Hurrah! I got to chat with Chris Jowaissis a bit at IL. He is incredible and I'm always glad to see a new post at Technobiblio.
Seems CJ has found the first state library podcast, an interview with "ODL Public Information Officer Bill Young about the Oklahoma Reads Oklahoma program." Give it a listen as you form your own plans for podcasting events and interviews...
Ken finds a podcast at the Haas School of Business at UC Berkeley Web site.
" On a hunch I searched for the RSS feed of the web site of the Haas School of Business at UC Berkeley, and I found a very professional, welcoming, and informative single podcast (linked here) from the admissions office about how they consider applications to the MBA program. You can see the impulse -- the admissions office must have had to answer questions about how they screen applicants hundreds of time each season, so this podcast might save them time repeating this information. All of us share the same bits of information over and over again in our work; podcasts must be one way to share a strong version of that information in an always-ready format. The tone is especially good -- the writer addresses not just the need for information but also some of the anxieties applicants face, while also giving good advice about how to make the best impression in an application or interview. I was impressed."
What questions do libraries answer a lot, over and over? How about a podcast on getting a library card and circulation policies? Or an overview of the library's programs, tech classes and book groups? A podcast intro to all departments of a library, written and spoken by members of each area?
Ponder what else might be done with the files? Inclusion on a library DVD orienting new users? Added to circulation digital devices?
Some key factors: a good voice, a reasonable recording that's easily downloadable, a well-written script - and time to produce them.
And don't miss Ken's post about the human voice on university Web sites! What is the voice of your library's Web site? Is it static, dull, tired? Is it alive with feeling and ready to tell you a story... Wowza but I love this stuff!
Just asking:
David Warlick reports on podcasts in the classroom and I'm pondering how libraries can be an extension of this digital content creation thing. I do believe that a "Digital Creation Station" in a library's Teen section might be a hit. Give them a Mac (or PC yeah yeah but Garageband is soooo cool!), a mic, some software and the chance to play!
And don't even let me hear you say "But what if they get loud?" or, heaven forbid, "what if they have FUN in the library making content to share with friends?"
What would the optimal Digital Creation Station include?
I'm intrigued by Chad's idea to create a collective podcast - especially the multiple voices on one topic slant. I look forwrad to hearing the 'cast on gaming!
Take a look:
And Jobs reports iTunes will have built in podcast support!
Apple CEO Steve Jobs told the assembled crowd at "D3: All Things Digital," that Apple would add Podcasting support to its next version of iTunes (4.9), which is due within 60 days. Apple will also be launching a service that will allow users to upload Podcast content -- Apple will then choose which content it will make available through iTunes, people at the event told MacCentral. Jobs also indicated that Apple had 70 percent market share for downloaded music.
MacMerc reports:
Podscope: Welcome Podcasters!
Podscope is the Internet's first spoken-word search engine for audio and video podcasts. If you would like to extend the the audience of your podcast by making it searchable please provide us with an RSS link below.
Hmmm... I would me more inclined to embrace podcasting completely if I could search for content.
I'm intrigued by this:
Two more viewpoints on podcasting... I agree with points in both. Take a look.
Once again, Pew jumps right into the Hot Tech fray. Download the report, read it and ponder how you might server your users with audio content. Wouldn't you like your library to be included on the iPods and other players in your town?
The Wikipedia entry on podcasting distinguishes this medium from traditional internet radio because it allows consumers increased flexibility in listening to audio content and because delivery of podcasts can be automated. Before podcasting, internet radio listeners had to tune in to scheduled programs or retroactively search for individual broadcasts to download. Podcasts offer the unique feature of being delivered automatically to subscribers. Once a copy is stored on the listener's computer or portable music player, podcasts can be time-shifted, or played at any time.
The audio blog from Georgia Perimeter College Libraries that david free has been working on. WOW: two libraries of note launching audio casts so close together... The world spins folks. Is your library ready?
Aaron offers Teen Audio Reviews. Well done! I've written about what David Free is doing and what Chris is planning, but here's a great example of not only audio content syndicated BUT a public Library involving users in the development of the Web presence.
Here's an e-mail comment I received from David Free a Reference Librarian
at Georgia Perimeter College - Decatur Campus in Decatur, GA. He said I could reproduce it here because I think it's an excellent example of how libraries might syndicate useful audio content that markets services, etc.
Thansk David!
Greetings. Well, I've been experimenting with podcasting for the last month
or so. I've done 3 so far, mostly pretty basic versions of the library news I post
on our campus library blog: events, services, new books. I'm doing these about
every 2 weeks or so. They're each about 12 mins long.
I'm looking at doing something fairly different with it though. My college
is a multicampus 2 year school, so what I've been doing is specific to my campus. But I've been talking with a colleague on another campus who is familiar with podasting about trying to do a library system-wide (4 campuses) monthly-ish radio show type podcast. We're going to set up a seperate blog just for this podcastand do one as a test to see how it goes and look at the level of interest. We're looking at this being a 30 minute or so show thing where we play Creative Commons licensed music between library related segments. These could be services, new database products, events/displays in various campus libraries, book reviews, interviews with authors/ librarians/ other campus folks or whatever. The idea for this came from a vague memory of reading about some libarians doing a show on a campus radio station.
Hopefully we can recruit other librarians to contribute audio segments or at
least written stuff that I could read. It may take some time to get going,
but it could be a really cool collaborative project to market the libraries.
There should be a demo version of this in the next couple of weeks, which
I'll be glad to share.
Good stuff folks!
I was interviewed last night by Greg Schwartz concerning the upcoming Computers in Libraries conference. Have a listen:
My part was "Made on a Mac!" :-)
I've been looking for podcast bits out in the blogosphere as i shape these thoughts. I came across these in my travels:
