Just using this to translate an abstract from English to French - a great addition to a regular bilingual dictionary and thesaurus, and available from English to a good number of Romance and Slavic languages.
Susan's curator insight, February 19, 1:18 AM
How good is your ear for picking out the language being spoken? Give this game a try! #foreignlanguages
Susan's curator insight, March 20, 2013 12:46 AM
I have used Storytelling with 15-year olds! They also loved it. If you get your students to write their stories directed towards young children, it helps them to use simple vocabulary and structures which is great writing practice for them. Afterwards they can share them on a wiki/blog/moodle site. Very rich! I'm attaching two examples of my students' stories.

#giovanna g.: da twitter #Scuola2.0...... lo strumento è proprio utile, specie nelle difficoltà di apprendimento alla lettura.
Steve Kirk's curator insight, November 19, 2013 5:54 AM
A six-unit online course in science-oriented writing. There are some interesting tips here for speakers of different languages...but no differentiation by academic discipline. Some generalisations do, of course, hold, however, and so there is some useful material here - if taken critically. See what you think.
Illustrations here and there by the Times Higher Education cartoonist, Jorge Cham.
Thanks to @annehodg for bringing this to my attention.
Eion_D's curator insight, March 30, 3:44 AM
Hopefully more engaging than the last post, John Green has created a series of Crash Course videos based around Literature. This is the first, it links in to our discussions about thinking critically, and why it's so important to be able to delve deeper. Finding meaning, creating an analysis of a text shouldn't be a nightmare; it should give you the opportunity to view the world differently. So with that in mind, and having watched the video, I want you to sit down and have a think about the text Romeo & Juliet, before answering these two questions:
Using the comments section, create for me, a list of the things you have learnt from the play. It's pretty simple, just a list of information, literary concepts, feelings or understandings you have gained from reading the play. Why? Because reflecting on what we've learnt from a text will help us move forward in understanding ourselves and how we can communicate those changes with others. By doing it together, with everyone's input, we can create a storyboard of our learned experiences as a group.
Pick a character from the play (this exercise may help, if you're struggling to build the above list). Choose the character you thought you would most hate. Tell me why you thought they would be loathsome. And then as clearly and concisely as you can, explain why you were surprised that you didn't hate them at all. What experiences changed your mind? Were they persuasive speakers? Did their actions redeem themselves in your eyes? What emotion, or lived experience caused you to empathise with them, despite how much you wanted to hate them?
Shona Whyte's curator insight, August 2, 2013 12:19 AM
Ready-made video and worksheet with teacher's version; could be used regularly or as a one-off.
Steve Kirk's curator insight, July 8, 2013 12:54 AM
This is a great collection of learning resources, designed by Andy Gillet (@UEfAP | http://www.uefap.com/) for the British Council. The resources draw on the BAWE corpus work done by Hilary Nesi and Sheila Gardner, published as Genres across the Disciplines: Student Writing in Higher Education (CUP). Students (and teachers) can learn about the 13 genre families identified and their relevance to UK university study. The website materials are ESRC funded - and free for all to use.
Shona Whyte's curator insight, June 16, 6:15 AM
Nice selection of different accents for awareness raising or teacher education
jillyfrees's curator insight, August 12, 2013 12:09 AM
Ooh - this looks really handy. The trick is to cherry pick the right one for the right teaching moment! I've clipped it to Evernote and will try to remember to pick one out each time I'm looking for a quick activity in class or to add to the class blog as a student-directed review activity.
English@Holme's curator insight, February 7, 9:25 AM
Hundreds of quizzes on loads of different themes - something for everyone!

BOSTON, MA-The Boston Red Sox today selected left-handed pitcher Tommy Layne to the active major league roster from Triple-A Pawtucket and optioned him to Pawtucket. He was then recalled as the club's 26th man on the active roster for the second game of today's day-night doubleheader against the Baltimore Orioles at Fenway Park beginning at 7:15 p.m. Layne will wear No. 59.
Executive Vice President/General Manager Ben Cherington made the announcement.
This is the first major league stint of the season for Layne, 29, who is 5-1 with six saves and a 1.51 ERA (7 ER) in 30 appearances this season, all in relief for Pawtucket. He has fanned 46 batters in 41.2 innings, allowing just 25 hits and 18 walks, and has not allowed a run in 9.2 innings over his last nine outings, going 1-0 with all six saves in that time. The left-hander leads the team in appearances, innings, and saves, ranks second in wins, and tops club relievers in ERA and strikeouts. He ranks fourth among International League relief qualifiers in opponent batting average (.174) and fewest base runners per nine innings (10.1). Signed by the Red Sox as a minor league free agent in November 2013, he is 2-2 with two saves, a 2.84 ERA, 31 strikeouts, and 19 hits allowed in 25.1 innings over 40 major league games, all out of the San Diego Padres' bullpen from 2012-13.
Under Major League Baseball Rules, teams are permitted to add an extra player for the second game of doubleheaders played within one day of the original postponement. With this move, the Red Sox' 40-man roster is now at 40.

