Is iOS5 the "buggiest" iOS yet?
Discussion in 'iOS 5 and earlier' started by jackassroomie, Jan 18, 2012.
I'm not experiencing any major problems. What types of problems are you experiencing?
iOS 2 was really bad!
Ios5 is fine for me except the call history bug!
3) 3G connectivity issues - show full bars on 3G but constantly times out. all i see it that damn wheel spinning and nothing happening.
1. What sort of things have you done to try and appease the battery drain?
2. I'm assuming you have push on, but what service(s) do you use for email? Gmail, Yahoo, etc.
3. Don't think I can help here unfortunately.
1) I have tried all the different methods found on this forum to fix the battery issue. I refuse to turn off the things that some people suggest because then there's really no pt in having an iPhone for me. Also this was not a problem when I was running iOS4.
2) I use Gmail and Exchange for my work email.
I don't see any bugs, even the battery drain. I could say it's the most stable iOS.
very weird that some people experience nothing but good results and others are encountering multiple issues.
And I can say my 4 and 3GS both have not had wifi since Oct release of iOS5. Unless I'm within a few feet of the router, and I've used two, DIR-655 Extreme and Linksys E4200. My neighbors 4 has had the same issue as well, as well as some others I know after upgrading to iOS5. No matter what changes I did to the routers, or frequency or band I changed, no difference.
Now the 3GS is jailbroken and old bootram with blogs saved, when I reverted back to previous OS, whad'ya know, WiFi works 100%, but running iOS5 again and it only works unless right near the routers. Even replaced the wifi ribbon cable just to see, and no difference. My GS2 on the other hand works 100% on the same networks, as well as our other devices (MBP, pc/laptops, kindle fire etc).
I even went to the Apple Store with my MBP to show the difference on the iPhone when running iOS5 vs previous OS on the stores wifi network. At the time, he said they were getting complaints about this but nothing could be done as Apple had nothing about this in their system.
I guess it depends which device you have iOS 5 loaded on. Wife and i both have iPhone 4's and iOS 5 works perfectly. I was having problems with push with iCloud, but that was an iCloud problem. We switched back to Gmail and haven't had a problem since. Everything works perfectly on our iphones, but iOS 5 is rather slow on our iPad 1. Safari freezes often and closes itself. Other than that it's been fine. The safari bug bothers me though bc it is a daily occurrence.
iOS2 was indeed bad. Man that brings back bad memories. Those weeks and weeks of almost unusable text messaging, where the keyboard just slowed to a crawl!
I found iOS5 to occasionally get really slow, mainly when I leave an app. It's like springboard stops responding for a few seconds before it catches up. A little annoying.
Yesterday when I unlocked the phone springboard totally froze for about 5 seconds, then I got the spinning wheel as if it was switching off and then suddenly the lock screen appeared, and it was back to normal.
Generally seems quite good though overall, apart from the app store which has for a long time now been a very slow and annoying part of the OS.
I have the same issue as #2 above....plus the mail app often crashes. I have one Gmail account set up as Exchange. Pretty frustrating as this is my first iPhone (came from years of BB).
iOS5 has been great for me so far except for the battery drain problem, which is now fixed for me.
I'm having some 3G issues on my 4S with iOS 5.01, even when there is a relatively strong. Essentially the thing disconnects from the internet even though the 3G signal is on. Toggling airplane mode on & off seems to fix it, but I wonder if Apple messed about too much with parameters like time-out intervals in order to avoid battery drain.
i think for me, the real annoyance comes from the bugs that I'm dealing with are directly the most used things on my iPhone. My iPhone is my primary work phone so not being able to rely on my emails and having to be somewhat paranoid and opening the mail app to make sure is really annoying. I don't have the luxury of not responding to an email for work hours later.
Also when the 3G goes out and you're not in a wifi area, it is maddening. I'm not talking about tweeting my immediate feelings or writing some witty facebook status, I actually need it to update emails and find directions. none of that works when the 3G goes out.
I haven't had any problems with iOS 5.
I get 1 and 2 on my iPhone, although not 2 on my iPad, oddly enough. However on my iPhone 4 I also get the No Sim error. I've followed the support guide (that says the issue is with the iPhone 4S, it does not suggest its with the iPhone 4 too) and it still happens from time to time. I'd definitely have to seriously consider anything but an iPhone after this if they don't fix it. As much as I love the iPhone I'm just getting quite fed up of losing its main functionality (which isn't always fixed by restarting the device) randomly. To me that's a very serious bug to be found in an OS.
Sometimes for example opening the phone app, I will see briefly the call screen of the last call I was on, then it flicks back to the phone app screen. Doesn't happen all the time but at least several times a week.
When iOS 5 first came out I could not say anything bad about but right now I would rather stick with iOS 4.3. The biggest problem is if you have a device with 256 MB of RAM like a iPad1, Iphone 3GS or what I have a 3rd and 4th Gen iPod Touch. It is always running low on memory. Safari crashes all the time which with iOS 4.3 it use to only crash once in a while. Also apps crash all the time including the build in Apple apps because they are low on memory. With iOS 4.3 when I first rebooted the device I had about 150 MB of free memory. With iOS 5 I only have about 30 MB free after a reboot. It does climb a bit maybe up to around 80 to 90 MB after I open a few apps and close them but apps that use to never crash start to crash because of low memory.
I did restore from the iCloud backup on new years eve and apps don't crash as bad but Safari is still a dog.
Just today I was thinking to myself that this is the most stable my iPhone has felt since..... ever. And it's even jailbroken I truly have no issues whatsoever. On 4.x I would experience the occasional Safari crash, not getting an IP when switching between GPRS and 3G and other small things. On 5.0 I had some small things, but 5.0.1 feels perfect. I have nothing to complain about.
And the battery also has no problems (today I had to charge it after 2,5 days of usage). But I have to say that I did do a clean install of 5.0 coming from 4.x, because I always feel that upgrading to a large new version of an OS, that restoring a backup can only cause trouble. And honestly, many people with problems (also friends of mine) did start with a restored backup and after a clean install their problems would be gone. Btw, I have an iPhone 4 as do all my friends.
i think maybe the reason apple is taking it's time in fixing these bugs, is that it's not really a large sample of people. it's weird because the people around me all have some sort of issue or another with this OS so I thought it might be a larger sample, but from the responses on these boards, it seems like many people are perfectly happy with their phones. i guess I'm just stuck hoping for the new update to eventually come out and possibly fix some of the issues i'm having. i can always leave iOS all together but i dont feel like moving to another OS ecosystem and the lack of updates on android can turn out to be even worse.

