No matter what your level of experience, your resume is the entry point to your career. It's what will get you through the door if you don't have a friend or Agent who can open it for you.
Employers form a number of opinions when they meet you but their initial assessment of your suitability is made as soon as they receive your resume. This means you need a resume that won't be deleted or overlooked – you need a resume that will ensure you get called for an interview every time!
First impressions last - it really is that simple. This applies to experienced Architects, Designers and Draftspersons and most importantly, Graduates who are keen to enter the work force.
So here are our TOP TIPS on how to achieve a great resume:
Since clarity and brevity are equally important, careful writing, editing and organising is required. There are many different formats that you can use, so chose one that suits you – the key to a good resume is the information it contains.
We are so often asked how long should a resume be:
When it comes to experienced personnel, we would recommend no more that 4-6 pages in total. For a Graduate who has accrued undergraduate experience, no more than 2-3 pages in total.
Cover Letter
A prospective employer will always want to know why you are applying for their position, so your cover letter should be well written, succinct and above all, clear about why you believe you should be considered. If there is cause for question or you are only available on a part-time or short-term basis, be sure to indicate your citizenship or visa status.
When you're looking for a job, it's very easy to click send and not think about where your resume is going but trust us, we know that a well written cover letter stands out.
Cover Page
For all levels of experience, the front cover page of your resume should be clear and concise and have a full list of all your personal details and contact details, including email, home phone, mobile and address.
It should show your qualifications – the high school and primary school you attended is not relevant – and state your dates of attendance, full name of the course and the institution. This applies to any industry related short course you may have completed or certificate you may have obtained, such as Red Card. If you're a Registered Architect or Building Practitioner, include your registration number and the date it was obtained.
Make sure you include a full list of the software and CAD systems and your level of proficiency, such as basic, intermediate, expert along with how many years you have been using each program.
You can also list the details of any publications or awards or competitions that you won. This is particularly relevant for either Senior Design orientated personnel or Graduates – but remember, only list the relevant information, there's no need to ramble.
Support Pages
For experienced personnel, your support pages are where prospective employers should find all the information they need to accurately assess your level of experience. So you need to make sure that you include a detailed list of projects, including values where possible, followed by the specific responsibilities or duties you undertook on each project. It should also include what software packages you were using and should be listed in reverse chronological order – most recent job first. Make sure you state the full company name and city or country; your position title and the commencement and completion dates, this includes the month and year and if you worked full-time or part-time, on salary or contract.
Additional duties such as marketing, management, HR, operations should also be included under separate sub headings if applicable. It is important to make sure your resume is not too lengthy but we do occasionally come across very experienced personnel who have only included the past 10 years of work experience, with little or no mention of the previous years. We strongly advise against doing this, as it will only lead to questions from a prospective employer. The key is to be transparent in the information you provide. If you have 25 years experience, be proud of it, and detail your experience in full. If you feel your resume is becoming too long, then provide less project and duty information in the early stages of your career and ensure the greatest detail is dedicated to your most recent work experience.
For Graduates this can be more difficult, especially if you have limited experience in the industry. If you have been fortunate to gain experience as a student, this should certainly be listed first. When you state your responsibilities, be sure to break it down in minute detail – the more information the better. If you have no work experience at all in Architecture or Design, then you should list your work experience in other areas, such as waiter or retail store clerk. Mature age students should most definitely include their previous work experience, as it will demonstrate a solid work ethic and general life experience, which is extremely valuable to any office.
In the early stages of your career, it is important for a prospective employer to see that you are willing to put your hand to any task, which includes the mundane. Never underestimate the value of fundamental attributes, such as a friendly, positive attitude, reliability and your ability and willingness to follow instructions.
Written References - Are they necessary?
Yes! They are important and most particularly for Graduates who have not yet established a track record that can speak for itself. References that provide insight into your character, work ethic and/or skills from a previous employer or your lecturer from University or TAFE are invaluable. Including a glowing written reference with your application could be the very thing that secures your first interview!
If you have had several years of experience in the industry, a written reference is still important, as many prospective employers still request both written and verbal references. It is easy to lose contact with key personnel that can vouch for your experience, especially after several years have elapsed, which is why we highly recommend you obtain a written reference from senior staff wherever possible.
Most importantly, you will need to include the contact details for prospective employers to call. If they're interested in employing you, they will most certainly want to talk to your previous employers about your time with them. Just make sure that you only include referees that are aware you're looking for a new job and are happy to be contacted.

Thinker and Experimenter,
This conversation is closed.
How can overly empathetic/sympathetic people compete in this world? Do they eventually end up jaded and bitter?
The saying goes "nice guys finish last". I interpret that "nice" means overly empathetic/sympathetic people who sacrifice themselves for others happiness. Kindness seems to be a sign of weakness in that saying, as though people prey on those kind-hearted people. If it were true, then how do kind people compete in this world? Is it some kind of evolutionary Yin and Yang, where a balance of certain personalities need to exist for progress to happen or do people have peaks and troughs of kindness in them?
Update: Thought I'd share a fascinating article found in the comments below:
It is about the differences between being nice and being kind.
Closing Statement from Dyed All Hues
Thank you all for your well thought comments. I have learned a lot and I hope you've all taken some knowledge from this as well.
Be mindful of those around you and tread lightly on the paths made by your brothers and sisters of humankind.

Don RogersJan 28 2013: What about the joy of giving to others and serving others, simply because you can... where one has the physical and financial capacity along with the time and opportunity. Like borrowing a tool from your neighbor, where you always return it in better condition than when you picked it up... leave the neighborhood and planet a better place because you were here. Consciousness, mobility, hands, feet, a mind with free-will, our senses, our incredible opportunities, health, leisure time... these things are a gift to us EVERY SINGLE DAY. They were not owed to us. Use them to better the world while you can.
My oldest son was at a regional track-meet. The winner of a race between him (native-American/European) and an African-American, would go to nationals. They were equally matched. Coming out of the starting blocks, the black athlete got ahead of his feet and fell hard on his hands, knees and stomach. David went back to assist him amid the furious protesting screams of his coach and most of those in the stands. After helping him up and brushing off his knees, the two took off together, eventually into a dead sprint. AGAIN, the black athlete fell and Dave went back again to help him... and the screams that had just died down, EXPLODED! They took off together and it was basically a photo-finish.
My youngest son was completing in a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu tournament and quickly got a position on his opponent where Jake could have easily reversed the other fellow's elbow. Carefully applying pressure, he realized that his opponent must have taken pain killers before the match or he would have submitted and Jake would take the #1 trophy. Instead of causing an injury that might plague his opponent's elbow in his senior years and the referee refusing to do his job and protect the athletes by stopping the match, Jake released him.
I am blessed to have sons who fully understand that winning doesn't always mean "coming in first". I am extremely proud of my sons.
Jan 28 2013: Hi Don,
I just wrote a comment about how competitiveness and empathy/compassion can co-exist. What wonderful examples you have provided....really beautiful:>)
You are "extremely proud" of your sons, with very good reason. I bet your sons are very proud of their dad with good reason as well:>)
Jan 28 2013: Hello Colleen Steen 500+. (You don't even look 30.) Thank you for your very kind words. I just realized that I have never once wondered if they were proud of me. Their obvious capacities for, and demonstrations of love, respect, desire to help others achieve, tender interactions with their children, is what I desired to instill (amoung other facets), but with their being 32 and 40, I do think that the days when dad dazzled them, are in the past. It is their time to dazzle their little ones.
Jan 28 2013: Hello Don,
30 huh? LOL! Actually, I am 30 x 2 +.............:>)
And so the cycle goes.....we hopefully "dazzle" our kids with respect, compassion, empathy, kindness, desire to help others and tender interactions....who hopefully dazzle their kids....on and on it goes.........................