Can N70, N72 or even N91 be added? (Or any 176x208, if there are others compatible with RDA.)
Can N70, N72 or even N91 be added? (Or any 176x208, if there are others compatible with RDA.)
According to the sticky thread in this boards, probably yes. However it may make sense specifying if you need S60 2nd or 3rd edition device.
all of these models have been available in RDA in the past. But I'm not sure if they work anymore nowadays (some legacy code have been dropped out, at least 2nd ed. devices might not work anymore). From 3rd ed. the only devices with 176x208 screensize are 3250 and N91/N91 8GB.
another thing is that all these models are now quite old, and there is not probably a lot of demand for them anymore. However I will try to check at some point if I can get one of those devices to work in RDA and if all goes ok, make it at least temporarily available.
Both 3250 and N91 are now available on RDA (at least temporarily).

Runaway chef is no smiling matter!
11:40am Tuesday 8th May 2012 in Chorley
Customers arriving at a town centre restaurant were left puzzled after being greeted by a sign which said the business was closed because the chef had 'run off'.
The sign on the door of the Thai Smile on Market Street over the weekend with the restaurant shut.
It read 'We have to closing down because chef running away'.
Pictures of the sign were posted on social networking site Twitter on Sunday. One user listed as @Chorleybabe, said: "Check out the notice on the door of Thai Smile restaurant on Market St, I had to giggle lol."
Nobody from the restaurant could be contacted.

Vegetarian / Vegan Nutrition for Teenagers
More and more teenagers are choosing not to eat meat, poultry or fish. They are becoming vegetarians. Teenage vegetarians are often faced with pressures — pressures from parents concerned about their health, and pressures from within to continue on the path they have chosen. Photo above is Julie Hasson's recipe for Quinoa Burgers.
Variety is the Key to a Healthy Vegetarian Diet
Probably the most frequent questions for teenage vegetarians are about the nutritional adequacy of their food choices. A vegetarian diet can be enjoyed by people of all ages. The key to a healthy vegetarian diet is variety. Just as your parents should be concerned if you only eat hamburgers, they should also worry if you only eat potato chips and salad. A healthy, varied vegetarian diet includes fruits, vegetables, plenty of leafy greens, whole grain products, nuts, seeds and legumes. Some vegetarians also choose to eat dairy products and/or eggs.
Teenage vegetarians have nutritional needs that are the same as any other teenager. The years between 13 and 19 are times of especially rapid growth and change. Nutritional needs are high during these years. The nutrients you will probably be asked about the most are protein, calcium, iron, and vitamin B12.
What About Protein?
North American vegetarian teens eating varied diets rarely have any difficulty getting enough protein as long as their diet contains enough energy (calories) to support growth. Cow's milk and lowfat cheese are protein sources; however, beans, breads, cereals, nuts, peanut butter, tofu, and soy milk are also some foods that are especially good sources of protein. Only fruits, fats, and alcohol do not provide much protein, and so a diet based only on these foods would have a good chance of being too low in protein.
It is not necessary to plan combinations of foods to obtain enough protein or amino acids (components of protein). A mixture of plant proteins eaten throughout the day will provide enough essential amino acids.
Other Important Nutrients for Vegetarian Teenagers
Especially during adolescence, calcium is used to build bones. Bone density is determined in adolescence and young adulthood; so it is important to include three or more good sources of calcium in your diet every day. Cow's milk and dairy products do contain calcium. However, there are other good sources of calcium such as tofu processed with calcium sulfate, green leafy vegetables including collard greens, mustard greens, and kale, and calcium-fortified soy milk and orange juice.
Iron requirements of teenagers are relatively high. By eating a varied diet, a vegetarian can meet his or her iron needs, while avoiding the excess fat and cholesterol found in red meats such as beef or pork. To increase the amount of iron absorbed from a meal, eat a food containing vitamin C as part of the meal. Citrus fruits and juices (for example, orange juice), tomatoes, and broccoli are all good sources of vitamin C. Foods which are high in iron include broccoli, raisins, watermelon, spinach, black-eyed peas, blackstrap molasses, chickpeas, and pinto beans.
Vitamin B12 is a vitamin which only vegans (vegetarians eating no dairy, eggs, meat, fish, and birds) need to add to their diet. Some cereals and fortified soy milks have vitamin B12 (check the label). Red Star T-6635 nutritional yeast flakes (Vegetarian Support Formula) also supply vitamin B12.
Healthy Steps to Your Ideal Weight
Many teenagers are concerned about losing or gaining weight. To lose weight, look at your diet. If it has lots of sweet or fatty foods, replace them with fruits, vegetables, grains, and legumes. If your diet already seems healthy, try to get more exercise — walking, running or swimming daily, for example.
If you are trying to gain weight, you will need to eat more food. Perhaps eating more often or eating foods somewhat higher in calories and lower in bulk will help. Try to eat three or more times a day whether you are trying to gain weight or lose weight. It is hard to get all of the nutritious foods you need if you only eat one meal a day.
If you feel that you cannot control your eating behavior or if you are losing a great deal of weight, you should discuss this with your health care provider.
Quick Foods for Busy People
With the demands of school and outside activities, it may often seem there is just not enough time to eat. Here are some foods that require little or no preparation. Some of these foods can be found in fast-food restaurants — check the menu.
Here are some good, ready-to-eat snacks: Apples, oranges, bananas, grapes, peaches, plums, dried fruits, bagels and peanut butter, carrot or celery sticks, popcorn, pretzels, soy cheese pizza, bean tacos or burritos, salad, non-dairy yogurt, non-dairy milk, rice cakes, sandwiches, frozen juice bars.