My Emcee Battle Against the Disney Princesses
by Aya de Leon
Published on March 26, 2013 at 3:31pm
Before I became a mom at the age of 41, I was many things, including a hip-hop artist. Mostly, I did hip-hop theater, a solo show about fighting sexism in music. But I also rocked many a mic in the club. Little did I know that these skills would come in handy in my new battle against sexism: children's literature.
Last year, when my daughter was not quite two, we loved to go to this Salvadoran restaurant that had plenty of toys and books for families with toddlers.
As I sat on the couch by the kids' table, my daughter handed me a board book about the size of my palm: Disney's Snow White. The classic story was cut down to just eight pages, but it was the usual gist: Sweet princess, evil queen, apple, sleeping forever, kiss from the prince. You know the drill. This was before my daughter could even say the word princess. I was in charge. I had the power to define her world. Maybe that's why, without a shred of defeat, I just offered up an alternative freestyle narrative to the pictures.
As the restaurant activities bustled around us, it was as if my daughter and I were in a little bubble of our own. I looked at the first picture, and tried to imagine a caption where the princess was a badass instead of a sweet young thing. I took a breath, and said the first thing that came to my mind: "Snow White was an animal rights activist…" With no one to contradict me, my daughter accepted my version and we turned the page.
With each new photo, I freestyled an alternative storyline.
So my story doesn't really make sense, I know. But when you think about it, the original Snow White story doesn't make sense, either. Why would a powerful queen care if a young girl in the forest were fairer than her? Why would men be able to heal women by kissing them while they slept? The original is not only nonsensical but disturbing. And the experience opened my eyes to the fact that, until my daughter can read, I have the power to control the narrative of everything we read together.
I have lost some media battles–I've relaxed my zero screen time policy to let her watch b-girls and women's gymnastics videos while I cornrow her hair. I'll even allow the occasional Sesame Street and Teletubbies. But the Disney princesses are poisonous. Girls' lives in the US are saturated with Disney princesses and, with few exceptions, they all reiterate an identical storyline: female passivity and competition, ending in a male rescue finale.
So it turns out that Disney Princess freestyling is a skill that I can often deploy. This year, we were at a kids' party and one of the little girls had a Disney box set of books. The mom sort of cringed when her daughter brought them out. My daughter pounced upon the brightly colored books with the big-eyed girls, and demanded that I read them. As I began to freestyle, the mom grinned at me. I was horrified to find that every one of the princess stories ended in marriage, dancing with a prince, and a kiss (Brave wasn't part of the set). Halfway through the stack, one girl piped up, "That's not what it says!" I smiled at her, "I'm reading it a different way."
I freestyled every single one of those books. It got harder to explain the relentless dancing and kissing, but I just insisted that all of these women were very friendly dance instructors. The goal is just to keep alternative possibilities open in my daughter's mind.
I can't help but believe that re-writing the Disney stories aloud will help my daughter become a freestyler herself. I just want to encourage her in the business of making up the lyrics to her own life.
Yes, one day my daughter will learn to read and she will watch television shows and movies. But she won't have me co-signing on each of those insane messages, she won't have me passively accepting the narrative like a kiss on a sleeping woman's lips.

I hope that I become this kind of mom one day. You're rad.
What a brilliant woman! I now
What a brilliant woman! I now want to hear all the princess tales as interpreted by her. I also want "re-written fairytales" to become a meme.
I love the creativity the mom
I love the creativity the mom demonstrates here. But I also want to point out that a fascination with princess stuff (or exposure to mainstream media) doesn't automatically doom a girl to a life of primping and deluded rom-com fantasies.
I was obsessed with the Disney princesses as a kid. I loved the pretty girls and fancy dresses and the helpful singing animals. My parents would have been in deep trouble had the princess merchandise blitzkrieg happened 25 years earlier. Even now, I wistfully wander down the princess aisle at Target and consider buying a Tiana doll.
Still, as a child, I was very conscious of the roles female characters played in books, television and movies. I would count the number of male characters vs. female characters and note whether or not the girls got to do cool things like fight the evil guys. I got my elementary school librarian to stop buying "Choose Your Own Adventure" books when I pointed out the "You" was always gendered to be male. And when I played with my extensive set of Disney dolls, the princes would inevitably be sent away on some long foolish quest while Ariel, Belle, Aurora, Snow White, et al ran the kingdom.
I remember the day I proudly brought my Indian Barbie for show-and-tell, and my teacher huffed, "If I had a daughter, I wouldn't let her play with Barbies. They're bad role models." I was crushed. My mom responded, "Well, why would someone have a doll as a role model?". I credit her, along with other amazing women, for providing me with examples of strong, successful women throughout my life.
There are definitely rampant issues with portrayals of women (and racial minorities and LGBTQ and people with disabilities) in the media. I guess I get slightly defensive whenever particular topic comes up, because I consider myself unapologetically feminist. I plan to raise unapologetically feminist daughters. I just don't think I'll panic if they go through a princess phase - because I will be there, along with the other strong women in my life, to add context.
Thank you for writing this piece.
This mom is amazing, and I
This mom is amazing, and I love that she creatively embraced the power to change the narrative her little girl hears.
I also want to point out that a fascination with princess stuff (or exposure to mainstream media) doesn't automatically doom a girl to a life of primping and deluded rom-com fantasies.
Again, thank you for writing this piece. You rock.

Disney princesses have come a long way in the 70 years since Snow White. Rapunzel saved the guy and won all the fights. She related to the thugs in the pub and helped them to achieve their dreams. The Princess and the frog teaches the value of hard work and tenacity. Sophia teaches manners and appreciation of people for their qualities, not their status. Pocahontas, Mulan was a friggin warrior! It seems you've missed all the princesses of the last 30 years. I give Disney credit, they modernized the princesses and made them independent women who overcome. I have no issue with the messages coming in a fancy dress and tea party, so long as it gets across.

Although I can't say I've seen the more recent Disney movies (Brave, Tangled, etc) your comment reminded me of this video I stumbled across recently... nothing overly radical but some interesting points (especially as it related to some of the more recent princesses you reference)... just some things to think about and add to the analysis... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GXZVjUyMsI8
on fairy tales
Tansy Rayner Roberts replied on Tue, 03/26/2013 - 8:18pm
It's not just Disney of course - fairy tales in general, especially those packaged for children's books, are often problematic. And of course it's when the fairy tale is simplified down to 8 or so pages that the Princess Problems become more apparent - in the movies generally I find that there is a lot more nuance than in the tie-in merchandise, and that's a pattern I see across children's television and films generally.
Yes, there's a long way to go with telling gender balanced stories for kids on screen, but it's deeply irritating when TV shows and movies do pretty well in this regard, only for the more interesting bits to be sliced out of the story for a picture book or a toy range.
Brave, Mulan, Lilo & Stitch and other 'no marriage at the end' Disney stories get a lot less merch than the ones that fit that model.
I often found myself reading fairy tale stories to my daughter with added commentary - I couldn't bear Snow White for example without pointing out how weird it is that the dwarves happily hand over the apparently dead body of their trusted friend to some random dude who has taken a shine to her. THAT'S CREEPY.
My favourite is still my version of Red Riding Hood - which substitutes the passive fairy tale grandmother with my Mum, whom my daughters call Glammer. She's the kind of tough, independent lady who does her own wood chopping thank you very much, and it's amazing how much better the story becomes with a real person's reactions superimposed over the storybook version.
Being German I knew the
Being German I knew the Grimm's version of these fairytale (and Andersens original stories) before I ever watched a Disney movie, which made the movies seem all wrong and boring. I never understood where all the princes came from, because the princesses I knew were usually saved by circumstance or their own power. Snow White waking up from a kiss, but the poisoned apple still in her throat? Not the fairytale logic I knew. And Disney's "Arielle" made me just really angry because it didn't mean anything anymore with an happy end.
So I highly recommend reading the old versions of these stories. Yes, some fairytales have helpless objectified princesses, but there are also a lot of strong female characters and much more creative, complex storylines which challenge childrens fantasy instead of giving all the answers.
lovely. thanks. i'd add that
Reva replied on Wed, 03/27/2013 - 5:31am
lovely. thanks. i'd add that its not just about positions and roles, it's also about stereotyped looks. figures and hair and everything....one look at the young girls trying to look either b/older and hotter is enough to tell us that something is wrong with the narrative we are communicating to them. why cant they be what they like - not just 'heroes' but women with whatever bodies, hair, skin they are born with - why try so hard to change it because u r supposed to look like something else. why should there be only certain ways of being 'hot' or 'cool' or woman?

