Superheroes

I’ve was researching for my course on comic books and graphic novels and came upon, what I believe, one of the most creative and innovative program ideas that combines kids and comic books. Superhero Club is a kids program designed to encourage children to develop their imagination along with an interest in reading that will continue throughout their adult years. Children design their own comic book and superhero costume and all that that may entail. Once their costumes are completed, they use their superhero powers to defeat supervillains by completing an obstacle course.
I’d like to add that Lisa Shaia with the Association for Library Service for Children’s Tandem Library Books Literature Program Grant for the program.

The generosity of children.

I love my girls, and of course would do anything for them, I am a taxi service, café, hotel, de-toothed loan-shark, laundry service – the list goes on.

Their generosity of spirit however, seems to peak at the kindly donation of a stinking cold – 5 days before I am due to partake in the Warwick triathlon.

Not exactly the repayment I had in mind!  So it now seems that I will be competing on Sunday in a very snail-like fashion, moving very slowly and leaving a trail of mucous behind me. Just wave a cabbage at the finish line to give me something to head for.

But don’t worry kiddy-winks. I am sure payback will come, not today or tomorrow, but perhaps in 40 years time, when I am an incontinent tourettes-ridden geriatric, living, I hope one of your hotels!

4 days to go. I am just NOT ready.

Animê vs. Mangá

.

In a few days of my break and AnimeSoft webpage become a chaos, i give permission for others staff member here and they post a plenty things about other OS’s and Companies. Even the fact we are friends with Google, their OS has nothing to do with us.

.

Well, back to the main story. On my vacation i remembered to bring with me a Mangá. And on the end i could finally realize what kind of entertainment is most effective emotionally.

Even that I already watched Love Hina on my Netbook, this time I got to read the story again on a Mangá. At the beginning i felt odd, but i got in the story very soon, and on the end i felt that it had drawn me out of the reality. I was inside of the story, i was in the Mangá.

Because of that fact, now i can justify that Mangá is more addicted than Anime, it is more effective emotionally and ilusionally.

But why?  That’s simple to explain: In a Mangá, you create your own character voice, smell, moves, touch fellings and you create your own scenary colors, sounds, smells, moves,…

Resuming: With Mangá you can create your own desired fantasy story!

The contras about a Mangá is the fact that for creating a own fantasy you need peace, place, enjoy and to be very calm. And to watch anime, even with a disco party in your home you will be able to watch it and enjoy it.

.

.

Remember:

God said we should love him, not humans. SingStars and MovieStars is reality, they should not be loved. Animê & Mangá are a fantasy based on stories, and they can’t be considerated as a real beloved ones.  If Goddes chosen ones created Animê & Mangá, the Devil chosen beings created Hentai and Doujins to destroy that wonderful world and create bad gossips about Goddes work.

And…  Animê & Mangá is made for grown-ups, because it’s too hard for childrens to understand.

.

“ If you watch Anime or read Mangá, you are surely a good-hearted and smart being!”

How to steal your girlfriend’s password to facebook / MSN / e-mail (guide)

For all those people who want to find out if your partner is cheating or the password to your partner’s facebook/myspace/e-mail/msn and other. Or if you are a parent worrying about what your kid might be doing at the computer behind closed doors.

Business going bad? Time to check up on your employees surfing habits. But how to do this, without getting caught trying to get some information?

Keep reading, I have the solution for all of you people.
I chose to introduce you to a keylogging/surveillance program after finally finding the tool that will give myself some answers to questions regarding my own relationship. I have searched for quite a long time and thought that there just aren’t any effective programs out there yet. But I found out that there is, it’s called All In One Keylogger, I gave it a try and I was honestly said frightened about the information it is able to collect, it will give you the answers to all your questions and suspiciousness.

The program fits for:

a) People in a relationship
b) Business administration, finding out what your employees do when they “work”
c) Parents who want to keep track of their kids.

From their homepage you can read about the futures of All In One Keylogger, as I find it a bit pointless to copy paste whole production info page. Don’t be scared off by the word keylogger, YOU are the master of the program, only you will ever have control of the logs, pictures and audio that it monitors. Below is a lot of information about the features and what the program does, I recommend to read it in order to get a idea about the program.


Product Website:

I chose to speak more about my personal experiences of the program instead of talking about all the futures, those can all be found by following the link above to the product site.


What does All In One Keylogger do?

All In One Keylogger logs all keystrokes and passwords that have been typed into crypted files on your computer, it tracks all windows and applications that have been launched, clipboard, chat conversations (sent and received), all Web sites that have been visited, e-mails sent and received.

You can set it to take screen snapshots every few seconds or on each mouse click, just like a surveillance camera. It can also record Microphone sounds and restrict the access to specified Web sites and applications if wanted. It can even be set up to send these logs to your e-mail or FTP for tracking when you are away!

Personally I hate it the times I get the feeling in my stomach that something might be going on when I’m away from my partner, this is the solution to get rid of the paranoia, or to get proof for your suspicions. It snaps up all usernames and passwords into the very easily readable log viewer supported in the All In One Keylogger program. And maybe even more importantly you can set it up to take screen snapshots every few seconds and view the pictures later. I chose to divide the potential usage areas into different categories, you might wonder what the All In One Keylogger could be good for, I’ll tell you.

Relationship:
In the survey that took place in United States in the year of 2005 which includes married couples only, 56% of the participants of the survey said that during their marriage they had at least one sexual encounter with a person that is not their spouse. Are you living in a relationship and suspect that your partner is cheating on you, or doing other stuff he/she shouldn’t be doing on your/her computer (flirting harshly on community sites, MSN messenger contacts, webcam usage, microphone usage or visiting sites that are uncomfortable in a relationship.. the list goes on.

