The New-Look Lucky New York Jets
Hey haters, it is time for talk about the Jets being "lucky" to stop.
By Joe Caporoso Nov 17, 2010, 5:15pm EST
Share All sharing options for: The New-Look Lucky New York Jets
The primary question being asked about the New York Jets this week is if they are lucky or good.
The correct answer is: it doesn't matter.
In case you haven't noticed there is no elite team in the NFL. The Patriots? They lost to the Jets and got smacked around by a 3-6 Cleveland team. The Falcons? They were stomped in Philadelphia...without Mike Vick under center and lost in Pittsburgh. The Ravens? They lost to those same Falcons, along with the Patriots, and the lowly Bengals. The Steelers? They were handled at home by New England and also couldn't defend their turf to the Ravens. As we know, the Jets lost at home to both the Ravens and Packers in somewhat embarrassing fashion.
You get the picture? In the 2010 NFL season, you take every win you can get. This is the type of year where we could be settling in wild-card weekend to watch Chicago in St. Louis, followed the Raiders hosting a playoff game with the Tampa Bay Bucs playing the next day. Who in the world could have saw that coming? The league is wide open this year, which is why victories in Detroit, Denver, and Cleveland who have a combined record of 8-25 is nothing to scoff at.
Keep in mind that Denver team has beaten three teams who currently have winning records: Seattle, Tennessee and Kansas City. Cleveland has beat both the defending Super Bowl Champions and the 7-2 Patriots by double digits. Detroit hasn't been a walkover for anybody this year and has two victories by double digits at home.
So, why are we so quick to criticize the Jets as "lucky" for taking care of business and finding ways to win football games? The ability to come up with plays in big spots and the knowledge of how to win close games are the exact kind of traits that could be a difference in a year like this.
We get it. The football world is sick of Rex Ryan and his Hard Knocking, loud-talking New York Jets. They were pumping their fists in glee when they dropped their opener at home and talking loudly about a potential 0-2 or 0-3 start.
Unfortunately for them they have been twisting their faces in disappointment just about every week since then. Mark Sanchez, the quarterback everybody loves to bash, has played above everybody's expectations, starting with outdueling Tom Brady in Week 2. The Jets then showed their first signs of knowing how to finish games when they intercepted the overhyped Chad Henne late in the fourth quarter to clinch a Week 3 win.
Letdown game against Buffalo? Didn't happen. Brett Favre ripping the hearts out of Jets fans by beating them on a last second drive in his own building? Sorry, Dwight Lowery took him back to the house to clinch another win. A reality check in Denver? Sanchez overcame a poor start and led them to a game winning drive. Cry about the pass interference all you want but Renaldo Hill grabbed Santonio Holmes' facemask, a flag has to be thrown there.
Sure, the Jets had their home hiccup against Green Bay and it looked like it was turning into a mid-season slide as they trailed Detroit 20-10 with five minutes to go in the 4th quarter. Nope, Sanchiz led them down the field for two consecutive scores and then put the game on ice in overtime by finding Holmes for a 52-yard completion.
Everybody loved Cleveland last week in their own building coming off their whooping of New England. It turns out the Jets completely dominated the game after a slow start. As a matter of fact, they held the ball for 47 minutes altogether and nearly ran 100 plays. Somehow, thanks mostly to their kicker, Cleveland still had them in overtime. What did the Jets do? They overcame another missed kick, got the stop they needed and then that Holmes guy made another big play. Game Over. Jets, 7-2.
Complain about luck all you want, it is music to the Jets ears as they keep racking up victories. The team that was supposed to win with defense and running the football, hasn't even consistently done it that well but can still find other ways to win. As of right now, they lead the league in wins, know how to win close games, have a quarterback playing a high level, a very good offensive line, two game breaking receivers, a big time tight end, an elite run defense, and one of the best cornerback duos in the league. In the 2010 NFL, that is pretty damn good.

Q: UIScreen mainScreen bounds.size.height always 1024 Why would [UIScreen mainScreen].bounds.size.height always return 1024 no matter what layout mode the iPad app is in?
I am trying to have a custom view dynamically generated based on layout mode and I always get a height of 1024 back?
+ (CGRect)rectForView {
NSLog(@"The height is %f", [UIScreen mainScreen].bounds.size.height );
return CGRectMake( 0.0f, 0.0f, [[UIScreen mainScreen]bounds].size.width, (([UIScreen mainScreen].bounds.size.height ) - 100));
}

A: This is correct functionality for the bounds and I believe it returns the size of the screen in the orientation it was launched. You will need to look at viewController or navigation controller for the appropriate size of the frame which is dependent on the orientation.

A: Here is what I did to fix it.
+ (CGRect)rectForView {

if (UIInterfaceOrientationIsLandscape([[UIDevice currentDevice] orientation])) {

    return CGRectMake( 0.0f, 0.0f, [[UIScreen mainScreen]bounds].size.height, (([UIScreen mainScreen].bounds.size.width ) - 100));

}

NSLog(@"The height is %f", [UIScreen mainScreen].bounds.size.height );
return CGRectMake( 0.0f, 0.0f, [[UIScreen mainScreen]bounds].size.width, (([UIScreen mainScreen].bounds.size.height ) - 100));
}

A: It always returns the coordinates in Portrait mode. You have to change it if you have another orientation.
UIScreen *screen = [UIScreen mainScreen];
CGRect screenRect = screen.bounds; // implicitly in Portrait orientation.

if (UIDeviceOrientationIsLandscape(orientation)) {
    CGRect temp;
    temp.size.width = screenRect.size.height;
    temp.size.height = screenRect.size.width;
    screenRect = temp;
}

The above code is directly taken from OLGhostAlertView.m which is a free alert view available online, but it gives you an idea as to how to get the coorect coordinates.