I've done that before! I
I've done that before! I used to volunteer at a nursery and some of the books (especially the older, outdated ones) got some remakes, and the kids didn't care.
I do agree that kids can like princesses and barbie and not end up messed up, but it has to be balanced by other views of women. I loved barbie (terrified my dad once by saying I wanted to be just like Barbie when I grew up, what I meant was that I wanted hair to my waist) and enjoyed Disney movies, but I also saw my mom go to work every day, my parents share parenting responsibilities, and read books like "The Paper Bag Princess". Basically I was never taught that I had to sit around to be rescued, and as I've gotten older, I've realized I've assigned a lot more agency to the Princesses than most people. Admittedly, Snow White and Aurora are rather passive, but Ariel defied her father to follow her heart and actively pursued her dreams (which was more than just Prince Eric, but a fascination with humans generally); Belle was defied the entire community to pursue her passion of education, recognized that the town hunk was an asshole and refused his advances, saved her father, recognized that the town outcast had a good side and defended him (that's a bit sketchy, but how I interpreted it); and so on.

As a father of one beautiful little princess, I really love this and admire you for your gumption, foresight, and skill. I wish I had half the brains and talent that you have. Whoa! Did I just admit to female superiority? Gasp...I guess I did :)
Lots of love and respect for you and your little princess, from Pakistan.
I'm a freestyler too!

So kickass! I think you should totally go into the business of using these same images and drawings and rewrite the damn books...and publish them! I, for one, would totally buy them for my kids, girl or boy, and I think so would many others.
I think that while you're doing a fantastic job for your own kids, you should take it one step further and professionally rewrite them for the rest of us whose imagination and wit might not be as sharp or who simply don't have the time to do this but want to impart your values to the next generation.
Somebody please take this up!
And super job by the way!

Thank you for an insightful and valuable lesson. I have had many discussions with friends about Disney's depiction of females. One thing you didn't mention, is that they are also almost invariably white or light skinned. As an African-American woman who plans to have children in the very near future, I found this article so helpful. You are empowering your daughter at a young age while she is impressionable and emulating your behavior, actions and words. Brava to you for not slacking off and taking the easy way out. I am inspired!
real folk tales vs. disney
Nancy Schimmel replied on Thu, 04/04/2013 - 11:38pm
I've been looking for and finding folk tales with strong female characters for years. I have a list at http://www.sisterschoice.com/heroines.html
Disney selected a few that fit his stereotype of women. I love your freestyle versions of Disney, but kids should hear the traditional, non-Disneyfied stories as well.
fairytales are serious business...
I think it's important to remember that in the Middle Ages, and earlier, fairytales reassured little girls, who had very few options to look forward to when they grew up, that a husband would help them survive a harsh world. And the lesson for little boys was to grow up and be strong and take care of women, also an important lesson at that time. Also, many fairytales exist across cultures; Cinderella, or a story close to it, shows up in countries all over the world.
While it's absolutely true that these stories are not completely relevant to our experiences today, I can tell you when I read the Grimm's versions to my high school classes, they are spellbound. These stories still speak to our primal need to believe that all will be well in the scary future when our parents are no longer there to take care of us.
So how do we update them and still make sure the message still makes girls and boys feel safe?
Anonymous replied on Sat, 04/20/2013 - 2:35am
That is awesome. Not sure if I would have thought of that, I would've probably said, "no" lets read something else and then tortured myself by having to sit through a temper tantrum! I totally agree, the story lines of Disney books and the characters are a disservice to our daughters. My daughter just turned 2 and one of her aunts bought her a toddler version of little mermaid. It had been a long time since I saw the movie and I didn't really remember the story-line. After reading it (come on, she gives up her voice!) I promptly threw it in the garbage. It wasn't even worthy of being donated in my mind.

Fame10 Fashion Evolution: Jennifer Lopez
It's hard not to love Rachel McAdams. She is so pretty, so sweet and so very talented. She's also the sort of the woman that most people could be friends with. She's been acting for a number of years now and while we once expected her career to reach great heights, we now know that she's actually really low-key and would much prefer not to be a big movie star. McAdams turned 36 earlier this week, so we figured now would be a good time to check out her fashion evolution. From what we've gathered so far, she's not big into fashion, so this will be definitely be interesting!
Premiere of Red Eye – 2005
Rachel McAdams looked quite lovely at the premiere of "Red Eye." We love how her hair was styled with the two braids and the big pink flower at the back. The white dress is nice, but it feels like more of a prom dress. The heels that she matched with the outfit are great though. They are nice and pink, just like the flower in her hair!
Rachel's career was on fire in 2005. The year before, she had starred in two uber popular films, "Mean Girls" and "The Notebook," which brought her international recognition, so 2005 was a continuation of that success. She co-starred in the romantic comedy "Wedding Crashers" with Owen Wilson, Vince Vaughn and Bradley Cooper, as well as the thriller "Red Eye, which won her rave reviews. Roger Ebert commented that "she brings more presence and credibility to her role than is really expected; she acts without betraying the slightest awareness that she's inside a genre. Her performance qualifies her for heavy-duty roles."

Hollywood Film Festival Gala – 2005
"The Notebook" star looked radiant at the Hollywood Film Festival Gala in this black and white patterned dress. We love how this dress goes in at waist and then flares out around the hips. It works so well on her figure. Also, we love her as a blonde. No other color works on her quite like this. Dark brown is a close second, but blond wins every time!
It was around this time that Rachel McAdams and Ryan gosling began dating. They met on the set of "The Notebook;" however, it took a couple years after filming for them to actually hook up. Gosling has stated that they had a rather combative relationship on set. "We inspired the worst in each other. It was a strange experience, making a love story and not getting along with your co-star in any way," he said. At least it worked on-screen. Their chemistry was electric.

Premiere of Married Life – 2007
Rachel McAdams arrived at the premiere of "Married Life" wearing this tri-colored Gucci Resort Collection dress. We love how she's matched her lipstick to the dress' waistband. The one thing we don't like about this outfit are the open toed heels that she accessorized with. We would have much preferred something close-toed since the dress is so bold.
McAdams's career was on fire all through 2005. She was hailed as "the next Julia Roberts" and the new "Hollywood It girl." In 2006, she did something really unexpected – she took a yearlong break to clear her head. "There were a lot of cooks in the kitchen, a lot of voices around me, and I wanted to step away so I could hear my own voice again," McAdams later said. "Truthfully, I never really wanted to be a big movie star. I never even wanted to work outside of Canada, or outside of the theatre."

Fame10 Fashion Evolution: Kylie Jenner
Premiere of The Time Traveler's Wife – 2009
The "Mean Girls" star didn't look her best at the premiere of "The Time Traveler's Wife." She wore this white ruched Emilio Pucci Resort 2010 dress, which featured a deep plunge at the chest, with black patent Christian Louboutin Pigalle heels. We really don't like anything about this look. The deep plunge was a bad idea and it looks like the dress has '80s style shoulder pads – ick!
In 2009, Rachel McAdams had returned to acting. She starred opposite Eric Bana in "The Time Traveler's Wife," a film adaptation of Audrey Niffenegger's novel of the same name. The movie received mixed reviews, with some critics claiming that her skills were wasted in this role. That same year, she also had a role in "Sherlock Holmes" opposite Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law. The movie was a commercial success; however, some critics didn't think her character was well integrated into the story.

