When I added a contact form to the page where my email address is, the number of inquiries increased. People seem to prefer the contact form. And as don1ddg said, the form is very useful if you want the user to provide certain information in a particular way.
When I'm on the other side of it, I somewhat prefer to be able to use an email address because I can format the email the way I want and don't have to work in a little textbox. But if they want specific information, I appreciate the usefulness of a form that shows exactly what they want.

Springtime flowers in Nancy's garden in Oregon
comments (28) March 8th, 2013 in blogsWe're still shivering over here on the east coast, and the midwest just got hammered by snow, But it's full-on spring in Oregon! I think Nancy Sarpola in Corvallis wants to help us survive the last few weeks of winter, so she sent us these beautiful photos. She says, "If everyone is ready for spring, I have some photos taken in the last month here in Oregon where our winter has been fairly mild and things are beginning to bloom. Hooray for Spring!" A sight for sore eyes, Nancy. Thank you so much! **We featured summer in Nancy's garden back in December. Refresh your memory HERE.**

MANCHESTER, Tenn. (AP) _ At least one southern Middle Tennessee city wants to learn more before passing a local ordinance on cold medicine.
Over the counter remedies containing ephedrine and pseudo-ephedrine are used in the illegal manufacture of methamphetamine.
While several cities in Tennessee have passed local restrictions on purchases, the Chattanooga Times Free Press reported Manchester officials are awaiting an opinion from the state attorney general's office.
Officials say advice from the University of Tennessee's Municipal Technical Advisory Service gave them pause to wait.
Mike Taylor, district attorney in the 12th Judicial District, said statewide restriction would be a better solution.
Current stature requires buyers of the cold and allergy medicines to show a photo ID and sign a logbook that is submitted to the state.

SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Spencer Butterfield had 22 points and 10 rebounds, both game highs, for his fifth straight double-double and Utah State routed San Jose State 63-36 Friday night.
Butterfield was 9 for 11 from the field for the Aggies (17-5, 8-4 WAC), who have beaten the Spartans 12 straight times since 2008.
Jarred Shaw and Marcel Davis scored 12 points apiece for Utah State, which has won three in a row, all on the road.
D.J. Brown led San Jose State with 16 points. Chris Cunningham had 10 points and nine rebounds but San Jose State still had its season low in points.
The Spartans (9-14, 3-9) have lost eight in a row since beating independent New Orleans on Jan. 8. That was the last game James Kinney, SJSU's leading scorer, played in before being suspended for violating team policies. Kinney was averaging 20 points per game.
"We're just not shooting well. There's effort. We're just going to keep working. We're not going to stop," said Brown, who scored in double-figures for the third game in a row.
Utah State's defense posted a season-low for points allowed for the second game in a row after allowing 46 points last Saturday at Seattle and then 36 points at San Jose State Friday night.
* UTES TAKE ON NO. 19 DUCKS: At Eugene, Ore., the worst meets the first in Pac-12 action tonight.
Utah lost by 18 last Wednesday to Oregon State. Oregon, among the league leaders, has dropped three games in a row.

Sneakers made from Old Cigarette Cartons
Sneaker creation these days would require masterful expertise and of course high end materials. But that doesn't mean that creative individuals such as Jason Ruff would not be able to come up with sneaker designs of their own. Ecofriendly-inspired at that!
On his part, Jason is able to produce high-end speakers using old cigarette cartons, producing impressive looking footwear that any modern day folk will surely find handy and interesting.
The sneakers not only offer a new ecofriendly recycling idea, but a whole new ecofriendly fashion add-on which many individuals are surely looking out to date. Truly impressive and interesting to try on don't you think?

"THE NOBLE TOWN OF SINTRA" Sintra by LoriPori
Sintra Travel Guide: 537 reviews and 2,149 photos
Saturday, May 30. 2009
Truly a magical place SINTRA is surrounded by lush green forests and blessed with turreted palaces and old castles.
Due to its excellent location very close to Lisbon, the Palace of Sintra was a favoured place of residence among Portuguese Monarchs since the Middle Ages.
VT organizers arranged a great outing to Sintra, which also included a later stop to Cabo da Roca for a fabulous group pic. We had two busloads of eager VTers waiting at the pick-up spot at Hotel Cidadela.
Sintra, located 25 km north of Lisbon, is one of the most delightful towns to be found in Portugal as it is Picturesquely situated in the Hills of Sierra de Sintra.
There are three National Palaces here - The Royal Palace or Palace National de Sintra - Pena and Queluz. There is also the Palacio de Montserrate and Convento dos Capuches. Sintra also has its very own Moorish Castle - Castelo do Mouros.
The town of Sintra is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Hans & I had a very relaxed day, with mostly visiting the Royal Palace, walking around town, roaming the narrow little hilly & cobblestoned side streets, having an ice cream (forgot to taste a queijadas which are little cheese tarts of which Sintra is famous) and taking the little tourist train.
Everyone else did their own thing, with some going to Pena, some walking up to the old Moorish Castle and one group in particular just sitting and socializing at the sidewalk terrace of the Bristol.
All in all - a great day!