In Williston, the husband and wife team of doctors. Derek and Christy Fischer had opened Fischer Family Chiropractic. They are located at 226 West 14th Street. Christy is a Williston native...and after some time in the Twin Cities, it was a move back to Williston they were ready for...and are taking advantage of...
(Dr. Christy Fischer - Fischer Family Chiropractic) "With the economy in Williston there is such an influx of people so we have been really busy so far."
They each specialize in a different area...but compliment each other very well...
(Dr. Derek Fischer - Fischer Family Chiropractic) "She sees more of the women and children and pre-natal care and I see more of the sports injuries and males who come in here. Together we see lots of families and we like to take care of families."
They recently renovated their office as well giving it a much needed make-over.
In Minot -- on base -- at the Exchange a new, very busy business has opened this month. Floyd Lemere and his wife Charity have added Dakota Alterations to Dakota Pride N More, a gift shop they opened last year. Only open a few days, Dakota Alterations has already taken off fast...and expansion is planned.
(Floyd Lemere - Minot) "We started with one full time sewer and a supervisor and now we are adding a few more full time sewers and working it as we go now."
The gift shop keeps North Dakota products on hand...and they are very popular with a population that for the most part isn't native to the state...
(Floyd Lemere - Minot) "I have a lot of people who come here to visit their son or daughter and they will purchase something and all of a sudden they are contacting me to see if they can ship it south because they like it that much."
Both locations are open Monday through Saturday. With Business Beat, I'm Perry Olson.
Chantelle Pepple says she hopes people will have a greater appreciation for what "this monster took from this world and my family."

The salt spreaders and snow trucks are all out there plowing the snow but here is where New York City's snow fighting goes high-tech: the Department of Sanitation has unveiled an interactive GPS-based tracking system called "Plow NYC."
This grid tracks the location of the more than 1,700 plows and spreaders equipped with GPS devices working to clear the streets and roadways of the 5 boroughs.
The Plow NYC website allows city residents to type in their street address to see when a snow truck has been on their specific street in real time.
"They'll have 2 options: to either view their snow removal designation, which will tell them if they're primary secondary or tertiary or private street, or they can see when they were last serviced or if their street has been serviced," said Chief Shari Pardini of the Sanitation Department.
This radio room works in tandem with the satellite war room making sure that crews in the field and the staff command central are all on the same page.
"Any conditions that are found or any concerns that we have, we'll reach out to the nearest vehicle via radio and say make a pass on this street or make can you check a condition or mostly to communicate with the field officers," DOS's Edward Grayson said. "They have the eyes on the ground and then give us that feedback so that we know our response is appropriate."
The system is online now.