Franz Theodor Schütt, auch Franz Schütt, (* 15. Dezember 1908 in Berlin; † 28. Dezember 1990 in Wiesbaden) war ein deutscher Maler, Graphiker und Bildhauer im Stil der Neuen Sachlichkeit und des Spätexpressionismus.
Franz Theodor Schütt – Zwei sitzende Mädchen, Kunstpostkarte Externer Weblink

Leben
Schütt wurde von seinem Vater, dem Maler und Kunstschullehrer Franz Friedrich Christian Schütt (1874–1962) in Malen und Zeichnen unterrichtet. Bereits mit 20 Jahren nahm Franz Theodor Schütt an einer Ausstellung in der Berliner Akademie sowie an der Biennale in Monza teil.
In den Jahren 1925 bis 1931 erhielt er von Kurt Schwerdtfeger Unterricht in den Fächern Bildhauerei und Keramikkunst in Stettin, wo er mit seinem Kommilitonen Siegfried Poppe befreundet war, der später als Kunstsammler auch Schütts Werk förderte. Bis 1931 studierte Schütt Innenarchitektur an der Kunstgewerbeschule Stettin bei Gregor Rosenbauer und München, um anschließend bis 1940 als freischaffender Künstler in Stettin zu arbeiten.
1934 stellte Schütt zusammen mit Max Pechstein, Willi Jaeckel und Kurt Schwerdtfeger kurzzeitig Werke in Köslin aus bis die Ausstellung aus politischen Gründen geschlossen wurde. Schütt musste dann 1937 Stettin verlassen und ging zusammen mit seinem Künstlerfreund Mac Zimmermann nach Danzig, wo er auf dem Bau arbeitete.

Im Jahr 1940 plante er vergeblich eine Flucht aus Deutschland nach Brasilien, wurde dann aber zum Militärdienst eingezogen. Ein Bombenangriff auf Stettin im Jahr 1943 vernichtete Schütts gesamtes Vorkriegswerk, das aus fast 1000 Bildern, Zeichnungen, Grafiken und Skulpturen bestand. Im Jahr 1945 geriet Schütt auf den Kanalinseln in Britische Kriegsgefangenschaft.

Im Jahr 1947 zog Schütt zu seiner Schwester, die in Frankfurt am Main lebte, und heiratete 1948 die Künstlerin Annelise Lüer, eine Jugendfreundin aus der Werkkunstschule in Stettin.

Anschließend lebte Schütt ab 1950 als freier Künstler Wiesbaden und lehrte in den Jahren 1971 bis 1978 an der TH Darmstadt. Für sein Engagement für die Schaffung einer Künstlersozialkasse erhielt er das Bundesverdienstkreuz. Im Dezember 1990 starb Schütt im Alter von 82 Jahren. Er wurde auf dem Biebricher Friedhof beerdigt.

Mitgliedschaften
Schütt war ab 1916 Mitglied des Pommerschen Künstlerbundes. Im Jahr 1965 begründete Schütt mit anderen Künstlern die Künstler-Gruppe REAL in Wiesbaden.

Werk

Stil
In den 30er Jahre des 20. Jahrhunderts erfuhr Schütt Anregungen durch den Verismus eines George Grosz, Otto Dix und Rudolf Schlichter und entwickelt einen primär zeichnerischen Stil, was ihn zu einem der wichtigen Vertretern der Neuen Sachlichkeit werden ließ. Auch Alexander Kanoldt und Schütts Freund Mac Zimmermann hatten "bestimmenden Einfluss" auf Schütts Werk.

In den 50er Jahre des 20. Jahrhunderts lösten dann "starkfarbige, flächige und sehr reduzierte Temperaarbeiten, mit denen der bis dahin stark an die Linie gebundene Zeichner" sich "mittels der Farbe (neue) Ausdrucksmöglichkeiten erarbeitet(e)." Neben realistischen Bildentwürfen tragen viele Motive in dieser Zeit auch teilweise surreale Züge. Hierbei bleibt die Formensprache Schütts realistisch, sein Werk ist vom Zeitgeist der Abstraktion unberührt.

Die 70er Jahre des 20. Jahrhunderts sind geprägt durch einen Rückgriff auf die Landschaft als Motiv, wobei der Gedanken der Umweltproblematik hinzutritt.

Motive
Neben Landschaften, Straßenansichten, Interieurs und Mädchen- und Frauenbildnissen durchzog das Motiv der Dirnen, seinen sog. frivolen Mädchen bzw. Szenen im Bordell und Motive der Dreigroschenoper das gesamte Werk.

Techniken
Im Laufe seines künstlerischen Schaffens nutzte Schütt folgende Techniken: Bleistift- und Federzeichnungen, Radierungen, Ölgemälde, Heliogravüre, Tempera, Aquarelltechnik und Holzschnitt.

Werkverzeichnis
Ein Werkverzeichnis Schütts ist Gegenstand der 2005 erschienenen Dissertation von Sonny Kaiser–Laznicka, die unter dem Titel Der Maler und Graphiker Franz Theodor Schütt (1908–1990) an der Johann Wolfgang Goethe-Universität Frankfurt am Main angenommen wurde.

Bewertung des Werks
Franz Theodor Schütt "hat ein umfangreiches und eigenständiges Werk geschaffen", wobei er "nicht innovativ", aber "sehr wandlungsfähig" war. Sein Realismus war nicht als "beißende Anklage" zu verstehen, sondern "eher eine unterschwellige Kritik", mit der er "die Eitelkeit und Rücksichtslosigkeit der Menschen" kritisierte, wobei er "mit den Schwächeren unserer Gesellschaft" fühlte. "In vielen Arbeiten lag ein melancholischer Tenor", der Schütt "als Nachfahre der Spätexpressionisten" ausweist, "die ihre Kunst als ein aufklärendes Medium verstanden."

Würdigungen
Schütt erfuhr zahlreiche Anerkennung durch Auszeichnungen und Einzelausstellungen; seine Werke sind in zahlreichen Museen vertreten.
 1976: Bürgermedaille der Landeshauptstadt Wiesbaden in Silber
 1979: Ehrengabe des Lovis-Corinth-Preises
 1980: Bundesverdienstkreuz am Bande
 1985: Kulturpreis der Landeshauptstadt Wiesbaden

Alex Marvez is gone* so I hope the next thing AEW ditches is the Casino Battle Royal. I'm thinking about it how we don't know about half the field in the match on Saturday, which means there's going to be 1-3 surprise people in each group of five people. Maybe there's another Road to coming tomorrow to announce a few more names, but it still seems like a not-great way to introduce new people to a crowd that's may not know them. I like new ideas and I like not having long royal rumbles but a match with a lot fewer people seems like a better idea than to marginalizing a lot of people.
* - and I thought there'd be a much bigger reaction to that news than there was.