At Blisspix: http://blisspix.net/index.php?p=29
"As Ive commented to a couple of people and lists now, broadcasting/podcasting is fun, but it can be lonely and time-consuming to produce content. I found it quicker to produce live-to air in the studio, because I wasnt going back and fixing mistakes, and all the equipment was set up (so I could play grabs, a record, a CD, a minidisc and conduct a phone interview all at the same time if I really wanted). At home, I didnt have the luxury of a permanent set up, so if I wanted to add a song I would have to go back after recording and insert it. I suspect thats the case for most podcasters who are generally using fairly basic setups. No doubt there will be new software available in the next couple of months to make recording podcasts easier."
Jessamyn asked for comments about podcasting, and cited some interetsing reasons why it's not the format for her. She also points to this, which I totally get: http://www.honan.net/2005/02/call-me-flakerson.php
I've written about unplugging and balance and think sometimes you have to say "Sorry...I didn't get to read/download/listen/consume your content yet.." Sometimes I log on and there are suddenly 5 IMs for me! Recently, I turned an walked away from the Mac to unwind before addressing them. There is oonly so much time in a day - especially when two yellow fellows are eager to go outside!
"My multitasking does not extend to the audible realm." Jessamyn West
"I don't buy that the majority of listeners are actually syncing and listening on mobile devices, but either way, I think it's nice that people are taking the next step from text to multimedia."
But I digress: Ahhh... podcasting! Here's my all time favorite: Karen Schneider presents her Top Technology Trends from LITA via podcast: It's POETRY!
I have been pondering -- in fact, Aaron and I have had some in depth discussions about the merits and drawbacks of the library/librarian podcast this last weekend when he drove over to Mishawaka for a day long session on our CIL workshop and other up and coming stuff.
"Several librarian bloggers are starting to experiment with podcasts as a way to disseminate information. Podcasts work very much like RSS feeds, but are audio files sent out to iPods. If you don't use an iPod, you can still listen to the Podcasts as long as you have Windows Media Player installed on your computers.My question is: how can libraries use Podcasts to get information out to their patrons, particularly those teenagers who are the most likely to have an iPod? I would love to see your thoughts."
Frankly I see the application of syndicated audio content as more useful to libraries than to invidual librarians who blog. There is a niche here: one or two practioners who produce regularly scheduled audio broadcasts concerning LIS such as Mr. Greg Schwartz at Open Stacks.
Greg has done some nice stuff, but I realized in reading Jessamyn's posts that I agree with her. It's not blogging...it's broadcasting. Works for me. I just hope all my favorite bloggers don't convert solely to audio content. I would rather see libraries make promotional and informational audio content available when the format suits the content. Technomust occurs when folks in libraries say "we must get technology X" because all the other libraries are getting it. Bad idea! How does that serve a library's users? Want to share a weekly calendar of events -- put it up and feed it out with RSS. Makes sense. Have an author visiting? Ask if he or she might record a brief interview to be podcasted for users at home. What's the implications of fair use for someone to record HOT new music at the library and include brief song snippets -- this seems ok too.
Back in the day I recorded a segment for our educational radio station here in South Bend called "What's New at the Library." Are podcasts of the same stuff in our future? This would be great to carry around some cool content to listen to on a walk or at the gym.
Usable Podcast Archives: Most of the talk I've seen about podcasting has focused on ways the audio can resemble blogging done in a lively new medium, sound. So we get the regular posts and the familiar RSS. But if we're going to go to the trouble of making audio, at least some of the things we make might be created with an eye toward later use. With our blogs, at least somebody can run a keyword search and hope to locate a useful older piece, but with audio, there will be next to no useful searching capability if the posts resemble blogs.
But if some people use podcasting for other purposes that don't resemble blogs quite so closely, then the pieces might have a longer life. For example, students in speech or English classes might contribute their own recordings of great poems, with annotations or bibliographies to accompany them and with special attention paid to the sounds of good poems. Then later courses could use these collections for their own study, as well as contributing new poems and accompanying materials. The work would live on.
I posted on TTW that for some of the librarian produced podcasts I felt something was missing: chapter stops, a TOC, a way to better "mentally index" the content. Maybe the technology will improve? How can I search it? But maybe I was thinking of them as blogging and not as a "radio" show.
My big concern is someone taking on the task of recording weekly content and finding it a whole bunch of work! Just like all those library blogs that start and then STOP, will we see a bunch of sites that promised weekly -- daily?? podcasts dry up and blow away?
Here at TTW, I have recorded two podcasts as a test:
The first was very much a test. The second, I realized after it was done, was like a mini lecture on effective cmmunication channels in libraries for a class or workshop. Original content, a handout and a breakdown of my main points make up the whole. I realized later it might be kind of silly to include a handout when someone might be walking or driving -- sorry!
It was fun. I will return to it when the mood and the content strikes me. But BOY am I ready to see libraries jump on this wagon and cast out some content off of their websites -- talk about PRESENCE!
"Doc Searls may have said it best: Podcasting will shift much of our time away from an old medium where we wait for what we might want to hear to a new medium where we choose what we want to hear, when we want to hear it, and how we want to give everybody else the option to listen to it as well."
So, today, David King posted a videocast, thus giving us more content to ponder, aggregate and make time for. He makes some EXCELLENT points about what libraries might do with vide -- the same goes for audio. here they are
Benefits of Media Content (Podcasts of Audio or Video) to libraries:
Keeps IT staff interested :-)
Perfect for augmenting a Teen-driven Web site
Professors can archive/aggregate course lectures
Oral histories
Online storytimes
Local storytellers telling a story
Internal training
External training
Promotion of library events: interviews, music, speakers
This is an incredible time: iPods in libraries, podcasts via RSS, and librarians communicationg via blogs to create, improve and devlop serveices. Rock ON!
Let's try again. I did some tweaks on my setup.