I really enjoyed your photos and tips, particularly the national palace. Im not usually crazy about a lot of palaces because their decor is so over the top baroque. this one seemed more elegant. The tilework looks stunning!
I've visited Sintra various times. I think I will revisit it soon.
Ciao! -
Sintra looks lovely and it sounds like you had a very pleasant visit! I will defenitely make a daytrip there from Lisboa when I go to Portugal next year.
Lori, we missed the Palacio Nacional and the train...sigh...but still, Sintra was truly magical and very lush as you said...Norman :)
Oh sweet mwemories :-)) I should have visited the Royal Palace also, it is very much impressive in there, given your photos :-))
The ceramic tiles are gorgious! Swan hall and magpiie room are superb!
We visited Sintra twice in the nineties and found it a charming, a bit out of time, place. Vegetation and flowers were quite special due to the microclimate of this area. Terraces were great, indeed.
Can just picture you and Hansi on the little tourist train waving to other VT's! National Palace is really something, but my favorite from your descriptions was Blazons Hall. Great work, Lori.
This medieval Royal Palace was worth seeing without any doubt. Lucky you were! A very pleasant VT-tour! Thanks Lori for showing it to those who missed that great VT-meeting in Portugal!
Ha ha, you probably wouldn't have found me on the terrace! Thanks for the lovely revisit to Sintra :-)

