"A new analysis of four blended-format courses taught last fall offers practical guidance for faculty members interested in fresh pedagogical approaches.
The pilot study led by the Bok Center for Teaching and Learning and released today after months of checks and balances showed that students responded most to lesson structure and execution, placed a premium on person-to-person interaction, and found redundancies between in-class and online instruction."

"Our third cohort of AmeriCorps Volunteers In Service To America (VISTA) members recently began their second month of service. New Members joined at The Exploratory: Maker Guilds (Los Angeles, CA), Lighthouse Community Charter School(Oakland, CA) and Maker Education Initiative (Oakland, CA). They will spend 365 days in maker-centered, capacity-building initiatives which address poverty through maker education with an emphasis on science, technology, engineering, math, and arts. Maker VISTA Program Manager, Tiffany Thompson emphasizes that "Making infused into a community has the potential to impact multiple facets ranging from academic to youth development or even economic. Ultimately, youth are our priority beneficiaries for Maker VISTA impact."

To Whoever Will Listen:
"We are teachers at Science Park High School in Newark, New Jersey, and we are deeply disturbed by the thirty days of disruption being forced on our school. In the coming weeks, like the rest of New Jersey, we will be forced to administer the PARCC exam. A few weeks ago we saw the schedule: three weeks of testing in March, followed by three weeks of testing in May. This total does not include the additional week of make-up testing following each of the three-week periods. This total does not include the days of mandatory test preparation to familiarize students with the exam's very specific computer interface. This total does not include the thousands of hours of training of teachers and administrators to plan, schedule, and execute this exam. We honestly believe that The State of New Jersey, by forcing us to administer this time-devouring test, is engaged in behavior destructive to the educational well being of our students."

A while back, I was asked, "What engages students?" Sure, I could respond, sharing anecdotes about what I believed to be engaging, but I thought it would be so much better to lob that question to my own eighth graders. The responses I received from all 220 of them seemed to fall under 10 categories, representing reoccurring themes that appeared again and again. So, from the mouths of babes, here are my students' answers to the question: "What engages students?"
Jim Lerman's insight:
Excellent observations for we educators, from our students, about how to engage them in their own learning. Most of this article is direct quotes from 8th graders.

"Following months of anticipation and speculation, the U.S. Department of Education (DOE) recently published regulations for teacher preparation programs under Title II of the Higher Education Act. These proposed federal regulations would require states to rate teacher preparation at one of four levels—exceptional, effective, at-risk, or low-performing—based on certain indicators of quality, such as student learning, employment, and survey outcomes. Programs labeled as at-risk or low-performing would be barred from receiving TEACH grants, which are distributed to graduates who agree to serve in high-need fields or schools and represent an important source of federal funding for colleges and schools of education.
"To help our readers further assess this issue and gauge the key differences between the DOE's proposed regulations and CAEP standards, Eduventures analyzed the thousands of submitted comments. Five overarching themes emerged:"

I'm happy to announce that I have just been appointed Director of the brand new Possibility Zone Makerspace at Kean University. This is part of a long-term grant and will have a focus on STEM students and professors and the preparation of pre-service K-12 STEM teachers.
As part of the project, I plan to start a new Scoop.it topic on Makerspaces very soon. I'm looking for blogs, websites, wikis, videos, ezines, ebooks, paper.li feeds, etc. that deal with Makerspaces and things related to them. Basically, I want to set up an information flow to curate.
If you have an idea or resource for me to check out, could you please send it? I think a helpful way would be to use the "Reactions" link that appears on the bottom left of this Scoop.it window when you mouse over it. (If you're reading this, it's likely that you can see it now.) Please be sure to include URLs in your suggestions.
Thank you so much for your help. I'm really looking forward to this new opportunity and hope to be of assistance to others through the new topic here on Scoop.it.

PS - The photo is not of our Makerspace at Kean, but one at the Cincinnati Public Library. We have just started to create /design our space. What fun!

"Hundreds of students fill the seats, but the lecture hall stays quiet enough for everyone to hear each cough and crumpling piece of paper. The instructor speaks from a podium for nearly the entire 80 minutes. Most students take notes. Some scan the Internet. A few doze.
"In a nearby hall, an instructor, Catherine Uvarov, peppers students with questions and presses them to explain and expand on their answers. Every few minutes, she has them solve problems in small groups. Running up and down the aisles, she sticks a microphone in front of a startled face, looking for an answer. Students dare not nod off or show up without doing the reading.
"Both are introductory chemistry classes at the University of California campus here in Davis, but they present a sharp contrast — the traditional and orderly but dull versus the experimental and engaging but noisy. Breaking from practices that many educators say have proved ineffectual, Dr. Uvarov's class is part of an effort at a small but growing number of colleges to transform the way science is taught."