Please comment... or e-mail...
I am sitting here this rainy cold Sunday in Northern Indiana trying to record the TTW Podcast #2. Here's my take on an unintended consequence: recording a podcast is also great prep for a presentation.... I have notes, some pages to refer to and my thoughts but it really helps to settle in and start talking -- to present the topic and see how it plays out as you record. It helps put ideas in place.
You get to hear yourself immediately as well-- eeek! Too many UMs and "wells" or weird sentences and I want to edit or rerecord.
Look for it soon....
I've been thinking about podcasts... dabbling a bit this week. One thing that is pretty darn cool is that some of this phenomenon/trend has roots in good old Open Source Software.
What is a podcast? Folks have been offering definitions. For example, PodcastAlley defines it, Webopedia does as well, and wikipedia has a great entry here:"A podcast is much like an audio magazine subscription: a subscriber receives regular audio programs delivered via the internet, and she or he can listen to them at her or his leisure."
For example, downloading Audacity is a good first step. Audacity is free, open source software for recording and editing sounds. It is available for Mac OS X, Microsoft Windows, GNU/Linux, and other operating systems, according to http://audacity.sourceforge.net/.
Then grab iPodder too at http://ipodder.sourceforge.net/index.php. iPodder, the site informs, "allows you to create your own custom online audio content from the thousands of audio sources on the web. It helps you select and download shows and music and to play whenever you want on your iPod, portable digital media player, or your computer. And it's all done automatically after you specify which music or shows you want."
iPodder's site takes donations but the software comes with an OS license and is based in PYTHON! The donation banner says this:" Donations will be transacted by Sourceforge, which hosts open source projects. Any donation will automatically tip Sourceforge for their service."
I'm still deciding folks...but I'm happy to see that the possibilities for libraries, librarians -- "citizen broadcasters", if you will -- are grounded in Open Source.
I pondered this for two weeks..and decided to give my technology here at the house a whirl to see if I could produce a podcast.
My topics:
Call for speakers for Internet Librarian 2005
A look at the tools/skills of the "Up to Date" librarian and a plea to "sieze the day"
Please let me know what you think. I'm still deciding if I like the format and how it might work in the LISBlogosphere.. Greg and Karen really inspred me.
And it was made entirely on a MAC!