I'm going to come right out and say it – This year was a blast! That statement would have been more difficult to muster, say, mid-January when the weather was less cooperative, but as a whole I had a great first season at Kirkwood. Not only was this my first season at Kirkwood, but also my first as a snow reporter and working in marketing, making the switch from multiple seasons on the Ski & Ride School side of the business. I learned a lot about the weather this season which was not only necessary, of course, but really interesting too. I also got to see firsthand all that is happening at the mountain before the sun ever peaks over the ridges. All I can say is that the late night / early morning crews at Kirkwood are total pros and I have a new found respect for what they do. From groomers agonizing over the perfect cord to patrol sleeping at the summit so they can conduct snow safety the next morning, these folks are unsung heroes of Kirkwood and I am in total awe of the job they do!
Getting to know the Kirkwood community this season has been great. I've enjoyed meeting so many passionate skier & riders on the chairlifts this winter – telling me why they love this mountain, why they snowboard or how many days they have logged this year. Being new to this mountain, it has been inspiring to listen to people from the Bay, to S. Lake to Germany tell me this is their favorite place to ski and ride! As the season went on and I got to explore more of this mountain it's pretty easy to see why everyone gets so stoked about Kirkwood – this place is special. The terrain here is absoulutely incredible - big cliffs, open bowls, powdery gullies and steep! Did I mention steep! Not that we don't have mellow terrain to, we do, but I fell in love with the more challeging stuff. The day I spent lapping Vista was rediculous!
It's always sad to wind down a season, but I'm excited for 1) my first summer in S. Lake, which I've heard are super fun; and 2) All the cool stuff going on next year. With that, here are some of my top moments from my first season here, Enjoy!
Morning Sunrises
You only get these when you're up on the mountain as early as I was. There were some mornings when I felt very lucky
New Year's Eve
Even though December was a little light on the snow front, our celebration was so fun! The torchlight parade with it's hundreds of glow sticks was quite the spectacle and the fireworks display that followed was fantastic. Coop and I attached a GoPro to the bottom of the fireworks launching pad!
The Rahlves' Banzai Tour
What a crazy event! I had know idea… these racers are hardcore. If I don't have work it next year (I will) I want to race. Not that I think I can really hang, but it looks fun!
April Powder!
I rode around with this group in the morning. Best 2 hrs of the season. Not only was the snow light, deep and plentiful but these little shredders were a total inspiration!
4/25 I'm in there!
See you next season!

The 2013 dairy and feed outlook is a case of the good, the bad, and the ugly, a feed and dairy market analyst said last week at World Ag Expo in Tulare, Calif.
Joel Karlin, commodity manager and market analyst for Western Milling in Goshen, Calif., said the prospect of much lower feed prices and record-high milk prices should provide some relief to dairy producers this year, although California dairies face particular challenges.
On the negative side, he added, there's still too much milk for the level of demand, and the U.S will face intense competition from other global dairy producers.
Here's how Karlin broke down his dairy-feed forecast during a dairy seminar at the annual farm show:
The Good
• USDA is forecasting a drop in 2012 U.S. milk production, which has not happened since 2001. That may help keep the milk supply better balanced with demand.
• Other key milk-producing regions, including Oceania and the European Union (EU), also are expected to reduce output.
• U.S. fats and skim solid exports will maintain strong growth as dairy demand in such key countries as China continues to boom.
• Hopes of a stronger U.S. and global economy may help resuscitate dairy demand, especially in away-from-home establishments.
The Bad
• Hopes of good U.S. corn and soybean production after three consecutive, poor growing seasons may be compromised by the persistence of the mega-drought that torched crops last year.
• Even with the end of the ethanol boom, 5.5 billion bushels of corn will still be used while feed demand in developing countries continues to grow.
• The U.S. dairy industry still has no consensus on a national milk supply program, with a one-year extension in the farm bill and regional differences of opinion.
• Even with an aggressive rate of culling, cow numbers remain strong, with a large cohort of replacement heifers and an unwillingness of many to exit industry.
The Ugly
• Dairy production outweighs demand. Milk consumption is down and product utilization also is falling.
• There is intense competition for export business from Australia, New Zealand, and the EU, with Ukraine and Brazil waiting in the wings
• "There is no excuse for dairy producers' complete disregard of price risk management tools," Karlin said. Studies do show contracted prices are often lower than the average but variability is much lower. No industry is guaranteed to attain at least the cost of production.
In focusing on the feed markets, Karlin said the year will see "an interesting transition from tight old-crop stocks to [a situation] that could feature much more ample supplies by fall."
If greater feed crops materialize, "dairy producers may get significant relief in feed costs the second half of the year," said Karlin.
"Weather will be key, especially with the mega-drought even more widespread and intense than seen last summer," he said. "A common refrain on possible corn prices is anywhere from $4-$9 per bushel."
Feed demand in all sectors has been pared back over the past few years and may be slow to return. "The combination of big crops -- due to large plantings and some semblance of normal weather -- and depressed demand could result in much larger ending stocks and far lower prices than many imagine," Karlin said.
Karlin listed these bullish factors for feed markets:
• The ongoing U.S. drought means there are no subsoil moisture reserves, which is bad for corn;