TO HORATIO GATES SPAFFORDj. mss. Monticello Jan. 10. 16 Dear Sir, —Of the last 5 months 4 have been passed at my distant possession, to which no letters are carried to me, because the crosspost is too circuitous and unsafe to be trusted. On my return I find an immense accummulation of them calling for answers, & among these your favor of the 25th ult. In this you request me to examine the MS. tract it covered, to suggest amendments or alterations, give my remarks & opinion of the propriety of the sentiments, point out improvements, and say whether it should be published now. From this undertaking, my good sir, I must pray you to excuse me. In the first place I really have not the time to spare. My other occupations are incessant and indispensable. Within doors and without, there is something ever pressing, insomuch that I have not a moment to read the papers of the day, and if to read anything else it must be in hours stolen from those of sleep. In the next place I have made it a point not to meddle with the writings of others. It is unpleasant to one's self, and generally injurious to the composition reviewed. The train in which a man commits his own thoughts to paper has in it generally a certain method and order. If this be altered, interrupted, chequered by the ideas of another, the composition becomes a medley of different views on the same subject, incoherent & deformed. So few are my spare moments that I have not been able even to read it through: because the MS. is in a handwriting extremely difficult to me; and I shall read it with more pleasure, and more understanding in print. I concur with you in it's design; and as far as I have penetrated, I find the matter good and am sure it will be useful. I hope therefore to see it in your next magazine to be followed by many others having the same object. [You judge truly that I am not afraid of the priests. They have tried upon me all their various batteries, of pious whining, hypocritical canting, lying & slandering, without being able to give me one moment of pain. I have contemplated their order from the Magi of the East to the Saints of the West, and I have found no difference of character, but of more or less caution, in proportion to their information or ignorance of those on whom their interested duperies were to be plaid off. Their sway in New England is indeed formidable. No mind beyond mediocrity dares there to develope itself. If it does, they excite against it the public opinion which they command, & by little, but incessant and teasing persecutions, drive it from among them. Their present emigrations to the Western country are real flights from persecution, religious & political, but the abandonment of the country by those who wish to enjoy freedom of opinion leaves the despotism over the residue more intense, more oppressive. They are now looking to the flesh pots of the South and aiming at foothold there by their missionary teachers. They have lately come forward boldly with their plan to establish "a qualified religious instructor over every thousand souls in the US." And they seem to consider none as qualified but their own sect. Thus, in Virginia, they say there are but 60, qualified, and that 914 are still wanting of the full quota. All besides the 60, are "mere nominal ministers unacquainted with theology." Now the 60. they allude to are exactly in the string of counties at the Western foot of the Blue ridge, settled originally by Irish presbyterians, and composing precisely the tory district of the state. There indeed is found in full vigor the hypocrisy, the despotism, and anti-civism of the New England qualified religious instructors. The country below the mountains, inhabited by Episcopalians, Methodists & Baptists (under mere nominal ministers unacquainted with theology) are pronounced "destitute of the means of grace, and as sitting in darkness and under the shadow of death." They are quite in despair too at the insufficient means of New England to fill this fearful void, "with Evangelical light, with catechetical instructions, weekly lectures, & family visiting." That Yale cannot furnish above 80. graduates annually, and Harvard perhaps not more. That there must therefore be an immediate, universal, vigorous & systematic effort made to evangelize the nation. To see that there is a bible for every family, a school for every district, and a qualified (i. e. Presbyterian) "pastor for every thousand souls; that newspapers, tracts, magazines must be employed; the press be made to groan, & every pulpit in the land to sound it's trumpet long and loud. A more homogeneous" (I.E. New England) "character must be produced thro' the nation." That section then of our union having lost it's political influence by disloyalty to it's country is now to recover it under the mask of religion. It is to send among us their Gardiners, their Osgoods, their Parishes & Pearsons, as apostles to teach us their orthodoxy. This is the outline of the plan as published by Messrs. Beecher, Pearson & Co. It has uttered however one truth. "That the nation must be awaked to save itself by it's own exertions, or we are undone." And I trust that this publication will do not a little to awaken it; and that in aid of it newspapers, tracts and magazines must sound the trumpet. Yours I hope will make itself heard, and the louder as yours is the nearest house in the course of conflagration.]1 I have not sent your tract to the President as you requested, fearing that if any further delay be added to that already incurred, it will be too late for your purpose of inserting it in the January magazine. From contest of every kind I withdraw myself entirely. I have served my hour, and a long one it has been. Tranquility is the object of my remaining years, and I leave to more vigorous bodies & minds the service which has rightfully, & in succession devolved on them. Accept the assurances of my great respect and esteem. [1 ]Jefferson omitted the paragraph which he bracketed as above, but he sent a transcript of it to Thomas Ritchie, editor of the Richmond Enquirer, with the following letter: Monticello, January 21, 1816
Dear Sir,—In answering the letter of a northern correspondent lately, I indulged in a tirade against a pamphlet recently published in this quarter. On revising my letter, however, I thought it unsafe to commit myself so far to a stranger. I struck out the passage therefore, yet I think the pamphlet of such a character as not to be unknown, or unnoticed by the people of the United States. It is the most bold and impudent stride New England has ever made in arrogating an ascendency over the rest of the Union. The first form of the pamphlet was an address from the Reverend Lyman Beecher, chairman of the Connecticut Society for the education of pious young men for the ministry. Its matter was then adopted and published in a sermon by Reverend Mr. Pearson of Andover in Massachusetts, where they have a theological college; and where the address 'with circumstantial variations to adapt it to more general use' is reprinted on a sheet and a half of paper, in so cheap a form as to be distributed, I imagine, gratis, for it has a final note indicating six thousand copies of the first edition printed. So far as it respects Virginia, the extract of my letter gives the outline. I therefore send it to you to publish or burn, abridge or alter, as you think best. You understand the public palate better than I do. Only give it such a title as may lead to no suspicion from whom you receive it. I am the more induced to offer it to you because it is possible mine may be the only copy in the State, and because, too, it may be à propos for the petition for the establishment of a theological society now before the legislature, and to which they have shown the unusual respect of hearing an advocate for it at their bar. From what quarter this theological society comes forward I know not; perhaps from our own tramontaine clergy, of New England religion and politics; perhaps it is the entering wedge from its theological sister in Andover, for the body of 'qualified religious instructors' proposed by their pious brethren of the East 'to evangelize and catechize,' to edify our daughters by weekly lectures, and our wives by 'family visits' from these pious young monks from Harvard and Yale. However, do with this what you please, and be assured of my friendship and respect. |

February 23, 2014
I've said for years even when I was with WWE that I want TNA to do well, I never saw TNA as the enemy � that would be ridiculous, I love professional wrestling. Part of the reason why I chose to go to TNA was because it's not good for the fans or for the industry when there is just one conglomerate and nowhere else to go. The most prosperous and entertaining time in our business was during the Monday Night Wars � you had two companies that were fairly evenly matched, both with top tier stars, and they were battling with each other for ratings. That meant everything had to be fresh, everything had to be edgy and everyone really had to rack their brain to come up with exciting storylines, all of the guys had to work really hard and there were 12 million people a week tuning into wrestling. Now there is less than half that, if you're in the wrestling industry now in the States there are only two places to go centrally, WWE or TNA. I would like to try and help facilitate, creating a situation where the WWE has to recognize TNA as a potential competitor and if you know like I do, WWE holds all the marbles then for the artists, the talent it's not good for our business, competition is good for business." - MVP discusses competition within the business

"You know, well I'd like to think so. I like the guy. I think he's has around a million with life experiences cause his path to get into the business is certainly�unique. To say the least. I always thought he was a real sharp guy. He had a great head for the business. So if he's given the opportunity to take over a leadership role or if he has the mindset to become a leader in that locker room; then he should be able to help him. He's a good man. I'm glad that he's back in the loop and I think that he has a lot to offer. He's just a really cool guy. And I'm happy for him." - Jim Ross discusses MVP