The PowerPoint window provides some shortcuts that ease the process of creating a show. While it's reassuring that you can go to the main menus or toolbars, you'll be glad to know split-second ways to insert a new slide, apply a slide layout, and perform other basic tasks.
In this lesson you'll use shortcut (or "context") menus, task panes, and key combinations to create a small show. If you're in the clicking habit, sometimes the thing to click is nearer than a toolbar button. And sometimes a keyboard shortcut is so much easier, you'll want to get into that habit instead.

I wish I could have been there to see the look on his face when George Zimmerman walked away not guilty. This guy is the most obnoxious professor at UCLA. I can't believe he actually works here..he should go use his JD to work for FEMA or be a public defender or something cuz hes just flat out annoying as fuck. Hated his class, thank god I graduated I'm never going back!
He's very passionate about everything he says. He actually pauses and thinks twice before he says anything to make sure he gets the point across well. Very accessible and extremely friendly, especially if you need someone to talk to regarding any hardships you might be facing
They're a breeze. Gives you the topics beforehand, or it's a take home essay. The TA grades it, so be sure to pay attention to what the TA wants to be discussed in the paper.
I'm a South Campus Major and this is by far the most rewarding class I've had at UCLA. You learn a lot about yourself as well as the people around you that are regularly facing hardships. It's honestly a feel good easy A class and DEFINITELY TAKE IT!
What everyone says is annoying.
This is an easy class, but you learn so much about chicanos, consciousness, your self, your history.
I loved this class.
And he is SO SWEET! :)
Take him, not for the easy A, but for a great experience
took the affirmative action course 150, winter 2013.
Romero is quite the advocate. Sometimes i felt (along with several of my friends who took this course with me) that he pushes his liberal agenda on students. Several instances where he makes you feel bad for being middle class. I remember one lecture during the quarter he was talking about the 11 million illegal latinos there are in america and how they should ALL be given citizenship. I dont know about all that.
Overall his class was really boring. You read court cases off a powerpoint and take two tricky quizzes that ull prob end up getting B's on. The take home final is 60%, and we still havnt recieved our grade for the class (its been 11 days already..)
Romero in my opinion is racist towards white people. I really hated going to class because of this, i really did not enjoy hearing his racist agenda. UCLA shouldnt have professors that make you feel this way.
Okay, so I also took Chicano 10A with Romero and with Pepe (the TA, the previous reviewer also had). I found it incredibly easy and fun, although you do have to work to keep up with the readings and exert effort. I don't really write reviews here but the previous review lambasted Pepe in a manner in which I can't stand to just stay quiet. I was in Pepe's 1A section which was the honors discussion, as well as the honors seminar with both Romero and Pepe helping us for our honors research. I am Asian so whatever the guy's saying about how Pepe doesn't like non-Hispanics is phooey. Here's my experience.
I did all of the stuff on time: homework, extra credit, readings, and never once did I miss class, section, or an honors seminar. I went to Pepe to talk about my midterm, take-home final, and honors research paper to edit my work. He was friendly and helpful, especially in terms of editing. I got a 29/30 for my family history paper, a 59/60 on my final, and an A on my research paper. I didn't really do anything spectacular or great on those - I just followed what he said to the letter and got the job done. For the in-class midterm, I got a 57/60. The great thing about this is I remember how Pepe specifically told us to incorporate the readings even though it was an in-class midterm. In section, we even talked about all the readings we did so that we could remember them. As for Participation, I got a 22/20 since I did the extra credit stuff the prof. assigned. I got an A+ largely in part because of Pepe's help and grading.
Overall, if you do the work and if you come in to class thinking that an A is certainly attainable by exerting effort, you'll enjoy the class and get the grade you want. Its definitely an easy G.E. - an easy A even. BUT if you come into class expecting to miss section, do 70% of the homework, and basically think that you'll get a high grade without all the work, then you're screwed. I took this class for a GE, and I'll take it with Pepe again. Don't believe the guy below me.
Professor seems nice but he doesn't care about your grade at all and he doesn't reply to your email that well; TA grades your work. So you have to meet good TA.
Tip: don't take Jose Aguilar(Pepe)'s section. He grades more harsh, he gives out more homeworks, and he kind of discrimate you if you are not hispanic or white. If you don't trust me, read my case in below.
I joined the class late, so I was little behind. I went to him several times about my grade, and all he said was I'm doing "fine". But on week 8, I found out I've been missing my weekly postings; he never mentioned in class or in times when I came to him. I talked to him and he said he shares responsibility and gave me a week to make up a quarter's worth of homeworks. I had 3 finals in that week, but I submitted 7 out of 10 homeworks. After a quarter, I got 25% for participation, including homeworks. It didn't make sense because I attended all section except first 2 weeks(professor approved and excused me) and submitted 70% of homeworks. I emailed both professor and TA, but the TA said I turned in homework late, didn't participate in section, and was few minutes late in 2-3 sections. He said he gave me 25% doing me a favor. I told him he never told me that I missed homeworks, he rarely gave me chance to talk compared to other hispanic and white students, I was late only because of my previous class. There were guys who were late almost all sections and many other students didn't participate at all in section. I mentioned those guys and questioned his grading standard; he refused to provide explanation about it because according to him, it's against ucla policy. I emailed him and professor 4 times to discuss and arranged appointment; he ignored my words and repeated his saying. He didn't come to meet while I had to wait 20 minutes and leave. I told him that he's been ignoring my words and repeated his saying, and he got raged and emailed me to never contact him ever again.
Okay class.
selling some of his books for 10A

Chicano 10A
An very easy and straightforward class. He would read his lecture off the slide but then he would add some of his personal stories or stories he heard from news into lecture. papers were not that bad as long as u let ur ta proofread ur paper. definitely an easy A
Interesting material, but boring lectures. Seemed like the TAs graded rather hard. Also, the class is heavily-writing based.
Lowest caliber class that I have taken at UCLA. Typical ethnic studies "us vs. them" mentality. All about how the government and white people hate other races and how they are excluded from the pond. If you are white, you are "the other" and you obviously have no difficulty in life. In addition to all th biased material, Romero was late EVERY SINGLE lecture. He would use at least 30 minutes each lecture period to give a presentation on something related to the Chicano Studies major. Since the lectures were so bad, I didn't really care except for the principle of the issue. I can't believe that I paid money for this class. I regretted taking this class every day of this quarter.
I.e. last day of class, Romero said that if you don't support the Dream Act and the "rights" of illegal immigrants, you are "immoral"
Quite easy class. The topics discussed are very interesting, yet he makes them boring and a burden to read about them. The class has a combination of court cases and a book. Only two quizzes and a take-home essay as a final. Just take excellent notes and go to class because he does not upload any lecture notes.
Easiest classes at UCLA. Do not take if you expect to learn anything, but only if you need an easy GPA booster.
I took this class because I thought it would be an easy GE and an interesting introduction to Chicano culture and history. It was definitely easy, but I learned absolutely nothing. He would read lectures directly off of the powerpoints, which looked like they had been copy pasted from the internet, and hardly ever answered questions well. There was quite a bit of reading, not one bit of which was tested on the midterm or the final. The midterm covered only weeks 1 and 2, so going to lecture after that was a complete waste of time. Half of the classes were just watching videos from the 1980s, which was easy but not very educational. In the end this class was an easy A but a complete waste of time. I hardly learned anything and felt like the professor didn't know the material well enough to lecture on it.
Lectures are retarded. Don't bother going to lectures at all. The TA controls 100% of your grade so make sure to get a good TA. All you have to do is readings and maybe watch a few videos the professor shows in class on your own. I had Mares and she was an excellent TA, but supposedly the harshest grader of all the CS10a TAs.
The grade breakdown is 10% participation, 10% quiz 1, 10% quiz 2, 20% midterm, and 50% take home paper final. Each quizzes are 20 MC administered in sections and are different in each discussion section because the TAs make them. Quiz 1 was tough, but the second quiz Mares let us make about 80% of the questions. Like most north campus classes, attendance in discussions are mandatory. If you are looking for easy TA avoid Mares. I took this class for a sure A and ended up getting an A-. Otherwise take this class as a GPA booster or just to learn about Chicano culture and history. But you won't be learning anything from the professor.
One of the most useless and incompetent professors I have ever taken in UCLA, Professor Romero spent almost 2 hours of class time looking at his notes and powerpoint as a way of lecturing about Chicano/Chicana issues. For a guy who lectures about his research, he just seemed like he did not know anything about it! Yes, I found the material to be interesting but having him as the professor for the class just did not match. I appreciated how easy the assignments (expert reading 10%, 5 page paper 30%, 6-8 page paper 60%) were, but I can't believe that in the end he made a mistake in my grade. It has taken me 2-3 weeks to get my grade to change and at least 5 unanswered emails before he actually did something about it. My grade had reflected that, I did not turn in one of the assignments. But low and behold he lost one of my assignments. Now I understand making mistakes, but the slow process just makes me skeptical that he even cared to change it in the first place.
Advice: If you are looking to take an easy A class, this is the class for you. Don't attend lecture, turn in your assignments on time and hope for the best that he does not make a mistake on grading you.
hes a great guy with a great personality. hes fairly young and does not try to know everything. he will straight out tell you he does not know the answer the questions you ask. he is a hard grader. his lectures are boring, but you can tell he really does try to make it interesting and funny. he gives off a very friendly attitude.
Not a very knowledgeable professor. Often doesnt know the answers to questions and asks if anyone else might know. He really needs to get some pointers from other professors on campus, or at least copy their assignments and tests because he cant design an exam to save his life. TOTALLY forgetful and inconsistent. Usually late to class. He seems like a nice person in his lectures, but is very standoffish and distant in person. Only take him if there is a TA in the class, otherwise you'll have a hard time getting any straight answers from him.
Actually the worst professor I have had at UCLA. Did not know a thing about the subject and literally read off of his long winded power points everyday. Any questions asked in class to further the subject or clarify the material, he would respond with "I'm not sure" and promise to look it up. He literally never had an actual answer to the questions. I would not at all recommend taking this professor

