Enjoy!
Changing colors — it’s not just for chameleons! Many species of octopuses, squid and cuttlefish can do it, as well as a few insects, and even mammals and birds. Find out what feats of biology different animals use to change their wardrobes on the fly.

After teaching his kids how to change a roll of toilet paper, Will Reid returns with his second “teenage instructional video,” in which he shows his kids how to load a dishwasher.
Enjoy!
Well here it is! The tricky second video. I honestly didn’t think there would be another one as the first one was spontaneous and meant as a joke. A joke that seems to have struck a chord with quite a few people!!
I have really enjoyed reading all your comments and suggestions and because of that, I decided to give it a go and see what you all think. All I ask is please don’t take any of this too seriously. It is all just a bit of fun and who knows, maybe James and Beth may one day actually load the dishwasher or change the toilet roll?!! Sandra and I certainly hope so!!
I hope this raises a smile and maybe some knowing nods? If it does, please share and lets see what happens. Despite my kids saying that I’m not funny and no one would be interested, I guess I have shown them that maybe Dads do know a thing or two about the internet! Who would have thought?!!!
Oh and the web site thing? You can now buy a T shirt with either instructions on or maybe even my name and face. You lucky people!! What is that all about? I apologise now.
Neuroscientists have found that playing an instrument is a unique workout for the brain as it activates numerous areas of the brain at the same time, a phenomenon that is not found in other activities.
When you listen to music, multiple areas of your brain become engaged and active. But when you actually play an instrument, that activity becomes more like a full-body brain workout. What’s going on? Anita Collins explains the fireworks that go off in musicians’ brains when they play, and examines some of the long-term positive effects of this mental workout.
We need more people like Karen Lamoreaux to speak the truth. Common Core is nothing more than Social Engineering.
Hopefully this video will wake some people up.
Pass this on!
An ordinary mother of three eviscerated Common Core state standards in her powerful four-minute testimony before the Arkansas Board of Education Monday.
The testimony comes in the wake of major protests against the uniform guidelines. The mom, a member of Arkansas Against Common Core, and identified as Karen Lamoreaux, testified that rather than “a set of rigorous, college-ready international benchmark standards” that the Common Core initiative was touted to be, it tends to dumb down math solutions by, ironically, overcomplicating them.
As an example, she gave the board a simple fourth-grade division problem, which Common Core requires students to use 108 steps to solve.
“The academia-jet set coalition is attempting to tame the American character by the deliberate breeding of helplessness and resignation—in those incubators of lethargy known as “Progressive” schools, which are dedicated to the task of crippling a child’s mind by arresting his cognitive development.” ~ Ayn Rand