1. The Arizona sandstone the author used came in
large, irregular slabs of varying
The project architect created the layout, a 6x6-foot
repeating square containing 11 rectangular pieces (Figure 2).
Because so much cutting was involved — and because the
soft sandstone cuts fairly easily — we decided to use our
own crew to cut and dry-fit the pieces, then bring the mason in
to set and grout the stone.
2. A repeating grid of 11 rectangles made a
pleasing floor layout.
Arizona sandstone is sold by the ton, in pallets of about 1
1/2 tons. The stone yard told us to expect 110 square feet of
coverage per ton. Since we were cutting the irregular slabs
into rectangles, we thought we'd need to add in about 20% for
waste, for a total of about 5 tons of stone for a
460-square-foot area. In fact, waste was quite a bit higher
than expected, and we ended up needing 8 tons. Fortunately,
we'll be able to use much of the sizable scrap pile elsewhere
on the project.
With the help of CAD, we superimposed the stone layout on
the floor plan. There were ten different sizes of stone,
ranging from 24x36 inches to 12x18 inches. Using colored
pencils, we marked and counted the number of each size, then
made full-size templates for each from scrap OSB (Figure
3. OSB templates assisted in getting the best
yield from the stone slabs.

MOBILE, Ala. (AP) -- One crewmember died and rescuers were searching Wednesday for three others missing after a Coast Guard helicopter crashed in Alabama's Mobile Bay during a training mission, U.S. Coast Guard officials said.
Divers planned to return to the sunken wreckage after daylight Wednesday. Overnight fog had hampered searches from the air, Chief Petty Officer John Edwards said.
The MH-65C helicopter crashed Tuesday evening near Point Clear, Ala. One crewmember was found unresponsive and later declared dead, the Coast Guard said in a news release early Wednesday.
"Our main concern is locating the three remaining crewmembers," Bordelon told The Associated Press early Wednesday.
Edwards said fog was beginning to clear and visibility was improving. He said divers overnight had gone to the site of the helicopter, in about 13 feet of water, but were unable to gain access to its fuselage. He said they planned to try again Wednesday morning.
The aircraft had departed the Aviation Training Center in Mobile, Ala., on a training mission earlier Tuesday, Bordelon said. Coast Guard officials say it went down about two to three miles southwest of Point Clear. The three missing are all Coast Guard members.
"Our thoughts and prayers are with the families of the crewmembers during this difficult time," Capt. Don Rose, commanding officer of Coast Guard Sector Mobile, said in a statement.
The Coast Guard said two helicopters, an airplane and several vessels were involved in the search.
The missing crew members are "very well outfitted with survival gear wearing cold weather exposure suits," Rose told WALA-TV
"We're going to continue to search, were going to continue to go down," Rose said. "We know where the wreckage is so we're going to look there as well."
The cause of the crash remains under investigation.

A Colorado woman was impaled by a light pole after she crashed because she was texting and driving.
This week, two North Carolina men pleaded guilty to Felony Second Degree Kidnapping and Felony Assault Inflicting Serious Bodily Injury. 22-year-old Barry Ronnie Carver of Manson, and 25-year-old Jonathan Lee Bryant of Morganton were convicted. They were each sentenced to 31-47 months in the North Carolina Department of Adult Correction. The charges stem from an incident in June 2010 while both men were being housed in the Burke Catawba District Confinement Facility. The men are being taken to Raleigh for processing. Carver's sentence will not begin for awhile though. He is currently serving out a 173-217 month sentence for an August 2011 conviction of Felony Statutory Rape. The new sentence will begin when he has completed the sentence from his rape conviction.

