imagery, each image is like a 3-D movie on the page, delivering a rich, fluid, immersive visual experience. The cheetah bounds. The gazelle leaps. The African elephant snaps its ears. The gorilla munches the leaves off a branch. Mesmerizing!
Accompanying the images is Safari, the guide: It begins with an evocative journal of a safari along the Mara River in Kenya and interweaves the history of safaris. Then for each animal there is a lively, informative essay and an at-a-glance list of important facts. It's the romance of being on safari - and the almost visceral thrill of seeing the animals in motion - in a book unlike any other.

In the text below, whole paragraphs in italic are quotations from original sources, as follows:
The Streets of Liverpool, James Stonehouse, 1869.
A Topographical Dictionary of England, Samuel Lewis, 1848.
The Georgian Quarter in Gage's map of 1836
The Georgian Quarter
Liverpool's Georgian Quarter consists broadly of the area bounded to the south by Upper Parliament Street, to the west by the Anglican Cathedral site and Rodney Street, to the north by Brownlow Hill and to the east by Grove Street. Systematic planning of housing in the area began at the start of the 19th century with the development of
Moss Lake Fields
into a grid of streets centred on Abercromby Square. This is the area at the top of Gage's map of 1836, to the right of the curve of Mount Pleasant. However it wasn't until about 1830 (incidentally the year of King George IV's death) that the buildings around the square were completed. By 1830 other areas such as Percy Street, Gambier Terrace and the Falkner Square district were being laid out and by the 1840s much of the housing in the Georgian Quarter had been completed.
Abercromby Square in 1831
The Georgian Quarter is well worth visiting, not just for the cathedrals but for its tranquil early 19th century elegance, dotted with cafés, restaurants and some of Liverpool's best pubs. It is still characterised by long terraces of quality town houses, which is fortunate because the whole district was under threat of demolition at one stage. In what follows, the area has been divided into three zones with Catherine Street and Hope Street as the dividing lines; each zone is covered from south to north.

was an extension of Parliament Street undertaken in 1807; the two marked the boundary between Liverpool and Toxteth Park. It has notably long and uniform terraces, that on the north side at the eastern end, the stuccoed
Falkner Terrace
, being the earliest. Dating from about 1831, it stood isolated for about 10 years.
Peter Kavanagh's
is one of Liverpool's most interesting pubs. The current building on Egerton Street, off Catherine Street, dates from the 1870s but was extended into the two adjoining houses in the 1970s. It was originally the
Liver Inn
, though I remember it in the late 1970s as the
The eponymous Mr. Kavanagh ran the pub for 53 years from 1897 and was responsible for designing the amazing interior, with its carved oak fittings and furniture. There is a mass of bric-a-brac, and stained glass windows depict Liverpool's shipping and railway connections; the round tables with spill channels apparently came from liners. But the wall paintings by Eric Robertson, dating from 1929 and depicting subjects from Dickens and Hogarth, are perhaps the most distinctive feature.
Egerton Street itself is an unusual and charming street of two-storey terraces, with small, well-tended front gardens, dating from about 1844.
Huskisson Street
has particularly fine terraces. Here at the eastern end they are brick-finished and later than the stuccoed houses at the western end. The street was named after MP William Huskisson. No.66 was the home of Alfred Rodewald (1862-1903), a cotton merchant and musician who founded the
Liverpool Orchestral Society
. He was a friend of composer Edward Elgar, who dedicated his Pomp and Circumstance March No.1, later set as Land
of Hope and Glory
, to him. The
Rodewald Concert Society
was founded in 1911 in his memory for the performance of chamber music and is still running under the auspices of the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Society.