Premiere of Morning Glory – 2010
Rachel McAdams attended the premiere of "Morning Glory" in this grey ruched strapless Lanvin Spring 2011 dress and Lanvin leather-strapped fishnet and mesh heels with a Lucite wedge. We think she looks lovely, but we're not 100 percent sold on the dress. We kind of wish that it were a bit shorter, perhaps above the knee.
"Morning Glory" is the second movie that McAdams co-starred in with Diane Keaton. The first was "The Family Stone." Although the film received mixed reviews, critics were impressed with McAdams. Manohla Dargis of the The New York Times wrote, "Ms. McAdams plays her role exceptionally well: as the young actress on the verge of the big time, who can win the boy, tame the beast, flash her panties and make you smile without making you cringe, she is a natural." Unfortunately for McAdams, the film was unable to find a larger audience and ended up only having modest box office success.
Premiere of Sherlock Holmes" A Game of Shadows – 2011
The Canadian actress looked beautiful at the premiere for "Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows" in this embroidered Marchesa Resort 2012 gown, which featured long sleeves and a cowl back. She completed the look with glittery Christian Louboutin ankle boots and Jacqueline Nerguizian jewels. We haven't seen her looking this lovely in a while!
Critics weren't too crazy about Rachel McAdams' role in the first "Sherlock Holmes" film; however, it had less to do with her abilities as an actress and more to do with the limitations of the script itself. According to Variety, her character was "not very well integrated into the rest of the story, a shortcoming the normally resourceful McAdams is unable to do much about." In the film's sequel "A Game of Shadows," her role was much smaller, but it gave her the opportunity to do a lot more because she's not Robert Downey Jr.'s love interest and is instead just a villain.

Premiere of Journey 2: The Mysterious Island – 2012
Rachel McAdams showed up at the premiere of "Journey 2: The Mysterious Island" in a sheer electric blue knit tee and a vibrant floral print maxi skirt, which featured a thigh-high split. She accessorized with a blue snakeskin clutch and black Jimmy Choo 'Anouk' pumps. We love this look on her. It is much more stylish and age appropriate than a lot of the things she usually wears on the red carpet.
We're not sure why McAdams attended the premiere of "Journey 2: The Mysterious Island." She wasn't in the film and neither was her boyfriend at the time Michael Sheen. These two had started dating in 2010 after meeting on the set of Woody Allen's film "Midnight in Paris." They dated for about two years and broke up rather suddenly in 2013. Rumor has it that the relationship ended because Sheen wasn't interested in marriage or children and McAdams was.

Premiere of The Vow – 2012
The "Morning Glory" star attended the premiere of "The Vow" in this mint-green cocktail dress by Vivienne Westwood. She completed the look with gold-and-diamond-encrusted necklaces by Pomellato, a Christian Louboutin embroidered clutch and Christian Louboutin nude 'Pigalle' pumps. It is hard to tell how we feel about this dress because we're distracted by her fringe bangs.
While the critics usually love Rachel McAdams, they weren't really sure why she chose to star in "The Vow." The Los Angeles Time felt that the film didn't put her skills to good use. The reviewer claimed that "she is such an appealing actress that it's hard not to wish someone could make better use" of her. We totally agree. McAdams is way too talented to waste her time with silly romantic comedies. We wonder what possessed her partake in this film. She was probably offered a really big paycheck.

Premiere of About Time – 2013
Rachel McAdams looked stunning at the premiere of "About Time" in this light lavender-colored Roksanda Ilincic Resort 2014 ensemble, which featured a long-sleeved top and full-length skirt with a hologram belt. She completed the look with Casadei shoes, Michael M. Collection earrings and a Norman Silverman ring. We're not entirely sure how we feel about the hair color. She just looks so much better as a blond!
"About Time" was Rachel's second film about time travel, "The Time Traveler's Wife" being her first. Zooey Deschanel was actually supposed to star in this film; however, she ended up dropping out shortly before filming began, so McAdams was hired to replace her. While critics were impressed with her chemistry with Domhnall Gleeson, asserting that it helped to keep the film afloat, many weren't that impressed with the movie itself. Some claimed that the plot was a little too much that of "Groundhog Day."
Cate has a B.A. and an M.A. in English Literature and has been the Managing Editor of Fame10 for more than 6 years. Despite having a love for the works of Thomas Hardy, Leo Tolstoy and Lord Byron, she also has an intense fascination with pop culture. When she isn't writing for Fame10, she's planning her next big adventure in Southeast Asia.

Losing a child is a traumatic experience for the family and friends of the deceased. It can be even harder to find closure if the death was caused due to the negligence of another person. If you had a child or loved one pass away, contact a compassionate attorney who has experience with cases involving the wrongful death of a minor in Toledo. A lawyer could see if you and your family are eligible for compensation for your unfortunate loss.
The wrongful death of a minor plays out differently in court compared to the wrongful death of an adult, because there are no economic damages. Since the individual was of such a young age, it is speculative to come up with an economic damage calculation. There is the loss of consortium and loss of relationship between the deceased child and their parents, grandparents, brothers, and sisters. A person is going to have more individuals that are beneficiaries in a child wrongful death case. Also, a person is going to have jurors that are going to be more sympathetic to the death of the child, which is considered a tragic situation for anyone in the community.
Frequent causes of wrongful death claims of a minor could be car wrecks, trucking accidents, and medical malpractice situations.
A wrongful death due to medical malpractice could be when a child dies shortly after a medical professional fails to diagnose or perform routine surgery for an injury. For example, a child goes to the hospital with a pre-existing condition and the incorrect test is performed. The child may have needed an MRI or CAT Scan ordered to diagnose the injury, but the doctor did not order the test and was unable to diagnose the problem which caused the death.
For the wrongful death of a minor in Toledo, there has to be an at-fault party. The most common theory to file a lawsuit in a wrongful death case is a negligence action. In a negligence action, a person has to show that a party violated the duty or standard of care and as a result, it caused the death. An example would be a car accident where the child was the passenger in the car. The car behind them had a duty to yield to oncoming traffic. The car failed to yield to oncoming traffic and as a result of the breach of the duty of care, the child died in the car accident.
In cases where there is not clear negligence or an at-fault party, a wrongful death case could not be brought to seek damages. Under Ohio law, a person would have a cause of action for wrongful death, either out of a negligent act, a reckless act, or an intentional act. An individual then would have to identify an at-fault party. Without an at-fault party, there could be a death but nobody would be held legally responsible.
The damages that are sought after the death of a minor are conscious pain and suffering, and loss of the relationship to the heirs.
Someone would look at the closeness of the relationship between various individuals, such as the mother, father, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, and grandparents to see if there is any potential economic loss, which would be rare. The large amount of damages is for the loss of the relationship.
In the wrongful death of a minor in Toledo cases, it is best to contact an experienced attorney who could properly assess the amount of damages the at-fault party owes. Call today for a free case review.