Anyone know if you order on B/R live if you get on demand replays or is it just the one time stream? Probably not gonna be able to see the beginning of the show, but would still like to watch some of it tonight.

Gauging some of the response around the internet...I guess people are calling ALL OUT a "good" show...
...then why do I feel like this was a great show?
Everything was really good to great. Show was a bit long, but...everything delivered.
re: the time...WWE has kind of devalued pay per views...having people flop down $50 for a pay per view when WWE gives "them" away for $10 a month. At some point, you need to balance quality of the show, length of the show, etc to make that $50 accessible and worth it to people. I'm not sure in 2019 you can get people to put $50 in volume for PPVs that are 2.5h with a bunch of average matches. Good to great bell-to-bell with some length to the show seems to be the value proposition.
...and yes. Everyone has been saying PAC wrong the entire time.
Only reason I knew this was because Excalibur has pointed it out many times during PWG shows.

I agree with BoxingRobes, I thought ALL OUT was a great show overall. All of the matches felt distinct from each other and I thought most of them delivered at or above expectations. The show did feel a bit dragged out and I still think the commentary is problematic. Golden Boy actually did a pretty great job, but he and Excalibur both doing play by play seems redundant, and JR's commentary style these days is basically him doing a (largely negative) live reaction review of the show he's watching. Aside from that I thought the presentation of the show was great and the wrestling was mostly very good to excellent.
It was bizarre to see Omega/Pac go on so early in the show (did Pac have to get an early flight back to England or something?) but the match was awesome and I thought Pac's submission finisher was really cool (I haven't seen much of his recent Dragon Gate/European indies run, so I don't know if this is something he's been using for a while or if it's new). I think Kenny losing was the right call. If his IWGP Title run was any indication then I'd say he's much more compelling clawing his way to the top than he is being on top, so I kind of hope they keep up this streak of him losing his biggest matches for a while.
I'm not a big fan of plunder matches in general but I really enjoyed the Cracker Barrel Clash. Definitely my favorite of the handful of hardcore-style matches that AEW has done so far, with tons of totally insane spots. I also got a lot of amusement out of them advertising Cracker Barrel with a picture of their fried chicken dinner right before they went to replays of people getting thumb tacks stuffed into their mouths.
Riho/Shida was solid but I hope that once TV starts they give the Joshi some storylines and don't just kind of randomly throw them out there. So far the Joshi have been able to get the live crowd into their matches by the closing stretch, but the matches have started out pretty quiet. Riho vs. Nyla Rose seems like a great choice for the first Women's Title match. The smallest woman in the division vs. the largest. I think Rose has a lot of potential as the monster heel of the division.
The Cody/Spears match was fun and had a great atmosphere like all of Cody's AEW singles matches so far. (Although, as someone who has to get their dog anti-anxiety medication every year for distant July 4th fireworks, I have to say that I cringed a little when Cody and Brandi had their dog so close to pyro during their entrance). The match really did nothing for Shawn Spears though. In addition to surprisingly taking the loss I just thought he did nothing to come off like a star. It felt like you could've had any competent pro in their opposite Cody and with all the other crazy bells and whistles of the match and it would've come off just as well. I also find the extended tease of MJF turning on Cody to be a little bizarre. Isn't he already the promotion's No. 2 heel (behind Jericho)?
I know that people are sick of seeing The Young Bucks and The Lucha Bros. face each other, and I'm personally sick of ladder matches as a general rule, but goddamn that match was an incredible spectacle. Some of the bumps were just absolutely disgusting, like that Canadian Destroyer off the top of ladders through a table. I hope that Matt Jackson isn't dead and/or paralyzed after some of the abuse he took toward the end of that match.
Jericho/Page was pretty good and definitely helped in the drama department by the accidental cut above Jericho's eye. I also liked the touch of having Aubrey Edwards officiate the match. I think she has potential as the sort of Red Shoes-equivalent star referee of the promotion. (Her impovisation in the Joshi match at Double or Nothing where she scolded the person who accidentally rang the bell is one of my favorite AEW moments so far). Some of the stuff with Jericho reversing Page's signature moves into Codebreakers looked really good too.

I finally got around to watching the show today, and I'm still surprised at how much I liked it. Even the matches I didn't like that much (Cody/Spears, BFFs/Dark Order) had moments that made them worth watching. I really liked Jericho v. Page a lot. I always seem to go high on Jericho matches this year, but I thought they both did great work and Jericho finally stopped repeating all of his shitheel spots from the New Japan matches.
I loved the opening trios match, the Cracker Barrel triple threat felt like a GCW all-star game (in a really good way) and PAC/Omega overdelivered after the internet tempered my expectations. I'm hype on AEW again after Fight for the Fallen took some of the wind out of my sails. Great show.

Respectfully disagree with the "great" analysis and would say enjoyed Takeover: Cardiff more.
There was great and close to great stuff on the show (the six man, the joshi match and the Laddr match), but compared to previous efforts, I found the show lacking the "specialness" that previous shows had. I was disappointed in the Omega/Pac and the Cody/Spears matches for different reasons. The former never clicked at the level of past Omega matches (a non-discussed point with Kenny is that he is definitely past his peak from last year) while the latter focussed on outside forces rather than Spears. Cody winning, while understandable, ended up leaving Spears as the "good hand" he was called.
I also think if the price point remains, I'm not going to be an automatic buy unless there's a compelling match or two on the show. The TV will also tell the tale about how invested I remain.

I didn't say it was a SPECIAL show, I just thought it was great. Why? Because I didn't think there was anything close to a DUD (think the lowest fare I had on the card was like *** fare)...and there were numerous ****+ type matches on the show. That, to me, is a great show every time. It was NOT special, but I thought great.
For reference...I had Omega-Pac in that ****1/4 area and the Cody-Spears match in like the ***1/4-***1/2 type range. I dont think either disappointed me. Thats about what I expected going in.
As for your other comments on the matches...I don't disagree that Kenny Omega is a step or two behind standard from last year...I am not sure if that is by design or he really just has a lot going on and not giving these matches big efforts (I dont think any of his matches have warranted the escalation of traditional Kenny matches, but that is for another thread). I also think that he's in a holding pattern for now. Being used to elevate some talent and get them established (Moxley and PAC...not terrible Ls that will likely be program Ws for Omega when they push him). As for the Cody match...I get the feeling that a lot of this is going to result in some sort of faction being formed by guys like Spears, MJF, maybe Dustin against Cody. I have a feeling there are bigger things at play for Cody's programs and they are all inconnected. We'll see.
Back to the price point discussion...I dont think people will plop down $50 if the standard is NXT Takeover shows. Like...2h to 2.5h shows with a few killer matches. I just don't know if people in 2019 think that is a value proposition, even if the shows are homeruns like most Takeovers. My opinion...if people are going to be asked to pay $50 for these big events...I think theyll have to be a bit bloated and the matches, too, bloated up a bit, to justify the price. It seems that they won't have a ton of these $50 asks over the course of a calendar year, but its something to take notice of moving forward. I, like you, will not be a customer to count on for these events...they are getting by with a lot of good will from me right now, but that wears off very quickly.