Falkner Square (north)
Falkner Square (north west)
Falkner Square
was named after Edward Falkner, soldier and Sheriff of Lancashire, who owned a lot of land in the area. Its stuccoed houses were mostly completed by the early 1830s and the park was one of the city's first open public spaces. However, it was unpopular at the time, being regarded as too far out of town (it was nicknamed
Falkner's Folly
), especially as regards the long uphill drag for horse-drawn vehicles, and stood isolated for years before the neighbouring streets were built up. Nowadays it is a lovely spot with mature trees, borders and grassy areas, and brings to mind squares in Georgian parts of London.
Canning Street
, named after politician George Canning, is one of the longest and best-preserved residential streets in the Georgian Quarter. Heading down the eastern section from Falkner Square, the Anglican cathedral is seen to rise impressively over the houses.
Abercromby Square
, named after soldier Ralph Abercromby, was the earliest residential area to be completed (about 1830). The east side, including the Greek temple styled
St. Catharine's Church
, was destroyed during World War II and the University now occupies all of the remaining buildings. The site of Abercromby Square and a large surrounding area was previously covered with an expanse of bog and water known as the
Moss Lake

Liverpool University Victoria Building
Liverpool University Victoria Building
on Brownlow Hill was
designed by Alfred Waterhouse and completed in 1892. It is the building responsible for the term
Red-Brick University
. It is suitably imposing both outside and inside, though the interior tiling has always reminded me of the older style of public convenience. It houses a café and the
Victoria Gallery and Museum
. It fronts a collection of fine red-brick buildings that contrasts sharply with a lot of rather dull later stuff and also some stylish new buildings.
University College
opened in 1882 with 45 students, compared with 32,000 today. In 1903, it received its charter and became the
University of Liverpool
. A carved stone block on the Victoria Building records that the college was established 'for the advancement of learning and ennoblement of life'. Well, your humble writer had the honour of contributing his bit, he hopes, as a member of staff longer ago than he cares to remember, and perhaps (still hoping) continues to do so with this site.

is the main thoroughfare through the Georgian Quarter and has many fine houses.
Huskisson Street
at its western end has a fine stuccoed terrace and, on the corner with Percy Street, the beautiful neo-classical
St. Bride's Church
St. Bride's Church
Percy Street
Percy Street
is one of the finest in the Georgian residential area and the northern end was one of its earliest housing developments. The houses are quite distinct from those in neighbouring streets. At the north-east is probably the grandest block in the whole area, a huge symmetrical design with a Doric porch and colonnade and a balcony above. I can't be sure, but I seem to remember that Adrian Henri lived here for a time in the 1970s and used images of Georgian architecture in his poetry.
On the other side is a more restrained terrace in beautiful pink stone. I lived for a year or two in a flat here in the late 1970s. Most of the houses in the Georgian Quarter are now flats but my next-door neighbour's house was still in its original form. It was a memorable experience to see one of these lovely houses atmospherically done out in Victorian style, complete with his Pre-Raphaelite wife.

Gambier Terrace (north)
Gambier Terrace (north) from the Anglican Cathedral
Gambier Terrace
stands behind the Anglican Cathedral above the huge chasm of St. James's Cemetery. It was named after Admiral of the Fleet James Gambier. It runs the entire length of the cathedral but was built at different times and to different designs. The site was very desirable to potential residents because of the open views and the first stage at the north was one of the earliest of the new housing developments, construction starting in about 1830 and continuing until the early 1840s. It is another very grand symmetrical statement with a Doric porch, colonnades and balcony. The extension to the south dates from the 1870s and is also symmetrical but in a completely different style and built of yellow brick.

The Church of St. Philip Neri
Blackburne Terrace
St. Philip Neri
is a Roman Catholic church on Catherine Street, designed by Matthew Honan in 1909 in a Byzantine style and opened in 1920. At its side is an attractive formal garden.
Blackburne Place
is a characterful street. It sports the prominent, red-brick ventillation tower that once served the Edge Hill to Wapping railway tunnel, constructed in 1826-9. Rope-hauled wagons operated in the tunnel until the 1890s, when they were replaced by steam locomotives; the tower probably dates from then. Opposite is the elegant and early (1826)
Blackburne Terrace
At the Hope Street end is
Blackburne House
, built in about 1800 as a private residence for, and named after, the owner. It was turned into a girls' school in 1844, later the
Liverpool Institute High School for Girls
. The central tower, with a roof in the style of a French château, was added in 1874-6.