This is where All In One Keylogger can be there to save you from wasting time on your relationship, you wonder what your partner does when he/she is on the computer and you are away or working night shift. Well there is no reason to keep wondering and being paranoid about what she might be doing, you can find it out directly by downloading the trial version straight away (it is amazingly easy to set up, and the best part is that it is totally undetectable/invisible in windows, so no one can find out it’s installed and running.. read more on product site for more detailed info).

 It basically records all keystrokes, and shows in which program the text has been typed in, stores visited sites and you can set it up to take a picture of the screen for example every 10 seconds!

Employers:
In the survey that took place in Britain in the year 2006, 87% of the employees participating in the survey said that they surf on the internet during their work at least once a week. 73% of them said that they surf at least once a day. 23% of them said that they dedicate more time to surfing on the internet than to their work! In the additional survey that took place in the same year answered 36% of the employers, participants of the survey mentioned that they are afraid that secrets of the company will be sent to their competitors from the company computers by their employees. 4% announced that they fell victim to the theft of company secrets by their workers from the company computers.

Are you running a small sized company, and wonder why you aren’t getting as much work done as you should be getting. Well the solution is here, with All In One Keylogger you can make sure who are actually working and who are not. The result can be scary, you might find out that the employee is actually playing online poker half day or such, no wonder that the results aren’t so promising. There are a lot of people who don’t care as long as their getting paid, so they will just entertain themselves in some way instead of actually working.

Parents:
Today, almost every child has access to internet. This comes thanks to the advance in technology, but has also risks involved. Did you know that: The average age when the children encounter pornography in the internet is 11? The age of the largest pornography consumer group in the internet is between 12 to 17? 85% of children between the ages 6-16 encountered pornographic content intentionally or unintentionally (most of them while preparing their homework). 25% of children between ages 9-17 will freely disclose their home address in the internet? 60% of children who committed suicide, declared their intentions online directly or indirectly? One in five children who use the computer chat rooms has been approached over the internet by pedophiles? Only 25% of youth who received sexual solicitation told a parent.

The children today are very sophisticated and most of us parents don’t have the knowledge to know what they are doing behind their closed doors in front of the computer. Are they browsing to inappropriate websites, are they downloading illegal content using P2P programs that will in the future result in lawsuits of thousands of dollars? What personal information they disclose about themselves, are they talking to adults, or maybe they meet them?

All In One Keylogger has many features:

No activity on your computer will be able to evade this high quality Keylogger. Does your kid make secret chat conversations with adult strangers? Maybe even with a pedophile that searches for his next victim? Does he surf to pornographic sites? Maybe he even exposes his personal details where he is not supposed to? Does he use P2P programs, sharing copyrighted materials which could constitute a pretext to a lawsuit of tens thousands of dollars? Have you ever wondered why does your husband “work” on his computer so late at the night? Does he have a secret online lover?Have you ever wondered who is your wife’s “partner” she talks with all the time? Do your employees surf on the internet instead of doing their work which you pay them for? Do they sell company secretes to your competitors? A high quality Keylogger should give you the answers to all these questions. No activity will be able to evade from it. No undesirable activity will be able to evade from you! As said, a high quality Keylogger is an “All In One Keylogger”, so just press this link to download “All In One Keylogger”:

The Grocery Store Clerk

We stood at the cashier and as I finished my transaction, she looked at the boys and said, “You’re not in school?”

“We homeschool,” they replied.

She looked at the time and saw it was not quite noon and said, “Shouldn’t you be at home in school then?”

The boys just shrugged, having no idea what she was asking or how to respond.

I interjected that we were in school, we just moved our classroom to the grocery store that morning.

She then turned to them and said, “Oh, well in that case, what’s the tax going to be on this bill?”

My seven year old piped up and said, “I don’t know, but I do know these two drinks add up to $2.”

It was an interesting exchange and what I came away with was another opportunity to revisit what we are doing and why it works so well for us as a family.

The situation helped to remind me that we are walking a different path but that my alternative view of education and learning is something that really resonates with me and seems to be working very well for my children too.

And I enjoyed another opportunity to observe the kids continuing to just be themselves and feeling confident in what they do know and how they interact with others.

IS IT POSSIBLE TO NOT SPEND ANY MONEY DURING THE SCHOOL HOLIDAYS?

So here is the thing. I woke up this morning thinking it would be a great idea to have a spending detox for a week. In other words not spend any money other than for bills, groceries and petrol for a week.

When I told my 6 and 8 year old daughters, they were not too impressed. 

 I quote…. “nooooooo!” (note to self: must try and sell the idea a bit more!)

Now I could easily not spend any money for a week if I wanted to. I mean, I have done it plenty of times….granted there was usually a sick child in the house, so we were house bound…hmmm…maybe that doesn’t count??

So my first order of business (basically to make me feel better) was to do some research. I wanted to know what was out there that was free during the holidays. Do you know what? I was pleasantly surprised, there is actually quite a bit on! Bless those lovely people who are putting on all these lovely activities for the children free of charge! It is making my job to stick to this goal a whole bunch easier! yeah!!

So, I will post what I have found out, and I would love it if you would tell me what you do with your children during the holidays to stay sane, and keep from going bankrupt!

Scrapbooking with Kids - needing help here

Annie and I have been making a scrapbook about her school holidays

So far we have 3 pages. Annie was very excited about the first page, sort of interested in the second and had wandered off by the third page.

I think perhaps I need to cut out the pictures before I sit down with Annie because that was pretty boring for her… although she had very definite opinions about how she wanted the cut out.

I also need to find some scrapbook friendly pencils that Annie can draw pictures on the pages with.

What I need is tips and tricks from people who have scrapbooked with children before, what works, what really does not work?

Help Please!