"I decided to change the bargain with my students. Attendance would be mandatory. Homework would be daily. There would be a reading assignment for every class. But when they got to class, they would talk to each other instead of listening to me. In class, I would become a coach helping students practice rather than an oracle spouting truths. We would "flip the classroom," as they say: students would prepare for class in their rooms, and would spend their classroom time doing what we usually call "homework"—solving problems.
"And they would solve problems collaboratively, sitting around tables in small groups. Students would learn to learn from each other, and the professor would stop acting as though his job was to train people to sit alone and think until they came up with answers. A principal objective of the course would be not just to teach the material but to persuade these budding computer scientists that they could learn it. It had to be a drawing-in course, a confidence-building course, not a weeding-out course.
"I immediately ran into one daunting obstacle: there was no place to teach such a course. Every classroom big enough to hold 40 or 50 students was set up on the amphitheater plan perfected in Greece 2,500 years ago. Optimal for a performer addressing an audience; pessimal, as computer scientists would say, for students arguing with each other. The School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) had not a single big space with a flat floor and doors that could be closed."

The cancellation of the mandatory long-form census has damaged research in key areas, from how immigrants are doing in the labour market to how the middle class is faring, while making it more difficult for cities to ensure taxpayer dollars are being spent wisely, planners and researchers say.
Canada got rid of the mandatory census, and is discovering it can no longer know much about itself.

To test the hypothesis that lecturing maximizes learning and course performance, we metaanalyzed 225 studies that reported data on examination scores or failure rates when comparing student performance in undergraduate science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) courses under traditional lecturing versus active learning. The effect sizes indicate that on average, student performance on examinations and concept inventories increased by 0.47 SDs under active learning (n = 158 studies), and that the odds ratio for failing was 1.95 under traditional lecturing (n = 67 studies). These results indicate that average examination scores improved by about 6% in active learning sections, and that students in classes with traditional lecturing were 1.5 times more likely to fail than were students in classes with active learning. Heterogeneity analyses indicated that both results hold across the STEM disciplines, that active learning increases scores on concept inventories more than on course examinations, and that active learning appears effective across all class sizes—although the greatest effects are in small (n ≤ 50) classes. Trim and fill analyses and fail-safe n calculations suggest that the results are not due to publication bias. The results also appear robust to variation in the methodological rigor of the included studies, based on the quality of controls over student quality and instructor identity. This is the largest and most comprehensive metaanalysis of undergraduate STEM education published to date. The results raise questions about the continued use of traditional lecturing as a control in research studies, and support active learning as the preferred, empirically validated teaching practice in regular classrooms.
Kids nowadays have short attention spans.So every classroom lesson should have active learning incorporated...

"The flipped learning model of instruction has begun to make the transition from an educational buzzword to a normative practice among many university instructors, and with good reason. Flipped learning provides many benefits for both faculty and students. However, instructors who use flipped learning soon find out that a significant amount of work is sometimes necessary to win students over to this way of conducting class. Even when the benefits of flipped learning are made clear to students, some of them will still resist. And to be fair, many instructors fail to listen to what students are really saying.
"Most student "complaints" about flipped learning conceal important questions about teaching and learning that are brought to the surface because of the flipped environment. Here are three common issues raised by students and the conversation-starters they afford."

"U.S. Department of Education data claiming only 41% of students who start college finish is not accurate, according to a new report from the National Student Clearinghouse Research Center. The center studied data on freshmen entering college in 2008 and found the completion rate to be 55.03% when they considered students who graduated from a different college from where they first enrolled. The federal numbers do not track transfers."

The call to reexamine what teachers teach can bring renewed discussions of how. With tools like augmented reality, games, and coding, it's possible to imagine a model of schooling that departs from its behaviorist past—creating a Ludic Education for a Ludic Age, promoting inquiry, collaboration, experimentation, and play. In this vision, teachers and students are partners in a joint venture. They open up the Teaching Machine to peer into its guts and gears—tinkering, failing, and trying again, to see what they can make of it together. The machines can return education to what it's always been: a project that's intrinsically human.
Is being a Luddite really that bad? I think of this as someone who questions the way technology, including digital technologies, is used. If it oppressive use, then we should not use it. We seem to have lost sight of the need to care and support teachers and students in their classroom roles.

"I've been working on a book for a while now called Teaching Machinesthat explores the history of education technology in the twentieth century. And this year I've started a series on my blog, Hack Education, that also documents some of this lost or forgotten history. (I've looked at the origins of multiple choice tests and multiple choice testing machines, the parallels between the "Draw Me" ads and for-profit correspondence schools of the 1920s and today's MOOCs, and the development of one of my personal favorite pieces of ed-tech, the Speak & Spell.) See, I'm exhausted by the claims by the latest batch of Silicon Valley ed-tech entrepreneurs and their investors that ed-tech is "new" and that education -- I'm quoting from the New York Times here -- "is one of the last industries to be touched by Internet technology." Again, this is a powerful and purposeful re-telling and revising of history designed to shape the direction of the future."

"Craig Lambert notes the connections between a growth mindset and maker movement in a blog post he wrote for the Maker Faire Atlanta.
"I'm aware that many, if not all, Makers seem to hold the growth mindset. They relish challenges, they want to stretch themselves, they want to try and do things that they have never done before. In fact, it seems that what we really need as a human race is a whole lot more people with the growth mindset in order to tackle and overcome the many challenges we face. "

The increasing complexity of the world in which we live and work requires us to be more sophisticated in how we learn. We must be better prepared to learn on demand, with minimum disruption to our workflow and productivity. With this goal in mind, it is increasingly critical that the resources we put in place to help us learn—and ultimately perform—be as direct, effective, and instantly available as possible.
To accomplish this, we must move away from individual, siloed, "one-off" solutions to an ecosystem comprised of multi-faceted learning and performance options that enhance the environments in which we work and learn.
This complimentary white paper, by Marc J. Rosenberg and Steve Foreman, explores learning and performance ecosystems from conceptual, technological, cultural, and managerial perspectives, and looks into how this new framework will dramatically impact the ways in which people learn and work. It lays a foundation for further discussion, experimentation, and innovation into new ways to leverage all that we know about learning to improve workforce performance.