Canning Street:
The western section continues the brick-faced style of the eastern part. It is sought after as a location for film sets for costume dramas, part of Liverpool's burgeoning movie industry. It is occasionally closed off, freed of cars and strewn with horse manure.
The Belvedere
, hidden away in a cul-de-sac off Falkner Street, is a little gem of a pub. It has survived unspoiled with a tiny bar and a not much bigger lounge served through a hatch in the hall. In the lounge is a drawing of John Lennon by one of his colleagues when he was a student at the Art School.

The Philharmonic Hall
The Philharmonic Hall
is the second on this site at the corner of Hope Street and Myrtle Street. The earlier one of 1846-9 burned down in 1933 and the replacement opened in 1939. The rather plain exterior holds within a virtual museum of Art Deco designs. It is the home of the wonderful Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra.
The Eye and Ear Infirmary
on Myrtle Street is an eye-catching building in brilliant red brick, sandstone and terra cotta. Its style is influenced by old English architecture, with timber-framed gables and tall chimneys, but on a massive scale. It was designed by C.O. Ellison and built in 1878-80 and has now been converted to flats.

St. James's Cemetery:
There was a stone quarry here in the 16th century and quarrying continued until the stone was exhausted in 1825. It was laid out as a cemetery in 1826 by John Foster Junior, who was inspired by Père Lachaise Cemetery in Paris. It was closed as a cemetery in 1936 and left to fall into disrepair. Quentin Hughes writing in the 1960s called it 'one of the most powerful and picturesque spectacles in Liverpool, awe-inspiring in its mouldering decay'. It was opened as a public park in 1972 after most of the gravestones and monuments had been relocated around the periphery.
The gardens are now a green and pleasant retreat from the depths of which the Anglican Cathedral looks even more imposing. However, the entrance at the northern end is still quite creepy. A dark and narrow path descends through a deep cutting and tunnel in the smoke-blackened sandstone rock, lined with gravestones. Next to this entrance is the miniature Greek temple of the
sitting on its acropolis.
The Huskisson Mausoleum:
Situated in the gardens is the
Huskisson Mausoleum
by John Foster Junior. It marks the grave of William Huskisson, Liverpool MP, who was killed by the locomotive
on 15th September 1830, the opening day of the Liverpool and Manchester Railway.
St. James' cemetery, the site of which was given by the corporation, is a large tract of ground originally excavated as a quarry for stone used in building the docks, and converted into a depository for the dead at an expense of £21,000; it contains 44,000 square yards, inclosed by a stone wall and handsome iron palisades, having four stately entrances. The interior is intersected by roads wide enough to admit a carriage, which lead to catacombs excavated in the rock. In the centre is an ornamental building containing a full-length statue of Mr. Huskisson.

Hope Street with the Metropolitan Cathedral
Rodney Street with Mornington Terrace
Hope Street famously runs between the two cathedrals. It is named after William Hope, a merchant who lived in a house on the site of the Philharmonic Hall. It was straightened in the 1790s and residential development began in earnest around 1800. Today it is a vibrant street of hotels, restaurants and bars, along with the Philharmonic Hall and the Everyman Theatre.
Rodney Street contains some of the finest Georgian architecture in the city. It is known for its numerous doctors' practices and has been dubbed the
Harley Street of the North
. It was laid out by
William Roscoe
and others in 1783-4 and named after naval officer George Rodney. It was built in stages up to the 1820s by different architects, which accounts for the variety of frontages and roof-lines.
Towards the close of the last [18th] century the district of Rodney Street, Upper Duke Street, and Hope Street was all unbuilt upon, being in some parts cultivated land, and in others growing nothing hut furze and heather. The fields, for instance, that skirted and overlooked the great quarry [...] were of this wild description. Along the site of these fields, Hope Street was cut to Parliament Street. Upper Duke Street terminated at the entrance of St. James's Road, on the south, and a few yards above Rodney Street, on the north. Just above this spot were a tavern, a windmill, and a bowling green [...]. This bowling green stood on the site of Mornington Terrace. Beyond this were fields, and as late as 1823 there were extensive roperies on the site of Canning-street. Just above Rodney Street was a little lane, which skirted the public house and the bowling green. This lane ran up eastwardly to a lane called Crabtree Lane, now Falkner Street [...].
Rodney Street was projected about 1780. [...] In 1807 there were many portions of Rodney Street unbuilt upon, on which grew heather and furze about the sandpits abounding in the vicinity. The first house erected in it was by Mr. Pudsey Dawson, who had so benevolently and successfully taken the Blind School in hand. His house stood at the corner of or near Hardman Street, which was called after Mrs. Hardman, who had much land thereabout. Rodney Street has always been a favourite locality of the medical profession. There are at present upwards of twenty practitioners residing in it, either physicians or surgeons.