Cody is right now the biggest star they have if you gauge things by crowd reaction, so it is going to be hard to avoid getting him into the world title picture soon, maybe as soon as the next PPV. I just didn't think the match did much for either guy and given that Cody is pretty bulletproof for now, I wish they'd have given Spears some shine.
Since they're doing quarterly shows, I would certainly expect shows to be on the longer, four hour or more length and be filled with as many big matches as possible. And as long as they are appealing and deliver, they should be fine. The issue is when you can get your AEW fix weekly as of October, are you really missing out if you miss a PPV? How soon until they consider some OTT service to expand their profit centers? And will any of the stars cross over to "superstar" level and will any of the guys with potential become stars? Lots of ifs, lots of maybes and lots to speculate about for sure.

I agree with pretty much everything you said.
I do hope that Cody stays out of the title picture for a while. I like my wrestling to not ALWAYS involve titles. I think what Cody's set up with Dustin, MJF, and Spears...couple it now with some of the old Horsemen (has been done tastefully so far) is a nice respite from the mania that is the undercard (battle royals, multi-man spot fests, tag team spot fests, joshi, etc) and jump back in to this STORY before we get to the big main events. I'd love to see Cody stay in this position for a while telling this seemingly long form story that looks like its going to try and elevate and establish a ton of guys at once.
Its also so different from everything else and done with more TLC than anything else they are doing.

a non-discussed point with Kenny is that he is definitely past his peak from last year
The guy has only had 7 matches total this year, per Cagematch. That includes the incredible main event he had against Tanahashi at Wrestle Kingdom in January. And two of the four singles matches were against dudes who are over 40. But still, every one of his singles matches this year is pretty universally considered at least "very good" per most reviewers.
I think this is non-discussed because it's simply false, and he hasn't had nearly as many opportunities as in years past.

When you're self referentially called the "best bout machine," very good is a step down. I didn't say he was bad, I merely said he's past his peak. Could he return to it? Sure. But, honestly, judging by his output, I'm not sure he has the capacity or the opponents to do so.

So far AEW has been able to keep my interest from show to show. I purchased Double Or Nothing and All Out and, despite the fact they are outrageously priced in the Network era (not that they can help it) I came away feeling like I got my money's worth. Every show has delivered to me, some have exceeded expectations. Initially I thought All Out was a bit of a disappointment because it didn't have that huge, truly special moment that I was hoping for. But really, with the expectations I set, the only thing that was going to fulfill them was CM Punk debuting, which was always a long shot. Now that I've had time to digest things, how can I be disappointed? Every match was good. The tag team ladder match was absolutely unbelievable. PAC got what I would consider to be a huge upset win over Omega. LAX debuted, further cementing AEW's tag team division as one of the best in the world. Hell, we got a AA Spinebuster from the man himself. It was a great show.
Cody Rhodes has been the big winner in AEW so far. Obviously, from a professional perspective, he's already achieved something pretty much unheard of with his promotion of All In and the formation of AEW. But as a wrestler, he's really shattering all expectations. A lot of people in the wrestling community have downplayed his post-WWE run and labeled him a mediocre wrestler. That may be the case, but he's found what works for him in AEW to make himself look truly elite. His match with Dustin will be one of the best or at least most memorable matches of the year, he had a great match with Darby that made Darby look like a star in the making, the Bucks tag match was solid and now this match with Spears was way more compelling than it had any right to be. I don't think many people could have foreseen a Cody/Spears feud being as good or interesting as it has been so far, but they've managed to pull it off. The match went off the rails with all the hijinks but up until the finish, they were really killing it imo. It doesn't hurt that Cody is like a God to AEW's faithful.
After Cody, the other guys who are really smashing it so far would be Darby Allin, MJF, Luchasaurus and Private Party. All came in to AEW as relative unknowns in comparison to guys like Cody, Chris, Kenny and The Bucks but they have star written all over them. Darby is already being built as the ultimate underdog, with a bit of Mick Foley influence. He can have great matches, cut a good promo and has the fans in his corner already. MJF is just crushing it as one of the finest heels in the business. Surely he'll turn on Cody down the road and that should be a major marquee feud. Luchasaurus immediately stands out of course. He has a marketable and distinct look which is valuable for a company like AEW who are going to need to create and keep fans. Then in between the ropes he does some awesome stuff that should help him climb the ladder even faster. I'm very interested in seeing him against guys like Kenny, PAC and Moxley. Then there's Private Party who I hadn't heard of at all before they debuted with AEW. They have magnetic personalities and an arsenal that will mesh perfectly with the rest of the teams in AEW. It might take a while, but I think they'll eventually reach the top of the division.
Return to "U.S./Canada Major League & Indie Wrestling"


The annual get-together for the Irish Learning Technology Association was held this year in Waterford IT. Unfortunately I could not attend the first day yesterday, but I rode down an almost empty M9 this morning to take part in the second day. Today's proceedings opened with the inspirational Lizbeth Goodman taking about disabilities, animation, video, dancing, and education. Really wonderful stuff showing how technology can enhance learning for disabled people.
I then attended a talk by Pearson Publishing about Technology in Action. This was very interesting (though a bit of a "Sales Pitch" as well) - I'd love to have some their assessment tools in NCI. Pearson continue to lead from the front in supporting academics and students. I asked a question about how students react to the use of Pearson tools and found that the responses was very positive. More of this I say!
Then it was my turn - I participated in the "Practice Exchange" session discussing "How come my brilliant idea didn't work?". This was about my failed effort to introduce text messaging into one of my classes. After lunch I delivered a workshop entitled "The Gadget Show" where I discussed and demonstrated using YouTube, Flickr, and Moodle in the classroom. I was happy with how this turned out - O2 provided us with an iPad 2, a Motorola Xoom (fantastic), and a Samsung Galaxy (too small). The main gadget was my iPhone.
Overall - I really enjoyed the day, though it went too fast. I really would have liked to attend on both days, and to have attended more talks. Well done to all in ILTA and WIT for putting on a great Conference. Next year in DCU?
Once again EdTech was very enjoyable. It's good to see more workshops and hands-on activities - fewer presentations. I would like to have seen the learning innovation that won Michael Seery the Jennifer Burke award. Like you I could not attend the whole conference. Lisbeth's work is inspirational. How does she find the time and energy? We are fortunate to have her in UCD.