Entertainment Tonight
Actress Zhang Ziyi is fighting back against reports she was paid millions in exchange for sexual favors with a multitude of Chinese government officials.
RELATED: China Bans Lady Gaga Hits as 'Security' Threat
The Hong Kong news outlet Apple Daily is at the center of the story, claiming that Ziyi was unable to promote her upcoming film, a remake of "Dangerous Liaisons," in Cannes because she had been barred from leaving the country while under investigation for a sex scandal linked with China's former Minister of Commerce, Bo Xilai.
The paper alleges that a wealthy associate of the former Chinese official has confessed to paying Zhang nearly a million dollars in 2007 to have sex with her. She is also accused of sleeping with a myriad of other government officials and businessmen for large amounts of cash between 2004 and 2007.
PICS: Fierce Fashions: The Cannes Film Festival
The actress' rep was quick to release a statement flatly denying the reports as slanderous. Her team is promising swift legal action against the publication for their "lies" and demanding a complete retraction of their story.
"Zhang Ziyi has been busy working day and night on the set of 'The Grandmasters,'" they explain of her absence from the film festival. "We will seek justice for Zhang Ziyi by taking legal action against Apple Daily and against any other media publishing these false reports."
VIDEO: Letterman on Family Life Post-Scandal
Additionally, Ziyi's lawyers have sent a letter to the newspaper with the following statement: "Your allegations concerning our client are completely untrue and constitute a grave libel upon her. In consequence of the publication of these statements, our client's reputation has been seriously damaged and she has suffered considerable distress and embarrassment."
Zhang Ziyi is best known to American audiences for her starring roles in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon," "House of Flying Daggers," "Memoirs of a Geisha" and "Rush Hour 2," opposite Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker.

The Ultimate Dodgeball Championship (UDC) is an annual competition held atop the patented, all-trampoline, walled playing courts of Sky Zone. Participants dodge, duck, dip, dive – and FLY – down a path of Local Qualifiers and a Championship Tournament as the very best in Ultimate Dodgeball is crowned.
But even more than crowning a champion, the UDC is a celebration that invites all skill levels to experience the thrill. Local Qualifier tournaments are open to all, ages 16+. Win or lose, the goal is to provide each and every participant nothing less than a SOARING good time!
The 2014 UDC has not yet been officially announced. Be sure to connect with us on Facebook to stay abreast of the latest updates and announcements.
The Sky Zone Indoor Trampoline Park playing courts are protected by United States Patent No. 5,624,122. The Ultimate Dodgeball Championship Local & Championship Tournaments are subject to local law and void where prohibited.
The inaugural Ultimate Dodgeball Championship (UDC) was held in 2012. 21 Local Qualifiers took place across the U.S. and Canada. 113 teams competed nationally, and 21 Local Qualifier winners made their way to Sky Zone Torrance (Los Angeles area) to compete for $100,000 in prize money. The championship bracket consisting of the 'Final 8' teams was filmed and later broadcast in a one-hour TV special on the FOX SPORTS NETWORK. DOOM, the team representing Sky Zone Riverside (California) claimed first place, and $25,000, following a thrilling victory over the Canuckateers, representing Sky Zone Mississauga (Toronto area).
In 2013, the UDC took a huge jump, expanding to 30 Local Qualifiers and nearly 450 teams. The 'Final 8' were invited to the Championship Tournament to play for $50,000 in prize money, this time held at Sky Zone Las Vegas. Again, the finals were filmed, but the format was expanded to a series of four, 30-minute shows airing in November/December of 2014. The winner? A finals rematch of 2012 once again saw DOOM, this time representing Sky Zone Covina (California), claiming the throne with a win over the Canuckateers from Sky Zone Toronto.
2013 also saw the first ever Ultimate Dodgeball PEPSI Charity Challenge, where a team of Randy Couture's Xtreme Couture team of MMA fighters take on the UDC winners (Sky Zone Covina) for a total of $15,000 in charity donations. In a thrilling display of athleticism, Sky Zone Covina claimed $10,000 for their charity and $5,000 was presented to the Xtreme Couture G.I. Foundation.
Information on the 2014 UDC (Ultimate Dodgeball Championship), and how to register, is coming soon! Stay connected at www.facebook.com/ultimatedodgeball for details as soon as they are released.
Please note:
The Ultimate Dodgeball Championship (UDC) is an enormous event, with Local Qualifiers held across the U.S. and Canada, and a Championship Tournament in Las Vegas for the 'Final 8' teams. Since the inaugural UDC in 2012, Sky Zone has grown tremendously, and the format of the UDC has grown/evolved with it.
We anticipate an announcement of the 2014 UDC in January of 2014. Please be sure to connect with us on Facebook to stay abreast of the latest updates and announcements.
Please note: All participants in the Ultimate Dodgeball Championship must sign the official 'Sky Zone Publicity and Release Agreement', as well as the Sky Zone waiver form from the park that hosts the applicable Local Qualifier (available on each Sky Zone park's website; those under 18 MUST have each release/waiver signed appropriately by their parent or legal guardian; no exceptions).
The Ultimate Dodgeball Championship (UDC) invites anyone ages 16+, regardless of skill, to participate. Although one winner will eventually be crowned, UDC Local Qualifiers are designed to be nothing short of AWESOME HEALTH FUN for any participant.
UDC Local Qualifiers take place at Sky Zone Indoor Trampoline Parks throughout the U.S. and Canada. The 2014 format and schedule is currently in development, and an announcement is expected sometime in January of 2014. Please be sure to connect with us on Facebook to stay abreast of the latest updates and announcements.
But you don't have to wait until January to experience the thrill of Ultimate Dodgeball. Pick-up games, local tournaments and leagues are mainstays throughout the year across the entire Sky Zone network.