The Liverpool Institute
William Ewart Gladstone's Birthplace
Mornington Terrace:
Opposite the northern end of the Anglican Cathedral, Mornington Terrace on Upper Duke Street is a very attractive group of five red brick houses of c.1840.
Liverpool Institute:
Off Hope Street is Mount Street, where the Liverpool Institute is located, a plain but imposing building. This was built in 1835-7 as the
Mechanics' Institution
, providing classes for working men. By the 1850s a boys' school and an art school were evolving on the premises and in 1856 the name was changed to
The Liverpool Institute and School of Arts
. Under council control from 1905 until its closure in 1985, it was known as
The Liverpool Institute High School for Boys
. Among many famous pupils here were Beatles Paul McCartney and George Harrison. It rapidly fell into disrepair after its closure but was rescued by a team headed by McCartney and entrepreneur Mark Featherstone-Witty and reopened in 1996 as the
Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts
or LIPA.
Opposite the Institute on Mount Street, an attractive terrace of small town houses of c.1820 extends down the hill. At the top on Hope Street is a sculpture of 1998 by John King called
A Case History
representing a pile of luggage, with labels referring to local people and institutions.
William Ewart Gladstone's Birthplace:
On the southern part of Rodney Street, No.62, built in 1792-3, was the birthplace of the famous Victorian politician William Ewart Gladstone.
Edward Chambré Hardman's House:
On the other side of the road further down at No.59 is the house and studio of photographer Edward Chambré Hardman. This is now owned by the National Trust and can be visited. It has been restored to what it must have been like when he lived and worked there from 1947 to 1988. It houses his studio, darkroom and living quarters, together with an extensive collection of his photographs and equipment.
Ye Cracke
is a characterful pub and a pub full of characters, at least it used to be when it was the haunt of John Lennon and the Liverpool Poets, and it still attracts one or two. Situated on Rice Steet, a narrow lane off Hope Street, it was built in 1852 as the
Ruthin Castle
, probably named after a ship. It was nicknamed
Ye Cracke
because of its size, and this had become its official name by 1892. It retains much of its no pretence, quirky style, with a tiny front bar and an even tinier snug known as the
War Office
(apparently because those who once wished to mull over the Boer War were banished there). There is also a large garish painting of a Napoleonic battle scene done in a primitive style. I seem to remember in the 1970s an original oil painting by 'Fifth Beatle' Stuart Sutcliffe hanging in the pub but it has long since disappeared - it would be far too valuable nowadays.