RALEIGH — With Scott Wood in the lineup, N.C. State didn't have to worry about facing a zone defense.
Without Wood, and with the current crop of Wolfpack shooters in a deep freeze from the 3-point line, N.C. State has been getting a heavy dose of zone.
Coach Mark Gottfried expects to see more zone during Wednesday night's home game against Northwestern in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge.
N.C. State can't just set screens and run plays for Wood, who graduated after last season as the school's career leader in 3-pointers (334). Wood led the ACC in 3-pointers (104) and 3-point percentage (44.1) last season.
N.C. State has struggled from beyond the arc this season, especially the past four games. The Wolfpack has gone 24 of 87 from 3, and just 12 of 57 in the past four games. Its season percentage (27.6) ranks 323rd out of 345 Division I teams.
Junior guard Ralston Turner, who is expected to be one of the team's top shooters, said confidence is the biggest issue.
"It's just mental," said Turner, who made 99 3-pointers in two seasons at Louisiana State. "We have guys on this team who can shoot. We just need to see a few go in. Once we see a few go in, hopefully it will spread around."
While Wood was counted on for 3-point production during his four seasons, Gottfried put together this season's roster with more outside options. Turner, guard Desmond Lee, guard Tyler Lewis, guard Cat Barber and forward T.J. Warren are capable shooters, Gottfried said.
The best 3-point shooter on the team is probably freshman walk-on Patrick Wallace, who has made 4 of 5 attempts in limited action.
Barber (3 of 6) has been the only player in the regular rotation to make more than 33 percent of his 3s. Turner (8 of 24), Warren (5 of 19), Lewis (2 of 14) and Lee (2 of 15) have struggled.
"I think our guys are better shooters than their numbers are saying right now," Gottfried said. "It's early. I want those guys to step up confidently and make an open shot."
During Saturday's 75-56 win against Eastern Kentucky, the Wolfpack struggled against the Colonels' zone, especially during the first half. N.C. State went 0-for-7 in the first half and trailed 27-21.
N.C. Central provided the template for Eastern Kentucky in its 82-72 overtime win against the Wolfpack on Nov.20. N.C. State made 3 of 20 from 3 in the loss to the Eagles.
Gottfried was encouraged with how his team played in the second half against Eastern Kentucky. The Wolfpack only made two 3s but moved the ball more and got into the interior of Eastern Kentucky's defense. The Wolfpack ended up with 54 points in the second half and won going away.
Gottfried said the team needs to build off how it attacked Eastern Kentucky's zone with ball movement and creating open shots.
"We have to the move the ball better, move our bodies better and get inside the zone," he said.

FEMA will be extending its deadline for its Individual Assistance program for individuals and families by about one month, to Jan. 28, 2013.
FEMA has responded with agility and flexibility to the challenges posed by Superstorm Sandy and I'm glad that the Agency has heeded calls for more time for people to apply for assistance as they work to recover.
The extension applies to Sandy survivors on Long Island, in New York City, and in several Hudson Valley counties.
According to FEMA, assistance for individuals and families can include money for rent, essential home repairs, personal property losses and other serious disaster-related needs not covered by insurance, including medical expenses, vehicle repair, and reimbursement for moving espenses and transportation costs.
This would be the second deadline extended by FEMA after Superstorm Sandy. The agency's "Public Assistance Grants" for local municipalities received a one-month extension, until the end of the year.
Disaster assistance for small businesses, non-profits and religious institutions, including loans and grants, continue to have a Dec. 31 application deadline – I have been helping lead an effort to have that deadline extended, too, writing to FEMA Administrator Craig Fugate and participating in a bipartisan press conference last week. Mr. Fugate responded in a recent news report that he is open to extending the deadline but a decision has not been announced yet.
To help small businesses, non-profits and religious institutions learn more about the assistance available to them, I am holding a forum featuring FEMA and the Small Business Administration, among other agencies, at 9:15 a.m. on Dec. 17 at the Baldwin Public Library.
Storm survivors can register for FEMA assistance by calling 800-621-3362, visiting www.disasterassistance.gov on a computer or visiting m.fema.gov on a smartphone. Constituents of my district may also contact her office for help applying.
Carolyn McCarthy is the representative of New York's Fourth Congressional District. She was first elected in 1996.

The United States is one of the most diverse countries on earth, jam packed full of amazing sights from St. Patrick's cathedral in New York to Mount Hollywood California.The Northeast region is where it all started. Thirteen British colonies fought the American Revolution from here and won their independence in the first successful colonial rebellion in history. Take a look at these rolling hills carpeted with foliage along the Hudson river here, north of New York City.The American south is known for its polite people and slow pace of life. Probably they move slowly because it's so hot. Southerners tend not to trust people from "up north" because they talk too fast. Here's a cemetery in Georgia where you can find graves of soldiers from the Civil War.The West Coast is sort of like another country that exists to make the east coast jealous. California is full of nothing but grizzly old miners digging for gold, a few gangster rappers, and then actors. That is to say, the West Coast functions as the imagination of the US, like a weird little brother who teases everybody then gets famous for making freaky art.The central part of the country is flat farmland all the way over to the Rocky Mountains. Up in the northwest corner you can find creative people in places like Portland and Seattle, along with awesome snowboarding and good beer. Text by Steve Smith.