Philosophy of Ordinary Language - its Decline and What to Do After It
Ivan, Michal ; Kolman, Vojtěch (advisor) ; Peregrin, Jaroslav (referee) ; Tomeček, Marek (referee)
The general topic of the thesis is the history of the Ordinary Language Philosophy. To be more precise, it deals with the critical arguments, which were raised against is. The thesis offers a short historical and sociological review of the Ordinary Language Philosophy. Critical analysis shows two things: 1) the main reason for the rejection was a different understanding of meaning (and consequences of such a understanding); 2) critics begged the question and already assumed the justification of these rejections in their arguments. The area of this criticism was: the paradigm case argument, the empirical nature of the statements of meaning produced by the Ordinary Language Philosophy, the structural elements of meaning and the political implications of the theory of meaning. The thesis criticizes the Ordinary Language Philosophy in those parts (and in such interpretations), where its understanding of meaning does not differ from the understanding of the critics and where they share common assumptions. On the other hand, the thesis argues for an interpretation, which avoids classical understanding of meaning in all its consequences. Finally, the thesis asks how the Ordinary Language Philosophy can be useful for contemporary debates.
Detailed record
Wittgenstein's Perspicuous Representations
Suchý, Jindřich ; Kolman, Vojtěch (advisor) ; Hill, James (referee)
The aim of my thesis is to present Wittgenstein's late philosophical concept of perspicuous representations as a tool to "dissolve" philosophical problems. According to Wittgenstein, the problems of philosophy are to be understood as conceptual confusions, or misunderstandings. The role of philosophy consists of dissolving them by presenting connections between concepts. The philosophy is thus conceived as a therapy consisting both of the negative task (of dissolving philosophical problems) and the positive task (of clarifying the norms of representation). The thesis starts with description of Wittgenstein's concept of philosophical problem and of its methodological base. After that, the influence of the important figures such as Hertz, Boltzmann and Goethe is discussed with particular focus on the color-octahedron which represents the only Wittgenstein's systematically developed example of the perspicuous representation. Perspicuous representations are thus presented as an instrument used to represent the preconditions of human understanding of the world.
Epistemology of Late Wittgenstein
Rozen, David ; Kolman, Vojtěch (advisor) ; Hill, James (referee)
The aim of this paper is to interpret epistemology of late Wittgenstein. For this purpose I will begin in the first part by introducing background and key moments of Wittgenstein's late conception of philosophy in the context of his early work, and so I will define the framework in which the following interpretation of his late epistemology will operate, which, as it turns out, can not be understood as the theory of knowledge in the traditional sense. Therefore, in the second part of my work, I will present Wittgenstein's late epistemology through two perspicuous representations - (1) perspicuous representation of grammar of expression 'to know' and (2) perspicuous representation of forms of life, as transcendental conditions of knowledge - in order we can see the connections between the different aspects of his late thinking and clarify the character of human knowledge, which turns out to be a social status anchored in the language, acting and mythology of particular culture.
The Rule-Following Paradox
Samčík, Jozef ; Kolman, Vojtěch (advisor) ; Palkoska, Jan (referee)
This bachelor thesis is focused on a paradox which is mentioned by Wittgenstein in the §201 of the Philosophical Investigations. This paradox states: depending on interpretation, every course of action can be made out to accord or to conflict with a given rule. Kripke calls this problem the rule-following paradox and considers it to be the central problem of the Philosophical Investigations. Firstly I will explore a role that the term "rule" plays in a broader context of Wittgenstein's approach to language. I will argue that "obeying the rule" has a key role in understanding the concept of meaning. Next I will give an account of the rule-following paradox as it is presented by Kripke. Then I will describe impact of the paradox on various concepts of meaning. Lastly I will compare and evaluate Kripke's and McDowell's interpretations of the solution of the rule-following paradox offered by Wittgenstein. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)
C. S. Peirce's conception of man and human subjectivity - The self as semiosis
Chudožilov, Andrej ; Kolman, Vojtěch (advisor) ; Švec, Ondřej (referee)
The question of relation between that what is conceived of as the internal subjective world of a human person and of that, which is thought of as external objective reality is a classic and unsolved problem of philosophy. Charles Sanders Peirce with his semiotic approach to the problem gives at least original, at best an illuminating answer. The goal of this paper is to describe in one place what it is that Peirce is trying to say on the topic in his extensive writing. The product of this work should be a comprehensive description of conception of man and human subjectivity as it can be found or developed from Peirce's philosophical system and the description of this conception's place in his worldview.

Rorty and Davidson on Truth
Šulcová, Kristýna ; Kolman, Vojtěch (advisor) ; Palkoska, Jan (referee)
(in English): Richard Rorty and Donald Davidson are (at least verbally) in agreement on many essential topics in the philosophy of language, including their rebuttal of the correspondence theory of truth, the impossibility to define truth and the untenability of both the scheme-content distinction and the dichotomy between realism and anti-realism. Yet substantial differences remain, as represented especially by Davidson's insistence on the importance of objective truth and by Rorty's idiosyncratic pragmatism. The task of this thesis is to identify Rorty and Davidson's mutual differences more precisely and find out whether their philosophical projects might in the end prove compatible or if, on the contrary, their broad agreement is only apparent. With this end in view, the thesis traces the concept of truth in the hands of both philosophers with a special focus on Davidson's concept of objective truth. I conclude that Rorty systematically misinterprets Davidson as far as the latter concept is concerned. However, as both Davidson and Rorty remain hostile to treating truth as a normative concept, this need not mean that their views are completely incompatible.
Schopenhauer's Concept of Music
Bakovský, Pavel ; Pokorný, Martin (advisor) ; Kolman, Vojtěch (referee)
(in English): The topic of this work is aesthetics and metaphysics of art in writings of Arthur Schopenhauer with emphasis on his concept of music. Its main goal is to present Schopenhauer's aesthetics in broader context of his philosophy and to provide an account of whether his theory is a plausible explanation of art. Important topics include discussion of relationship between art and nature and analysis of Schopenhauer's approach to a concept of (platonic) Idea. This work tries to put forward an interpretation of Ideas based on their role in the order of nature, while sounding doubts about their function in art. It concludes, that while music according to Schopenhauer's account might provide us some important metaphysical insight, it is doubtful whether other arts provide us the kind of knowledge ascribed to them by Schopenhauer.
Dennett's Criticism of Qualia
Kubelková, Kateřina ; Hill, James (advisor) ; Kolman, Vojtěch (referee)
Topic of this thesis is Dennett's criticism of the philosophical notion of qualia. First, the notion of qualia and the meaning it acquires within philosophy are introduced. Then, four thought experiments are presented to serve as an argument in favor of existence of qualia along with Dennett's reaction to these thought experiments. After that, Dennett's criticism of qualia as immediately apprehensible, ineffable, intrinsic and private properties of conscious mental states is introduced while one of the most common objections to this criticism is emphasized - Dennett's conception of qualia is too narrow and we can preserve it in a moderate way. Subsequently, the thesis outlines such a modest concept - the concept of phenomenal consciousness. This thesis attempts to show that there is no place for phenomenal consciousness in Dennett's heterophenomenology and Multiple Drafts model and that Dennett is as skeptical about this term as he is about the notion of qualia. In the end, the thesis asks the question whether it is really necessary to give up the concept of phenomenal consciousness if we want to study consciousness scientifically - from the third-person point of view.
Late Wittgenstein's Metaphysics
Shchelkalin, Dmitry ; Kolman, Vojtěch (advisor) ; Hill, James (referee)
Presented interpretation of the Wittgenstein's writings aims to clarify the particular aspects of his work, with an emphasis on the themes of language concepts and philosophical methods in the Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus, Philosophical Investigations, On Certainty and others. Plausibile understanding of Wittgenstein's positions within the classical philosophical and theoretical categories based on this analysis of the grammatical rules of language in their forms of life and of objective certainties and their application within the required method of philosophy shows the fact that normal categories are not completely compatible with Wittgenstein's positions, therefore, suggest a moderate realistic reading which will not neglect its semantics in a pragmatic overlap in non-structuralist approach. Ivestigating key Wittgenstein's ideas and methods of their presentation from early to late period allows us to eliminate improper interpretation - I mean first of all metaphysical and ontological connotations that bind to the early period. It turns out that these connotations can not be documented in the studied texts in any concrete and explicit theory, although his work has otherwise quite obvious continuity in the individual topics approaching.