Everybody Draw Mohammed Day
Did you watch South Park's 200th episode and its successor? If so, continue reading. If not, watch the two then come back with an understanding of the context.
Basically, the religion of peace is on its time of the month again and has again displayed its title as the motherlord of artistic criticism. To protect the legends that make South Park, the Internet has uptaken a safety in numbers approach to depict the prophet Muhammad in creative ways, ergo Everybody Draw Mohammed Day, ranging from the intentionally offensive to intentionally inoffensive. I'm not a fan of freedom of speech, if I came into power tomorrow there will be a lot quotas on speech but that's a different story. However, when an ideology comes to take this fundamental human right away from us with the threat of random violence, that's when I get mad.
Ladies(?) and gentlemen, let me give you exhibit A:
This is Muhammad, this is my impression, this is suspiciously similar to the 4chan face. Don't be a pussy, make your own.
As said, there are limits to free speech.
It's just disrespectful to the religion, it's part of the belief. You see how Christians often have pictures/statues of Jesus, Muslims don't do that of the Propher Muhammad (peace be upon him) because Muhammad didn't ever want to be worshipped. So for the billion Muslims who respect that rule and don't draw the Prophet (pbuh) it's just disrespectful for you to go and disobey that rule.
Why else would people draw the Prophet Muhammad's (pbuh) face unless they're intentionally trying to be disrespectful to the muslims?
TomRed link
I acknowledge that it is disrespectful to Islam. Islam prohibits depictions of Muhammad, I understand, that's fine. You can have that rule, but it is wrong to restrict our freedom of expression in depicting him because it is against Islam.
Say if I were a member of a religion that, I don't know, prohibited wearing shoes on Mondays due to a historical and symbolic reason, and wearing shoes would be highly disrespectful. Would you honestly think that it is right to impose that rule on everyone, whether or not they are members of that religion?
Freedom of expression is a fundamental human right, if you are going to dispute that then I am not going to argue with you further.
OK, say if instead what you are arguing for is that depicting Muhammad should not be allowed if it is intentionally disrespectful. It might not be very nice, in the same way that insulting your looks may not be, but the right of freedom of expression outweighs any hurt feelings here.
The whole point of this mass depiction day was to express the freedom of expression and to protect the creators of South Park for depicting Muhammad, watering down them as targets for death threats (which was a significant problem, especially due to the death of Theo van Gough). Some of them were intentionally offensive, some were drew as a stick figure to be intentionally inoffensive, but all of which were in the reasons stated above.
In general, some depictions are for humour (like the Danish cartoons), some are for other reasons (for example, the first time South Park depicted Muhammad was due to the Super Best Friends episode, using the major religious figures, and had nothing to do with intentionally depicting him).
I apologise about the length of the response but I hope you can be reasonable with me here. To summarise, I have my beliefs, you have yours. I won't impose on you, you won't impose on me.
I do completely understand freedom of speech.
The issue I have is the intention of the 'artist'; you seem to have considered my opinion that there intentions must have something to do with causing offense.
"It might not be very nice, in the same way that insulting your looks may not be, but the right of freedom of expression outweighs any hurt feelings here."
It would be fair for the victim in this case to be angry with the insulter (is that a word? :P). Really a Muslim should first be polite in their request for this not to occur, but if there is persistence on the other person's part, it's justifiable for Muslims to get angry, after all, the Prophet (pbuh) and Allah are more dear to them than anything else. Personally I think that the Prophet (pbuh) would have done this (i.e. politeness first). Let me give you an example (my narration isn't exact but the events are still there):
A man once entered the mosque and began to relieve himself (i.e. urinate). The Prophet (pbuh) told his companions, "Do not put a halt to his urinating, but instead leave him."
They left him alone until he finished urinating.
The Messenger of Allaah called him over and said to him, "Any kind of urine or filth is not suitable for these masjids. Instead they are only [appropriate] for the remembrance of Allaah, the Prayer, and the recitation of the Qur'aan," or this is near to what the Messenger of Allaah said.
He (saw) then issued an order to a man from the people, who then came with a bucket of water, which he poured over the [effected] area [of the maosque].
As you can see the Prophet was very tolerant, he didn't issue a death threat. SO, Muslims of today should also have this tolerance; perhaps they immediately react with anger because they thought these artists already knew of the Islamic stance on this issue.
The thing is it's a pervasive knowledge that Muslims really dislike images of the Prophet (pbuh); if the artists didn't know the first time, the muslims should merely tell them that this is wrong, and is not something appreciated by the Islamic community. If it persisted then of course you're intentionally offending the Muslims.
With regards to your example of a religion that "prohibited wearing shoes on Mondays", that's quite a different issue. Your speaking of things which everybody has something to do with (i.e. the shoe). For example, in Islam we don't eat pork, we don't prohibit non-muslims from that because it doesn't affect us, you have freedom in that issue. The Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) is intrinsically linked to Islam, there is no practical need for a non-muslim to ever make him a source of jest by disrespecting him, why do you HAVE to use the Prophet (pbuh) is there no other figure you can use without causing offense?
I hope I haven't angered you at all, that was not my intention.
Also with regards to freedom of speech, even that has it's issues, ( I largely agree with it) let me give you an example:
A group of people decided to march around the US screaming severely racist insult about Martin Luther King; what reaction exactly would you expect on the part of the African community, no wait, almost everybody would have strong reactions and I wouldn't be suprised with death threats.
Again, I myself don't agree with death threats for those who draw the Prophet (pbuh) but I completely understand why they're there.
MY apologies for the third comment without response, but with regards to freedom of speech I think I gave the wrong impression.
People during the time of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) did insult him profusely. I've heard of people who would follow the Prophet (peace be upon him) whilst he was teaching people about Islam, the Prophet (peace be upon him) didn't attack these people, he simply ignored it.
So now, after pondering the issue I disagree completely with the death threats and think that these Muslims are forgetting the manners of the person they're trying to defend. I am still angered by the drawings and still agree completely with any non-violent statements against them.
And a fourth post! I just read your summary "I have my beliefs, you have yours. I won't impose on you, you won't impose on me."
This is very much an Islamic teaching ;) There is a chapter in the Qur'an called, Al-Kafiroon, it goes like this:
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Say: O ye that reject Faith! (1) I worship not that which ye worship, (2) Nor will ye worship that which I worship. (3) And I will not worship that which ye have been wont to worship, (4) Nor will ye worship that which I worship. (5) To you be your Way, and to me mine. (6)
-Translated by Yusuf Ali
SO, Muslims should not force others not to draw the Prophet (peace be upon him), they should try to stop them non-violently, with words and also they shouldn't be pleased with it.
I'll be brief to conclude this. I'm essentially arguing for it to be ALLOWED for people to depict Muhammad, criticise Islam, even spit at the fact of Islam. Consequently, Muslims should be allowed to express their anger (verbally, obviously). Of course, it may not be right to depict Muhammad to only intentionally piss of the Islamic community, but it'd be worse to restrict the right of freedom of expression in such a case.
Legitimate criticism of Islam is only healthy, as with criticism of everything.
I don't think South Park did it to intentionally offend. I believe they picked on the idea of the media's impotence in criticising Muhammad (or Islam for that matter) and applied it to their habit of making fun out of celebrities. The purpose of Everybody Draw Mohammed Day was, I think:
1. To express the right of freedom of speech.
2. To water down the death threats to the creators of South Park.
3. A bit of fun.
Funnily enough, your verse on your fourth post was discussed here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NyNQ1zc-q74
Ok now I see our only real point of clash is which we prioritize.
You say freedom of speech outweighs intentional offense.
I say there is no point to intentionally offend someone so why do it in the first place?
To be honest I despise most South Park episodes for that reason anyway.
As for South Park, I could get offended if they played on something that personally affected me, but the chances are I'd still watch them because they're funny.