For Apple fans and iPhone aficionados the day is finally here. The iPhone 5C and 5S hit stores today. Customers could preorder the new less expensive 5C model but not the 5S.
Around 4 a.m. about 50 people were already in line at International Plaza in Tampa. Pamela Niemerier was at the front. She got to the store at 4 p.m. Thursday.
"I used to live in Tampa. I moved away and I'm living in Telluride, Colorado out in the mountains," Niemerier said. "It's not like I have an Apple store much less an AT&T store is two hours away from me."
She came back to the Bay Area to visit and pick up 3 iPhone 5S models.
College student, Scott Roeper, considers waiting in line with his father a "fun thing to do together." He wants a gold 5S.
"I just randomly said gotta take a chance," Roeper said. "Gotta go for it. We'll drive out take turns sleeping in a car and trying to avoid rain storms and just have fun little bit of family bonding time."
Apple at International Plaza opens at 8 a.m.

My New Year's resolutions are rarely made the first of January. Typically they follow the recognition of an undesirable habit I wish to change. Sometimes the behavior or example of others leads to examination of my own interaction. Since that can happen anytime, I make New Year's resolutions year-round.
The impetus for my most recent resolution was an incident on a holiday cruise. Following participation in one of the numerous shipboard entertainments, our "team" was preparing to leave the lounge when a couple stopped to chat.
Only it wasn't a chat - it was a rant. The couple (whom we didn't know) were members of the winning team. Our congratulations were lost in the stream of complaints and criticism leveled at everyone and everything associated with the cruise. Beginning with the staff member who had conducted the contest, through members of the cruise director's staff, the itinerary, the shore excursions, the food, the entertainment and ending with the roughness of the Atlantic Ocean, they didn't waste a kind word on anything or anyone.
When they finally moved on, our team stood in stunned silence. Then someone asked, "Why did they come on the cruise?" It appeared they were determined not to enjoy anything.
I thought about the incident often over the next few days. The couple had been in perfect sync - one picking up with complaints while the other drew breath before returning to the fray. It occurred to me that was their usual way of interacting as a couple - perhaps not in all situations, but certainly in the current one.
People develop a style of interacting with different people and in different situations. Some people joke or trade insults with close friends, but change their way of interacting with coworkers, family or casual acquaintances. Another set of behaviors comes into play with strangers or in situations which are new or slightly uncomfortable. Between or among some friends, the typical interaction may consist of criticizing or making fun of surroundings or people.
Most of us have observed children showing off in new situations or trying to get attention. As we get older and feel unsure or uncomfortable in a situation, perhaps uncertain how to act or what to expect, some of us engage in criticizing or putting others down - a grown-up form of showing off. Fortunately, trying to make others look bad in an effort to make ourselves look superior rarely works.
Besides childhood reminders about saying please, thank you and excuse me, I recall the admonition "if you can't say something nice don't say anything at all."
Perhaps that is too simplistic, but being polite is never inappropriate. Gratuitous criticism, complaints and negativity, especially in an unfamiliar situation, does not accomplish anything positive - unless the person wishes to be avoided by others and not invited again.
The habit of finding fault as a way of interacting - just "chatting" - is not good for us. It may provide short-term feelings of inclusion or superiority, but it does not help us develop good attitudes toward others or learn tolerance or patience. It does not help us see the good in others. Instead, we become fault finders.
If you find yourself seeking something to criticize or sneer at just to share an unkind comment with someone else or to assure yourself of personal superiority, just stop. Instead, find at least one thing to admire, praise or look forward to. It may take an effort to reverse a pattern of behavior and establish a different one. But friends won't wonder what you say about them to others, you won't feel guilty about mean comments, and you may enjoy chats with friends more.
If negativity is a pattern you have adopted with a specific friend, tell them you are trying to be more positive and ask them to help you notice good things. If it is really hard to stop the criticism, try finding three good things for every negative one!
The apostle Paul, in his letter to the Philippians, directed them to think on those things which are lovely, pure, virtuous, of good report, or praiseworthy. (Philip. 4:8) That list is full of positive things and heeding his counsel does not leave room for us to look for negative things.
So, my first New Year's resolution - actually made in January this year - is to not let feelings of awkwardness or uncertainty in a situation lead me to criticize.
My second resolution is to remember that we are all children of God and need to feel loved. Positive comments and encouragement are of far greater value to my fellowmen and leave me less likely to feel remorse or embarrassment than unjust or unsolicited criticism.

