| | | Find Brown University Tickets and more here for every game! | myLot Discussions| All play and no imagination? | | The focus of play is now the object and not the activity and kids tire of their toys pretty soon. I find that kids today are easily bored (even with a hundred toys around them). What happened to innovative play and imagination?
Does anyone remember the time when we brandished sticks as swords, or used stones to play tic-tac-toe or hopscotch?
Howard Chudocoff, a cultural historian at Brown University, who has researched the history of children's play in the United States, says that children's games today focus on predetermined and scripted ideas.
What do you think? Are your kids innovative with toys and play or do they keep begging for more toys because they are 'bored' with what they have? | |
| | Emma Watson going to college! | | As you may or may not know, Emma Watson has been accpeted into the Brown University and is currently attending there. I really admire her for that. She is so busy with the Harry Potter movies that it's a miracle that she managed to finish her schooling! Wow Emma!
So, what do you think? Do you think she'll be able to blend into the students there and have a normal college life? Would you want to go to Brown University because of her? | |
| | I'd Piss on Your Diploma if you were "educated" at any of these "schools". | | While most of the people of the US support our troops and are grateful for what we do, there are still pockets of ivory tower elitists who carry on the tradition of spitting on US servicemembers past, present and future.I'm talking about the rotting weeds the infest the Ivy League. As usual, not every member of any group is guilty of the bigotry and close-mindedness of others, so I won't paint all Ivy League schools with the same hemlock brush.I will name the Ivy Hall of disdain and shame...Brown University (Providence, RI)
Columbia University (New York, NY)
Harvard University (Cambridge, MA)
Stanford University, Palo Alto, CA)
Tufts University (Medford/Somerville, MA)
University of Chicago (Chicago, IL)
Yale University (New Haven, CT)These "schools" are a pox on higher education. They hide behind freedom and rights, but consider it "beneath" them to defend those rights. Defending our nation is something for mere mortals to accomplish. Freedom is somehow their "birthright" because some admissions board annointed their heads, and closed their minds.While other schools are turning out the military leaders of tomorrow, these schools BAN any sort of military... | |

Website owners can enroll in this program to enable text, image and, more recently, video advertisements on their sites. These ads are administered by Google and generate revenue on either a per-click or per-thousand-impressions basis.

Those wanting to advertise with Google's targeted ad system may sign up through AdWords. AdSense has become a popular method of placing advertising on a website because the ads are less intrusive than most banners, and the content of the ads is often relevant to the website.It currently uses JavaScript code to incorporate the advertisements into a participating site. If it is included on a site which has not yet been crawled by the Mediabot, it will temporarily display advertisements for charitable causes known as public service announcements (PSAs). (Note that the Mediabot is a separate crawler from the Googlebot that maintains Google's search index.)Many sites use AdSense... | |
| | WHY MUSLIMS RARELY SPEAK OUT, EVEN IN U.S. | |
DISSENT CRUSHED
WHY MUSLIMS RARELY SPEAK OUT, EVEN IN U.S.November 19, 2006 -- MUSLIMS are often accused of not speaking out sufficiently against terrorism. Nonie Darwish knows one reason why: Their fellow Muslims won't let them.Darwish, who comes from Egypt and was born and raised a Muslim, was set to tell students at Brown University about the twisted hatred and radicalism she grew to despise in her own culture. A campus Jewish group, Hillel, had contacted her to speak there Thursday.But the event was just called off.Muslim students had complained that Darwish was "too controversial." They insisted she be denied a platform at Brown, and after contentious debate Hillel agreed.Weird: No one had said boo about such Brown events as a patently anti-Israel "Palestinian Solidarity Week." But Hillel said her "offensive" statements about Islam "alarmed" the Muslim Student Association, and Hillel didn't want to upset its "beautiful relationship" with the Muslim community.Plus, Brown's women's center backed out of co-sponsoring the event, even though it shares Darwish's concerns about the treatment of women. Reportedly, part of the problem was that Darwish had... | |
| | Mommies with newborns, this is very interesting!!! | | So there's a woman who has photographic hearing and can remember sounds by hearing them once.
She worked with BROWN UNIVERSITY about baby cries. She has a son and noticed a pattern, and Brown was studying baby cries, so she got together and told them the pattern she saw. Brown was studying the hysterics part of the cry, and she said she noticed a pattern before the cry.She found that babies use 5 "words" that equal how the baby feels and here they areNeh= Hungry
Owh= Sleepy
Heh= Discomfort
Eair= Lower Gas
Eh= BurpThis woman was on Oprah today and she said she's tested this theory on 1000's of babies and it's been proved to actually work.What you want to listen for is what the baby "says" before he/she cries.Funny thing is, when my son got hungry after the show he actually did make the "neh" sound.:)Good tips for new mommies.
This works for babies up to 4 months old.