, the entrance to which is tucked away in a little alley down some steps.
The Old School for the Blind
on Hardman Street was a new building of 1849-51 replacing an original that had to be demolished for the construction of Lime Street Station. It has recently been nicely refurbished as a restaurant and bar.
The Philharmonic Dining Rooms
, probably Liverpool's most famous pub, was designed by Walter Thomas (who also designed the similarly grand
on Lime Street) for Robert Cain's brewery and was completed in 1900. The exterior (recently restored) is a kind of Scottish castle fantasy with magnificent art nouveau wrought iron gates.
Inside, there is loving attention to detail with ornate plasterwork, stained glass windows, glazed tiles and mosiac floors, with which the Liverpool University Schools of Art and Architecture were extensively involved. Accomodation is on the grand scale, the several large rooms lined with dark mahogany panelling and decorated with carving, the work of ships' carpenters who built the lavish interiors of the ocean-going liners of the time. The huge room at the back (the Grand Lounge) was once the billiards room.
Perhaps the pub's most celebrated feature is the gents' toilet, an extravaganza in mosaic and marble (ladies may be able to arrange a guided tour at a suitable time by arrangement with the management). With an appropriate conflation of allusions to music and alcohol, two of the rooms are called
. One of these has an imitation minstrel gallery, while in the other is a fine stained glass window dedicated to music. The inscription reads 'Music is the universal language of mankind'. I'll drink to that.
St Andrew's Church
, originally
St. Andrew's Scotch Kirk
of 1824, is located at the northern end of Rodney Street and now, after renovation, houses student accomodation. The original churchyard remains, featuring a strange pyramid of 1868, which is the tomb of railway magnate William Mackenzie, said to be buried in a seated position.
Notre Dame Convent
evolved and expanded from the house at 96 Mount Pleasant beginning in 1851. It became the
Notre Dame Collegiate School
in 1902, a direct grant grammar school in 1946 and a girls' comprehensive school in 1983. It is now part of Liverpool John Moores University. The view from Mount Pleasant is rather flat and haphazard and the rear is now cluttered with more recent developments, but the c.1900 photo here shows the impressive chapel as it once looked.
The northern end of Hope Street is completely dominated by
Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral
, a magnificent counterpoise to the Anglican Cathedral at the southern end.

It turns out we are all planning to go a little nuts this year:Advertisement"According to the National Retail Federation, Americans plan to spend $6.9 billion this year for Halloween. To put that number into context, the same NRF survey found that Americans planned to spend $3.3 billion as recently as 2005."Scary! Exactly how many Don Draper suits and Sexy Cat outfits does $6.9 billion buy us? Oh wait, a breakdown of that amount reveals that only $2.5 billion of that goes to human costumes. Then there's the additional $300 million we spend to dress our pets up like bumblebees and Yodas. And, of course, let us not forget the candy and decorations—for which we will fork over $2 billion. That's a lot of Reese's Peanut Butter Cups and fake spider webs!AdvertisementSo, why, with our infamously shitty economy, are we going more bananas than usual for Halloween?

Charlotte countertop expert discusses granite and radon
Who we talked to
Lance Taylor, owner
Aspen Tops
7010 Smith Corners Blvd., Ste. C
Charlotte, N.C.
Lance Taylor became interested in the granite business 10 years ago after managing a construction company, and bought Aspen Tops in 2004. "I'm fascinated by natural stone and the beauty it adds to any project," says Taylor. "My favorite part is helping customers select the material. It's like selecting art."
Is there any danger in the possibility of granite countertops emitting radon?
"A study was released by The University of Akron in May. The study measured radon released by thirteen granite types. The stones they studied added only 7 percent - or less - of the amount of radon to the house. In our state, the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR) has committed resources to evaluating this subject and informing the public."
How could the radon emissions hurt homeowners and their families?
"Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas found throughout the environment. Exposure to extreme amounts of radon over an extended period of time can cause cancer. But radon is present in virtually every home and it's released by hundreds of common household items including bananas, potatoes, nuts, smoke detectors, concrete blocks and televisions. It's also slowly released by glass, dirt and stones - including granite - as they break down over time."
Do you test granite for radon levels?
"With the help of Dr. Felix Fong, the chief of radon management for NCDENR, I've measured radiation released by granite slabs from twelve different quarries [that we use]. There wasn't a significant difference between the radiation released by the slabs I tested and the concrete floor we were standing on. Dr. Fong stressed that testing had limited value because the additive impact of radon emission from granite countertops is best measured with regard to the radon already present in a specific home environment."
What can a homeowner do if they're worried about radon emission levels?
"If a homeowner is worried about radon, I'd recommend they purchase a home radon test kit. If the tests indicate that radon levels exceed the Environmental Protection Agency's acceptable levels, a number of corrective actions can be taken to improve ventilation in the home, including installing vent fans. If they're building a home, consumers should discuss radon mitigation construction techniques and related building codes with their home builder."