Justificatory Status of Perceptual Beliefs
Sedláková, Jana ; Kolman, Vojtěch (advisor) ; Glombíček, Petr (referee)
The main subject of this essay is the problem of the relationship between sensation and perceptual beliefs in terms of their justification. Wilfrid Sellars and his Empiricism & The Philosophie of Mind are central for this essay. Sellars criticizes the theory of fundamentalism and sense data theory by pointing to the Myth of the Given. The perceptual beliefs could not be basic and self-justifying. Such a hierarchical structure is implausible, because we need a lot of other concepts for understanding and forming the perceptual beliefs. The justification has to be placed in the space of reason, when we are able to be responsible for our beliefs, to give reason, to understand the objections and react to them. This debate is not examined only in terms of an isolated, static subject. On the contrary, this subject is embedded to a dynamic social structure. Sellars' position contains three main elements: normativity, intersubjektivity and holism. All these elements will be more closely examined and placed in a broader context. Finally, I will present a critical view on Sellars' position on the basis of three questions: 1, to what extent is plausible the prior character of "It is" talk to "It looks" talk 2, to what extent can we talk about the non - inferential beliefs 3, to what extent is Sellars'...

Biografia
Dopo avere studiato Storia al Girton College a Cambridge, Lizzie Susan Stebbing si appassionò alla Filosofia, ottenendo un Master a Londra nel 1912.
Fu allieva di William Ernest Johnson, fu anche influenzata dal pensiero di Bertrand Russel, di Alfred North Whitehead e di George Edward Moore. Divenne un punto di congiunzione con il Circolo di Vienna, e fu la prima ad invitare Rudolf Carnap a tenere una conferenza nel Regno Unito. Fu presidente della Società Aristotelica (1933-1934).

Dopo la sua morte, un gruppo di colleghi filosofi costituì il L. S. Stebbing Memorial Fund per sostenere gli studi di donne laureate in filosofia presso il King's College di Londra.

Fra le sue opere più conosciute ed importanti, vi sono A modern introduction to logic (1930) e Thinking to some purpose (1939). Nella prima esplora la logica formale e le tecniche logiche analizzando allo stesso tempo i problemi epistemologici e metafisici ad esse correlati. La seconda fu così descritta nella quarta di copertina della prima edizione della casa editrice Penguin Books: "un manuale di primo soccorso per pensare in modo chiaro, che mostra come individuare illogicità nei processi mentali degli altri e come evitarli nei propri". Nel corso della sua vita di studio e di insegnamento, svolse "una attività di divulgazione del positivismo logico e dei metodi di analisi del linguaggio".

A Fun New Years Eve with Kids!
Staying home and enjoying New Years Eve with your children can be quite fun. As long as they stay awake. :) Here are some ideas to help make the evening fun!
1. Make bubbly Jell-O according to the directions on a box of Sparkling White Grape Jell-O. Be sure to use club soda, seltzer, or ginger ale and follow the tips on the box for getting the gelatin to sparkle.
2. Chill the Jell-O in champagne flutes or parfait glasses. We suggest making these the day of the party, since they might lose some bubbliness if they're made further ahead. Wind a metallic multicolored star garland (available at party stores) up the stem of the glass for pizzazz.
Celebrate New Year's or any special occasion with Confetti Cake.
Follow the directions on the cake mix box, but just before pouring the batter into the tube pan, add the sprinkles.
Mix them quickly and gently with as few strokes as possible and pour the batter into the pan immediately. If you mix and pour too slowly, the colors may bleed and color the surrounding batter.
Make the frosting right before you plan to apply it so that it doesn't set. For best results, apply the frosting, sprinkles, and decoration no more than an hour before serving.
Combine the gelatin and water in a small saucepan.
Let it stand until thick.
Set the pan over low heat, stirring constantly until the gelatin dissolves.
Don't let it boil, as that would reduce the gelling power of the gelatin.
Remove the gelatin from the heat. While it cools a bit, combine the cream, sugar, and vanilla extract in a bowl.
Whip them with an electric mixer until the mixture thickens slightly.
Gradually pour the liquid gelatin (don't let it set) into the whipped cream mixture and continue to beat at slow speed until blended. Then whip it at high speed until it's stiff and peaks form when you lift the beaters.
Frost the completely cooled cake with a generous, fluffy layer, making swirls and peaks as you go.
Add confetti (colored sprinkles) and the sparkly year decoration. (Tip: We applied the sprinkles to the sides of the cake by lightly tossing them against the frosting. After we stuck our store-bought metallic sprays entwined with a star garland into the cake, we cut a 2-inch star out of paper, wrote the year numerals on it, and taped it to the sprays.) Store the cake in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
You can count on our shiny hats to make the ideal toppers for a New Year's party, but there's no reason to confine them to the countdown. Tailor the decorations to the mood and theme of your holiday party: glue on large menorah-shaped sequins (available at party supply stores) or festoon the hats with mini candy canes. Note: not all these materials are required to make each hat.
To make a cone-shaped hat, cut a semicircle with a 14-inch diameter from the poster board. Roll it into a cone, adjust its size to fit the child, and seal the seam with double-sided foam tape.
To make a chin strap, use the thumbtack to poke a hole through each side of the hat near the bottom, thread one end of the elastic through each hole, and knot a few times to secure it.
To make a headband-style hat, cut out a strip of poster board about 26 inches long and 3 to 7 inches wide (depending on your design). Cut a decorative design along one edge of the strip, fit it around the child's forehead, and secure the seam with two large paper clips.
To decorate the hats, wrap pipe cleaners around pom-poms to make antennae or coil them around a pen to make spirals. To attach a pipe cleaner decoration to the hat, use the thumbtack to poke a hole through the hat, push 1 inch of the pipe cleaner through the hole to the inside of the hat, and duct-tape it down. Attach pom-poms to the hat with double-sided foam tape.
Help your child recycle empty ribbon spools into colorful noisemakers for New Year's Eve.
For each one, first see if the holes in the sides of your ribbon spool are covered by the ribbon's labels. If so, use a pencil to poke through the label over 1 of the holes; if not, cover 1 hole with masking tape.
Next, pour a handful of dried peas or beans into the spool through the open hole, then seal the hole with tape.
Coat the shaker with acrylic paint, let it dry, then decorate it with colorful stickers.
Ring in the new year with a project that your child can bank on: a custom container that lets him save up for something he really wants.
Have your child decorate an empty coffee can with images of what he pines for. Then cut a slot in the lid that's large enough to accommodate coins and folded bills. Make the first deposit to get him started.
On New Year's Eve, invite your kids to write a letter to their future selves. They can list their favorite things (books, songs, ice-cream flavors, TV shows, foods, colors, animals, games) and make predictions (how tall will they be in a year?).
Pack away the letters with the holiday decorations so that they'll be out of sight but easy to find next year. On December 31, 2010, have your kids open their letters and see how much their tastes have changed -- or haven't!
A New Year's resolution is a promise that one makes to a scheme or the improvement of a custom, frequently a way of life transformation that is usually construed as beneficial. The name comes from the detail that these promises in general go into an upshot on New Year's Day and stay in anticipation of satisfaction or discardation. New society concerned examples comprise resolutions to contribute to the poor more repeatedly, to turn into more self-confident, or to develop into more economically or environmentally accountable. People possibly will act likewise during the Christian fasting period of Lent; however the purpose at the back of this festival is more of sacrifice than of duty. The New Year resolution is one instance of the undulating forecast-method of preparation. As per this system, plans are recognized at regular short or medium-term time intervals, when only an irregular long-term plan exists.
There are spiritual equivalents to this worldly custom. For example, during Judaism's New Year, Rosh Hashanah, throughout the High Holidays and concluding in the Day of Atonement, or Yom Kippur, one is to think of one's misconducts of the year and both look for and offer forgiveness. The idea, in spite of the faith, is to reproduce upon self-improvement yearly.
It must be computable AND definite. In other words, an absolute unfamiliar person should simply be able to objectively conclude whether or not you've accomplished it.
A procedure of events should be necessary in order to attain it. "Visit Kenya." doesn't count if one usually travels and it's within the financial means and ease zone. It would count, however, if one had to come up with some way of financing the journey, or if one moved there for a month, or if one was having a preexisting catastrophe about hippos and were going there to tackle the fears.
- Try to dream up at least a goal or two in each area of the life. Don't just aim at losing weight and give up smoking. Think of new pastimes, the delicate relationships, the reading habits, the learning status, and so on.
Good: "Weigh 134lbs naked on the morning of December 31"
Awesome: "Run three miles without stopping wearing XXS Aerie sweatpants"
The overwhelming description of this decision not only fit in two general goals -- losing weight and exercising more -- into one, but it also aim at one of the genuine cause one wants to lose weight: to fit into a smaller clothing size. It doesn't matter what number the scale shows if the pants won't fit!
One may not be capable to chart out the concluding end of the trip right now. That's okay. The significant thing is that one has at least one action step that he can take RIGHT NOW in the direction of each of the resolutions.
Current study shows that as 52% of participants in a resolution study were sure of achievement of their objectives and resolutions, only 12% in fact attain their objectives. Men attain their goal 22% more frequently when they occupied in a goal setting, an arrangement where small quantifiable goals are used (lose a pound a week, in its place of saying "lose weight"), where as women do well 10% more when they made their resolutions open and got support from their companions.