It's been too long since I blogged about the crazyness outside my door, but life will bite you like that every once in a while. The current list of outrages is long and ridiculous so let me get out my cynical fork and knife and we'll dive right in. BP is in the top ten; poor choices, poor moves and poor Tony Hayward's chances of getting "his life back" increased as speculation mounted that he could lose his job.
Call me cynical but if he does, "resign" I'm sure he'll be thrilled with his platinum parachute. Then he can go to another company and start all over again – just don't let him speak in public unless it's a prepared speech with no questions afterward.Sara Palin (well now I feel like I'm swimming in the Gulf about 60 miles out, what a greasy bad taste in my mouth) thinks we should drill more wells, preferably in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.
While we are facing the greatest natural disaster in North American history she wants to destroy more of the world. Call me cynical but I think she really hates wild animals and she's getting a few more than 30 silver pieces from some company for her "drill baby drill" mantra. Hmm could be.Israel is painted as a Nazi country for their actions in attacking a ship in international waters.
Call me cynical but if they planned the action to maximize the damage they'd do to their reputation they couldn't have done better. If they thought this was a great idea they need a collective brain enema. If they didn't think that and really thought the raid would go off in their favor, they better look for a traitor in their planning and public relations departments. If they were concerned about supplies and equipment being a front for arms they definitely needed to wait, escort the ships in and then frisk them. Then when they went to intercept flotilla, (preferably in broad daylight) they should have had every major news organization's reporter with them to document everything. They could have been heroes and offended that their waters were violated. Gee hindsight is more than 20/20 it sucks. Israel is pretty screwed no matter what they do, but when their ultra right wing conservative religious faction insists every man, woman and child in Gaza is a terrorist they aren't helping themselves. It's not the reality of the situation; it's perception that shapes world opinion.South Carolina is at it again. Governor Mark K. Sanford (R) is a Bill Clinton in training apparently. He said he has been with many women but didn't cross the "ultimate line" until he met a dear, dear friend and then after 7 years of friendship it slipped into something a little more than friendly. Now comes word from The Palmetto Sate that state Representative Nikki Haley (R) is also embroiled in a potential scandal with not one but two men.
OH those crazy Republican kids, the shenanigans they get up to! I guess being so repressed makes for horny, horny "servants of the people". What is it with that state? Is it so boring that that's all they have to do? I seriously doubt it. Do they put hormones in the water? Don't they know they're already there? But I do have to love the fact that they are equal opportunity sex scandal makers. Guy's turn next, right?
The Catholic Church is excommunicating women.
Mercy is not strained in Shakespeare but the RC has another agenda. The oldest of the old guard are feeling their mortality and with their ossified brains have seemingly just realized that women have developed spines and minds of their own. Not only is there the, well the first word that sprang to mind was, abortion in Arizona and the tender mercy the RC Bishop offered when he automatically excommunicated the woman who received the abortion and Sister McBride. Lisa Sowle Cahill, a professor of Catholic theology at Boston College, says, "The official church position would mandate that the correct solution would be to let both the mother and the child die." Ah mercy, seems it's reserved for men only in the RC church. Doesn't matter if they're pedophiles, plain old child molesters or keep a concubine and child well hidden, paying them off for decades before getting caught. Oh I forgot homosexual men seem to be equated to women in the RC vision of the world. Other than that it is fine do what you want – IF you're a male.
Nashville brags about their lack of looting.
"Our flood is nothing like Katrina, we don't loot here, well only a little." Nashville and all of Middle Tennessee has a right to be proud of the response of its citizens who pitched in and helped friends, neighbors, and strangers. They risked their lives in some cases and that is to be honored. But they keep crowing about how few looters were found and how Katrina was horrible for looting. Katrina was horrible, but bragging about how much better you are than someone else isn't cricket, and it demeans all the effort, toil and sacrifice that Tennessee's citizens willingly gave.

Cardiogenic shock is when the heart has been damaged so much that it is unable to supply enough blood to the organs of the body.
Shock - cardiogenic
Cardiogenic shock occurs when the heart is unable to pump as much blood as the body needs.
The most common causes are serious heart complications. Many of these occur during or after a heart attack (myocardial infarction). These complications include:
An exam will show:
To diagnose cardiogenic shock, a catheter (tube) may be placed in the lung artery (right heart catheterization ). Tests may show that blood is backing up into the lungs and the heart is not pumping well.
Tests include:
Other studies may be done to find out why the heart is not working properly.
Lab tests include:
Cardiogenic shock is a medical emergency. You will need to stay in the hospital, most often in the Intensive Care Unit. The goal of treatment is to find and treat the cause of shock to save your life.
You may need medicines to increase blood pressure and improve heart function, including:
These medicines may help in the short-term. They are not often used for a long time.
When a heart rhythm disturbance (dysrhythmia) is serious, urgent treatment may be needed to restore a normal heart rhythm. This may include:
You may also receive:
Other treatments for shock may include:
In the past, the death rate from cardiogenic shock ranged from 80 - 90%. In more recent studies, this rate has decreased to 50 - 75%.
When cardiogenic shock is not treated, the outlook is poor.
Go to the emergency room or call the local emergency number (such as 911) if you have symptoms of cardiogenic shock. Cardiogenic shock is a medical emergency.
You may reduce the risk of developing cardiogenic shock by:

