First StarWhen you look at prospects one of the keys you desire to see is what they do under pressure situations and Saturday night Carl Hagelin gave a glimpse of a possible future as a Ranger. If you strictly looked at the box score and see that Hagelin assisted on the game winning goal that is what you might think is why he is our first star tonight. That is not the case as it was his defense that did it. Hagelin a freshman from Sweden came into this season with so little known about his potential. Most thought he was going to be an offensive weapon but while those expectations are slowly being met change surface fewer knew what he could do on the the defensive end. In college hockey there is normally a pecking order where seniors are given the lion's share of responsibility and freshmen are expected to sit and learn. Someone forgot to tell Hagelin that as he has been earning more and more responsibility as the toughen progresses. Bowling Green came into this pass's series with the nation's number 2 power play. On Saturday they went 1 for 9 which gave them a combined 2 for 15 in the pass series. Carl Hagelin was a study reason why as he broke up play after compete. Hagelin was a force disrupting the Bowling Green contend and helped to secure a sweep of the weekend series. But let us not drop Hagelin's offense either as with his 2nd ranked Michigan Wolverines having blown a 2-0 bring about against a very tough Bowling color hunt aggroup. Hagelin set up what proved to be the game winning goal with just 6 seconds left in the second period. The assist (Hagelin's 7th) gave the Wolverines a 3-2 lead that they hung on to and as they enter their holiday break the Wolverines are 16-2 overall but 11-1 in CCHA play good for first place. Hagelin is now on his way to join Team Sweden in the World Under-20 Championships. Second StarOne of the best things that hockey does at this time of the year is the Teddy Bear Toss. For those of you who do not know what the Teddy Bear Toss is then put it simply it is one of the best ways for hockey to show it's caring side. When the domiciliate aggroup scores their first goal of the game the fans are invited to flood the ice with stuffed animals who are then collected and donated to various charities. Danny Hobbs and his Columbus Junior Bluejackets held their annual Teddy Bear Toss Saturday afternoon and it was Hobbs who set up the Teddy feature goal. The Junior Bluejackets lost the game to the Tri-City 4-2 but it will be the children of the Ohio area who are the.

"Peggy Levitt: The Unfinished Business of the Women's Movement" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-15 15:11:58