In a recent Financial Times article, Professor Minor Myers commented on new options for frustrated U.S. shareholders. Whereas unhappy investors once felt their only choices were to sell their stock or sue the company, the SEC has begun to force boards of directors to properly respond to their majority holders. Professor Myers however told the Financial Times that the SEC's new regulations have not made such a difference. "What was amazing about last year – the first year of say on pay in the US – is that shareholders largely ignored the proxy firms," he said.

Mortal Kombat Kitana Mousepad with Breast Wrist Rest
Thursday, January 31, 2013 | kitana mousepad, mortal kombat mousepad
Oh Princess Kitana... how many times have I wanted to gently lay my wrists on you and ferociously maneuver my pointer. As many of you know, you have been able to get your hands on anime style boob pads for quite some time now, but it sure is nice to see Mortal Kombat lady warriors being added to the fray.
So your wrists will be healthy and strong at the mild cost of hairy palms. I am ok with that.

I'm sure no one want to talk about this now, much less in the midst of the 2nd half of the season, however reading countless of comments by United fans on popular site such as the ESPN, Goal.com, Sky Sports, personally, I'm pretty shocked that many United fans wants Jose Mourinho as their future successor.
Though I hate to see SAF retire, if he'll have to one day, one person I would hate to see in Old Trafford got to be Jose Mourinho. Even though I'm sure Jose Mourinho would do a decent to good job, I'm totally not inclined to him being SAF successor.
My take would be on Steve Bruce, David Moyes, Laurent Blanc, Carlos Quieroz and Martin O'Neill. I'll exclude Martin O'Neill and Carlos Quieroz as both are no longer young and I believe Martin O'Neill wouldn't want to take up such a role while I believe Carlos Quieroz would do well for an assistant rather than the head.
Steve Bruce looked good early the season as a promising manager after what he did with Wigan and his transformation of Sunderland for the start of the season. However, he have started showing that he's maybe is yet that good.
Laurent Blanc, though touted as a future successor by some of the websites, I still have my doubt. However, a few more good years with Bordeaux might clear my doubts.
David Moyes is probably the best pick in my opinion. Good work with the youth team, normally good buys and consistent results. However will the step to United be too big for him?
Jose Mourinho? Though I totally hate the idea of him taking over, because he's probably not going to stay at United for years, ruin the youth team, buy his team when he need players rather than develop, I don't think it'll be very much beneficial to United in a long term view but probably good for the years he's in the club.
As for Ryan Giggs, I'm not sure if suddenly giving him the manager role would be good or not. I rather him learn as maybe SAF's no.2 for a while or take up coaching.
Similarly, I believe whoever is going to replace SAF should always have SAF as a mentor, learning the insides of the club from the man himself.
What are your take over this? =D

I think Canon wants the sensor in the 70D to be a unique selling point compared to the T5i. I believe thats why they put the old 18mp sensor into the T5i while a new 18mp sensor is already available (SL1). I guess the 70D will get the new 18mp sensor.
Will 70d have a new sensor?

SIDDHARTHA, THE MUSICAL Concert Set for 54 Below, 1/23-24
Fresh off of its smash-hit European tour, Siddhartha, The Musical (www.SiddharthaTheMusical.com) makes its American premiere with three special concert performances at 54 Below (254 West 54th Street) on January 23rd at 7pm and January 24th at 7pm and 9:30pm. Tickets are priced at $40 (which includes a cocktail reception beginning an hour before each performance). Siddhartha, the Musical in Concert is produced by Gloria Grace Alanis, Fabrizio Carbon and Broadway International Entertainment (BIE).
Inspired by Herman Hesse's timeless novel, the musical tells the story of Prince Siddhartha's spiritual quest for enlightenment with a sizzling, Italian and South Asian-influenced pop-rock score and raw, sexy performances. This adaptation of one of the world's most iconic emotional journeys will delight fans of the novel, and audiences who appreciate the unique transformative power of musical theatre.
Written and directed by Isabella "Isabeau" Biffi with music by Isabeau and Fabio Codega, Siddhartha, the Musical will be performed in Italian with English narration and, in addition to 54 Below, will also play Herb Alpert's Vibrato Grill in Los Angeles from January 27th - January 28th and Costa Careyes Private Estate Resort in Careyes, Mexico on February 1st.
In 2006, singer-songwriter Isabeau was contacted by the Opera Jail, a maximum-security prison in Milan, to conduct a musical workshop, aiming to help rehabilitate its inmates. During the workshop, she established a musical theater program where all Opera prison inmates, even those with life sentences, participated as cast and crew. Three successful musicals later, Siddhartha, the most recent, transferred to a professional theater in Milan, to critical and commercial praise.
"It is astonishing that Siddhartha's evolution began in the Italian prison system, and grew into a full scale musical that has toured extensively through Italy in the last year," said producer Gloria Grace Alanis. "We are excited to introduce Siddhartha, the Musical into the US marketplace, and hope that this concert version will give audiences a taste of what's to come for our show."
Herman Hesse's novel Siddhartha is one of the best-regarded and most widely read books of the twentieth century, and contributed to Hesse's reception of the Nobel Prize in 1946. The novel has been translated into dozens of languages, including several different English versions, and was adapted into a film in 1972. In the nearly hundred years since its publication, Siddhartha has sold tens of millions of copies, and is still taught regularly in schools and universities around the world.
Siddhartha, The Musical in concert plays 54 Below (254 West 54th Street) on January 23rd at 7pm and January 24th at 7pm and 9:30pm. There is a $40 cover charge (which includes a cocktail reception beginning an hour before each performance). Tickets and information are available at www.54Below.com. Tickets on the day of performance after 4:00 are only available by calling (646) 476-3551.