Filter put out a video for "Fades Like A Photograph" today. I love music videos more than Beavis & Butt-Head, so I'm really happy that new media has fostered the art of the music video. If MTV's just going to play "True Life" and "Jersey Shore", that's fine with me, my TV just functions as an over-sized laptop monitor. Size matters to me sometimes.
Yeah, go watch that video.

Our Mission
Prospect Mountain, a 501(c)(3) non profit organization, was formed to enhance the lives of persons with physical, intellectual or psychological challenges. We provide Equine Assisted Programs customized to meet the objectives of each individual's needs.
Welcome to Prospect Mountain Therapeutic Riding Center
We are proud to be apart of P.A.T.H. INC ( Professional Assoc. of Therapeutic Horseback riding international) and enjoy serving Kaufman and surrounding counties.
Working within the atmosphere of an old Mining Town, we strive to find "VALUE in ALL ABILITIES".
Therapeutic riding is the core of our program. Certified instructors, with trained volunteers, assist riders to achieve goals, horsemanship skills, and establish a special bond with their horses.
We promote trust, impulse control, self confidence and relationship building through the natural consequences of the horse. The relationship that occurs between a rider and their horse can help overcome a rider's debilitating fears. As a rider learns that they have control of a horse, they can begin to learn that they can take control of themselves.
Riding also feeds the heart. All riders benefit from increased self-esteem, empowerment, and relationships they build with peers, horses, volunteers and staff.

1. eat breakfast in our room most days
2. Bring snacks, eat a small c.s. lunch or just snack
3. We do one t.s. A day. Lunch is usually cheaper than dinner, and if we do a big meal, we go light on the other one.
4. Alcohol in our room to cut down on costs for nightcaps.
5. Driving down instead of flying (with a cooler of sandwiches)
6. Buying tickets through the yes program (individual enrollment). Saved a ton last time!
8. Bring our keurig, and disposable coffee cups. Fill in the room.
how to save money for the trip?
we try to charge a ton before we go (things we would normally do with cash, and only things we can pay off that month) on our Disney card.
something silly, but I make sure I keep frozen pizzas and other "convenience"meals in the freezer. We all have those nights when we want takeout, but having quick stuff in the freezer for those nights helps!

Saving change and rewards programs
Disney VISA, surveys and shopping through rewards sites have made our upcoming trip "almost free", LOL.
Flying Southwest on points.
Using non-expiring park hoppers I got free via Marriott rewards back in 2006.
Using over $800 in Disney VISA dollars to cover meals etc.
$50 in Disney gift cards paid for with survey money (goes to PayPal, I use those funds to buy gift cards at Disney store online).
We save change and singles in a giant plastic crayon bank, so that will cover air fees, cab fare, airport parking, etc.
We got 30% off room only code for Polynesian.
I LOVE hearing about all the creative ways people save for and find discounts for WDW.

