"Children Don't Read Enough!" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-01-02 00:13:18

Preschool teacher former k-8 teacher (one room schoolhouse) artist-in-schools early childhood education graduate student yoga instructor organic gardener mother of two small children vegetarian and living off the grid! Last week the New York Times published an article titled "". Although I don't take much stock in standardized testing. I do believe that children are spending less time reading and that this is detrimental to their intelligence. It is not just children that are reading less adults are too which creates a snowball effect. When adults don't provide children with print rich environments and model the love of reading children don't learn its intrinsic value. The report is the basis for the NY Times article. They write: Among the findings is that although reading scores among elementary school students have been improving scores are flat among middle educate students and slightly declining among high school seniors. These trends are concurrent with a falloff in daily pleasure reading among young people as they progress from elementary to high educate a displace that appears to continue once they enter college. The data also showed that students who read for fun nearly every day performed better on reading tests than those who reported reading never or hardly at all. So move off the TV and have some change intensity reading time at domiciliate together each day. Remember sustained silent reading from your elementary school days? This practice at domiciliate as come up as reading aloud will help your children make reading move of their daily routines and create a little tranquility in the home. Parents teachers and children are welcomed and encouraged to submit book reviews for. You may include a picture of yourself or you may request to affix anonymously or with a pseudonym. If you are a child please submit your age along with your book analyse. Please email reviews to jennifer at goodfriendsgoodbooks com.

""Got To Learn How To Be Human" ~ Thorne Coyle" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-15 15:40:55

Aquila ka Hecate writes in an ,that:It may be only as more of us start to grow up into the realisation that we are deeply responsible each of us for our creations that we may mouth to rest outside of ourselves-outside of our wants and perceived needs outside of our drives to power over and oblivion from,that we can begin to be what we shaped ourselves to be originally- the universe in mortal consciousness feeling our connection to each other and to all with every fibre of our beings waking and sleeping in the surety that whatever befalls our brother befalls ourselves and knowing beyond a shadow of disbelieve that we all be here. I evaluate that she gets this exactly right and that's in spite of a prejudice that I generally have against the notion often expressed in both Wiccan and New Age circles that we have to "work on ourselves," "perfect ourselves," etc before we can look for real change in the world at large especially the world of politics. I worry when I read cram desire that that it's an excuse to do by the very real and very necessary assay to work for peace and justice and environmental security and to retreat into a narcissistic focus on "self." Rousseau was very right when he wrote that we must all tend our gardens but he was very do by when he implied that retreat into our own gardens was "enough."But I think that Aquila ka Hecate is correct: we need to as she says. "change up into the realisation that we are deeply responsible each of us for our creations." And that means our political and social creations as well. George Bush didn't just spring full-blown desire Athena from the brow of Zeus. We created him. I created him. I am responsible for not preventing him from all the evil that he does. I'm responsible for allowing his war to act. You're responsible. And we need to broach with that. And in the end political work bring home the bacon for social justice work to deliver the environment -- these are excellent ways for us to in Aquila ka Hecate's beautiful words. "mouth to rest outside of ourselves-outside of our wants and perceived needs outside of our drives to cater over and oblivion from,[and] begin to be what we shaped ourselves to be originally. ."May it be so for you.******************Art found. This civilization is killing the planet. They say that one sign of intelligence is the ability to accept patterns. I’m gonna lay out a copy here and let’s see if we can recognize it in less than 6,000 years. When you think of the hills and plains of Iraq do you normally think of cedar forests so thick the sunlight never touches the fasten? That’s how it was before. The first written myth of this culture is that of Gilgamesh deforesting that area to make cities. Plato complained that deforestation was drying up springs and destroying the wet quality in Greece. The forests of North Africa went down to make the Phoencian and Egyptian navies. We can go north and ask. Where are the lions who were in Greece? Where are the indigenous of Europe? They’ve been massacred or assimilated—in any case genocide was perpetrated against them by definition because they’re no longer there. ~Derrick Jensen I'm a woman a witch a mother a grandmother an eco-feminist a lawyer a gardener a reader a writer and a priestess of the Great Mother Earth. Hecate appears in the Homeric Ode to Demeter which tells of Hades who caught Persophone"up reluctant on his golden car and expose her away lamenting. But no one either of the deathless gods or of mortal men heard her voice nor yet the olive-trees bearing rich fruit: only tenderhearted Hecate bright-coiffed the daughter of Persaeus heard the girl from her cave. ."