Scott Motosports: Vuillemin on Utah MX
David Vuillemin August 27, 2014 0 0
Former factory rider DV934 weighs in on the last national
Photos by Simon Cudby
Thoughts about going to a man-made facilty like Utah? You see what they're trying to do and there are certain things that are better than a "regular" national although the track does kind of suck.
Man-made tracks are very often a miss. Basically a flat MX track isn't very interesting to start with. But Utah isn't the worst one we've ever seen. I think the friday rain helped the track a lot. There is only so much you can do on a flat track and I think Marc Peters has done a decent job with that place. I am not a fan of jump-filled track and rollers. MX is about natural terrain but it seems like every track has rollers and some kind of rhythm sections. Washougal and Unadilla are a good proof of track builders doing way to much to make the track attractive with building jumps and doubles everywhere they have room for it. I'd rather watch the riders of today on the Unadilla track from the '80's. I've never been to Utah but it seems like it's a cool venue being in the road race track complex. Yes, it looks like an unattractive SoCal track but it's close to the best thing we can get from flat land.
"Canard had 7 moto podiums before he showed up at Unadilla with the KYB stuff. It's not like he was 10th and all the sudden starting winning. But it sure looked like it was the last detail he needed to win 4 of the last 5 motos of the season with some impressive rides."
Trey Canard– you riders are mental cases for sure. Do you think the switch to KYB is what did it or him THINKING that the bikes worked so much better that made the difference.
I'm sure Trey feels more comfortable with the Kayaba suspension. I also think there is a mental boost that goes with it. When you tell yourself it's better, even if it's the same, the fact that you're being positive about it you're already faster. We have to look back and see that Canard raced the last 5 SX races. He had to get ready and test to be competitive in Supercross while the other riders had their SX set-up all dialed in and already starting testing in MX. Trey might have been a little behind the eight ball compared to the KTM boys at the start of the MX season due to the fact he decided to race the last SX races. It maybe, indirectly, affected his MX preparation even if he was riding good at the first races. I think he improved his MX riding and his fitness as the season went on. The suspension switch was that little boost he needed to race and beat Ken and Ryan. Let's not forget that Canard had 7 moto podiums before he showed up at Unadilla with the KYB stuff. It's not like he was 10th and all the sudden starting winning. But it sure looked like it was the last detail he needed to win 4 of the last 5 motos of the season with some impressive rides.
Roczen did what he had to do and validated your pre-season pick as him for champion.
I picked him to win because he's a great MX rider that knows how to ride any conditions and his fitness, this season, looked way better. If I could've bought my bet back when Dungey got as close as 7 points, I would have for sure! It looked like RD had the momentum to win the title after round 10 while KR was struggling. Like I said when there were only 4 motos left in the Championship, Ken had to beat RD 2 out of 4 motos to still have a chance at it. He did just that in the mudder in Indiana. Roczen more than deserved the title. With 539 points on 24 motos, he scored 22.16 points per moto. That's better than 2nd at every single moto. After witnessing the season, he didn't dominate but the numbers talk for themselves. He also won the most motos with 8 and almost doubled Ryan in laps led.
In case you were wondering, Jeremy Martin showed that he's the man in the 250 class. Is this a deal where he's going to rip off a few mx titles or was this a Dean Wilson or Blake Baggett thing where he's fast and everything fell his way?
That's a tough question. The 250 class is always full of surprises. If I would've told you Martin would clinch the title 3 motos before the end you would've said I am crazy. The advantage he has is that next year he's going to stay on the same bike and on the same team with a lot of data on set-up and he knows what to do to win a title. Can Cianciarulo show up in '15 and do a Martin? He might but we will have to wait and see. Baggett has the potential to win an outdoor title if he actually can get some starts. Bad starts shouldn't be an excuse for a past champion riding on one of the best bikes out there. I think Marvin can also be a contender for a MX title if he can start the season healthy and at 100%. Obviously, Jeremy will be the 2015 favorite but I'm not worried about the attractiveness of the 250 class. There are a few riders capable of giving him a run for his money.
"The 450 class is a different ballpark in term in fitness and training. Can he step it up and train like a RV, Dungey, Roczen or Canard? I am not sure and I'm not confident about it… But, if he would he would be pretty tough to beat…"
Would you hire Christophe Pourcel for a 450SX and MX ride next year? And if not, who would?
Remember, I actually did hire him before! I don't think I would hire him even if we didn't have a history. He's an amazing rider. He was the fastest rider in timed practice 9 out of 12 races this season. but he only won 1 moto, 1 overall and finished 6th in the championship, 145 points behind Martin. Take in consideration he holeshot the most motos too. I didn't go to a single race this season nor at a practice track. I don't know if he changed anything in his program but he's a rider that you can't really managed or advised. He does his own thing. He obviously had some fitness issues, I assume, seeing his fade at some races. The 450 class is a different ballpark in term in fitness and training. Can he step it up and train like a RV, Dungey, Roczen or Canard? I am not sure and I'm not confident about it… But, if he would he would be pretty tough to beat…
Who's the NEXT Jeremy Martin? Who's going to surprise us next year in the 250 class?
That's a weird question. The bottom line in our sport isn't to be the man in the 250 class. That class is a stepping stone to the premium class, the 450s. So, I don't really ask myself the question about who's going to be the man (boy?) in 250s next year-I really don't care. What I would like to debate on is if Martin can be the man in the 450 class in a couple years or who would be the next rookie to come and shake up the top guys in the 450 class. Like I said above , there are a few guys that can win a 250 outdoor title but who is the next Roczen that can win SX races, be in the hunt for a 450 SX and MX championship? Who is the next RV or the next RC? All the sudden the list of guys is shrinking. Do I see Boggle or Anderson, the 2 2014 250 Champs be that guy? Not really. Do I see Martin jump to the 450, win SX and MX races and fight for a 450 title? As of today, not really either… Whatever those kids did to be successful in the 250 class is nothing compare to what it takes to be as successful on a similar bike with 200 extra cubic centimeters. And that something too many 125 (back in the day) or 250 riders didn't realize nor achieved in the past…