Overall, there does not appear to be much contemporary research into
the developing relationship between speech and writing within
education, though Debra Myhill at Exeter is an exception. I also note
that one of the respondees, Katharina Schwabl, is about to start a PhD
at the University of Graz into preschool knowledge of linguistic variation
between spoken and written language. Manvender Kaur has also
supplied an interesting paper offering an intuitive analysis of corpora
using part-of-speech tagging, which may prove useful.
Many thanks to all those who took the time to reply to my query. In
particular, I would like to say thank you to the following individuals:

ARLINGTON - Bowling, race car driving and even singing, WFAA's Cynthia Izaguirre and Wednesday's Child Deandre had a blast at Alley Cats in Arlington.
Strap on the shoes, pick your ball and it's on. When 16-year-old Deandre was asked what his favorite part of the adventure was, he doesn't hesitate to answer.
"Getting strikes," said the young man with a bright smile.
Deandre loves to stay active. Whether it's race car driving, playing a mini-game of basketball or singing a song, the teen is incredibly sweet, respectful and easy to get along with. He's also very close with his brother and would like to keep in contact with him.
"My favorite thing to do with my brother is play basketball and football with him," he said.
Deandre also enjoys summer camp and all the activities that come with it.
"We play games, go swimming, eat marshmallows and s'mores," he said.
It's a good thing he's active because like most teens, the growing young man enjoys
foods with a high fat content.
"I like pizza, hamburgers, fries and tacos," he said.
Deandre has been diagnosed with a mild form of autism and receives special assistance in school to help him concentrate, comprehend the material and express himself.
"I like school because it's education," he said. "My favorite subject is math."
Deandre wants his adoptive family to know that he is fun, but quiet with people he doesn't know. He says he tries his best to listen and behave.
"I pray that I'm a good kid and a good man," said the teen.
Deandre needs a family that will be patient and reassuring as he adjusts to a new environment. As you'll find out very quickly, his sweet spirit will fill you with joy.
If you would like to learn more about Deandre, call 1-800-233-3405 during weekday business hours.

The 1 / focal length guide applies to 35mm equivalent focal length, so for crop sensor it does get that bit worse.
Why would that be true? Not questioning your personal experience but what's the technical reason for that. Possibly because with a crop-body you're standing further away for the same framing, so the angle of view is less, and vibrations due to hand shake would then cross a greater angle. Ok, true assuming same framing which is the case 99% of the time.
It's roughly true in my experience but not specifically due to it being a cropped sensor (as far as I can tell), more that cropped sensors see higher pixel densities (a 5d2 would be about 8mp as a crop with the same density but a 7d would be around 45-47mp as a full frame). In digital medium format, as sensors mp counts have increased drastically that requirement for better technique to avoid blur has increased along with it. I find with the same 50mm lense I need 1/60 on the 5d2 but 1/90 on a 7d for a high keeper rate, However 1/60 is about right for my 50mm on my rz67. If 1/fl holds true on a 6x7 like it does on 35mm it should also hold true for apsc. I guess if canon made a 45mp full frame sensor (sony probably have a 45mp apsc in the works ;-) ) it would probably need better technique or a faster shutter speed. By 'better technique' I refer to methods such as a tripod, IS, holding breath etc, I'm being clumsy with the wording, been awake too long, I mean just taking steps to avoid operator induced blur.
I found (as many did) the 7d to be more demanding than the 10d, 20d or 40d in that respect.