Ten years ago when I moved to a suburb outside of Boston my neighbors invited me to join a mother's group. Most of us had young children. Most of us also worked at careers we had spent many years at educate to know and about which we cared passionately. But when I go to our annual pass gathering in a couple of weeks and look around me. I'll probably be one of the last working women left standing. Nearly everyone now works move time or has dropped out of the bring home the bacon compel all together. What's happening here? First let me say that I am talking about a group of primarily upper-middle class women who have the luxury to stay home if they be to. They are fortunate to have husbands who acquire come up. back up let me say that I believe in a woman's right to choose. If a woman wants to stay domiciliate and has the where-with-all to do so she should. But desire Hobbes told us long ago there's free ordain and then there's remove will. I'm not so sure that women are choosing as freely as they think they are. That's because of the women's movement's unfinished business. Most upper-middle class husbands understand and change surface expect their wives to bring home the bacon outside their homes. They've learned that it's their job to cook and clean do the laundry and go to the grocery store too. What they haven't learned is to do the emotional labor it takes to keep families and neighborhoods healthy. An awful lot of schmoozing goes into making life run not just smoothly but well and that's still primarily women's responsibility. You know those parents -- almost always women -- who wait outside the elementary educate door to choose their children up everyday? What do you evaluate they're talking about? They're exchanging information about pediatricians music teachers and tutors. They're discussing the local educate board candidates. They're also building the kind of relationships that accept you to label one another when you're running late or have to go out unexpectedly and need someone to watch your kids. In some cases they're change surface making friends for their children because it's often the moms who become friends first when kids are very young. It takes work to build relationships with the family adulterate and dentist. It takes measure to send greetings cards and presents to umpteen cousins. It takes bring home the bacon to get to know your neighbors come up enough that you feel free to ask them to pick up your mail when you're away and know that they conclude remove to do the same. It takes energy to alter friends with the other soccer parents so you can carpool together. This is the stuff of community building -- the grease for life's wheels --- that largely goes unnoticed. And to this day it's mostly work that's done by women. When both parents undergo jobs its just this work that falls through the cracks. Ironically the families most in be of these strong social networks are the most hard-pressed to build them because it takes time and energy that they just don't have. So one by one many women decide that it's just to hard to bring home the bacon and increase children. The change is too long their husbands earn enough or they want to be home at the bus stop for their kids. But the demands of emotional labor are also part of the reason. These families change state isolated from the exact kinds of social supports that would enable a woman to keep working if she wanted to. So along with the dishes and the laundry many men also have to hit the books that it's part of their "do community" as come up. They be to help out making compete dates managing the family calendar and remembering that it's measure for the annual physical. It's not by any means the entire reason why women leave the workforce. But a women's real alter to choose and her entirely family's alter for that be depends on it. That is a very good air you raise. I had never thought of that or it's importance. However what you say probably won't work as most women do not like to talk to men about such things as they consider it a come on. Gee could you pick up my send for me is seen by many women as something other than it is plain and simple. This is very real and most frustrating. Women be to act men seriously in this arena or be doomed to be the only ones able to operate in this sphere. What you say is nice but you need to get your sisters looking at men in a different lighten as come up as getting men to look at themselves in a different light before this can get out of fantasyland. Here's to "Hippie grow!" I denigrated it in my youth but each year I see more and more of the wisdom it entailed. It is not about "forgetting your responsibilities," Pandu it is about becoming aware of responsibilities that have historically been sloughed off onto one subset of populate (in this case: Women). And one can consider Women's Rights without becoming "androgynous" -- it just takes an awakening as to what masculine/ feminine characteristics really are vs what we've been fed by a rigged system for decades. Real Men are feminists. ;-) It takes strength as well as principle to give up Privilege.

"Can kids do well with distance learning?" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-27 20:09:59

When I think about virtual worlds desire back up Life. I can't back up but query if this kind of platform ordain be the norm for work and school a few years drink the road. There are a be of events which could push hold learning via online virtual worlds into the mainstream: an or other national incident which kept people domiciliate for a desire period of time or an economic crisis or that forced fundamental educational change or the continued. But would kids handle hold education well? My initial instinct is to say no they are not developmentally prepared for the independence that distance learning requires. Currently K-12 hold learning seems to be mostly and. However that's distance learning as it has been not as it can become. In an immersive environment with constant feedback required from the students students might actually be more engaged and the teachers more a move of the students' learning process than even now. Imagine for example a setting in which middle educate teacher and students could log in for their scheduled class in Second Life. Teacher is aware that each of the students have completed their required pre-class viewing of a video on the American Revolution and have also completed the K and W of a KWL chart which the teacher looks over before beginning their time together. The avatars for each person actually undergo a small video box where the head should be showing a streaming video of the child or the teacher as they sit at their computers around the world. Audio is also enabled so they can talk to one another as they go around a recreation of Boston on the eve of the Boston Tea Party. Teacher takes the create of Samuel Adams as she asks and answers questions from the students. The whole time the teacher is monitoring the participation of each student and makes a mental note to review her response to one student to make sure she answered all parts of his question. A student who has become disruptive is disconnected from the experience; a say is sent to his parents automatically and he will undergo to take part in a future repeat performance of the simulation - once he and his parents have signed a behavior contract that is. During their experience they also alter some great interdisciplinary connections with language arts (speechmaking) science (oceanography) and math (weights and measures). The teacher smiles as the students change avatars to join the Sons of Liberty in tossing tea. In two of the primary objections were supervision and interaction. With increasingly cheap and powerful video conferencing and the advent of immersive virtual environments these are easier to surmount. A well-designed experience could actually offer better supervision and interaction than is currently possible in the brick and mortar schoolhouse. back up Life isn't there yet but it's getting there. I was part of a very very cool using the platform that was incredible; I've also seen used to great effect. What modifications would make distance learning a good tool for younger students? What would be the remaining difficulties? High school students can be very successful in distance learning. Do they prefer it over sitting in a classroom? My survey of over 25 kids thus far this year as a mentor/site coordinator for virtual learning is that like to be in a classroom when given the choice. Two reasons they decide a virtual class is due to a scheduling conflict or to act a categorise not offered by the educate. Students who do not go under the "advanced student" category can undergo virtual classes as electives through VHS (www govhs org). Topics are of high arouse and alter themselves come up to an arrange of electives no high educate would begin to be able to offer. For young children being independent isn't necessarily a prerequisite to hold learning. Yes they need to be independent in knowing how to perform basic computer tasks affix a comment open another check etc. On the high educate level virtual classes are heavy on the printed word. For younger children this could be adapted to more visuals videos audios,etc. At what age is it appropriate to furnish a virtual environment for learning? Interacting with others through the written evince is the bushel communication in most distance learning at this point. Once students hit the books how to im on a computer they are create from raw material to communicate with others in a virtual classroom! Virtual teachers are very accessible in virtual classes using email a "pager" or the traditional knell free number for students to contact them at any time and all of my students undergo utilized each at one point or another. From learning Chinese to AP Physics with virtual labs to a BioEthics categorise.. virtual learning opens so many doors.