Dougherty, ex-1915, save some "Sketches in a New Art" for the benefit of the Belgians. She has been studying for four months at the Metropolitan Ballet School and the prog- ress she has made in muscular control and toe dancing was astonishing to all who saw her performance. The pro- gramme was entirely of her own creation, only the Arabesque and Badinage were taken from the Ballet School. Clad in native costume�"red boots and clinking coins"�she opened with a Hungarian dance. As Pierrot, she interpreted the futile love of Harlequin for the moon and his final triumph through death. With peacock feathers and blending blues and greens, she became the enticing personi- flcation of "whims" in a Caprice a Vien- nois. Her ambition, however, has been to combine with motion, words intoned with the music. The Drama of the Seasons exemplified this type of production. Al- though the co-ordination of the three has not yet been perfected.'a new element Is introduced into dancing which when worked out will no doubt prove a suc- cess. The Dream of the Lotus made an exquisitely lovely ending in "amber and gold." L. Davidson. D. Perkins. E. Pugh and M. Thompson assisted in making the programme complete. The proceeds alto- gether amounted to one hundred and forty-five dollars. At the request of the Alumna; attend- ing the Finance Committee Meeting In Philadelphia this month we reprint the history of the cut rule as presented to the Hoard of Directors of Bryn Mawr Col- lego in the Undergradute petition of mber 19. "On October 19 at morning chapel, President Thomas announced that a rule regarding attendance at lectures had been passed by the faculty, according to which each unexcused cut taken should be penalized by reduction of grade. The reason given for the adaption of the rule 111 that statistics taken during the year 191144 showed an excessive amount of cutting by the average undergraduate The undergraduates, however, felt that no such rule was justified, and in a meeting of the Cndergraduate Associa- tion it was unanimously decided to send a committee to President Thomas to pro test against the rule. This committee accomplished nothing. President Thomas told the Chairman, however, that she would like to meet the undergraduates to explain to them the faculty point of view. The Cndergraduate Association then voted to hold a meeting to which President Thomas and the faculty who passed the rule shouldbe invited to dis cuss the matter with the students. Ptlll dent Thomas accepted the invitation, stating however, that it would be unfit ting for the faculty to meet the under- graduates for discussion but that she would present the faculty point of view. "The meeting with President Thomas was held on Oct. H. After this meeting the undergraduates still remained uneon vinced of the necessity for a cut rule. and. since President Thomas had told the undergraduates that they could com- municate with the faculty in writing, the Cndergraduate Association voted to send a petition to the faculty. The petition asked that the cut rule be repealed and ; that a perio'd of probation be given dur ii.g which the undergraduates might show i that they could regulate cutting them- I selves. Tne petition was considered in i a faculty meeting and the cut rule was | then altered to the present rule, whereby j cuts exceeding eight are penalized by a re action of grade. When the cut rule was announced the undergraduates saw that the faculty still had not acknowl- '1'iuf/ on VaQt St Open for the Second Semester Dr. Fenwick offers in the second Mm* ester of 1914-10 an elective course in Pri- vate Law, maetiBg on Monday and Friday at 10 o'clock.

What's Your Emotional Eating Quotient?
Why your EEQ makes you overeat and how to stop it so you can lose weight
By Denise Foley
Special Offers
Did you buy six boxes of Girl Scout cookies this year because you couldn't say no to the world's cutest 7-year-old in a Brownie uniform? Did you take that extra helping of your sister-in-law's whole wheat carob cake because you didn't want to hurt her feelings? When your BFF is waffling over ordering dessert, do you agree to share it with her even though you don't want it and then match her bite for bite?
If you could answer yes to any of these questions, you may suffer from sociotropy the scientific term for having the need to please others. While that might make you the right candidate to broker peace in the Mideast, excessive niceness is a recipe for excessive girth. And it's only one of the character traits that can lead to unhappy mornings on the scale.
We all know the major triggers of emotional eating: anger, loneliness, rejection, guilt. Most of us, at one time or another, have taken out our fury on a bag of crunchy corn chips or tried to beat the blues with a pint of cookie-dough ice cream. But new research shows that certain personality types are also prone to making a frosted donut a chosen alternative to therapy. Besides the sociotrope, there's the thrill seeker and the worka-choco-holic and each type needs different strategies for coping without the extra calories.
The People Pleaser: You Eat for One, But It's Not You
In a recent experiment at Case Western Reserve University, researchers screened volunteers for their "gotta be nice" qualities, then invited them to a meeting with a staff member (actually an actor) who casually passed around a bowl of M&M's. When the bowl came their way, students who'd scored higher on the sociotropy scale dug in, taking more than the students who were less concerned with others' comfort or with matching how many the actor ate. "They didn't want him to feel bad by eating fewer," explains study head Julie Exline, Ph.D.
We often eat more when we're around those who are eating a lot that's one reason studies show that people whose friends are overweight are more likely to be heavy themselves. "Then, if you have a people-pleasing thing going on top of that, you'll feel even more pressured to follow others," says Exline.
After overeating comes depression, and not just because you can't zip your jeans. "When your motivation is to please other people, you're letting them tell you what's important to you," says Exline. "I describe it as 'silencing your own voice.' " The goal, then, to avoid piling on those unpleasing pounds, is to find that voice.
1. First, Consider What You Want
If you're not truly hungry, "Lay on praise, then state your boundary," suggests Karen R. Koenig, a psychotherapist and author of Nice Girls Finish Fat. You might say, "Those pastries look delicious, but I'm so stuffed from lunch that I'm going to take a pass." You can smile at that cute Brownie, give her the money for two boxes of cookies, then ask her to donate them to troops overseas. (Yes, they can do that see hugsforsoldiers.org).
2. De-nice Yourself...A Little
Of course, you're going to be fighting an enemy that has outposts in your head, as writer Sally Kempton famously said. Even if you were the biggest tomboy on the block, you probably grew up believing that caretaking was in your future, if not somewhere in your genes. "But changing isn't as hard as you may think," says Koenig. "It's really about learning a new life skill."
Practice saying a (polite) no to the salesperson on the phone (start with the robocaller if you're a tough case), then work your way up to strangers offering samples in a store and coworkers tempting you with holiday goodies. After that, you'll be ready to take on your cousin when she pushes a second helping of pie at you.

