Sanfranjoshfan | Sunday, September 14, 2003 - 04:59 pm     Is it official that Jun won part 2 of the 3 part HOH challenge this week? |
Wendo | Sunday, September 14, 2003 - 05:05 pm     Yes, Sanfran, Jun beat Robert today. Jun and Ali will be competing in part three. |
Meggieprice | Sunday, September 14, 2003 - 05:07 pm     Does anyone know what the riddle was to do with red and blue marbles? My Zachy is very keen to know. He has been trying to solve each day and we could not find out that one... |
Wendo | Sunday, September 14, 2003 - 05:08 pm     No I don't Meg, sorry. Did you check back in the archives? Might be there. |
Cliotheleo | Sunday, September 14, 2003 - 10:12 pm     Do we know WHY Bob broke up with Jun? |
Sunrvrose | Sunday, September 14, 2003 - 10:19 pm     Clio, I've only seen wild speculation that Bob is a player and dumped Jun after conquest. As I said WILD speculation, don't even know where they got it. |
Draheid | Sunday, September 14, 2003 - 10:23 pm     Meggie: I searched all over the board for the riddle with the marbles and was not able to find any complete description. There was talk in the LFs about 49 red and 50 blue in one jar, 1 red in another jar, but no description of the 'rules' of the riddle that I can find. Sorry. |
Cliotheleo | Sunday, September 14, 2003 - 10:38 pm     Sun, I sincerely hope that Bob is NOT a jerk. Also, I wanna see what this guy looks like .......... I mean what man under the age of 30 is named Bob? Besides Bob the bachelor of course, he doesn't count. |
Meggieprice | Sunday, September 14, 2003 - 10:41 pm     Thank you Dra! If you can't find it, no one can! I think Jun said Bob did not want the same level of comittment she did and that they were taking a breather. |
Boberg | Monday, September 15, 2003 - 06:08 am     Cliotheleo..this is what I heard Jun say on live feeds re:Bob....they decided to take a break because Bob was feeling pressured to make a further commitment to Jun and was not ready to do so..so they took a break from their relationship and Jun moved out..Jun has said by the time she gets back home Bob should know what it is he wants and that she would not wait forever for him to decide... This may not be the truth..but it is what I heard from Jun's mouth. |
Chiparock | Monday, September 15, 2003 - 06:10 am     Forgive me if this question has been discussed elsewhere, but does anyone know if the F2 will be allowed to toss out one of the jury votes? I don't recall last year, but I'm still in awe of Will being shrewd enough to cancel out Bunky's vote. I really didn't think Bunky would vote against Will, and was shocked that he did. |
Kaili | Monday, September 15, 2003 - 06:19 am     As far as I know, it hasn't been mentioned at all this year (about tossing out votes). I kind of doubt they will. |
K9lover1 | Monday, September 15, 2003 - 06:37 am     How long have Ali and Donny been dating? I think there was a period in there where she was dating Justin. |
Zgoodgirl | Monday, September 15, 2003 - 07:56 am     I have a question. In a lot of posts, the term IMO is used. What does that mean? Maybe a dumb question, but I am clueless. |
Hamsterlady | Monday, September 15, 2003 - 07:57 am     Zgoodgirl - It means 'In My Opinion' |
Zgoodgirl | Monday, September 15, 2003 - 07:59 am     Ah ha! Thank you Hamsterlady! |
Chiparock | Monday, September 15, 2003 - 08:53 am     Thanks, Kaili. It's too bad if no votes are cancelled; it would add another dimension to the finals. |
Kalekona | Monday, September 15, 2003 - 10:16 am     there are 7 votes this year.. if they throw one out it sets up a tie... no there will be no vote thrown out. |
Gidget | Monday, September 15, 2003 - 10:32 am     This is so incredible. The paomnnehil pweor of the hmuan mnid. Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoetnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be at the rghit pclae. The rset can be a total mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe. Amzanig huh? I didn't know where to put this but I thought it would be enjoyable to fans of a psych show. The really funny thing is my boss just sent it to me. 1. He apparently has nothing better to do today either. 2. He is trying to send me a message tho I don't know what. And here I've been worrying about filter words AND my bad typing. From now on all my posts may look like the one above. LOL |
Tashakinz | Monday, September 15, 2003 - 10:35 am     but Kale - if they each get to pitch - it would be 5 and no tie... |
Monalisahi | Monday, September 15, 2003 - 10:44 am     Gidget....LOL.....I was wondering about you there for a moment. Perhaps that explains why schools began using the memorization method (I think that's what it was called) to teach reading. They started it when my kids started school....ugh, messed them up terribly. Kids couldn't even sound out a word. |
Chiparock | Monday, September 15, 2003 - 10:54 am     Yep - the year Will cancelled out Bunky's vote, Nicole cancelled out Shannon's vote. |
Prisonerno6 | Monday, September 15, 2003 - 11:04 am     Reading is more complicated than what the above examples imply. Understanding those words is more than just recognizing the first and last letters. The statement is readable in part because the words are given in context, and your reading schemata help you determine what type of word comes next in the sentence. For example, if you just saw this word: paomnnehil with no context, you would be hard-pressed to understand what it means. However, in the context of the sentence fragment The paomnnehil pweor of the hmuan mnid it becomes easier to understand (actually, I'm assuming it's supposed to be "phenomenal"). Even with all that, "researchers" are talking about good readers only who have achieved automaticity in word recognition, not low readers who still need to sound out words or who may not have the reading skills needed to use contextual cues for literal comprehension. Spelling well is still the first step in making sure your message is understood and not lost as people try to figure out what you are saying instead of what you mean. |
Gidget | Monday, September 15, 2003 - 11:20 am     All good points Prisoner, especially regarding context. But, if this truly was a scientific study, it makes sense that one small element would be examined, not the entire process of reading. Two subjects that teachers are concerned with interest me. Reading and memory. I have often wondered about how reading works because I was a precocious reader and thus have no memory of being taught except my parents reading to me. Like so many academic skills, I think there are painful step by step ways of learning the skills or simply being guided to the general process at a very young age. This does not include students whose brains fire in different patterns and thus may only be able to acquire skills thru the step by step process. I sent the original email on to some friends. I'm happy to say my spell check mechanism is in good order. All and all I thought it was a fun thing to share on a blah kind of day. |
Meli456 | Monday, September 15, 2003 - 11:57 am     That was an awesome share. I really enjoyed it and passed it on as well. This is mostly for Gidget or anyone else reading this who was a precocious reader: Precocious reading is actually a learning disability (using the term lightly) called hyperlexia. I actually have this, I could read letters by 1 and a half and just started reading at two. A hyperlexic child is fascinated by letters and numbers and is a natural decoder. Language is learned in a backwards style... written word before spoken word. Developmentally, children should not be reading before 4 or 5, after they have developed good social skills. Hyperlexic kids are often compulsive readers and prefer books to people. The learning style is very different from the average child as well, responding better to written words rather than spoken. I also used to have a photographic memory, when I was in school and before I had children. I think that is also tied in with my hyperlexia. Social skills are another weakness and sometimes people with hyperlexia also fall along the autistic spectrum. Children with hyperlexia will almost always benefit from extra help. It could also be hereditary. Thanks for listening to my little lesson, people. I will update my profile to put my email in there if anyone wants to email me for more info. |