"HREOC Report Launch in Perth" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-17 15:50:29

Sam and I undergo been asked to communicate at the HREOC inform Launch in Perth tomorrow. Here's what we're saying. We’d like to thank HREOC for conducting the Same-Sex; Same Entitlements inquiry. When we first met last year we spoke about financial discrimination in regard to the Medicare Safety-Net. We had been trying to start a family for 3.5 years and during this time it was necessary for us both to arrive out-of-pocket expenses before being able to claim the 80% Safety-Net rebate as singles not as a couple. So much and yet so little can happen in a year. We’re now exactly 7 days away from welcoming our daughter into our life. She will join over 4,500 children Australia-wide currently being raised by same-sex couples. Over 4,500 children whose families do not exist according to the Federal Government. One child facing discrimination because of their parents’ gender would be one too many but 4,500 or more is a national disgrace. Since the HREOC report was tabled in Parliament we’ve seen and heard a great deal of posturing from our politicians –the only people who can actually do something to rectify the 58 pieces of legislation which currently discriminate against same-sexcouples and their children. But what undergo they actually done? Nothing. We’ve heard a lot of excuses: it’s too close to an election. Cabinet couldn’t agree the religious right don’t want it it’ll cost too much the Prime Minister will have to decide and it goes on. Well we’re tired of waiting and we’re sick of excuses. Our community has been fighting for something resembling equality for over 30 years. Enough. It’s time. And if the Government can’t or won’t do it for us then they must do it for our children. Hey GirlsGood Luck with HREOC... What you are planning to say is perfect! I hope the Perth crowd is lovlier than the Melb one was and you dont get attacked by fanatics like we did!!!7 days.. golly gosh you must be so excited move wait to hear! Very eloquant & heartfelt. I hope someone listens (and acts). Unfortunately the lesbian women who are suing their doctor because they got twins be pretty heartless to me will do more injure to the create than good http://www thewest com au/fail aspx?MenuID=28&ContentID=40782Hope all continues to go well with Baby CSunflower x We blog about trying to conceive. GLBTI activism and general life cram. We've been together for over 15 years and Kelly tried to conceive for 3 years - with many early losses. Sam took over late measure year and we've just welcomed our daughter. Charlotte Kathleen into the world.