Hi All,
I'm new to this forum, this is my first post. I'm looking for opinions and insight into the following question:
For two channel stereo, which is "better": full range floorstanding speakers or a combination of stand mounted monitors plus a subwoofer.
Let's say we are in the ~$5K price range. Floorstanders generally have low frequency extension down to ~35 Hz (e.g. PSB Synchrony One, Paradigm Signature S8, etc.). Optimal placement might be difficult in some rooms (especially smaller ones).
A pair of $1-2K monitors plus a really good $2K subwoofer (e.g. JL Audio Fathom) gives more placement flexibility, potentially more optimized placement (montors for imaging, subwoofer for smooth room response), plus the huge advantage of subwoofer equalization (yes, I know you could get this with bi-amping and an external crossover + equalizer, but then the cost goes up), and of course extension down to 20Hz. Even if you decided you really need two subwoofers, you get a nice pair of under $1K monitors (e.g. B&W 685, NHT Classic 3) and two subwoofers and still come in at around $5K. Assuming you sucessfully blend the monitors and the subwoofers (which many people seem to be able to do quite well based on subwoofer reviews I've read), this seems like a"better" solution.
I would not go anywhere near so low on the cost of your small stand mounts due to them being the primary sources of sound that you will be listening to. Spend noticeably more on them than on the sub(s). If you can find a JL Audio Fathom model for $2K, then go for it if it is factory sealed brand new with a full factory warranty. What comes to mind is a nice pair of "mostly" full range floor standers (albeit of a lower end model or series within a given brand) such as something from Focal, Usher, Sonus Faber, Vandersteen, Dynaudio's new Excite line, Dali, Revel, B&W, Emerald Physics, Klipsch, etc. If you can get a brand and model that you like the sound of with a front firing port, that will make it easier to deal with the boominess of the bass for placement. Subs are great and have many attributes like you said and more, but it can be a real ordeal and then some getting it set up properly and settling on how it sounds for every single song at various recording levels, etc. not to mention that you need another AC outlet and power cord, interconnect(s), etc. The -3dB and even the -10dB frequency response ratings of a speaker give a pretty good idea of how they can or might perform in your room with regard to the perceived by your ears bass extension and fullness regardless whether it is a tight or sloppy quality of bass or one note boom box kind. That concern can be easily helped with a good set of spikes if they do not come with the speakers you invest in. As per JL Audio's own words (basically at least) if you go with two subs, you can adequately drive the room modes instead of exciting them into resonance that makes boomy bass at certain frequencies. The same can be done using two floor standers with low enough extension if they are each properly placed when they are driven loudly enough just as the subs would need as well since it is not just the frequency, but the volume level that excites that frequency into action that we don't like. One sub (without digital equalization and a mic, etc.) cannot do that and will actually have a tendency to excite the room mode(s) and cause the boom or one note bass or worsen the sound of the system overall. For at or less than your suggested $5K range, i would definitely try for a pair of "mostly" full range floor standers. It keeps it all so much simpler too. I hope that helps.

What Houzz contributors are saying:
Maggie Stephens Interiors added this to Sourcebook: Coastal Style
Rope detail is a great way to add a coastal or nautical look. These curtain tiebacks would be a simple detail to add to breezy white curtains. Other ways to incorporate rope might be as pillow edging or arranged artfully in a hurricane vase. You could even use heavy rope (look in a boating store) in place of a stair railing.Sources: • Restoration Hardware has rope accessories and other nautical accents. • Other rope accessories at Ballard Designs.