49 U.S. Code § 60112 - Pipeline facilities hazardous to life and property
(a) General Authority.— After notice and an opportunity for a hearing, the Secretary of Transportation may decide that a pipeline facility is hazardous if the Secretary decides that—
(b) Considerations.— In making a decision under subsection (a) of this section, the Secretary shall consider, if relevant—
(1) the characteristics of the pipe and other equipment used in the pipeline facility, including the age, manufacture, physical properties, and method of manufacturing, constructing, or assembling the equipment;
(2) the nature of the material the pipeline facility transports, the corrosive and deteriorative qualities of the material, the sequence in which the material are [1] transported, and the pressure required for transporting the material;
(3) the aspects of the area in which the pipeline facility is located, including climatic and geologic conditions and soil characteristics;
(4) the proximity of the area in which the hazardous liquid pipeline facility is located to environmentally sensitive areas;
(5) the population density and population and growth patterns of the area in which the pipeline facility is located;
(c) Opportunity for State Comment.— The Secretary shall provide, to any appropriate official of a State in which a pipeline facility is located and about which a proceeding has begun under this section, notice and an opportunity to comment on an agreement the Secretary proposes to make to resolve the proceeding. State comment shall incorporate comments of affected local officials.
(d) Corrective Action Orders.—
(1) In general.— If the Secretary decides under subsection (a) of this section that a pipeline facility is or would be hazardous, the Secretary shall order the operator of the facility to take necessary corrective action, including suspended or restricted use of the facility, physical inspection, testing, repair, replacement, or other appropriate action.
(2) Actions attributable to an employee.— If, in the case of a corrective action order issued following an accident, the Secretary determines that the actions of an employee carrying out an activity regulated under this chapter, including duties under section 60102 (a), may have contributed substantially to the cause of the accident, the Secretary shall direct the operator to relieve the employee from performing those activities, reassign the employee, or place the employee on leave until the earlier of the date on which—
(A) the Secretary, after notice and an opportunity for a hearing, determines that the employee's actions did not contribute substantially to the cause of the accident; or
(B) the Secretary determines the employee has been re-qualified or re-trained as provided for in section 60131 and can safely perform those activities.
(e) Waiver of Notice and Hearing in Emergency.— The Secretary may waive the requirements for notice and an opportunity for a hearing under this section and issue expeditiously an order under this section if the Secretary decides failure to issue the order expeditiously will result in likely serious harm to life, property, or the environment. An order under this subsection shall provide an opportunity for a hearing as soon as practicable after the order is issued.

15 U.S. Code § 80a–14 - Size of investment companies
(a) Public offerings
No registered investment company organized after August 22, 1940, and no principal underwriter for such a company, shall make a public offering of securities of which such company is the issuer, unless—
(2) such company has previously made a public offering of its securities, and at the time of such offering had a net worth of at least $100,000; or
(3) provision is made in connection with and as a condition of the registration of such securities under the Securities Act of 1933 [15 U.S.C. 77a et seq.] which in the opinion of the Commission adequately insures
(A) that after the effective date of such registration statement such company will not issue any security or receive any proceeds of any subscription for any security until firm agreements have been made with such company by not more than twenty-five responsible persons to purchase from it securities to be issued by it for an aggregate net amount which plus the then net worth of the company, if any, will equal at least $100,000;
(B) that said aggregate net amount will be paid in to such company before any subscriptions for such securities will be accepted from any persons in excess of twenty-five;
(C) that arrangements will be made whereby any proceeds so paid in, as well as any sales load, will be refunded to any subscriber on demand without any deduction, in the event that the net proceeds so received by the company do not result in the company having a net worth of at least $100,000 within ninety days after such registration statement becomes effective.
At any time after the occurrence of the event specified in clause (C) of paragraph (3) of this subsection the Commission may issue a stop order suspending the effectiveness of the registration statement of such securities under the Securities Act of 1933 [15 U.S.C. 77a et seq.] and may suspend or revoke the registration of such company under this subchapter.
(b) Study on effects of size
The Commission is authorized, at such times as it deems that any substantial further increase in size of investment companies creates any problem involving the protection of investors or the public interest, to make a study and investigation of the effects of size on the investment policy of investment companies and on security markets, on concentration of control of wealth and industry, and on companies in which investment companies are interested, and from time to time to report the results of its studies and investigations and its recommendations to the Congress.

Giant Pyrosome Pyrosoma spinosum
The individuals that make up this giant, floating, colonial tunicate are only about 1 in (2 cm) long, but the giant pyrosome colony, which resembles a gigantic hollow tube, can be large enough for a person to fit inside. Each individual lies embedded in the wall of the tube, with one end drawing in nutrient-laden water from outside and the other end expelling water and waste inside. The expelled water is used to propel the giant pyrosome colony as a whole. A wave of bioluminescent light travels along the community if it is touched.

Researchers in Canada found that high-profile prosecutions related to HIV nondisclosure can discourage some individuals from getting tested for HIV (17 percent) or discussing sexual practices with nurses and physicians (13.8 percent). This same group reported higher rates of unprotected penetrative anal intercourse and internal ejaculation with, on average, a higher number of different sexual partners. They also preferred anonymous HIV testing, which prevents public health officials from helping them contact past sexual partners if they test positive. Laws that prosecute individuals who don't disclose their HIV status are supposed to help protect against the spread, but instead it may well be contributing to the virus' spread by encouraging individuals to ignore their status so they have plausible deniability.

PHOENIX (AP) - A trial in a civil suit brought by Republican voters who claim the state's new legislative maps were illegally drawn up to give Democrats a better chance of winning seats in the state Legislature has wrapped up after five days of testimony. Lawyers gave their closing arguments Friday in a case against the Arizona Independent Redistricting Commission and then were peppered with questions by the three federal judges hearing the case.
The questions showed the judges wondered whether the maps were drawn free of political considerations. Lawyers for the GOP voters are trying to prove the commission's two Democrats and one Independent froze out the two Republicans and illegally put unequal numbers of people in some districts. Lawyers for the commission deny that happened. There's no timetable for a verdict.

Membership in NHS requires completion of three semesters in high school. Students must have completed a full semester at Verrado to be eligible.
The first requirement is Grade Point Average (GPA). Sophomores must have a 4.0 or higher GPA, juniors a 3.85 or higher GPA, and seniors a 3.80 or higher GPA. Transcripts are evaluated each year after Fall Semester grades are posted, and students who meet the GPA requirement receive an application.
The second requirement is prior service, leadership and participation in school, community or church. Applicants must have a certain number of "points" (depending on their grade). Points come from participation in sports, extra-curricular activities, clubs, student government, service organizations, and work in service projects in community or church. Additional points are garnered for participation in a leadership capacity.
The third requirement is character. Applicants will undergo a review of their school disciplinary record, and school faculty and staff are asked to provide input on each applicant.
Students who meet all qualifications as determined by the Faculty Council are invited to join NHS and participate in an induction ceremony in early Spring.
Once students are inducted, they must accumulate 100 points every year through participation in NHS fundraising and service projects, continued participation in sports, clubs, student government, leadership/service organizations, individual service projects, etc.
NHS members receive special recognition at graduation, and wear NHS honor cords as part of their graduation regalia.