Have an emergency plan for your family and your pet
Thursday, February 28, 2013
In an emergency, we always try and prepare for our family's safety. One would most likely think of gathering supplies such as food, medicine (medical records), first aid kits, etc. In the same way, you should also consider taking precautions to make sure that your pet is safe as well. A pet's safety should be considered as part of the family's safety, for they are also just as important, and they rely on you to keep them safe.
Try to make sure that you have a plan for yourself as well as your pet during any given emergency. First, you should always try and look at the situation before jumping to conclusions. Ask yourself if you and your pet are actually in any kind of immediate danger. As in any emergency, local authorities cannot always reach you immediately. Try to get information on your situation through the news on TV, the Internet, or the radio. If during an emergency you get any kind of instructions on evacuating, seeking medical attention, or seeking shelter, try to follow instructions promptly for you and your pet's safety.
We may not always be home during an emergency, so it is a good idea to have a reliable neighbor, family member, or friend who would be willing to evacuate or care for your pets for you in case you cannot get to them in time. You can talk to this person about where your safety supplies are for your pet and what your plans are for your pet during an emergency. |

5 Eccellente, splendido! What a game!MrPrister | 20/11/2009 | See all MrPrister's reviews (5)First of all this is an amazing game. Instead of a load of boring prose i'll just give you the facts.Pros:- Exceptional free running and climbing aspect- Better than the first in most areas- Superb combat controls- You can now attack people when you've grabbed them- The ability to pick people up and lob 'em off buildings or into the rivers.- YOU CAN SWIM!- Gameplay (not cut-scene) graphics are great- Counter/finishing moves- StorylineCons:- Terrible cut-scene graphics- Time it takes to get your first weapon- Poor time of the year to release (will no doubt be overshadowed by MW2)All in all this game is good but the review is only based on the first few hours of gameplay. So far, well worth the money and its looking like a must have for any gaming collection.
4 Undeniably Bigger and Better - but Still...MrPanCake | 01/12/2009 | See all MrPanCake's reviews (7)I never finished the first Assassin's Creed since the story wasn't compelling enough to keep me ploughing through the repetitive gameplay. So I must ask myself, why did I pre-order the sequel without even checking any reviews?The thing with AC1 was that it showed promise with its amazing open world and fun free running. I enjoyed the atmosphere so much that even if AC2 would not have any better story or game content, it would have to be incredible to experience 15th century Italy AC-style.After completing AC2 (yes, I actually finished this one) I can say that I was right. The atmosphere was once again fantastic. And as I was pleased to find out, there have been many improvements to almost every aspect of the game - including the storytelling. My biggest relief was that Ezio doesn't engage into as lengthy and pointless and ever so boring tea time discussions with his victims as Altair did. He does still speak to them (unfortunately) but this time it's much more tolerable. Honestly, I could rant all day about how annoying the "You killed me but you don't see the truth" -speeches in AC1 were. Arrggh!AC2 is still far from perfect but definitely an improvement. All in all, a good game.+ Beautiful Italy+ You can swim (and dive in from rooftops, yippee!)+ Puzzles (from subject 16)+ A lot to do...- ...of which only 60-70% is interesting- Damn those Hollywood-cliches for making into these games- You still can't skip the cutscenes :(
5 This is his story - and it is awesome !!!Abhijukto | 17/11/2009 | See all Abhijukto's reviews (2)What a game AC II is !!!! excellent...it has the raw action and thrill of the first game and even more.....an excellent choice for anyone interested in a good adventure game....go for it !!!
5 Fantastic!!!GaryB2008 | 16/03/2010 | See all GaryB2008's reviews (1)Im a Fussy player and get bored of games quite easy but A C 2 Griped Me From The Start with Days Of Game play Weeks If u have the patients to do all the side missions its well worth the price. only 1 downfall but not a major disappointment is the stealth i was expecting more but if they add more stealth to A C 3 then they should have another winner on there hands.
5 One of 2009 best gameTrixster17 | 14/12/2009 | See all Trixster17's reviews (4)This is one of the best games to come out in 2009 much better than the first one. there is so much more you can do more customization and more weapons i would give this game a baftta.