Governor Mutua seals off Shalom Hospital after three COVID-19 deaths
The Machakos County government has shut down Shalom Hospital in Athi River after three patients succumbed to COVID-19.
Machakos Governor Dr. Alfred Mutua, in a statement released on Saturday, said other inpatients at the facility as well as at least one health worker have since also tested positive for the disease.
According to Dr. Mutua, the decision to seal off the hospital was arrived at following consultations with the Kenya Medical Practitioners and Dentists Council as well as Ministry of Health Director General.
"The hospital is now a quarantine facility and therefore no one is allowed to get in or leave the hospital," said the Machakos County boss.
"The process of screening and testing for COVID-19 imay take several days and has already started. Further decisions will be undertaken according to evaluation of the relevant agencies involved in the provision of health care and combating of COVID-19."
He further added: "I urge all wananchi to be patient as we ensure all health facilities are safe so as to avoid hospital based infections that were witnessed in places like New York and several Italian cities.
The facility, in a statement to newsrooms signed by Dr. Hellen Omari, said the three patients succumbed to the disease during referral to an advanced hospital owing to constrained Intensive Care Unit (ICU) facilities countrywide.
Dr. Omari said the hospital has, in recent times, witnessed an influx in patients suspected of suffering from COVID-19 from the Nairobi Metropolitan Area as well as referrals from local clinics, adding that some were symptomatic and others asymptomatic.
The hospital hence resorted to testing all staff and patients who were seen at the facility and six out of the seven patients tested positive as well as one out of 19 members of staff.
"All the suspected cases were treated within the isolation ward (pending release of results) and with no contact with the rest of the patients," added Dr. Omari.
"As a Level IV hospital, we do not have Intensive Care Facilities (ICU). We have been referring the critical cases to advanced public and private hospitals."
She further added: "Unfortunately, there has been a challenge with such referrals owing to constrained ICU facilities countrywide. This situation has regrettably resulted in 3 fatalities as the referral cases are being processed."
The facility also appealed to patients in all hospitals countrywide to make full disclosures while seeking treatment so as to minimize risks to other patients and health staff.

"Citizenship: On & Offline." A compliment to Future Ready Schools
Future Ready Schools
ACCEPT U is a Social Emotional Learning curriculum series, modeled off the Principles of Character, designed to ensure the development of the Whole Child. Targeting 21st Century State Standards, ACCEPT U delivers content that is highly interactive, inclusion, and collaborative among both staff and students. Focused on modeling the importance of acceptance and tolerance, empathy is defined through ice-breakers, media delivery and breakout sessions. The three-part series is designed to thematically and chronologically develop middle-school students' social skills and awareness, starting with "Transitioning: Elementary to Middle School" in 6th Grade. Learning the ins and outs of bell to bell life, as well as the social peer pressures of middle school, students and staff collaborate and work with their PEER Leaders in their own building to share fears and concerns in order to develop a shared vision of expectations as stakeholders in the building. Once in 7th grade, the focus of ACCEPT U is "Citizenship: On & Offline." A compliment to Future Ready Schools, its content clearly defines and introduces the importance of marketing yourself positively and showcasing your brand (on and offline) in a way that is positive and socially acceptable, thus empowering students who are now Future Ready. Finally, 8th graders embark on an SEL Retreat known as "Diversity Day." Celebrating multi-culturalism within a school, teachers, staff, and administration share with students how to navigate through their world (and others) more effectively while having their own voice be heard in a safe, trusting and inviting learning environment. Graduates of ACCEPT U become the Ambassadors of Social Change for your school and the voice that defines your school's culture and climate, by showing empathy and celebrated social and cultural differences.
As the District PEER Leadership Coordinator for the Old Bridge Township Public School District, my goal is to develop student-leaders who are Future Ready, within a culture and climate that is socially inclusive, safe and driven by the Principles of Character. The vision of our Superintendent, Mr. Cittadino, and Assistant Superintendent, Dr. Hoeker, emphasizes the importance of Character Education, being a State and National District (and High School) of Character. Under their shared vision, they have supported me in developing a PEER Leadership Program that is built from the bottom up, where once a Senior PEER Leader, the cycle of Paying it Forward starts over by modeling expectations to our Elementary Character Ambassadors, as well as mentoring of our Middle School and Grade 9 PEER Ambassadors. With the belief that "Everyone can become a Knight," my PEER Leadership Program has become the vehicle that drives through the terrain which is our district's culture and climate.
My definition of Leadership was defined by Old Bridge High School Principal, Vincent Sasso. A passionate, innovative change-agent, Principal Sasso models the proper way to build positive, lasting relationships with all stakeholders of a learning community. Staff and students alike respect, appreciate and buy-in to his ethical approach to fostering a caring community. Mr. Sasso's proven leadership and positive example motivated me to bring my passion for Social and Emotional Learning and PEER Leadership beyond the scope of Old Bridge Public Schools. With his support, my growth as an influential educator has now led to collaborations with other school districts looking to share, revise, and even implement SEL curriculum of their own, as well as earn recognition from the New Jersey Department of Education and Character.org.
If transforming the culture and climate of your staff, students and learning community is a priority, as well as becoming Future Ready, I am always looking to share ideas and collaborate with district team leaders looking to put students first who are positive citizens, on and offline!

Today at its AzureCon, Microsoft expanded the capabilities of its public cloud, Azure, with the addition of N-series GPU-enabled virtual machines available over a fast RDMA network. The company also announced that it is reducing prices on its high-end instances, A8-A11.
In addition to Azure's A, D and G series of virtual machine types, Zander announced two new options. The first, called DV2, is based on the latest generation 2.4 GHz Intel Xeon E5-2673 v3 (Haswell) processor. DV2 series instances are on average 35 percent faster than the D series and are intended for applications that demand faster CPUs, better local disk performance, or higher memories. With the announcement of DV2, Microsoft said it is lowering D-series prices across all regions.
The second new instance family, the GPU-backed N-series, provides Azure customers access to the NVIDIA Tesla K80 GPU accelerator for HPC workloads and to NVIDIA GRID 2.0 technology for virtualized graphics in enterprise workflows. The low-latency Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) network will facilitate remote visualization, high-performance computing and analytics workloads, said Zander.
NVIDIA CEO Jen-Hsun Huang spoke over video about the collaboration to make accelerated graphics and high performance computing available over any connected device.
The Azure public cloud is the first to offer NVIDIA GRID 2.0 virtualized graphics, powered by the Tesla M60 GPU. Instances backed with the NVIDIA K80 GPU will support HPC, computational science, data analytics and deep learning applications. Full RDMA provides low-latency network connection for multi-machine GPU workloads.
Zander said that Microsoft is working with a number of ISVs that specialize in computer-aided design and simulation to bring more of their workloads onto Azure.
The N-series instances will be available in preview within the next few months. Prices and configurations have not been disclosed.
Azure's other HPC-friendly instances, A8-A11, haven't had the Haswell-refresh yet, but the company did say it was dropping prices by as much as 60 percent, effective October 1, 2015. The rate reductions apply to the network-optimized A8 and A9, which feature a 40Gbit/s InfiniBand network with RDMA technology, and the compute-optimized A10 and A11, which are identical to A8 and A9, except without the InfiniBand network and RDMA technology.
"These instances carry the powerful Intel Xeon E5 processors and are suitable for compute intensive workloads like high-performance clusters, modeling and simulations, video encoding, and other compute or network intensive scenarios," wrote Zander in a blog post, directing interested users to the product pricing page.