Care and Treatment Reviews (CTR) have been developed as part of NHS England's commitment to transforming the services for people with learning disabilities and/ or autism who display behaviour that challenges, including those with a mental health condition.
for people who do need specialist hospital care – to ensure they have a care plan with clear outcomes from the start, that focuses on transferring them back to a community setting as soon as they are ready, to prevent unnecessarily lengthy hospital stays.
The CTR team involves the commissioner and two expert advisors – an individual or family member with experience of learning disability services (an 'expert by experience') and an independent clinician – to ensure that care plans meet individuals' needs. It also involves those who are providing their current care. Following the CTR, the review team makes recommendations, with follow-up checks to ensure the activity is being delivered.
The individual and their family are central to any decisions about their care, and an 'expert by experience' brings their 'lived experience' to the review team.

What is Hyperacusis?
The lack of consistency in defining hyperacusis is frustrating for researchers and patients alike. The following are the most common definitions for terms related to hyperacusis and decreased sound tolerance.
Decreased Sound Tolerance- Present when every day sounds cause a negative reaction. This includes most of the conditions listed below.
Hyperacusis- Present when every day sounds are perceived as being uncomfortably loud or cause physical pain. Negative reactions to sound caused by something other than uncomfortable loudness or pain (e.g. fear, distortion, tinnitus, annoyance) is not defined as hyperacusis. Misuse of the term "hyperacusis" is common.
There is a push to replace the often misused "hyperacusis" with "pain hyperacusis" and "loudness hyperacusis" (Tyler 2014). This adds clarity to the meaning of the terms and splits into subtypes where detailed mechanisms will surely have differences. While these two types generally occur together, there is a portion of hyperacusis patients that present loudness hyperacusis without pain and a portion that present pain hyperacusis without increased loudness sensation.
Pain Hyperacusis- Present when sounds trigger pain in the ear below common pain thresholds (120 dB).
Loudness Hyperacusis- Present when moderately intense sounds are perceived as being uncomfortably loud.
The term hearing sensitivity is discouraged as the meaning is ambiguous and it can inaccurately suggests the ability to detect sounds that others cannot hear.
Misophonia- Present when everyday sounds cause a negative emotional reaction. Examples of emotions that can be triggered from sound include annoyance, rage and fear. Other researchers wish to drop usage of the term misophonia and instead split this into fear hyperacusis and annoyance hyperacusis in order to to simplify naming and make the terms easier to interpret by the general public.
Phonophobia- Present when everyday sounds cause fear (subset of misophonia). Other researchers wish to call this fear hyperacusis in order to make the term easier to interpret by the general public. For some, this is more directly linked to a fear of re-injury or long-term setback.
Vestibular Hyperacusis- Present when everyday sounds induce disordered balance or vertigo. This is commonly referred to as Tullio's Phenomenon.
Reactive Tinnitus- Present when everyday sounds increase tinnitus activity. This is not a term used in research literature but commonly used by tinnitus patients. Winding-up and kindling are terms sometimes used to describe similar effects.
Distortion from Sound- Present when everyday sounds become distorted. Can cause a negative reaction to loud sounds.
Diplacusis- Generally occurs when one ear has sustained more damage than the other.
Diplacusis Dysharmonica- Present when a tone is perceived normally in one ear but at a different pitch in the other ear. This is the most common form of diplacusis.
Diplacusis Echoica- Present when the timing of tones is slightly different in each ear. The same sound is repeated as an echo.
Diplacusis Binauralis- Present when same sound is perceived differently in each ear. This may be a change in pitch or timing.
Diplacusis Monauralis- Present when one ear hears the same tone as two different sounds.
Acoustic Shock- Acoustic shock is the alteration of auditory function that results from an adverse response to a sudden, unexpected noise event. Tinnitus, hyperacusis, and tonic tensor tympani syndrome (TTTS) are examples of symptoms that can occur as part of acoustic shock.
What is Loudness Recruitment?
Loudness recruitment is not fundamentally related to decreased sound tolerance or hyperacusis. Loudness recruitment is present when sensorineural hearing loss results in an abnormal growth in loudness perception. With pure recruitment, loudness discomfort levels are normal. Soft sounds are perceived at a reduced intensity while loud sounds are perceived at a normal intensity when compared to those with normal hearing. Loudness recruitment can be thought of as an earplug that gradually disappears as sound gets louder. Loudness recruitment leads to the somewhat paradoxical but common request of people to "speak louder" followed by the complaint to "stop shouting" due to the unexpectedly large change in loudness.
Those with recruitment may also develop hyperacusis. Hyperacusis symptoms of those with recruitment are often imprecisely described as recruitment symptoms.
Recruitment is expected to be a cochlear phenomenon as it is frequency selective and often occurs unilaterally. As described in Potential Mechanisms, there is debate as to whether hyperacusis shares these traits.

