hildren need a variety of experiences to assist them in exploring their environment. Through art, children learn to value their own uniqueness and to appreciate the individuality of others. This is very applicable in the rural communities we work in where children come from very poor backgrounds and activities like drawing, sketching, colouring and painting provide a wonderful opportunity for children to express themselves.

Volunteer teachers usually improvise or choose a variety of art activities which will contribute to all aspects of a child's development. This include activities which combine art and fun. We have over the years build up a resourse box with various customised art based fun that volunteers can use. You don't have to have an art background and anyone with enough initiative and enthusiasm can make a real difference to these childrens lives.

The best and brightest list Challenging Responsibilities

The New York Times recently reported that among the bright minds in our nation's B-schools, when it comes to top priorities in job selection compensation has fallen off the top of the pile. My knee-jerk assumption in reading their lead in was, "Of course, work-life balance...." But not so fast, knees. The real jerk into reality is that these new best and brightest have the audacity to value "Challenging Responsibilities" more than anything else. Oh, yes they did.

The Rectum Stretcher

While she was "flying" down the road yesterday, a woman passed over a bridge only to find a cop with a radar gun on the other side lying in wait.

The cop pulled her over, walked up to the car, with that classic patronizing smirk we all know and love, asked, "What's your hurry?"

To which she replied, "I'm late for work."

"Oh yeah," said the cop, "what do you do?"

I'm a rectum stretcher," she responded.

The cop stammered, "A what? A rectum stretcher?

And just what does a rectum stretcher do?"

"Well," she said, "I start by inserting one finger, then work my way up to two fingers, then three, then four, then with my whole hand in. I work from side to side until I can get both hands in, and then I slowly but surely stretch it, until it's about 6 feet wide."

"And just what the hell do you do with a 6 foot @sshole? " he asked.

"You give him a radar gun and park him behind a bridge..."

Traffic Ticket - $95.00
Court Costs - $45.00
Look on the Cop's Face...............PRICELESS

Sandra Backlund - The Art Of Knitting

clipper's remarks: Sandra Backlund Fall 2008 - Last Breath Bruises

Clip Source: myitthings.com

Innovative, edgy, unique, inspiring and experimental are some of the words that describe the work of Swedish knitwear designer Sandra Backlund. Backlund's latest collection "Last Breath Bruises" is no exception. Her work seems to blur the line between fashion and art. It's hard to believe that she graduated from the Beckmans School of Design in Stockholm only 4 years ago.

"My work is very personal to me. I improvise and allow myself to loose control and see what happens if I do not think so much about practical things. The human body is always a starting point. I am really fascinated by all the ways you can highlight, distort and transform the natural silhouette of the body with clothes and accessories. I build my garments by hand from a couple of basic bricks which I multiply and attach to each other in different ways to discover the shape that I want. In that sense I approach fashion more like a sculptor than a tailor."

Video Demands "Network Management"

clipper's remarks: The dumb internet doesn't work for video, which requires active network management.

The end-to-end principle has proved to work well for applications that require a high degree of data accuracy combined with high tolerance for delay, such as file transfer, and much less well for real-time applications such as telephony where low latency is more important than absolute data accuracy. The end-to-end model is also not appropriate for large multicast and broadcast networks, especially those with high loss such as some wireless systems because the overhead it imposes on retransmission is too high for most applications to bear.^{[citation needed]}

What a Great Message to Send to Kids

Tue, 26 Aug 2008 20:11:39 GMT

clipper's remarks: I have to say, this story is a perfect example of the wrong message we've been sending to kids for years.

As a former HS teacher, I've experienced first hand how kids now have an expectation that they all should be rewarded, all should succeed, and all should be entitled to and given everything they want.

Parents don't want this kid to play not because they're afraid he'll hurt their kids physically, but because they're afraid their kids won't succeed.

Instead of teaching the message that sometimes in life you encounter obstacles and need to work harder to overcome them, this story teaches kids if you encounter an obstacle, it's the obstacles fault and you can just give up.

In other words, you shouldn't expect to have to work hard to achieve what you want in life - it should just be given to you.

Some say it's too early to teach that lesson, but I say it's never too early. This is a perfect opportunity to teach your kids how hard work can pay off and lead to success.

The right-hander has a fastball that tops out at about 40 mph. He throws so hard that the Youth Baseball League of New Haven told his coach that the boy could not pitch any more. When Jericho took the mound anyway last week, the opposing team forfeited the game, packed its gear and left, his coach said.

"He's never hurt any one," Vidro said. "He's on target all the time. How can you punish a kid for being too good?"

Jericho's coach and parents say the boy is being unfairly targeted because he turned down an invitation to join the defending league champion, which is sponsored by an employer of one of the league's administrators.

EXTREME X-RAYS COULD THEY THE EXTREME FUTURE FOR AIRPORTS ?

clipper's remarks: While reading this a scene in the movie "RUNNING MAN" came to mind and a few question one being, how has Nick Veasey made it this long with all that exposure ? next can this process by made to work on a large scale and could the exposure time be cut to match someone passing by it ?

Extreme X-Rays: Photographer Nick Veasey Takes You Inside ... Everything

Not many photographers need a linear accelerator. But Nick Veasey isn't your average shutterbug. Instead of tweaking f-stops and light boxes, he fine-tunes the speed and frequency of energy pulses emitted by a Russian-made tabletop particle turbocharger. That's because Veasey doesn't work with traditional cameras and film — he works with x-rays.

The 46-year-old Englishman estimates that over the past decade or so he's x-rayed more than 4,000 objects: flowers, football players, alarm clocks, tractors, even a 777. "I'm interested in how things work, and x-rays show what's happening under the surface," he says. "Plus, they look cool." To get his pictures, Veasey uses industrial x-ray machines typically employed in art restoration (to examine oil paintings), electronics manufacturing (to inspect circuit boards), and the military (to check tanks for stress fractures).