New Tesla Battery delivers 400 Miles per charge
Tesla continues to improve on its energy efficiency ratio as far as its electric cars is concerned and the latest news on that is that the company has patented their latest car battery that can reportedly allow the electric cars to travel by as much as 400 miles per charge.
It is no secret that mileage and battery life have become an issue for EV owners and Tesla may yet extend the battery life with the new patented energy source. The issue hopes to resolve the 100 mile limit that EVs usually have with the new hybrid lithium-ion and metal-air battery pack that Tesla has recently patented.
The hybrid battery will rely on the more expensive, but more durable lithium-ion component for short-term travel, switching only to the metal-air battery for longer trips. The metal-air battery has a shorter lifetime when exposed to regular charging, but is less costly to produce.

5 Heavily-Shorted Earnings Plays
>>5 Dividend Stocks Itching to Pay You More
With that in mind, here's a look at several stocks that could experience big short squeezes when they report earnings this week.
Green Mountain Coffee
My first earnings short-squeeze trade idea is Green Mountain Coffee (GMCR), which is set to release numbers on Tuesday after the market close. This company is engaged in the specialty coffee and coffee maker businesses. Wall Street analysts, on average, expect Green Mountain Coffee to report revenue of $902.23 million on earnings of 48 cents per share.
The current short interest as a percentage of the float for Green Mountain Coffee is extremely high at 39.2%. That means that out of the 127.38 million shares in the tradable float, 49.71 million shares are sold short by the bears. The bears have also been increasing their bets from the last reporting period by 1.8%, or by around 876,000 shares. If the bears are caught pressing their bets to hard into this quarter, then we could easily see a monster short-squeeze develop post-earnings. From a technical perspective, GMCR is currently trending above its 50-day moving average and just below its 200-day moving average, which is neutral trendwise. This stock has been uptrending for the last two months, with shares moving higher from a low of $21.33 to its recent high of $30.40 a share. During that uptrend, shares of GMCR have been making mostly higher lows and higher highs, which is bullish technical price action. That move has now pushed GMCR within range of triggering a near-term breakout trade post-earnings. If you're bullish on GMCR, then I would wait until after its report and look for long-biased trades once this stock manages to break out above some near-term overhead resistance levels at $30.40 to $33.15 a share with high volume. Look for volume on that move that hits near or above its three-month average action of 5,739,480 shares. If that breakout triggers, then GMCR will set up to re-fill some of its massive gap down zone from back in May that started near $50 a share. I would simply avoid GMCR or look for short-biased trades if after earnings it fails to trigger that breakout, and then drops back below some near-term support at $28 a share with heavy volume. If we get that action, then GMCR will set up to re-test or possibly take out its 50-day moving average of $25.09 a share. Any move below its 50-day will set up GMCR to re-test some previous support at $23.28 a share.Select the service that is right for you!

Topic: Teachers
Getting OrganizedI was in Wal-mart today, and school supplies are already out. As I was looking over the variety of daily planners, desktop calendars, personal whiteboards, I was wondering what is the most efficient way of keeping up with tasks, appointments, etc. I don't mean lesson plans--that's another issue. Is going electronic better--keeping everything in your phone, Blackberry, laptop? What method works for you?
17 Answers | add yours
As a teacher my life was pretty simple ... after all, classes/activities don't change all that much. I used my planning book to keep track of things.
As an administrator, life was a little more complicated. You can manage it all with an old-fashioned desk calendar, or use a tool you already have like Outlook. Google calendar is also a good program. I believe that these work on most phones, but it all depends on the phone you have.
I think any system will work if you stick with it --- just pick the one you are most comfortable with.