Last weekend Seattle got its first taste of fall weather. A brisk thunderstorm doused the city, heralding more wet days to come. As much as I hate to see summer coming to an end, the turn in the weather put me in the perfect mood to read a ghost story.
With a cup of tea in hand, I picked up "Dolly" by English author Susan Hill. Hill is known for her Gothic novella "The Woman in Black" that was adapted in 2012 and stared Daniel Radcliffe.
I'm a complete Susan Hill addict, so I was excited to get my hands on this story. Like Hill's other creepy, atmospheric novellas, "Dolly" didn't disappoint. It's very hard for me to read books in one sitting, but Hill always lures me in with her creepy details and elegant English prose. Just like "The Woman in Black," once I opened the book, I read through right till the end.
"Dolly" follows Edward, an orphaned boy who goes to stay with his Aunt Kestrel in the fens of the English countryside. Kestrel's home is full of all the Gothic tropes one can expect, along with a cranky housekeeper who doesn't like children for good measure. The story's suspense heightens when Edward's cousin Lenora comes to stay for the summer. The red-haired beauty has an admiration for Indian china dolls but also has a very peculiar dark side.
Also in true Hill style, just like "The Woman in Black," the innocent main character who tries to help the evil characters, does not come out unscathed. This reoccurring theme in addition to children being subjected to some type of supernatural malevolence, is one of the reasons Hill's stories are so chilling.
Well-crafted with a slow-burned pace, this story is perfect for "Turn of the Screw" fans. The writing harkens back to the 19th and 20th century masters of the ghost story, making Hill one of the greatest Gothic writers of our time.
If you've already read "Dolly," I'd love to hear what you thought. Leave a comment below and tell me one of your favorite parts of the story.
Next up on my reading list is "The Man in the Picture," also by Hill. Check back to see my review or consider subscribing to my email newsletter below if you don't want to miss updates. Don't worry. I don't sell email addresses. It's just me here and doing so would be evil and punishable by unicorn horn impalement.

Q: bootstrap col-md-6 not working while viewing in tablet mode I was trying to get 2 columns side by side in tablet size while so I wrote col-md-6 so that each column will use only 6 units,but as soon as I shift from desktop size to tablet size the columns get stacked vertically with each column using all 12 units.In fact there is the same issue while viewing in mobile mode and col-sm-4 also stacks columns vertically. Please help.

        col

        col

        col-md-6

        col-md-6

A: Your problem is also your answer in the sense that Bootstrap's breakpoints are designed to stack columns based on the device view. Try to use col-sm-6 instead of col-md-6.

"Charlie's Angels" Reboot Releases First Trailer With Song From Ariana Grande, Miley Cyrus, and Lana Del Rey
Spotted: Noah Centineo.
By Lauren Rearick
YouTube/Sony Pictures Entertainment
The first trailer for the upcoming Charlie's Angels film, debuting this November, has officially arrived. As predicted, there's plenty of action, an amazing soundtrack, and an appearance from last year's Internet-appointed boyfriend, Noah Centineo.
This rebooted version of Charlie's Angels, starring Kristen Stewart, Naomi Scott, and Ella Balinska doesn't hit theaters until November 15, but the three-minute trailer is packed with enough nonstop action to more than tide you over. Oh, and this first look also features a quick listen of the much anticipated soundtrack, which includes a collaboration between Ariana Grande, Lana Del Rey, and Miley Cyrus.
Although not all is revealed in this initial glimpse, viewers do get a major taste of the fashionable action that's sure to go down. Along with Kristen donning multiple wigs and taking on bad guys, we get to see Naomi take the lead in a high speed chase, and Noah makes a brief cameo in his role as some sort of super scientist. The film is directed by Elizabeth Banks, who also stars in the movie as one of the trio's guiding bosses known as a Bosley; unlike the previous 1970's Charlie's Angels, this film will include three Boselys instead of one.
We'll have to wait and see what dangers this modern-day squad of Angels will get into, but social media is already excited. One person declared that the film will save Hollywood, and another follower cleared out their schedule, tweeting, "I have no interest in anything that isn't a reboot of Charlie's Angels." As for this follower, the real power of the film could be attributed to its combo of music and acting. "YELLLLSSSSSSS SO CHARLIE'S ANGELS THAT ELIZABETH BANKS DIRECTED, 3 WOMEN, THE SOUNDTRACK'S SANG BY MILEY LANA AND ARI I LOVE THIS ALREADY," a fan wrote. Yep, we're yelling, too.