Community members ask to replace Hampton Ave. BridgeUPDATED 6:10 PM EDT Oct 16, 2013
A number of local ministers met to talk about replacing the bridge to unite their Greenville County neighborhood once again.Video Transcript
THE EFFORT... TO BRIDGE ONE GREENVILLE COUNTY COMMUNITY CONTINUES. THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT THEY WANT... A BRIDGE. THIS HAS BEEN A BIG STORY... FOR A LOW INCOME COMMUNITY THAT WANTS TO BE CONNECTED... AGAIN. IN A GREENVILLE COUNTY RESTAURANT... A NUMBER OF LOCAL MINISTERS MET TO TALK ABOUT... UNITING THIS GREENVILLE COUNTY NEIGHBORHOOD ONCE AGAIN. no better group of individuals to understand the issue and convey that to the necessary people to make change in the community than your clergy. A YEAR AGO.... THE STATE REMOVED THE HAMPTON AVENUE BRIDGE. we had to remove that bridge for safety reasons and the bridge was very deteriorated and it had some serious structural issues and had the potential to collapse. PEOPLE WHO LIVE AND WORSHIP IN THIS AREA... SAY THIS WAS A HUGE LOSS BECAUSE IT'S THE ONLY WAY TO LITERALLY CROSS THE TRACKS.... WITHOUT HAVING TO WALK MORE THAN A MILE OUT OF THE WAY. THAT IS WHY... PEOPLE HERE ARE UNITING TO GET THEIR... CONNECTING BRIDGE BACK. the main point though nigel is to keep the community together one way or another. IN ORDER TO DO THAT IT WOULD NEED SUPPORT FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT... TO COUNTY... TO CITY. TODAY... GOOD NEWS. i am hopeful... im certain that it will its just a matter of time. BUT WHAT KIND OF BRIDGE WILL IT BE. A PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE WILL END UP COSTING... AROUND 400- THOUSAND DOLLARS. BUT ACCORDING TO SENATOR KARL ALLEN... THAT IS NOT THE COMMUNITIES FIRST CHOICE. the proposals all deal with vehicular bridges at a cost that could be a million and a half. A FEDERAL COMPLAINT WAS FILED WITH THE US DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION THEY ARE WORKING ON TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHY THIS BRIDGE WAS --REALLY-- REMOVED IN THE FIRST PLACE.

Strung along Crete's western coast, the resorts around Chania are relatively tranquil compared to resorts on the east coast, but enjoy stunning scenery and beautiful sandy beaches. Aghia Marina lies just a few kilometres from Chania and boasts a golden sandy beach with plentiful watersports and eateries, while Platanias has beautiful sands and a livelier atmosphere. Most peaceful is Maleme, with its cluster of tavernas and shops bordering a lovely pebble beach.

The importance of thank you
Posted on September 17, 2014 by Laurie Ward, chief marketing and communications officer.
A wise man once told me, "none of us are promised anything in life."
I'll go one step further and add, "So we must be thankful for every opportunity."
Not only should we be thankful, we need to express it. In this day of technology and social media, there are fewer opportunities for personal interactions if you don't make a point of doing it. Often it's easier to send a quick text that says "thnx!" Thank you notes in your personal life are just good manners. They show the type of character you have. And they make the other person feel good. Who doesn't want to be responsible for adding a little joy to someone's day?

The computer culture
by Steve McIntosh
posted Oct 29 2013 1:18AM
I've watched with some amusement … mixed with concern … the fumbling of the Affordable Care Act rollout. I don't see it in a political way … one more reason to bash the president … but as an indication of the power of the computer culture.
Chances are you are hearing this commentary or reading it on a computer. It's a relatively simple procedure that I do every day, using computer programs we've operated several years. It's consistent and it's clean. But what if something goes wrong?
We have people in the building trained to make the computers go when they stop. That's as sophisticated as I can be on computers.
Over the past few months we've seen huge government computer problems at the federal and state levels, as well as our local election office.
We rely on these things for nearly everything in life. Most of us just hope they work, because about all we know to do is reboot.
Our thought for today is from
Queen Juliana of the Netherlands:
"I can't understand it. I can't even understand the people who understand it."

For turkey and red meat, consider a 2004 Raymond Reserve Merlot, says Michael Dresser, food writer at The Baltimore Sun. Bottled in Napa Valley, Calif., the wine runs $24.
"The chardonnays have been too oaky, the reds undistinguished. What a surprise then to open this merlot and find a complex, structured, full-bodied, penetrating red wine that hits all the right notes. Its chocolate, black-cherry and sweet oak flavors are pure and pleasing. It has enough backbone to cellar for five to eight years but is quite drinkable now."
Here are a few additional wines you may want to consider. The recommendations come from Michael Belvin with the Republic National Distribution Company, which serves many wine and grocery stores in Hampton Roads:
Robert Mondavi Napa Fume Blanc. Robert Mondavi was the first wine maker in California that made this type of sauvignon blanc by placing the wine in oak barrels and aging it like French winemakers did in France.
Rodney Strong Chalkhill Chardonnay. The vineyard makes several types of chardonnay, but, for the money, this wine has class, body , and elegance -- great for Thanksgiving or any everyday occasion.
Santa Margarita Pinot Grigio. It's an Italian white wine that sets the benchmark for ALL pinot grigio made worldwide. It has grace, character and is a great show at the dinner table .
Estancia Cabernet Sauvignon. It's a good solid cabernet that has shown vintage-after-vintage quality, always surpassing the cost of the wine .
Franciscan Cabernet Sauvignon. It's a Napa Valley cabernet produced mostly from the Oakville bench area in Napa; several separate vineyard areas are chosen to blend into this exceptional full-bodied red.
North Star Merlot. Washington state's first-class merlot. If this wine was grown and sold in California it would be twice the price easily. It's rull bodied, rich and definitely a crowd pleaser.
"J " Sparkling. WOW what a really nice sparkling wine from Judy Jordan , at the J winery . Her father, who owns Jordan winery, is obviously a mentor who taught her how to make a quality product.
Chandon Napa Valley Blanc De Noir. It's an excellent sparkling that can be matched with strawberries, dark chocolates. and chocolate moose. Made mostly from pinot noir, this sparkling wine is a wonderful gift during the up coming holiday celebrations.
Roeder Anderson Valley Brut . This sparkling wine comes from the same people that make cristal, so you know the quality is exceptional!
Wine experts at Farm Fresh food stores suggest these wines:

Do extremist tactics push environmentalism forwards or backwards?
Burning down buildings, spiking trees, bombing whaling ships, and poisoning fruit juice. These are examples of protest by groups known as eco-extremist or eco-terrorism groups. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) describes eco-terrorism as, " the use or threatened use of violence of a criminal nature against innocent victims or property by an environmentally-oriented, subnational group for environmental-political reasons, or aimed at an audience beyond the target, often of a symbolic nature." Simply, ecoterrorism can be thought of as acts of violence in support of environmentalism.
The documentary-style reality show "Whale Wars" follows an extremist group that throws bombs at whaling ships to discourage them from whaling. Instead of convincing them to stop, the bombs anger the whalers. Groups like Greenpeace have been working peacefully to negotiate the termination of whaling, and they have been successful. For example, in 2010 Greenpeace Japan activists worked with retailers to significantly cut the demand for whale meat, which in turn decreased the number of whales hunted. Also through campaigning, Greenpeace has helped the people of Japan become aware of corruption in the Fisheries Agency of Japan (FAJ) and the whaling industry. The FAJ has since acknowledge this corruption and started to right the wrongs of the Japanese whaling industry, resulting in a reported 30% drop in whale meat sales as of January 2011.
Can extreme tactics ever result in forward progress similar to the progress Greenpeace has made in Japan?
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Jun 2 2012: After reading through some comments it seems that there is a consensus that extremist tactics are not the answer. Is there anyone who thinks that they are necessary? It seems that the phrasing of the question also is partial to saying extremist actions are negative as well as the structure of social norms.
Jun 2 2012: I don't agree with extremist tactics, however, they might be necessary in some instances. They certainly draw attention to themselves and the issue at hand. Their methods might be useful for creating awareness about a particular issue and inspire some people to take action in a similar or perhaps less extreme way. That being said, they can also draw attention in a negative way and turn people off to environmentalism all together.
Jun 3 2012: Although I do not agree with the extreme tactics, I do agree with the fact that they draw attentinon. For example with whale wars, if they had not used the tactics that they do, they probably would not have ever gotten a deal with a television network. If they had not gotten that deal, a lot of the United States would still be really naive about the subject of whaling.
Jun 5 2012: Has whale wars made people of the United States more aware of the subject of whaling or has it has it made people more aware of the actions some people take against whaling ships? What I mean is, do you think that this show has made the general public more knowledgeable on the subject or when they see this show do they just remember the actions of the activists and not what they are actually fighting to stop?
Tina Zhu
Gu EJun 2 2012: A possible argument for extremist action can be that --the targets for extreme action are themselves causing extreme destruction (not to mention that they are also at an advantage financially and politically) and therefore extreme action is therefore justifiable.
I figure that these extremists have sought out the alternative strategies that are more peaceful and less radical and have been routinely met with failure.....that sort of consistent failure to generate real solutions and change while being emotionally invested in your cause can understandably push someone to entertain more provocative measures.
It then becomes a question of whether or not going the extreme route is actually producing results as opposed to whether or not it is justifiable.
-It could be considered successful because we are talking about it
Still, I do believe that these sorts of extreme tactics sullies the positive message and reduces the power of their movement-- essentially giving the other side ammunition to discredit the cause.
Keeping integrity is still very important!
Jun 5 2012: It is true that some targets of extreme activism are themselves causing extreme damage however what about the case of extremists poisoning POM juice to protest for animal rights. Were the consumers of this poisoned juice guilty of extreme destruction? In this case, is it possible there was a better way to try and stop the selling of the juice? Possibly by educating the public on POM's use of animals?
Tina ZhuJun 2 2012: I agree with Christina on this one. Many people hear the word 'extreme environmentalists' and they automatically think crazy and inefficient. But they are in fact a controversial subject. Because they do participate in extreme acts, they end up catching the attention of someone out there. However, they are almost hypocrites because on the way of trying to save our environment, they are harming the environment with their bombs , fires, etc. And many people question if this is the most efficient way to catch people's attention.
Jun 6 2012: I don't think that their actions really bring about much awareness at all. When eco-terrorists burn down housing developments I believe most people think "oh, wow that person is crazy" not "oh, wow housing developments suck". And in terms of non-terrorist extremists, organizations like Peta are super inflammatory. It's really hard to take a cause and organization seriously when they disregard social conventions. And yeah they are hypocrites.
Jun 4 2012: Perhaps the extremists have to result to these extravagant tactics because there isn't enough support for the issue. Using an extremist tactic can allow a small group of people to create an impact of similar magnitude as a larger group using a peaceful tactic. For example, if you saw a group of ten people marching with signs would you really pay attention? What if they were marching with fireworks, or roping themselves to trees? What if there was 100 people instead of ten? What does it take to bring attention to the issue?
Jun 5 2012: Kirsten
Do you think their actions will bring attention to the issue or will it just bring attention to their actions? Is there a way to make sure that extreme actions that grab the world's attention are able to also inform the world of the issue at hand and not just have to focus be on the actions they just preformed?
Jun 5 2012: Interesting question. I think the only way that the attention can be brought to the issue rather than the action would be if the action somehow was capable of demonstrating some aspect of the issue. How this can be achieved, I really don't know. Given the state of modern technology, and the possibility of things spreading like wildfire through the internet, extremist tactics seem to be a thing of the past (depending on what is considered an extremist tactic).
Since the probability of people reacting negatively towards extremist tactics and therefore not wanting to support the cause is so great I would think that advocates would choose to take a different route. The key to success in any kind of tactic would be the headlines of articles. Being labeled an extremist in the press probably won't garner support from majorities and negative public opinion would lead to the downfall of any advocate group.
Jun 5 2012: Although I don't think that extremist tactics are optimal, they do serve to do their job effectively: they increase public awareness. It doesn't seem to me that extremists have a tangible goal of public policy and legal parameter change in mind when they're doing their thing. Extremists rely on the shock factor to alert the public that something problematic is going on that they might not know about. I do not want to be an extremist or fire-bomb places that are being environmentally unfriendly and I do not condone this activity, but I can at least see the merit in their consequence even if I don't endorse their method.