Put a ring on it
Peter Coolbaugh brought his future bride, Renee A. Coshin, to the Hall of Fame on Monday to see the Museum's collection of World Series rings.
Then he gave Renee a ring of her very own.
Peter proposed to Renee on Monday on the Museum's third floor, and received the "yes" he was hoping for. The two Museum Members have known each other for about four years and have bonded through the National Pastime.
"Sports has been a huge part of our relationship," said a tearful Renee, who was shocked when Peter popped the question. "But I had no idea he was going to do this here."
Both Peter and Renee live in Baltimore and attend dozens of Orioles games each year. They are planning their wedding for the fall of 2013.
"I wanted to do this before Opening Day, and I think she was wondering when – not if – I was going to propose," Peter said. "What better place to do it than right here in front of the World Series rings at the Hall of Fame."
Craig Muder is the director of communications at the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.

Congratz, Renee and Peter!
What a great story. Congratulations and best wishes!
Great job Peter. Congrats to you and Renee!
Congrats Renee and Peter!
Peter – you did an excellent job on the ring. It is simply stunning. Renee wears it very well.
Oy. Not sure who to feel more sorry for here… her or him.

This was a nice surprise, haven't got off it since I started playing yet. There is a new twist on the game which you'll find out straight away where you go back in time to save other characters, and there is a lot! I'd say if you weren't sure at least rent i; definitely worth a try, but no regrets about buying it either for sure!

Shazam now saves all of the songs you've looked up as a playlist for easy listening on either Spotify or Rdio.
Rdio may be small, but new Chief Executive Anthony Bay tells CNET he's already planning for when it's big in his first interview since taking over as head of the streaming music service.
Roku is offering its entry-level streaming video products at a discount, with two free months of Rdio Unlimited thrown in for good measure.
The streaming service has converted all of its 30 million-strong catalog to AAC format, offering different quality bitrates up to 320kbps for users to choose from.
Aiming to step out of the shadow of Spotify, Pandora and Apple's iTunes Radio, 4-year-old Rdio beefs up its free radiolike service and designs a warmer welcome for the uninitiated.
Rdio is broadening its global footprint by launching into 9 new countries across Asia and Europe. The music streaming service is now available in 60 countries worldwide.
Music-streaming service Rdio is updating its catalog to 320kbps for higher quality playback.
Ahead of an Amazon event where the e-commerce giant is expected to unveil its own streaming media device, Google's TV dongle gets three more content-streaming apps.
The companies expand their partnership to 29 new nations, including much of Western Europe and South America, so you can immediately switch to Rdio to hear songs you tag in Shazam.
Need help getting started on all-you-can-stream services like Spotify and Beats Music? This primer fills you in on the good and the bad of subscription music services, and how to choose between all the options out there.

Temperatures in the single figures … not one, but numerous reports of arctic vortex climate in 2013 … the weather condition in Chicago can be severe. Sustained icy climate could be the standard for people living much to our north, but not for those of us here! Not only does extreme climate wear on us literally, it wears out our pocketbooks, also. When temperatures dip down into the adolescents and below, our home furnace are forced to work harder. So just what's the best way to keep your household warm and comfortable and also not blow your budget on energy expenses? I have a couple of handy suggestions …
The # 1 method to keep the chilly temperatures out, and also the warmth in is insulation. And when it involves shielding your residence, there are numerous locations to pay very close attention. I'll begin with the best down.
Attic Insulation– The biggest location of heat loss in most houses is with the roof. Heat rises, so normally the first place it will attempt to get away will be your attic and the roof. Purchasing excellent quality, high R-value insulation won't cost a fortune and also it will offer a sizable power cost savings. I advise checking out Budget Construction – Chicago roofing for more information about installing, replacing, or repairing a roof.
Siding Insulation/ Wall Insulation– When houses are built, contractors protect the room and indoor walls from the outside with either blown-in or rolled insulation. This significantly reduces air's capability to come in from outside, and it help keep plumbing from getting cold. Pretty standard stuff. Yet did you know about shielded siding? Unlike standard vinyl home siding which is made from a single layer of formed vinyl, insulated exterior siding is backed with a foam-like element. This added layer works like a covering, obstructing cold air from making its way behind siding. One more included advantage of insulated home siding in noise decrease. Shielded siding acts a little bit like the foam wall surfaces you view in recording centers, aiding to block outside sound. Find out more about different types of siding Chicago.
Change Drafty Windows
Power Efficient Windows– If you have old or cost-effective windows, you have probably at one time or an additional been shocked to stand near a window and really feel a 'breeze'… when the window is shut! Inadequately installed windows, windows with single pane glass, and home windows that have wood or non-insulated frameworks are at risk to power loss. In winter, not only does cold air get in to your home through reduced effectiveness windows, your priceless warmth is able to escape! Today, technologies in power performance have blazed a trail for replacement window Chicago that help keep your house cozy in winter season and also cool in summer. I recommend double-paned windows with insulated structures for maximum performance. Equally as vital as the window itself is its installation. Be sure to have substitute windows mounted by a professional.
Think about an Alternating Heat Source
Fireplaces — One more method to combat high power expenses is through the installment of an alternating source of heat– namely a gas, wood or pellet fire place or oven. Fire places and stoves can quickly as well as successfully warm rooms such as living rooms and even huge bed rooms, allowing you to keep your thermostat at a reasonably reduced price. (Not also reduced, though– you want to make sure that those water pipes don't freeze!) Fire places and also ranges are available in a wide variety of styles from ultra contemporary to down-on-the-farm conventional.
So while I cannot resolve the problems caused by arctic weather, I hope these ideas on how you can enhance your home's effectiveness will be able to help you out. As always, if you have any concerns relating to external house renovations, please contact me.
Stay warm Chicago!