I'm not a big fan of austerity moves when I'm on vacation. A vacation for me is a respite from the usually day-to-day worries about spending and saving. So, I focus more on getting the best deal on each part of my vacation before I head out the door. And I save money where I can to make the trip possible.
Some things that worked for me:
And I finally purchased a small DVC contract on the resale market last spring. After looking at our vacationing habits (always staying deluxe, going at least every other year, etc.), it made sense to take the leap. I wouldn't recommend doing it if you have to finance the purchase. Nor would I have bought directly from Disney. It's not for everyone. And for someone who only wants to get to Disney just once, it isn't even a consideration. But it's something that we figure will work for us.
Opinions, suggestions and comments are based on my own experience and should not be regarded as the absolute and only possible outcome of any situation.
Your mileage may (and probably will) vary.

We have done very cheap Disney trips.
SkyAuction.com condo, $149-$249 per week. (I haven't seen the $149 prices in 4 years though!)
Take a backpack cooler into the parks with lunch, snacks and drinks for the day for all 5 of us.
Find coupons for eating out.......99 kids' meals at T-Rex and Rainforest, join Landry's Club for additional discounts.
Go when DH's training is as work covers all gas and some meals (for DH's portion) during the trip.
Get YES tickets
We are leaving Oct. 28 for a 2 week trip. With the costs of the above, our two week trip will cost under $2,000 for tickets, lodging, transportation, food, and it may even be enough to cover dog sitting, it will depend on how much we eat out.

For us, the easiest ways to save on our trips were the obvious ones - we go during free dining or a major sale (we went for 40% off when we went the first time). Of course, this means going during "off season" - Jan/early Feb, and that was fine with us. We took our daughter out of school.
Here's how much we spent:
2010 - 7 days for $3,200 - including Deluxe hotel on site, PH tickets, DDP, airfare, $300 for tips, drinks (alcohol) and souvies
2012 - 11 days for between $3,800 - $4,000 - same as before.
These are the only real "budget-y" things I did for our trip:
brought breakfast foods/snacks. I brought a box or two of pop-tarts. I never allow them at home, so they are a vacation treat in the hotel. I think DD will grow up thinking hotels come with pop-tarts We could have also brought bagels, as our hotel had cream cheese out every morning in the QS dining area with the condiments. We could have also brought bread and made toast, as they also had butter and jelly out.
Shared QS meals. We are not huge eaters, and meals at DW are huge. We usually split 2 QS meals between the three of us. One of us would take DD to find a table and sit and the other would order 2 adult meals and we would share them. There was usually enough that dessert would only get one or two bites to taste, or wrapped up for later. I'm a water drinker, so I'd just throw a slice of lemon in it and I was good with the 2 drinks that came with our meals. This gave us a surplus of QS meals, and in the later days of the vacation, we'd say yes to our urges for "midnight" snacks when we got back from the parks or before going back to our room after the EWP.
did laundry at our hotel halfway through vacation. This saved on luggage, which meant we didn't have to check any bags, which meant we didn't have to PAY to check any bags.
swiped out all our leftover snacks/meals at the end of vacation. We got pkgs of fruit snacks and saltwater taffy to bring back to classmates, teachers, etc. We had like 8 leftover our first trip and 13 on the last day of our last trip. It was crazy how full we were the whole time!!!
As for saving FOR the trip... I dunno. DH handles the finances, and we just decide when we are going to go. We have a bit of disposable income, so I don't worry about it too much - he generally works it into the budget. I will say though, that we live under a rather rigorous budget to begin with (similar to the envelope system) so each cent is well thought out before it gets spent. It's amazing how much we started saving when we stopped spending willy-nilly! All those tiny trips to Target and Starbucks and the boutique toy store really added up to about $200-$400/month of my random spending. Yeah, DD had a few more cute seasonal tops, but really, how many Happy Halloween shirts do you need? (one year, she had over 7 - I was out of control!) But at the time I was buying them, I was thinking "it's only $5!" yeah, but in reality, it ended up being almost $40! See what I mean - it all adds up! Oh, and after Nov 2, Halloween shirts are generally tacky. ugh, I was so dumb and wasteful!
Within my budget ($100/week for groceries, toiletries, and everyday spending like field trips, etc) I try to save each week. It's turned into a little game for me... how little can I spend this week? Each week, I start anew, and when I have about $60-$80, I either don't take the next week's allotment, or I splurge on something for myself or the family. Once, I bought a bunch of new running gear. Another time, I bought the Harry Potter BluRay set of all 8 movies. Another time, I bought Crocs for us all to wear at the pool at WDW.

I use my Disney rewards card for absolutely everything I can and use the rewards dollars to buy PAP's every other year (this year 3 Pap's cost a bit under $300) We will get 2 14 night vacations out of these, and maybe an extra if a school break shores up with a good AP room discount.
I hold out for the least expensive airfare I can find, sometimes breaking the trip up as one way on two different carriers.
If I want a car I do not get it for length of stay, and I do not get it from the airport. I use Magical Express and since I always go to MK first and never drive to MK, I wait and get the car for use at the other parks. Usually i pick it up at the Dolphin on a day I am going to be at Epcot and then walk over after lunch.
I bring a Brita water pitcher and those collapseable water bottles that weigh almost nothing. I fill up in the room.
I do not get a meal plan unless we are going with relatives that want to eat with characters. I would rather just pay for what I want when I want it and so far it has always been less expensive than a meal plan.
We always have breakfast in the room. We are an on the go family and big breakfasts do not work for us, so I bring cereal and disposable bowls and spoons. A half gallon of milk at the resort is about the same as at the grocery store in FL.
Occasionally we split meals but only if practical. I do not want anyone to "have to have" something they do not want to eat just because I want to save a few dollars. The reality is vacations are expensive, food out is expensive but I am not dictating what people can and will eat, I'd rather put off the vacation or work out a way to save a few more dollars. Since I get paid every two weeks, a few times a year there are three pays in a month, I stash that extra pay since my monthly expenses do not require me to use that money for the household.
I watch my spending through the year and prefer to spend my money on great vacations over other venues such as sporting events, arena shows, etc. DIsney is not the only place we travel, but because I always have a few paychecks on the back burner when other opportunities come up I am able to go...last year it was a week in Hawaii at Easter time that I didn't know I would have the opportunity to go until the week before. A few years ago it was Spain in February. I like having the ability to do those kinds of things as a last minute whim rather than say no and wish I could have gone.