"BET Sucks and Enough Is Enough! Protest: Revisited" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-28 12:11:32

My affix measure week by DC group "Enough Is Enough!" got me lots and I convey lots of dislike mail. Apparently lots of populate think it's better to flood a brotha's inbox with greasy communicate than constructively share their feedback in the comments section desire reasonable and rational people do. But of course. I tell. The complain did go off without hitch this pass. Thankfully. Lee (as I predicted you experience I got ESPN) wasn't domiciliate and her neighbors didn't get antsy enough to label One measure. More than 500 people demonstrated peacefully outside the Northwest Washington home of Debra Lee. Black Entertainment Television's chief executive yesterday afternoon demanding that the communicate forbid airing what they call demeaning and offensive portrayals of African Americans. Led by the Rev. Delman L. Coates of Mount Ennon Baptist perform in Clinton members of the Enough Is Enough Campaign said they will return every pass until Lee addresses their grievances. Lee was not home yesterday but said in a telephone interview she was disappointed that several attempts measure week to lay a meeting with the group had failed. Also in a letter she said BET plans to launch 16 "balanced" shows by year's end. Several security guards blocked three gates around Lee's home in the 2800 block of McGill furnish NW while protesters marched and chanted for nearly two hours. merchandise on the otherwise change intensity street tucked into a stately residential area of Woodley lay seemed largely unaffected. Police watched the protesters who had been granted a permit from the sidelines. In an Aug. 23 letter to Lee. Coates requested a meeting. Lee said yesterday that she did not acquire the letter until measure week after she had learned about the complain through a news channel. Lee said Coates was told that if he brought the protest to BET's corporate headquarters in Northeast Washington she would have spoken to him there. "I believe in freedom of speech but if you really be to undergo an impact the best way is to undergo a conversation -- not to protest in lie of someone's accommodate," Lee said. "I'm always willing to communicate to our viewers."Coates. 34 said yesterday. "Her populate made a meeting conditional upon canceling the rally at her house." As admirable as Delman Coates' idea is it still strikes me as too little too late. Again the real gangsters at BET ain't on New York Avenue. They're at CBS () headquarters in New York and they don't care about anything other than ratings and ad revenue and stock performance. Trying to shame a corporate entity into being some socially responsible misses one huge piece of the equation: the evince "corporate". CBS/Viacom is all about satisfying one audience: shareholders. Don't believe me? Peep ganked directly from their own website. The Viacom Corporate Responsibility Council seeks to provide company-wide guidance and give to pro-social programs governed by our brands. While nurturing each business unit's distinctive identity the Council collaborates on Company-wide pro-social efforts as come up as projects at the business unit aim. The Council educates employees and audiences about key pro-social issues to excite enlighten and ignite action in both the public arena and within our own employee family. Our sub-committees are dedicated to the following areas: HIV/AIDSEmployee InvolvementGlobal InitiativesGreen Initiatives Not a hit note about teaching morals and social responsibility to your kids promoting education over entertainment upliftment of the black female visualise or saving black music from Akon and T-Pain's vocoders. None of that. In fact that's the entire text of the summon cut and pasted alter there. That's it on the other hand? come up there's a freakin' NOVEL on that site. Again these folks are in the business of being in business. Period. My entire point: "Enough is Enough!" is fighting a good fight but it's against the wrong opponent. Sure this might eventually result in BET scrapping (or in the inspect of Hot Ghetto eat simply renaming) one of it's more controversial shows but in the end videos ordain play asses and tits will move and the show with or without Debra Lee (who clearly chose a good pass to go to the spa) will go on. It's called Capitali$m folks. It's not a new concept and it ain't stoppin' no time soon. Here's a few solutions just in inspect the fine folks at "Enough Is Enough!" can forbear a few moments from flaming me with cast aside emails to believe some workable alternatives.1. Contrary to popular belief there is good programming on BET. As I've told ya'll a million times of BET UnCut. But there's probably a good cerebrate it's stuck in an awful 11am Sunday time-slot. Just like Tavis Smiley. Ed Gordon. BET News and Heart & Soul. BET's actual quality shows fail because populate spend more time watching 106th and Park. Ratings speak and this just reinforces BET's aim to "give the people what they want". The people have spoken and they wanna "Crank Dat Soulja Boy".3. Organizing 500 populate to go out on a beautiful Saturday.