I'm afraid I still use the old desk calendar that lays flat on the top of my desk. I fill in the date squares, sometimes until there is no more room for additional notes. It awaits me each morning and I toss the old one when a new month begins. I do most of my other planning and lesson prep on my PC and/or laptop, however.
Posted by bullgatortail on July 8, 2010 at 1:42 PM (Answer #3)
In my last job I was forced to update a calendar that was shared so my boss and other colleagues could see my engagements. I must admit I really resented that and found that using an old-fashioned diary was the best way, but I did get into it in the end. I just couldn't be bothered with the whole syncing calendars malarky and a diary doesn't run out of battery or lose charge...
Posted by accessteacher on July 8, 2010 at 2:11 PM (Answer #4)
I have a calendar that is desktop size, so that daily appts./meetings stay in my head. But what has really worked for me is using my laptop. Since I take it back and forth between home and school, I have a word doc that is essentially my ever-changing "to-do" list. This has been much more effective than the lists of paper I used to have; I can add and delete things as necessary, rank them w/asterisks for things I really need to do NOW, I can have a school section and a home section...and it is always with me. Works for me!
Posted by lynn30k on July 8, 2010 at 4:36 PM (Answer #5)
When it comes to "to-do" lists, I'm still a fan of the assignment books I used in high school and college. I get a certain satisfaction out of physically checking off completed tasks.
On the other hand, I'm completely addicted to google calendar as a means of synchronizing my schedule with others in my family. GENIUS. Google thinks of everything.
Posted by clairewait on July 8, 2010 at 6:01 PM (Answer #6)
I keep everything on a 2-year calendar printed and distributed by Josten's (the yearbook, announcement, class ring people). It's the same size and shape as a notebook, so it fits easily into my pile of paperwork; it also allows me to include everything I need because the boxes are 2" x 2" or so. That's for the calendar aspect of organizing; for my daily organization I prefer a legal pad in a binder for list-making. Don't you just love new school supplies?!?!
Posted by auntlori on July 8, 2010 at 8:57 PM (Answer #7)
I tried the iPhone apps, and while I still love the device, it sure is easy to get overplugged in and spend more time trying to organize your teaching life than you actually save. So believe it or not I usually use an old fashioned desk calendar for most of the organizing of tasks, meetings, etc. I've got in boxes and out boxes, and I grade one of my five classes of homework/tests per weeknight and have most of my weekends free.
Posted by brettd on July 9, 2010 at 1:42 AM (Answer #8)
I use my plan book for engagements like guest speakers, meetings, PD, etc. and I double it with the electronic calendar that accompanies our Outlook email program. That way, I'll receive a reminder a day or two in advance and can be ready for changes since I don't always look at the lesson planner days in advance after I've filled in the plan for the week. It's nice to have the reminder since I am so often bogged down with individual student issues--drama, problems, or "I just need to talk" during my free time at school.

I'm old school, that's for sure. Not saying I will never transfer to the dark side of Blackberry Planning, but at the moment I'm saving my blackberry for pie. I keep everything, EVERYTHING, in a three-ring binder with sections: grades, parent contacts, attendance and grades, and seating charts. Of course, I always start off more organized than I end up. By May, I'm cursing my system, but I really don't think I could do anything else. I always carry a pencil case with my thumbdrive (which I wouldn't do without), highlighters, and cool colored pens for grading. Appointments I keep in my agenda book that I carry at all times. It's worked for years, so I can't see changing it up, at least not yet.
Posted by ktmagalia on July 9, 2010 at 6:40 AM (Answer #10)
The only modern I've incorporated is my laptop and cell phone. I guess I'm still old school in a lot of ways because I wouldn't know what to do with an ipod, mp3 player or blackberry. The simpler the better for me! As it is, my 17-year-old daughter had to show me how to set up my cell phone and she knows all the ins and out of my laptop, too! Welcome to the 21st century!
As far as organizing everything, it all goes into my teacher planning guide. It's my appointment book, lesson plan, and seating chart all in one. I make good use of highlighter markers and everything I get done gets highlighted. Then I can see at a glance what remains to be done for the next day.
Another handy thing I have is a rolling backback. Everything I need to take home goes into the backpack and everything that needs to go to school goes there as well. It's thorough, simple, and it works!

I keep a large desk calander and I write EVERYTHING on it. A number in the corner of the date gives the sub a heads up to what page she should look in my lesson planner. Any meetings or due dates, any outings or classroom visits. I also write anything notable that happens during the school day ie; restraints, assaults, runaways(happens a lot in my classroom).

I have to admit, I get very excited when I see all the new school supplies set up in stores.
I am a bit old fashioned when it comes to my planner. I still use a paper one for the fact that I can easily jot down notes and use different colored pens to keep things organized.

To organized the things you wanted to do. Look on my considerations and see if one of it will help you:
a. Decide on what kind of material you always use that have an easy access on your eyes and hands
b. Use materials that you mastered or knows the advantage and disadvantages of using it
c. What do you like,a high-tech one or a simple one?
d. Try using the first equipment you wanted to use and evaluate if it helps you a lot. If not, try using another until you arrive a comfortable one

Our district has done away with paper gradebooks, and we use an online grading program for just about everything that used to go in a paper gradebook. Many teachers, though, still need to have a physical gradebook, so we generally print out sheets from the grading program and use those. We're supposed to take attendance every period on our laptops, but since so many of us teach in different classrooms, it often takes too much time to cart the laptop around, log in to the grading system (if we're in a part of the building that has a good wireless signal!), and record the attendance. I've found that I just need to have a paper backup.

The first step to organize, happens in our mind, I think. Clarity in thinking also helps in prioritizing tasks. The methods that work for me are forming mental spaces were I arrange 'things to do' in one or two larger categories such as long term and short term goals. This would give me a global vision of tasks to fulfil within a specific time. Once I have a somewhat clear mental picture, then I write it down on to my laptop in the e-'post it' (comes with Windows 7).