One teaspoon of this herb-enhanced salt has 600 milligrams less sodium than a teaspoon of kosher salt. So if you're seasoning a dish serving four with 1 teaspoon of this blend, for example, you shave 150 milligrams of sodium per serving. Vary the rinds and herbs used; try grated orange rind and fresh thyme or grated lime rind and cilantro for other combinations.
Cooking Light AUGUST 2009

Simplified Billing and ECLIPSE
Simplified Billing
Simplified billing is an initiative of the Australian Government Department of Health. The goal of Simplified Billing is to reduce the number of accounts a private patient receives after being in hospital.
By working together, Department of Human Services (Human Services), private health insurers and billing agents (usually a hospital or day surgery centre) are streamlining the way patients pay their bills and claim benefits from Medicare and their private health insurer, leaving them free to concentrate on recuperating.
Electronic Claim Lodgement and Information Processing Service Environment (ECLIPSE) is an extension of Medicare Online claiming. It offers a secure connection between practices, public and private hospitals, billing agents Human Services, health care providers, private health insurers and the Department of Veterans' Affairs (DVA). It includes direct communication for providers with Human Services and private health insurers in the one transaction.
ECLIPSE can be used for both paid and unpaid in-patient medical claims and in-hospital claims - which can be lodged directly to Human Services through practice management software.
Medical and Eligibility User Guide
Refer to the Medical and Eligibility User guide.
- Faster resolution of claims and quicker payment times.
- Less manual intervention - fewer errors, quicker resolutions.
- Clearer error messages with a single point of contact for fixing problems.
- Online patient verification of Medicare enrolment and private health insurer membership.
- No more claims batching.
- One system for all private health insurers.
- No transaction costs for medical claiming.
- All in one area for claiming.
Private health insurers involved
For the individual functionality and contact details of each private health insurer involved in ECLIPSE, please see the Health Fund Functionality and Contact Details [PDF, 311Kb], and Health Fund Functionality and Contact Details documents [RTF, 591Kb].

Billing Agent
Human Services is required under legislation to consider applications for registration as a Simplified Billing agent and is also responsible for auditing them.
A billing agent must be approved by Human Services and can be a corporation, partnership, individual or body.
What is an Approved Billing Agent?
Billing agents act on the patient's behalf to claim Medicare and private health insurance medical benefits. The patient need not be involved unless there is an agreed out-of-pocket expense.
Billing agents are entitled to collect the gap benefit from the private health insurer, on behalf of the provider, when the private health insurer and provider have a gap cover/scheme arrangement.

Vayniacs Crushed as Gary Vee Retires from Wine Videos
Local oenophile, investor and The Daily contributor Gary Vaynerchuk announced today he's retiring after five and a half years of producing "the most! passionate! wine program!" on the internet and the one that launched his career as an author and social media expert.
"It was never in the cards for me to spend my entire career being a 'wine critic,'" he said, marking the title with air quotes. "But wine will always be a massive part of my life … will I come out with a wine brand one day? Maybe." Read More

Is Louisiana Getting Ready to Test Toddlers?

Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
Louisiana, which has become the national laboratory for bringing business-minded accountability to education—an effort that has come to full flower in New Orleans where charter schools educate close to 90 percent of its students—is turning its accountability lens onto publicly funded preschools and the education of its youngest children.
In a move that worries some early childhood experts, Louisiana's new Early Childhood Education Act is set to make major changes in the way publicly funded preschool programs are managed and evaluated. The aim of the law, also known as Act 3, is to improve the quality of early childhood education, which educators agree is key to ensuring later academic success; currently, close to 50 percent of children entering kindergarten in Louisiana are unprepared.
To do so, the Louisiana Department of Education is developing an outcomes-based rating system, including letter grades–much like the grading system it uses for K-12 schools–which will reward high-performing programs and "intervene" in under-performing ones.
While Louisiana's preschool grading system includes the accountability components of the federal government's Race-to-the-Top contest, Louisiana did not apply for the latest round of funding. Part of the reason Act 3 has early childhood experts worried is that it omits what they consider the best elements of RTTT, including requirements related to process improvement and raising the qualifications of early childhood educators. These requirements, the state said, were too onerous.
Indeed, at a time when standards-and-testing regimes are coming to kindergarten classrooms, and even some programs for four year olds, around the country, education experts fear that Louisiana's Act 3 marks an escalation of the trend. They say the law could lead to developmentally inappropriate efforts to teach children below age four how to read, standardized tests for toddlers, as well as a test-prep approach to preschool curriculum.
In Louisiana, which provides one of the nation's lowest levels of support for educating poor and low-income children under age four, education experts also are concerned that the law will undermine an established five-year effort to improve preschool education for low-income children. They say the law, which does not provide additional funding for early childhood education, may raise costs for providers, driving some of them out of business.
"When the governor decided he would focus on early childhood, we were excited," says Melanie Bronfin, Director of The Policy Institute of the Louisiana Partnership for Children and Families, which has made a number of recommendations for implementing Act 3. "But if you look at how the law is written, it's as though they're talking about a ten-year-old child; it doesn't show an understanding of early childhood." (This is, in fact, the first time the LDOE will have jurisdiction over programs for children under the age of 4, although the state says it is seeking input from early childhood experts and "stakeholders.")
Some researchers worry that the accountability measures will judge preschools based only on how well they teach literacy and numeracy. Equally important predictors of academic success are social and behavioral skills, such as following directions, working with others and maintaining the focus needed to follow a task through to completion.
"My fear is they will relegate play to the back burner," says a leading Louisiana education expert. "This would be outrageous in a middle class environment; this is strictly for poor children and families."
One key concern is that Act 3 will undermine the quality improvement program for preschools that was introduced in 2007. The so-called Quality Start process evaluates schools and childcare centers that nurture the state's youngest children, from infants to four-year-olds, based on a fine-grained web of environmental and curricular factors: Does the program provide a rich array of activities, including books, building blocks, and areas for art and dramatic play? Are the toys at a height that children can easily reach? What are the qualifications and experience of the staff? How many children per staff member?