Nine Songs We Want as The Beatles: Rock Band DLC (and Four We Don't)

Nine Songs We Want as The Beatles: Rock Band DLC (and Four We Don't)
Apple (AAPL) is expert at stoking desire, seducing consumers to line up and pay a premium for its newest models. At the moment, though, the hottest iPhones are less expensive—and old. Sales of refurbished iPhone -4-"s and 4S"s are booming among price-conscious shoppers, especially in fast-growing emerging markets, and U.S. phone companies are racing to outdo one another with trade-in deals for customers willing to part with those models. In April, T-Mobile US (TMUS) launched a promotion that lets iPhone 4 and 4S owners swap for an iPhone 5 with no money down.And promote the function--cheap iphone 4 for sale AT&T (T) countered that offer in mid-May, spotting iPhone 4S owners up to $200, its price for a 16-gigabyte iPhone 5.
The pan-Pacific cell phone trade is more than a decade old, but it"s only now becoming a big enough phenomenon to affect phonemakers" futures. Boston-based reseller Gazelle expects to ship its millionth device this year from the U.S.—nearly half are sold to regional resellers based in Hong Kong—and its sales should double to more than $100 million, says Chief Executive Officer Israel Ganot. "The desire of consumers in the U.S. to stay current, combined with very high growth in emerging markets, is creating an incredible opportunity,"he says. "There"s truly insatiable demand in some of those markets."Gazelle"s website offers about $210 for an iPhone 4S with 32 gigabytes of hard drive space, which typically sells for $450.
Sprint Nextel (S), T-Mobile, and AT&T rely on contractors such as ERecyclingCorps and Brightstar, who buy used phones, spend $50 or so to polish up scratches and wipe old data, and resell them at a profit to distributors, usually in Asia. While only 15 percent of people trade in old phones today, that"ll grow as more consumers realize they can get hundreds of dollars for a high-end smartphone instead of tossing it in a drawer, says ERecyclingCorps CEO Dave Edmondson.
Historically, Apple has frowned on the refurbished iPhone industry as an impediment to new sales, but the trade-in boom is helping the company solve two problems at once. It"s clearing unsold iPhone 5 inventory in the U.S. while making used iPhones an option for hundreds of millions of first-time smartphone buyers in Asia, the Middle East, and Africa. Without these cheaper options, Apple would be losing even more share to smartphones that run Google"s (GOOG) Android operating system, which has 59 percent of the global market to Apple"s 19 percent, according to research firm Canalys. "It"s a win-win for Apple,"says NPD Group analyst Stephen Baker. "It"s helping slow the tide of Android."
In January, Apple was weighing whether to release a less expensive plastic-enclosed iPhone, according to a person familiar with the project who wasn"t authorized to discuss it publicly. The company intended to sell the low-end device, with a cheaper screen and slower chips than the iPhone 5, for as little as $99 without a contract. Now, Apple is working with Brightstar to help T-Mobile and others streamline and expand their trade-in and resale programs, says Bela Lainck, president of Brightstar"s buyback and trade-in group. "Apple doesn"t have a mid-tier device, and this is a way for them to open their ecosystem to a wider base of people,"he says. Apple didn"t respond to a request for comment.
Rising sales of new iPhone 4"s and 4S"s have already decreased the average price of an iPhone to $613 from $635 in the past year. During Apple"s latest earnings call, sCEO Tim Cook said the company cut prices to help hold market share and make its phones "more attractive to first-time buyers."Apple should goose sales further by reselling used models itself rather than rolling out a cheapo new model, says NPD"s Baker. "Why tarnish what you"re doing by bringing out something that isn"t going to meet its standards?"he says. "Apple already has a lower-end iPhone, and it"s the iPhone 4 and 4S."

Ecstatic iPhone fan Michael Fisher, who was one of the first people in Britain to own a new iPhone5S, celebrates with his new purchase outside the Apple Store on Regent Street on September 20, 2013 in London, England. Some consumers have queued for five days, sleeping in makeshift tents, to be the first to own the new updated iPhone.
Apple stores will now fix your new iPhone and use replacement parts, and stop handing out new phones to replace damaged iPhone 5Ss and iPhone 5Cs.
The new policy sends special machinery to Apple stores to make replacement touchscreens, according to 9to5 Mac. Other replacement parts for the iPhone 5C and iPhone 5S will be on hand so that workers will no longer have to hand out costly new iPhones to fully replace damaged ones.
Screen replacements are rumored to be $149, and the stores can replace volume buttons, the vibrating motor, rear camera and speaker system for the new iPhones. It also can replace the $29 home button on the iPhone 5C, but probably won't be able to change out the iPhone 5S button. If customers buy an AppleCare warranty, part replacements (due to defects) are free. If not, expect to pay more.

At Krieser Family Chiropractic, we provide Nashotah, Hartland, Oconomowoc and the Lakeland area with the most specific
chiropractic care possible through the Gonstead method. The Gonstead method is a system of chiropractic
care involving structural, x-ray, thermographic (heat), kinesthetic (motion) and soft tissue analysis
on each visit. This allows Dr. Krieser to provide the proper adjustment, in the proper way, at the
proper time. Gonstead chiropractors adjust the spine in a way that is biomechanically sound by
limiting the twisting and rotation which can be harmful to the cartilage discs of the spine.
This provides the patient with the opportunity for maximum healing and optimal health.
As a "Hands on" chiropractor, Dr. Ken provides care that is safe, effective and specific to each
patient's individual needs. He strives to restore health as efficiently as possible so that
you can get back to enjoying life. As a group, we focus on natural methods that are practical and sustainable for the whole family!