Many Japanese carmakers and parts producers have shut down operations as the March 11 disaster damaged factories and infrastructure and caused delays in the shipment of raw material.
Japan's northeast region is a major production base for auto and electronics components, Xinhua reported.
Toyota, the world's largest carmaker, announced Tuesday that it would extend the shutdown of its 11 factories until Saturday, the second week after the catastrophe, in spite of a shortage in auto parts.
Honda said that the production suspension would continue through Sunday.
Nissan, another major Japanese carmaker, resumed parts production at some plants Monday. It planned to resume vehicle production Thursday.
But lingering fears remain over the possibility that the production could be affected by continued power outages and infrastructure problems.
The joint ventures of the three auto giants in China announced that it would not halt production in the short term due to their stockpile of auto parts. But in the mid- and long-term, they might have to reduce or even halt output if Japanese suppliers failed to ship parts due to the slow recovery.
Managers at Guangzhou Toyota and Guangqi Honda, the two joint ventures with Guangzhou Automobile Group, said their inventory of auto components could sustain normal production for two weeks through March end.
Dongfeng Nissan and Dongfeng Honda, another two joint ventures, have also said that they are capable of maintaining normal production until the end of the month, but warned that disruptions could not be ruled out next month.
Japanese car companies get 60 to 70 percent of their parts from China and the remaining key parts from Japan.
"If the parts suppliers in Japan takes too long to resume production, the joint ventures will be affected," Xinhua quoted a senior executive at a Sino-Japanese automaker as saying.
Some of the local brands are also likely to confront production disruptions as they receive key components from Japan to boost quality, says the China Passenger Car Association (CPCA).
Some carmakers would run out of stocks at this month-end, said the CPCA, adding that if they did not adjust the operation pace, the production of some models could be halted under extreme circumstances, it added.
"Some domestic auto makers will have to find alternative parts suppliers from other countries," said Song Donglin, an economist and the president of Jilin University of Finance and Economics.
The disruption could prompt Japanese auto parts producers to move some of their production to China and also bring opportunities to both local and other foreign brands, as vehicle imports from Japan become affected, said Su Hui, an official at the China Automobile Dealers Association.
The toll in the earthquake and ensuing tsunami risen to 9,523 while 16,067 people were unaccounted for in northwestern Japan by 09.00 a.m. local time (0000 GMT Thursday), said the National Police Agency.


Everyone has their own form of comfort food. This one is mine. What is it? We simply call it 'dinengdeng' and it is a soupy stew of vegetables flavored with 'bagoong' (fish sauce). Everytime I have this dish, it takes me back to my childhood and it never fails to remind me of family and the comfort they bring.
This is this week's entry Food Quote Meme.
Wow – your dinengdeng look so, so good! I've always loved Filipino dishes. I am an Ilocano and I always love this dish. It is one of the favorites among of the people in northern part of the Philippines. Thank very much you for sharing.
My comfort food is your anti-spam word "sushi" 😀 I can eat sushi, sashimi and jap variations my whole eating life!
Then again, i wont say no to dinengdeng!

Silver Star Care is a program that focuses on the social issues of Philippines as well as the world.
Silver Star Care Program organizes various campaigns and activities around the world. Silver Star Care Program works with Teenager Development Funds, Philippines Handicapped Society and other charities to help with educational, families and health issues.
The Payatas area in the Philippines has about 500,000 poor people whose lives are extremely difficult. Majority of them depend on picking and selling scraps in order to live. The children do not live in a clean or healthy environment, and do not even have access to education.
Fairplay is a non-governmental charity that was established in 2011. The organization is committed to helping the poor, particularly in providing humanitarian support to children and adolescents. Recently, Fairplay has funded more than 100 children, providing them with a clean and healthy living environment as well as essential life support; a library and youth football club were also set up in the area. Fairplay believes that by helping the community to feel hopeful, the act of charity will go on for generations.
In 2015, Silver Star Care Program intends to increase our cooperation with Fairplay to help more people in need.

1. this place / is love 1:15:58
"The work begins in very un-Wandelweiser fashion, with a strong note played on, I think, a harpsichord (prepared spinet?), quite forthrightly. After several identical notes, a recording of an interior space enters and a surprising sequence of chords occurs, four of them, very romantic in nature. Four more follow, belying the first quartet, somewhat sour, then three more, ambiguously between the first two sets in feeling.
So begins "this place/is love" a kind of quiet epic (76 minutes in length) that, as with much or Pisaro's recent work, resists easy encapsulation or structural grasp. I say "Pisaro" as I have the impression that the more strictly musical elements of the piece strike me as stemming more from him than Beuger, where the latter contributed the words, both his own and those from other authors (Anna Swir, Mei-Mei Berssenbrugge and Edmond Jabès) and perhaps the overall idea as well, I'm not sure. Blindfolded, I would have pegged this as Pisaro. Whatever the case, the composition is very expansive, the structures large enough to make glimpsing them in their entirety a task that's often beyond me. I'm told that in the first half or more of the piece, the elements repeat twice (some I can hear, some escape me) in waves, while in the latter portion elements are subtracted out; this last is apparent as sounds become far sparser in closing 20-odd minutes.
THe music unfurls calmly, each section lapping over its predecessor, reminding me of wax collecting at the base of a candle. The words are either spoken (often in a dreamily sing-song fashion that recalls Cage) or intoned, always softly and slowly. Perhaps the most jarring elements are those intonations which take some getting used to and connote memories of other music, some of which might be off-putting; some will doubtless hit on monastic singing though I make the weird association with some of the vocal segments of Centipede's "Septober Energy" so be forewarned. There's very much a sense of them sliding past each other and the adjacent sounds, like twigs and leaves flowing downstream at slightly different rates. The words center around aspects of love, including purity (even virginity), longing, the concept of "trace", ultimately channeling into the single Jabès line: "this place is love. it is absence of place".
For listeners familiar with the work of either creator, especially Pisaro, the various sounds employed will be familiar: smoothly modulated sine tones, nondescript (but fascinating) field recordings, single, pristine guitar notes, extended silences; that harpsichord is the one that stands out as unusual. But of course it's not about audio novelty but the sequencing and layering of those sounds and, here especially, their resonance with the text. To my ears this is brilliantly accomplished, in a, for lack of a better term, poetic manner that's next to impossible to quantify. A touchy subject, full of pitfalls, but they manage to avoid sentimentality while remaining subtly moving. It's certainly a contemplative, even melancholy appreciation of the emotion, not an aggressive, bodily-fluid approach, something that some listeners may find wanting (art gallery vs. the streets).
The work gradually dissipates, mere wisps of sound circulating amidst lengthy periods of silence. There's a sequence of isolated, identical guitar notes, one every 25-30 seconds, plus an extended silence or two, that essentially closes out the work, leading to that final, slow and considered reading by Beuger.
This recording won't, I don't think, change the minds of those engaged in recent Wandelweiserian debates on IHM and, more recently, on the eai Facebook page. I find it both elusive and fascinating, sometimes vaguely irritating (the intonations) but always recouping and retrospectively framing those portions in a way that satisfies. I wish I was able to "stand back" at more distance and really appreciate the form; will have to work on that. I've listened about a dozen times and have always enjoyed it, even after it "leave[s] no trace, like birds in the sky"."-Brian Olewnick, Just Outside