L'Arc Wine Bottle Holder, Set of 2
Surprisingly Cute and Unique!
When I first saw this at the store I had no idea how to use it or set it up. My husband was the one that finally figured it out and then when we went to World Market they finally had one up with a wine bottle in it as a display to confirm how we thought we should use it. While the decal feels cheap, from far away it looks like an expensive and classy. We purchased two and put them on display on a high shelf above the fridge and they look exquisite.

Scattered Shots: Pet talent trees in the Wrath Beta
Welcome to another edition of Scattered Shots, the other WoW Insider weekly Hunter column. Daniel Whitcomb is your guest host again this week.
So, we theorized about talented pets a bit quite a few installments of Scattered Shots ago, but now we have the actual trees live and testable on the Wrath Beta, and they seem to be firming up nicely. There's a few promised changes yet to come, such as the removal or lowering of focus costs on many major abilities and talents, and it's still very possible that Blizzard may make changes here and there before live, but I think they're solid enough at this point that we can look at each tree and make some solid predictions about how people will use them and how various talent builds might look.

I was told I would not be charged until I got to hotel.i was gonna pay cash. Bookin.com charged my card. ?
Location, price, cleanliness, friendly service and staff
The lady next door that was banging on our wall trying to get my girlfriend and I to keep it down.
The room was spacious and beds comfortable. The bathroom was huge and well appointed. Breakfast buffet was excellent with plenty for everyone.
Cleanliness needs improving. We were in The Loft and the floor carpet had not been cleaned all day. There were plates and glasses left outside the guest rooms for hours waiting to be collected.
I liked how accommodating the staff is. Front desk is very nice and helpful. The location is PERFECT and rooms are nice.
I did not like the fact that room could have been a little bit cleaner when we arrived.
Mostly the location and the bed.
Wall paper dirty, dated, and peeling in places. The parking fee was way to high and we where really disappointed that a nice hotel like a Hilton wouldn't have a Jacuzzi.
Friendly laid back staff & the view
I wish the rooms had a microwave and a refrigerator.
Staff memebers are very friendly, rooms are clean and prices was good
Like the size and comfort of the room.
Overnight parking was $45 There was a charge of $12 a day for Wifi
staff was very helpful location was perfect for drinking without driving very clean
the price of the room didn't match the size (too small) The a/c wasn't working too well Make sure to ask for the FOAM pillows there wasn't a fridge in the room no robes parking fee was very high
Parking cost horrible...may not return because of that
Love the room and comfortablity
Didn't like the food and had trouble adding my friend to my reservation.
Tried To Rip Me Off Stay Was $438.00 Parking $82.00 Charge Me $523.00 On CC Card and tried Chargeing another $90 Fighting them ..
The convenience of being right in the heart of downtown and close to the Gas lamp quarters! Just walking distance, it was great! First time visit and enjoyed the outside view from our room to the civic center and palm trees!
The non availability of convenient parking. We had to park outside on the street ...parking lots are over priced!! The vending machine was all out of water and Power drinks, on the 5th floor.
Location is excellent and staff very courteous and ready to answer any question that one has. The room is comfortable enough as well.
The charges per night for the room are exuberant for a room which does not even have a small fridge and for wi fi one has to come down all the way in the lobby, sometimes in your pajamas and slippers. While it is standard in North America that breakfast is not part of the package but the rates and taxes are very high. Also keep in mind that the hotel is next to a rail track which is moderately busy.
staff was really helpful.. we were celebrating my 29th bday .. they sent drinks and a card .very thoughful. place was clean location was in the middle of everything. place itself is very nice.
not much actually.
Jordan at the front desk was awesome! Upgraded our room to the terrace lofts after learning I was proposing to my girlfriend during our stay. Also Great location in the heart of gaslamp!
King bed might need a replacement as it seemed a little aged. But overall great room.
Staff was super friendly and helpful. Valet staff was amazing, helped us out with getting to know the area. Recommended great places near the hotel to enjoy. Amazing overall.
Just about everything except the parking fees.
Elevator didn't work going UP to the loft (3)
It's well located
There was no cheaper parking options for guests. Hilton Bayfront which is across the street gives guests $15/day parking but Hilton Gaslamp charges $40/day I requested for a ref and I was being charged $20. You'd think that paying $500 for 3nights would merit you a refrigerator. I guess not with Hilton
5 mins from SD Convention Centre, in the middle of the historic Gaslamp Quarter and large rooms.
Housekeeping did not remove used plates right away. The front desk charged our card even though we paid for the room in cash. Charges were reversed of course but it was a huge mistake and a huge hassle to sort out.