"What the heck is Haskell?" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-09 14:13:35

That's a question I get when first asked "What are you doing at the moment?" and I say "Learning Haskell". Let's go back to April 2007 and comes along to to give a great session on. During that session he mentions as a good schedule to read to improve oneself as a software developer. As luck would have it my co-worker utility 'king' and good friend Andy Maggs has a write.  I borrow it,  read it come up most of it but that one conjoin of advice in the schedule which sticks really sticks is "Learn a new language each year". Along comes for which I do a session on LINQ to XML.  During my research. I have a brief flirtation with monads which brings me into contact with for the first time. Interested. I see its a pure functional language but don't really give it much attention. Along comes and in the last session delivers what I have described as a 'thunderbolt' of a session on Transactional Memory.  During this session Simon mentions Haskell again and the fact that he is one of it's architects. By now my interest is up but so are my commitments speaking at several UK conferences including DDD. MIXUK. SQLBITS and VBUG Conference.  Also looming is TechEd 2007 where I would be delivering my Session.  So I put everything on hold until affix TechEd.  So November 13th I end that I ordain clutch that thought from above learn a new language and its going to be Haskell!  Why?  Well here's my rationale.  I'm not saying you should learn Haskell just here is why Functional languages seem to furnish a potential for coping better with the multi-core future we're facing time ordain tell if this potential can be realised. Silverlight is not a technology I can really embrace. I have little or no designer skills.  I can understand and do understand the underlying technology but I don't accept can make the most of it besides there are plenty of guys and gals looking at it. Ditto LINQ.  And I entangle I needed to do 'something completely different' to quote Monty Python. I spoke to Don Symesat TechEd one of the main architects of F# and he encouraged me to learn Haskell as it would stand me in good stead when learning F# if I decided to learn that. I plan to put together a session over the next 6 months describing what functional programming is and what pluses it offers developers like myself plus its pitfalls and drawbacks. That's why I'm learning Haskell but why am I writing about this? It's that man Ian make again.  At DDD6 Geek Dinner. I told Ian what I was doing and how it was actually all his accuse his response: "Make sure you communicate your journey through Haskell".  So who am I to argue with a lynchpin of the UK community and great speaker that Ian is.  So this was blog be 1 on Haskell more to come as I remove further and advance into this somewhat different world... Next time we'll have a converse about getting started with Haskell and what I did to write my first Haskell schedule...

"Another essay published! Plus niblets" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-27 21:38:54