By the way, Gabe, you're not the only one with EXACTLY the same problem recording Top Chef. Each week, it stops about 10 minutes in, and it's almost impossible to watch live, because of the endless loop when you pause. Did you ever find a solution?

Helping to Support Our Community!
I sent the following to a contest in a local magazine to recognize a company that gives back to the community. Liberty Tax epitomizes service and giving back to the community and are deserving of the award:
To Whom it may Concern
Saw the contest in Pompano today magazine and would like to nominate Liberty Tax Service of Pompano Beach. It is ironic that my relationship began with them by winning a free tax prep at an Adopt and Pet event that they donated to the event. They are now my full time tax accountant. MY relationship with Liberty Tax started with a free tax prep I won at a charity event.
For 10+ years- Liberty Tax Service (two locations in Pompano Beach) has been heavily involved in the community supporting events and fundraising efforts through the Pompano Rotary Club, Relay for Life, Horses for Heroes, Unity in the Community, and the Pompano Beach Chamber of Commerce among others. You see them at many city and community events with Statue of Liberty costumed staff handing out Liberty crowns and adding to the fun. They have also sponsored two softball teams. Liberty gives back to the community through marketing programs. Instead of buying advertising from national firms, Liberty spends nearly its entire marketing budget using local individuals for grassroots marketing. Many are people who are unemployed, are not able to work fulltime or just starting their first job. In turn, their paychecks are then spent at other local businesses. So when you see the Statue of Liberty out in front of their office, remember that he or she is out there helping to support our community!

Google Glass Emits More Radiation Than Most Smart Phones
As a body-worn, microwave-emitting device, Google is required by Federal law to test the Specific Absorption Rate of radiation or the SAR for the Glass.
This is a measure of the maximum microwave radiation absorbed by the user averaged over one gram of tissue.
Although Google did not post the SAR information on its web site, the Glass test reports can be found on the FCC's web site.
The official test report indicates that the SAR for the Glass is much higher than the SARs for the iPhone 5, the Samsung Galaxy S5, or most cell phones on the market.
In the U.S. no personal wireless device can have a SAR that exceeds 1.6 W/kg. The SAR for Google Glass is 1.42 W/kg.
When asked for a comment about Google Glass and the possible long-term health effects, Google refused a sit down interview but did say in an email, "We've studied design comfort and safety very closely, and we haven't found cause for concern. It's something we'll continue to watch carefully."
Only time will tell if Glass users develop cancer or cataracts. However, consumers who consider purchasing Glass should be forewarned that research suggests that microwave radiation increases their risk of brain cancer and other head tumors.

Keep things moving with these inventory management tips.
Having an eBay Store can take your sales to the next level, as sellers with an eBay Store can list in all three formats. It is important to maintain a mix of auction-style and Fixed-Price listings in addition to your Store Inventory. Artemisa Saucedo, eBay Stores marketing manager, offers the following tips for managing and promoting your Store Inventory:
- Cross-promote store inventory in auction-style and Fixed-Price listings. Auction-style and Fixed-Price listings receive more exposure on eBay search and browse results, with Store Inventory items appearing at the bottom of the page. "A best practice is to list auction-style and Fixed-Price listings in addition to Store Inventory items," says Saucedo. This helps drive traffic back to your Store via the use of cross promotions on your "View Item" page.
- Check item and category sales patterns. "Use eBay Marketplace Research to see what listing formats are most successful for the items you sell," Saucedo says. The most popular format--either auction-style, Fixed-Price or Store Inventory--is probably your best bet, but a shortage of any one format may signal an opportunity to attract buyers that other sellers are missing. Learn more about eBay Marketplace Research at ebay.com/marketplace_research.
- Attract more buyers with markdown manager. Introduced in late January 2007, Markdown Manager now lets you hold a sale by discounting some or all of your Fixed-Price or Store Inventory items. Learn how to use this tool to attract more buyers at ebay.com/markdownmanager.
- Optimize your listing strategy. Use your Store Traffic Reports to see where your buyers are coming from, advises Saucedo, and consider responding with more listings in the most popular formats. --Marcia Layton Turner