this wiki
Welcome to the /int/ language learning guide. The information here, although excellent, is rather general and should serve only as a guideline. The page is compiled from a collection of posts made throughout /int/, from a very large variety of posters, from many countries. We would like to thank each of these anons for sharing their knowledge, while asking those who feel they could add to this wiki to please contribute.
Language specific guides are here , but it cannot be stressed enough that this general guide should be read first.
How to learn a language, /int/ style.
Most likely, you already have an idea of the language you want to learn. If you don't, or are just looking for a new challenge, look here. If you know what language you want to learn but there isn't a guide for it here, you can request it on my talkpage.
Please excuse any minor spelling errors on here, many people who have helped write this guide do not have English as a first language. Feel free to correct where necessary.
Coming soon: Military languages guide.
If you can speak any languages which are particularly useful for the military such as Dari, Pashto, Ukrainian, Syrian Arabic etc, please make yourself known!
The Very Basics
What is the purpose of this wiki?
Hopefully it's to succeed in making something as rewarding as learning a foreign language less scary, and a more enjoyable experience. This guide contains a variety of tips, resources, DOs and DON'Ts gathered from mostly 4chan's /int/ board. While the tips here come from experienced users who have learned a new language enough times to know what they're talking about you should always experiment and see what works best for yourself.
How can I use it?
After reading this guide, jump to the language you want to learn by clicking here .
How can I help?
Go to the main page of any given language and contribute with what ever you can. Every page usually follows a template so all you need to do is type in the name of a language you feel you can contribute to and see what's missing from the temple. Simple things such as movies, music, books and so on that you take for granted are things others might have a hard time finding. Don't underestimate your knowledge and don't hesitate to contribute what ever you consider useful. Even correcting spelling mistakes can help a lot! If a page doesn't exist yet either request one to be made on /int/ or give it a try and create it yourself. Don't be afraid to ask, we're here to help.
More brotips on the main page are always welcomed as well. Don't be afraid to add bullet points of your own. Any contribution is always welcome. Knowledge is power and we thank you for sharing it.
So, how does one learn a language?
First and foremost make sure you do not spend more time reading about learning how to learn a language rather than actually learning a language. This is a mistake a good deal of people do, some ending up spending years "learning" without anything to show for.
The thing with languages, short of dropping everything and immersing yourself in a different culture, and only speaking 'x' language, there is no perfect end all be all method for learning. It's for this reason that you can find various different ways to learn using this wiki, for you see all of us are different, in that we all learn differently. Some of us like to study grammar books for 5 hours a day, while others would sooner burn books and watch movies all day. The best advice we can give you is to is to try a bunch of different resources and see which ones work for you. Then use them in combination with each other to get a balanced education.
I don't sound like a native! I need to practise before I try talking to people.
Not the case at all. This is a common mindset among people who learn languages often, and quite a detrimental one at that. You see, one of, if not the single most important aspect of language learning, is using the skills you pick up with other people. This means that you need to speak the language. Ideally from day one. Don't be afraid of making mistakes and sounding foolish. It's going to take lots of mistakes and lots of practise to speak your language at a passable level. many people find that the native speakers you chat to don't mind your mistakes, and when they see you working so hard to progress, are more than happy to help you improve.
What do I need to learn a language?
Patience. Determination. Perseverance. With those three things on your side, eve the dullest among us can learn a language. Learning languages really isn't all that difficult. It just takes a lof ot time and a lot of practise. That, and a lot of paper and ink. If you're into having physical copies of books, or if you prefer to download them, links for either will hopefuly be available to you. The contributors do their best and happily give what you what ever link or name they can find. What you do with them is up to you entirely.
tl;dr At least 1 hour a day using one or several of the programs, websites or books you find posted here.
I don't have anyone to practise with!
Make buddies with people on /int/ and continue your bromance (no homo) outside of it. Good luck!
So I've got my language picked out but, where do I start?
Now's the time for you to get down to business and start exploring your language. As said above, one of the most important aspect of language learning is actually speaking and using the thing you have learnt in everyday life. Be it with friends over the internet, or with that cute girl at the local coffee shop. In addition to that, you'll need to study some grammar, and the best way to do that is with a book, some paper and a pen. People generally find this boring, but there's no substitute for the early grammar lessons you go through, as these truly allow you to speak and eventually think in the language.
Aside from those little tips we have for you, it's completely up to you. If you like reading dictionaries and making flash cards, then go for it. Interested in watching movies and listening to music? Another way to learn. Perhaps you like making grocery lists in your language and doing all your daily chores in it as well? Great way to pick up practical knowledge. The main thing we can say to you, is to keep at it, and have some fun with it!
Learning a language is too hard! Will ever be fluent?
Learning a language, despite what you may have been told, is surprinsgly not that hard or intellectually demanding. Like most things though, it requires a good deal of work and practise to become good at. But who says the work and practise has to be boring? You're working towards an education in which one of the primary ways you can study is by telling jokes or watching movies all day. Got a particular TV show you like watching? Chances are there's a dub out there, waiting for you to watch it.
Fluency is a funny thing. Nowadays, due to the emphasis placed on learning English, some people who a non English first language, even have accents and perhaps even sound like foreigner. What you should focus on, is being able to simply get into a conversation with someone and express yoru thoguths and ideas in a clear and concise manner. The less you have to think about saying something, the closer you are to fluency. Don't think of fluency in terms of years or months. Think of it in terms of "When will I be able to THINK in the language?" And the answer to that is after a lot of practise speaking and listening.
What do I study first?
The basics. Don't get carried away with trying to learn complex sentences if you can't count to 100, say where you are from or know how to describe colours and the likes.
How difficult is it to learn a foreign language?
There are simply too many languages out there to cover them all, but any language can be mastered as long as you dedicate time to it. You can do it, it doesn't take much just that you study often! Believe in me who believes in you, your fluency and grammar will pierce the heavens! But the Foreign Service Institute (FSI) of the US Department of State has compiled approximate learning expectations for a number of languages based on the length of time it takes to achieve fluency.
For reference in regards to English speakers, look here and here.
Grammar is so boring! How in the world do I study this stuff?
Grammar. This is a fun one. Most people can't stand studying grammar, me included. Yet without grammar, one can't hope to make very much progress. For this reason, it is recommended you start grammar early and continue with it every chance you get. If you don't like grammar very much, just do a maximum of say 30 minutes a day. It may be boring but the rewards far outweigh the boringness. Think of learning a language like mathematics. If you don't know basic arithmetic, you have no chance of doing algebra. Much in the same way, if you don't know any grammar, when you speak the language you risk fucking it up often.
Brotip 1: Don't be afraid to make mistakes or sound silly but do try to correct yourself whenever you notice you're making one. Learning a language is a lengthy process, sure you might think your progress is slow at first but if you use the material posted in "GENERAL RESOURCES" daily what you learn will stick with you until the day you die. You might even forget you know an expression and just find yourself using it. With that in mind, don't be discouraged by what you don't yet know but be motivated in knowing that whatever knowledge you've gathered is there to stay.
Brotip 2: There is no big fucking secret. There are no shortcuts to this and there are no significantly better ways to learn a language than what can be found in this sticky. Using the tools at your disposal daily is the best thing you can fucking do. Even if it's just playing a Pimsleur 30 minutes audio file as you're steadily falling asleep, though I do recommend taking this seriously, make sure you use the language you're trying to learn daily.
Brotip 3: Watch shows and movies in the language you're trying to learn. Even playing a movie or listening to a song, in said language, in the background can help you get used to it. Surround yourself with the language, learn the tones and the phonetic of it, make it so that your brain gets accustomed to hearing it. Again back to immersion. This will greatly speed up your learning process! Do this even if you don't understand anything. Don't be discouraged by a book in, let's say, Spanish because you don't think your skills are quite there yet. Even if it takes you a day to get through 5 pages that's still progress! This also brings us to a very important point: Read a book nigga!
Brotip 4: Read and/or listen until you find a word you RECOGNIZE, put this word in your flash card program that has been mentioned before. The flash card program IS VERY IMPORTANT. The flash card program is the closest thing you'll find to a shortcut for language learning. Learn how to use it and use it well. After 200 words or so, put in sentences instead. Use example sentences from a dictionary where you are absolutely sure of the translation. Don't be an idiot and make up your own stuff! Doing your language reviews daily is again the key.
Brotip 5: This is mentioned a few times but I can't stress how important it is. DO NOT use a single resource for language learning! Every tool is great but no tool is great enough to handle it alone. Expand yourself, don't be afraid to explore! Try it out, don't dismiss Rosetta Stone or Pimsleur or Duolingo because a family member, friend or even /int/ told you they're not good enough. It can take you only 10 to 40 minutes to try them out and see for yourself. You have the list of tools, organize how you use them yourself! Be warned not to overdo it though. Being passionate about your studying is good but an overkill will just overload you with information that will then get lost.
Brotip 6: If you're having problems keeping up the daily stuff, motivation is the key! Be it moving to Italy or Moonland or being able to visit the world and speak with shopkeepers in their language. What ever it is, find your drive and use it to keep you at this shit daily!
Brotip 7: If it's a phonemic language like Russian, memorize the sounds and read the words out loud. The reading speed will increase exponentially with practice and your mind will get more used to the other script. If it's a character-based language like Chinese, memorize your characters. Chances are you won't be learning from scratch in the country where it's spoken, so start with the written part. Memorize, memorize, doodle the characters on a separate notebook, improve your calligraphy. The threshold for becoming fluent in Chinese is knowing 3000 characters. That's a shitload of unique symbols so practice practice, practice, and don't give up.
Brotip 8: GRAMMAR. Can't stress that topic enough. You can't go around repeating phrases Rosetta Stone gave you. There's a point where you need to actually think what you're going to say, and there's no set amount of memorized phrases that will help you avoid grammar. Learn the structure of the language and its intricate details (i.e Russian and its pain-in-the-ass grammatical cases). Put that notebook and pen to good use and write shit down. Repeat it even when not necessary. Whenever you learn a new word, play with it and see what you can do using grammar. This is so important I really can't stress it enough. Yes children learn a new language without grammar and yes you can do it too but years of hard study by ear could be turned into just a year of hard study thanks to the power and magic of GRAMMAR.
Brotip 9: For physical material, increase your memory skill by means of synesthesia (i.e. color markers). I didn't need them when I was learning English and French, but they were a major time-saver for me once I started with German. Instead of attaching a "der" or a "die" before a given noun, I would use a marker: blue for masculine, pink for feminine and yellow for neutral. I'm dead fucking serious: it did wonders for me back in the days... Now that I'm learning Mandarin, color markers are also a must if you don't want to get completely insane with the fucking tones: pink for tone 1, green for tone 2, blue for tone 3, yellow for tone 4... and orange for those weird cases when there's no tone at all.
Brotip 10: Find native speakers, other students can negatively influence your language. Especially if you speak the target language with them. You might catch on to each others mistakes. Use lang-8.com and mylanguageexchange.com to find people.
Technical Advice
When you are learning a language, there is usually a big chance that it has characters which don't exist in your native alphabet. This is especially true if you are a native English speaker, where even languages relatively close, such as Norwegian and German have some extra characters, without even thinking about languages such as Russian or Arabic, which are entirely different. You do not need to buy a new keyboard or constantly use an online virtual keyboard for these characters.
If you are using Windows, it is very simple to add a new language, following these simple instructions . Once the language you want is installed, simply press Shift+Alt together to switch to the new keyboard, and just press them again to switch back.
If you use Mac, follow the instructions here . Once the language is installed, simply press Command+Space to switch between keyboards, and press it again to switch back.
For Linux, it will vary depending on your distro. For the two most common ones, Ubuntu and Mint, the instructions are very similar. When the language is installed, switch quickly between the language you are using by setting up a custom keyboard shortcut, described in the guide above.
Small changes such as changing the language you are learning to your default on Facebook , your phone, your desktop or in games, are very highly recommended. Some people have even said that have learnt English entirely from playing video games. A video game shouldn't be your only source of learning, but it can definitely help if you are still learning it passively while relaxing.
General Resources
In general, it is not necessary for you to buy language software in order to learn a foreign language. Keep in mind that when learning a language, there is no ultimate source of knowledge. No one resource is perfect. For this reason you need to constantly be looking for new sources to learn from. Have one book for grammar, one book for idioms, a dictionary or two, a couple of books for script learning. Watch some tv and listen to some music. Like lots of other skills, language learning requires a complete package of tools. However, language software can also provide you with a good overview of a language's basic structure