In an effort to increase scoring, the NCAA implemented new rules changes during the off-season meant to crack down on hand-checking (i.e. when the defensive player uses one or both of his hands to impede the progress of the offensive player). Although this defensive technique has technically been illegal for years, teams like Duke have been utilizing this defensive tactic without being consistently whistled for the foul.
With an emphasis on this rule, it seemed inevitable that games would be higher scoring. The assumption was that there would be more foul calls, which would lead to more free throws attempted and more points scored. Eventually, defenders would inevitably adapt and take their hands off the offensive player, allowing for easier driving lanes and more uncontested lay-ups.
Our theory was that although scoring would rise, totals would quickly adjust and the public would overreact to this increased scoring output. So far this season, we have been correct.
The table below, which utilized the historical data which powers our Bet Labs software, shows the average combined score and average total across the NCAA over the past two seasons.
Year | Avg Points | Avg Totals | Difference |
2012-13 | 134.2 | 133.6 | -0.6 |
2013-14 | 143.5 | 145 | +1.5 |
As you can see from the information above, scoring has risen 9.3 points per game since last season while the average total has risen 12.4 points per game. This data would indicate that totals have over adjusted compared to the actual scoring output, which we hypothesized would create value on the under.
In fact, this has been the single best season in our historical database for betting unders. If a bettor took every single under (using the close line at the Pinnacle sportsbook) they would have produced a 530-413 ATS record, good for +73.03 units won and a 7.7% return on investment. This is particularly impressive when you look at the performance of unders over the past decade.
We've already shown an edge that NCAA basketball bettors hold this season, but we were interested in taking it one step further. We've noticed that historically the lower the total, the more likely the over is to cover. Conversely, the higher the total, the more likely the under is to cover. Knowing that, we utilized our Bet Labs software to hone in on high totals (which we defined as any over/under of at least 138).
Those initial data points highlighted in red indicate a slow start to the season, but sportsbooks quickly adjusted their totals while bettors have been slow to counter-react. The result has been soaring profits for any College Basketball bettor who continued to pound the under. This system has posted a 425-294 record this season with an incredible +95.55 units won and a 13.3% ROI. That means that a $100/game bettor would be up $9,555 by betting every game in this simple system.
This season our NCAAB Best Bets on totals have gone 43-16 (72.9%) ATS with 23.3 units won, and our Pro members have full access to these selections. If you're interested in receiving these red-hot plays, we offer a 4-day trial of our Pro subscription for just $49. Sign up now to start winning today!
3/4/14 Update: Overall unders are now 1491-1292 ATS for +74.04 units this season. This system currently has a 952-784 ATS record with +88.16 units and a 5.1% ROI.

advanced beginner?
landscapes, waterscapes - all of nature, travel, architecture, people and animals - especially dogs
Olympus OMD-E-M5, Micro 4/3; also my iPhone (the best camera is the one you have with you.)
More opportunities to shoot locally, learn new skills and become a better photographer - particularly travel photography. I'm looking for new opportunities for recreation and to meet interesting people. I have taught at two universities in Argentina and a university in Chile; also at the University of Padua, not far from Venice, Italy. The University of Padua was founded in the 1200s; Galileo and Copernicus were faculty there. What amazing history! I'm so grateful for my international teaching and photo ops!
I'm feeling like a stranger in a strange land-just returned from India after 2½ years teaching Restorative Justice in their National Law Universities. I'm a social worker turned lawyer turned mediator & peacemaker. What's Restorative Justice? Ask me!