For the first time in 4 years I DID NOT WORK BLACK FRIDAY. My first day ever in retail back when I was a junior in high school was Black Friday, so of course I had gotten used to the dreaded day. However, not having to work retail today was the best feeling ever.
I was able to experience a lot for the first time not working Black Friday. There was no waking up at 3 AM to make it to work at 4 AM. I didn't have to fold any clothes or ring up people at the cash register for my entire shift. I didn't have to deal with crazed customers trying to get clothes that are already cheap to begin with. Did I mention I worked at Forever 21? How clothes can get any cheaper there I really have no idea. On top of that the girls I know working there now had to do a double shift today.
Instead of dealing with crowds of crazy people going out at all hours of the night I slept in. Ate leftovers. Caught up with Scandal (Yes, I finished 3 seasons in 4 days it's embarrassing) Watched a great game of the dawgs, which didn't end up the way I wanted it, but nonetheless was still a great game. Now I am just writing this blog to explain how after 4 years of Black Fridays, I might miss the craziness a little bit… Who am I kidding? No Black Friday today was amazing! But to all those in retail I understand your pain and for that reason I stayed in today! Here's a video to get you excited for the season!

orangetom1999 wrote:I'm speaking here of Separation here Greeny2...Separation of Church and State. Key word here being Separate.
I will remind you Greeny2..that before 1913...and even Before WW2...people did not pay taxes on their source...from which income was derived. So too with the Churches. There was true separation.
In particular since WW2..this has changed significantly to where people are now taxed on their source...not the income "Derived" from the source.
It reads "From Whatever Source Derived" Not "on" what ever source.
You either have separation or you do not. Churches having a tax number means they are a creature of the state...a state created entity....vereses a God created entity.
This is exactly how the government is going after Christians and claiming they can make people do things which are against their faith...because they have the corporation brand number. A tax number.
A SSN is a corporation tax number.
No one teaches this in Public Schools..it is never intended that people know or think this far.
You either have separation or you do not" But have enough sense to speak about it truthfully and plainly to the people so that they know the real nature of what is going on out here.
You are right of course, taxing from the source of income, is really a form of "confiscation" is it not, Orange tom, that is why lots of folks lose their homes because they do not have the money to pay the taxes even though they have the money to purchase the fuel to heat the house perhaps, so but let us go back to the origins of government to see where this "supposed fornication with BABYLON" the intertwining between church and state how it all developed shall we:
As you all know I am a "history buff" and I like to study human history like an "ANTHROPOLOGIST" might like to study the "societal structure of Bonobos" for instance an article I just read in a magazine!
Clearly you are not "apes" for Bonobos could teach you a few things about "conflict resolutions" without resorting to extreme forms of violence known as "WARS"!
So, why is the history of Mankind so violent DID GOD CREATE MAN TO BE A VIOLENT PREDATOR that even vandalizes his own species?
No, since the days of MR DARWIN, the theory goes, it was all a "cosmic accident" that he behaved in such "violent ways"!
By accident "hordes of evil aliens" arrived on this planet, who were all kicked out from a "more advanced civilization" where peace was established and promoted by a "CREATURE KNOWN AS GOD" here on this planet!
Of course when I say Creature, I could refer to the SON of God, the ONLY BEGOTTEN, who is indeed the "first born" of every creature known as "MAN", not because he was born first in the flesh but born first in the SPIRIT!
So, WHAT DOES THE MOST DOMINANT SPECIES ON EARTH do to "other animals" I might ask first?
1. We EAT THEM! OK, let me be specific, we eat, and I enumerate here:
PLANTS, ROOTS, HERBS, FRUITS FROM TREES and finally last but not least we eat Bacteria in the form of Yogurt, we eat
larger animals like rabbits, pigs, cows and a large variety of different kinds of meats from all kinds of animals! We devour almost everything, that is why science calls human beings "omnivores"!
2. What do we do with MAN? WE KILL HIM FOR SPORT, in the case of "boxing championships" were some people indeed DIE, or in the case of race competitions were again some people "crash and burn", and we then call that "PROGRESS"! And in the most extreme of all competitions meaning "who controls the natural resources of the planet" we kill people for "power and dominion and for money"!
What about the KINGS among humans! I dare not tell, not because I am "sworn to secrecy" but because I am "under obligation" to honor the "exclusive right" of the INTERNATIONAL JEW, to tell that entire story, therefore I am "obligated to remain silent" and must "remain silent" about "most of the sins of the kings of planet earth" because and this is why:
THEY ARE SO EVIL, that just mentioning them might cause you to "throw up", therefore there are "clear contraindications" as to pertaining your health, therefore a "health advice" might be added to that book stating:
THIS BOOK BECAUSE OF ITS TRUTHFULNESS may cause any number of "health symptoms" such as
TEARY EYES, sudden acceleration of the heart beat, known as palpitations, also it might cause "extreme cases of paranoia" specially among kings that might find themselves surrounded by "Millions of people" who are "not supposed to know about their evil secrets", and it might also "cause a lashing out" among politicians that no longer "have a cloak" for their "overtaxing of the tax earning public"!