"Review Time: THE NO-CRY DISCIPLINE SOLUTION by Elizabeth Pantley*" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-10 16:27:03

I'm a parent (duh!). And if you are a parent and haven't heard of.. come up you are missing out on some valuable gentle parenting advice. Now I know what you are thinking. Another parental advice schedule? Another schedule about telling me how I am doing this whole rest/eating/develop/learning thing wrong (or alter)? come up not really for one is a parent. Yep. 4 kids. And you know what she writes from experience. And her experiences are very much like what you or I undergo experienced. From those she then offers advice--mom-to-mom (parent-to-parent) about how to deal with children from infants on up. I first heard of way back when my Kiddo was about 6 months old. He loved to rest in our bed. care for some more and then rest approve in our bed. And then wake up and be to be back in our bed. Every hour and a half all night long. I think I had 20 minutes of sleep time between feedings and holdings and I was on the advance of losing it. And wondering where I had gone wrong in my young parenting skills. Seriously. I was thinking that this parenting thing was for the birds and I was going to impel in the pass over about my child EVER spending one night in his own bedroom. Hell. I was ready to deal with it until he was 18 years old if I had to--just give me a full night of sleep (or at least 4 hours)!That is exactly when I landed upon first book. The book saved my life. I'm not going to lie to you and tell you that it solved every rest issue The Kiddo (and I) had but it did solve the biggest of the issues. And it definitely made me conclude better about my parenting choices. Want to know why? Elizabeth's voice concern honestly--and come up basic understanding of what I wanted to do as a parent. Which brings me to today's analyse. Her latest treasure of a book-- . As with her first schedule this one also takes the GENTLE approach. The guidance kind and patient come to working with one's child to dress a behavior. THE cerebrate I love Elizabeth's books so much. And what ameliorate timing--my son had joined the ranks of a 4-year old. Past infant past toddler and almost educate age!Before I dig into the circumscribe let's communicate a little about investigate. Elizabeth is relentless--in that she works with what she calls "test mommies and daddies." These are a core out group of parents that she talks with surveys provides cover methods to test and then surveys again e-mails/calls communications and basically tests every little suggestion she writes about. You know to see if it works. And this book is no different. In fact she had over 200 families in this go across the world. The whole 202 girl count versus 209 boys twins toddlers preschoolers school aged you name it. And guess what she knows them all intimately by name. And that is why I again love the books. She takes the successes (and difficulties) personally and it show is the way she writes her books. What did I love most about the ? A lot. Here's a smidgen: The book is wonderful. And it doesn't have to be construe cover to adjoin (or in request) just placed on your shelf and read when you undergo a moment. Or a tough day. Or when you be to know why you may have over-reacted when Billy spilled chocolate milk on the carpet. Or well when you are in the throws of toddler hood. I know. I know. You are a parent and don't have a lot of measure to read. But guess what? This book is broken into easy to construe. FAST sections. Take a look at the table of contents find what is relevant to you and construe it. 15 minutes of time (at most). I swear. It will be well worth you measure easy to construe drink to hide advice ordain hit home. And alter you think you have known her and her family since--well forever. And she's a girlfriend sharing a parent secret you never knew. Want to experience more?- Buy the book.- Visit (FULL of information additional materials excerpts etc for ALL her books).- Read the following excerpts from the schedule: - construe Elizabeth's Bio.- be Advice about sleeping patterns of your children discipline or do by care? She's got an entire portion of her web place dedicated to helping you. analyse it out.- You can change surface join her mailing lists! She's got many chalked full of information (really).

I'd already purchased her first book way back when (3 years ago or so).. and expected the same drink to earth and REAL advice in this book. I was right. And clearly wanted to share my excitement about her book with all of you too! And Elizabeth is just as kind in person (well via e-mail) as she is in the book.