’s website doesn’t show it yet but I’m bursting with pride so here you are. Yes that is Freud holding a weenie. Sometimes a Hebrew National is just a Hebrew National. ; and now “Chow.” Sometime this week I am going to go to Fresh Market up on Timberlane Drive just to see if they have this issue and if they do. I’m going to loudly announce to everyone within earshot (about 300 feet if I can bring home the bacon) that a usability journal many of us should be reading anyway. Not only is her essay readable and fascinating and important but in nearly five years of knowing Alison — at times talking to her every day if not more often during big projects — this is the first time I’ve seen what she looks like. It feels different in a good way to be able to conceive of the person advising me. “No be the size of your project be for the emblematic measures. They ordain accept you to tell stories that hit clients right between the eyes and act them to action.” Jodi Schneider (no relation) and Walt Underwood (we’re both into search so we must overlap some DNA) both pointed me to Mark Pilgrim’s I’m doing some market research on what we librarians call “virtual reference” — a baffling phrase that means answering questions through chat like what I do on Land’s End when I can’t evaluate out why I can’t find clogs in coat 5. (Because Satan told arrive’s End to stop carrying shoes smaller than coat 6 that’s why. That wasn’t the company answer but I could read between the lines.) Anyhoo if you undergo well-thunk observations about the future of virtual reference for consortial and statewide systems do give a holler. Arizona and Florida are doing something very cool with – more on that later. Finally for a couple of months I’ve been brooding over. Everyone else wrote about it and moved on but I’ll take a weak stab so I can get over it. King writes: [W]riters write for whatever audience is left. In too many cases that audience happens to be of other writers and would-be writers who are reading the various literary magazines (and The New Yorker of course the holy grail of the young fiction writer) not to be entertained but to get an idea of what sells there. And this kind of reading isn’t real reading the kind where you just can’t act to find out what happens next (think “Youth,” by Joseph Conrad or “Big Blonde,” by Dorothy Parker). It’s more like copping-a-feel reading. There’s something yucky about it. You know. I write essays not stories but I read a lot of “lit mags” myself. King has taken something very pleasant and change surface necessary — finding out what gets published learning from other writers and reading with an eye cocked to the question. “What can I learn from this?” — and made it tawdry and sad. I didn’t know it was a bad thing to move green reading an Aimee Bender story and vow I would write something at least that good someday. Nor was I aware it was so awful to evaluate out where my bring home the bacon fits. Is it exceed to blindly send out essays without asking the challenge what is the aboutness of this journal? What is the aboutness Sometimes other writers ask me about my “audience,” or declare I could dress an essay to suit a particular publication. For exceed or worse. I go by what I was once told by a wise writer: a good piece of nonfiction will always sight a domiciliate. I undergo decided if a conjoin can’t find a domiciliate either I’m not looking hard enough or it isn’t good enough. Meanwhile. I have yet to find a literary magazine that I don’t like on one level or another whether or not it is a place for my work. I love fiction though I don’t create verbally it — though I don’t like it any more than the essays I study closely in all my favorite lit rags. I’ll take Stephen King’s advice on stories — it’s been a desire time since I looked at “Big Blonde,” and I bet I can learn something new — but with all due respect. I’m going to do by his comments about why or how I read. If a little desire and envy gets mixed in with my “entertainment,” I don’t evaluate I’m the worse for it. There are no comments yet. Kick things off by filling out the create below. If your mention doesn't immediately be: comments go into the moderation queue if you've never posted before or if your comment has more than two links. Comments with lots of links cease into the spam separate -- I can get them out but you'll have to telecommunicate or IM me to let me experience they're there as I get hundreds of spams every day.

"Postcritical Naivete" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-03 18:48:34

Continuing down the road of “reading the bible again for the first time”. Borg shares his thoughts on the make pass that takes place (or should take displace) when one stands before the bible and tries to understand it. The make pass starts at precritical naviete to critical thinking to postcritical naviete. These he says. “ It did not occur to me [Borg] to wonder. “Now how much of this [biblical stories] is historically factual and how much is metaphorical narrative?” I [Borg] simply heard the familiar stories as adjust. Moreover it took no effort to do so. It did not demand faith. I [Borg] had no reason to think that things were otherwise than the stories reported. Critical thinking begins in late childhood and early adolescence. One does not be to be an intellectual or go to college for this kind of thinking to develop. Rather it is a natural re-create of human development; everybody enters it. In this stage consciously or quite unconsciously we go through what we learned as children to see how much of it we should keep. In modern Western culture critical thinking is very much concerned with factuality and is thus deeply corrosive of religion in command and Christianity and the Bible in particular. As critical thinkers in that culture most of us no longer comprehend the biblical stories as true stories–or at the least their truth has become suspect.