Thinking of doing a little landscaping in the yard this weekend? If you're looking to spruce up your home without breaking the bank, we've got some great money-saving secrets you won't want to miss. Ed Castro, who owns Ed Castro Landscaping, says you don't have to spend a fortune to have a healthy lawn. For green grass, Castro says you need an aerator. It promotes a healthy root system by poking a hole in the grass and creating oxygenation. And Castro says there's no need to be intimidated by the machine's size, because its very easy to rent them at a garden center, hardware store, or big box retailer and have them deliver it to you.
Castro also suggest splitting the cost and rental time with a neighbor to make it even cheaper. He says this is the perfect time of year to do it. When it comes to mulch, Castro says there are lots of kinds to choose from—from pine bark to hardwood. Some are brown and some are tan, so they can bring a different texture to your landscaping while serving the same purpose.
Castro says you should stay away from color-treated mulch, and don't use plastic in between the dirt and the mulch. It actually blocks the transference of nutrients into the soil. He says you should use about an inch of mulch, which is just enough to cool the roots system. That cooling effect locks in moisture, won't dry it out, and also eliminates erosion. In the end, it retains water while also looking great. All life needs water, of course, and Castro says gadgets like a timer will not only save you money, but also ensure your landscaping isn't over-hydrated. He says an inch of water a week is plenty. You shouldn't use more than that, or you'll create some problems by the middle of the summer. Ed says the best time to water your lawn is in the morning. After a long rain, he says you should wait until the weather is rain-free and hot for three days consistently before you start to water again. More info: Ed Castro Landscaping

ANN ARBOR, MI (WTVB) - Michigan senior defensive back Courtney Avery will be out of action at least two weeks following surgery on his right knee on Saturday. Avery was among the four players voted captain by his teammates last weekend. Coach Brady Hoke, at his weekly news conference Monday, revealed the Wolverine's depth chart and a surprise was the name of redshirt freshman Drake Johnson, who earned the number two running back spot behind fifth year senior Fitz Toussaint. Michigan opens up at home Saturday against Central Michigan while Michigan State kicks off its schedule Friday night in East Lansing against Western Michigan. M-S-U has won eight straight in the series with the Broncos.