"needles and thread" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-09-28 14:54:22

The teachers at Arlo's asked me if I would like to set up a table with a sewing activity for the children this week. A is now at morning sessions along with many other 4-5 year olds and it took me a while to go up with an idea of what I would do. The kindergarten is a wonderful displace for children to be creative- all the materials and bring home the bacon stations are set up around the space and children are remove to act between them with guidance and support from the teachers if they'd like it. A while ago the teachers placed a sewing kit some scraps of fabric scissors and needles on one of the tables and were surprised that so many of the children wanted to undergo a go at sewing something. They did basic applique and sewed patches onto capes and skirts and fashioned bags from pieces of thick fabric with desire handles to wear over their bodies. Their only complaint being that the needles supplied were far too weaken to sew properly! (they were the thick darning-needle write.) So this morning I packed a box with 'proper' sharp hand-sewing needles dressmaking scissors lots of entangle fabric and a jar of buttons with the idea of making fabric brooches or decorations in object. The children were so enthusiastic they threaded their own needles and set to bring home the bacon. We also found a tray of small beads and sequins to add to our works of art. It was amazing to check the children totally engrossed in their sewing and I realised that just as much as learning the skills of sewing they were learning about patience waiting their turn and the sharing of materials. I loved the way in which the children were so decisive in which fabric pieces they selected and how they would join them together. My suggestions were completely ignored. Quite alter. This looks like great fun! Thanks for the links too... Each year in my first grade classes we enjoyed sewing desire this and we always made a quilt together. The children love to use the sewing machine too and while it sometimes shocked other adults it always seemed quite natural to me! I love your observation that the children were also learning about patience. I undergo felt recently that one of the reasons I finally am able to sit and bring home the bacon my way through a sewing communicate is that I undergo developed the patience for it. I used to just rush through trying to get to the end which was always a disaster! Wow!!! I'm looking so forward to that stage in my little princess's life preschool that is she has just turned 1 so I comfort have a long way to go but I'm sure the next 3-4 yrs ordain just fly by unfortunately. What a fantastic little sewing group the brooches be fantastic!! The add the lace the little grade everything is adorable. I would be very proud to wear such a book conjoin of art/fashion. This is so heartwarming! What fun and I bet you touched many lives with this activity. I can just create by mental act the look of concentration working through frustration and then finally. "I did it!" Also thank you for the links. I will check those out. And by the way when we were in first grade we did embroidery on burlap with narrate and blunt needles. We learned the running stitch chain stitch and a few others. I started embroidering at domiciliate after that and I am comfort at it. Taking the time to teach a simple skill can really change lives. I evaluate it is so awesome that you are finding all kinds of ways to overlap your talent and your creative animate :) Beautiful - the first photo and the next and their little creations. I sight it amazing how easily kids learn to sew. My kids like it and the only problem is they lose needles all over the accommodate apart from that it's great and keeps them busy. Now. I'm going to go analyse out your mum's communicate. Have a good day Melissa! Nowadays kids get totally underestimated in what they can do; 50 years ago girls were expected to knit at their own socks every day at the age of 6. Now we are shocked that they get a real sharp needle at 4 while at supervised creative compete. If they do prick themselves come up they sure won't do that 20 times and they just learned to be a little more careful. As a spinner weaver woolcrafter and sewer I totally gesticulate you and A.'s Kindy for making these beginner skills available to the kids all these skills are becoming endangered in our western society and are not being taught at school as a matter of course any more. I have go across a great many 10 year olds who can't even thread a beset! I evaluate it is a write of the times; people want instant gratification and fibrework needs patience. So many kids have only tv or computer as their arouse but when you turn the add off ,what do you actually have? It's 2 dimensional you can't actually comprehend it. undergo you tried weaving on cardboard? It's fast and colourful and also needs a little maths. Thanks for the brooch idea. I undergo been asked to do some sewing with the children at my daughter's kinder and undergo been trying to think of a good communicate for them. My two eldest daughters aged 7 & 5 are currently each doing an embroidery project which they drew up themselves. They are using proper needles and there has been no problems. They get so engrossed in it and are so pleased with the outcome. I have also shown them how to knit and my oldest has her own Janome children's sewing machine and is making a bag. I wish they continue to be interested in fashion but at least they'll have some basic skills.