10. Guadalupe Mountains
Guadalupe Mountains National Park is worth a visit just for a look at the towering face of El Capitan, part of what park officials bill as the world's best example of a fossilized reef. The park drew 198,000 visitors in 2009. Late October and early November is the best time to visit, to take in the changing foliage in McKittrick Canyon. Located within an hour's drive south of the more popular Carlsbad Caverns National Park in New Mexico, if you're heading to that park you could easily fit a visit to Guadalupe Mountains National Park on the same trip.
9. Dry Tortugas
Located some 70 miles west of Key West, Florida, Dry Tortugas National Park is one of the most isolated U.S. national parks. That explains why only 52,000 people visited the park in 2009. Accessible only by boat or seaplane, the park offers great diving and snorkeling opportunities, and history buffs will enjoy touring Fort Jefferson, a 19th century U.S. military installation that is the largest masonry structure in the Western Hemisphere.
8. Great Sand Dunes
Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve in southern Colorado draws fewer than 300,000 visitors a year. The most amazing feature in the park are its 750-foot sand dunes, the tallest in North America, but there are also plenty of other sights to take in, from 13,000-foot mountain peaks to alpine lakes and old-growth forests.
7. North Cascades
The Pacific Northwest contains several popular national parks, but North Cascades National Park in Washington doesn't share that distinction, drawing only 27,000 visitors in 2009. Here is what everyone else is missing, in a statement on the park's website: "Jagged peaks, deep valleys, cascading waterfalls and over 300 glaciers." The park also boasts nearly 400 miles of trails.
6. Isle Royale
Located in the middle of Lake Superior, the only access to Isle Royale National Park is by boat or floatplane, which might explain why less than 15,000 people took the trouble to do that in 2009. The park features 45-mile-long Isle Royale, although hundreds of other small islands nearby are under park jurisdiction. There are roughly 165 miles of hiking trails, including the 40-mile Greenstone Ridge Trail. In addition to camping, there is a lodge available for overnight stays.
5. Great Basin
Great Basin National Park, which became a national park in 1934, celebrated its 75th anniversary in 2009 by welcoming its 3 millionth all-time visitor. To put that in perspective, in 75 years, the Nevada park has drawn fewer visitors than the 3.3 million people who visited Yellowstone National Park in 2009. That's not to suggest Great Basin is in any way comparable to Yellowstone, yet it's worth a visit. By day, check out 13,063-foot Wheeler Peak. Or, bring your camping equipment for a night under the stars, as Great Basin's remote location in the desert makes it an ideal place for astronomy buffs. A 2005 National Park Service study found Great Basin to be one of the darkest areas in the U.S.
4. Congaree
Congaree National Park, in central South Carolina, is a relatively recent addition to the National Park system, added in 2003. The park is known for its old-growth floodplain forest, which is believed to be the largest remnant of such forest in North America. A canoe or kayak may be the best way to enjoy the park, but there are also more than 20 miles of hiking trails.
3. Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park
Any national park that includes the word "canyon" in its name should be worth checking out, right? Yet Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park in southwest Colorado drew a rather paltry 171,000 visitors in 2009. By contrast, the better-known Rocky Mountain National Park about 150 miles to the northeast drew an estimated 2.8 million visitors in 2009. If you're going, take a drive along the south rim, the more popular side, and hike along one of the trails.
2. Capitol Reef
Located in southern Utah, Capitol Reef National Park draws a little more than a half million visitors each year, a respectable figure, yet that's a fraction of the visitors who flock to neighboring national parks in Utah, such as Zion (2.7 million visitors in 2009), Arches (1 million) and Bryce Canyon (1.2 million). Perhaps travelers are a bit dazed after running through the spectacular beauty of Utah's best national parks and decide to skip the Capitol Reef and nearby Canyonlands National Park, which drew only 436,000 visitors in 2009. The Capitol Reef itself is part of a 100-mile-long protusion in the earth's crust. Take a hike, bike some of the roads in the park, or bait a hook for fishing in the Fremont River.
1. Big Bend
Located in Texas, right on the Mexican border, Big Bend National Park is a long way from population centers, which keeps visitor traffic relatively low, around 350,000 visitors per year. If you make the journey, take a hike on one of the challenging trails in the Chisos Mountains or raft on the Rio Grande River in your own equipment, or with one of the local outfitters. If you're going, bear in mind this warning posted on the park's web site: "Visitors should be aware that drug smuggling routes pass through the park."

NOT everyone was impressed by Lewis Hamilton's win. Spanish sports daily Marca made it clear that it felt that the Briton's path to victory had been cleared by the world governing body FIA's decision to relegate Hamilton's McLaren team-mate Fernando Alonso to sixth on the grid from pole position.
The ruling was made late on Saturday night after Alonso's presence in the pit lane prevented Hamilton from getting in a final qualifying lap.
"This way you can win anything!" was Marca's ironic headline on their internet site, www.marca.com below a photo of a celebrating Hamilton.
