We stayed at Stratosphere last March and had a really nice room. The buffet was really good, too. We were in one of the newer towers so had a larger room than my daughter and her husband who were in the older part. The beds were comfortable, bathroom clean. We had no problem with it except that it was far from the center of the Strip.

The Venetian is heart-stopping! The rooms are the absolute best on the strip. Call and ask to speak to a manager and ask for their best rates. My next choice would be Paris followed by Bellagio. I haven't seen the Wynn but I'm sure it will blow me away.

Bally's - stayed here on my first trip to Vegas a couple of years ago. Got a great rate and liked the center strip location. The room was huge but nothing special, standard bathroom. Felt like any decent Holiday Inn type room. The casino is fairly small here, and with the low ceilings it was terribly smoky at all times. Didn't try the restaurants, but did go over to Paris for the breakfast buffet. Yum! I liked how it was connected to Paris and we went over to the Paris casino to gamble. The location can't be beat, and if the price was right (cheap) I'd stay there again.
Alladin - stayed here a year ago. They had announced the changeover to Planet Hollywood but hadn't started any major changes. We had a standard room and it was pretty crowded. Not much empty floor space. Bathroom was huge, had a deep soaking tub and large walk in shower. Pro's include the Desert Passage way shops and restaurants. Casino was nice, not smoky and had several of my favorite video poker games. Con's - just a bit too far down from the center strip for me, and the walk down to MGM area was nasty with all the construction going on (and gale force winds whipping the dirt around).
Caesar's - DH had a conference here last summer and I joined him for a few days. Caesar's felt stuffy to me, I was surprised. The room was very nice, loved the big tub in the bathroom. Pro's include the attached forum shops and great strip location. We ended up going across the street to Harrah's/Flamingo to gamble. Con's - really pricey, DH's company picked up the tab because of the conference. If I'm paying these prices out of pocket I'll go to the Bellagio or Venetian.
MGM Grand - we moved here for our last night after DH's conference ended. We had tickets to KA and decided to stay here for convenience. I had been in the casino briefly on previous trips, and wasn't all that jazzed about the place. Staying here was a different story, loved it! The room is a standard hotel room/bathroom. Lots of great food options at different price points. Would definitely stay again!
DH had a conference at the Mandalay Bay and wants to stay there again sometime. I'd consider it and just figure on cabbing to the Venetian end of the strip.

Bally's ~ decent, typical hotel rooms, good service, a little smaller (and more manageable) than the large hotels on the strip, great location (across from Bellagio! and mid-strip), large (unthemed) pool
Imperial Palace ~ just got back, standard motely rooms, good housekeeping service (very prompt to deliver extra towels), far too few elevators and very confusing floor plan, while its acceptable it's deffinately not upscale, good location though.
Palace Station ~ about a mile off the strip, very affordable (we got this for less than half the price of the cheapest hotel on the strip), clean rooms, good service, we were in a side building and the main tower would have been nicer, train theming is nice, good hotel for the price (but keep in mind, you have to drive to the strip)
Hotels I want to stay at...
1. Bellagio (the fountains are amazing, inside is gorgeous, O, non-smokey smelling, very refined, etc.)
2. Paris (I like the feel of this place, and the piano bar is amazing!)
3. Wynn (I've never been inside, but I've heard great things)
4. The Venetian (love the Canals)
5. Hard Rock Hotel (off the strip, but it looks fun, plus they have a restaurant with amazing specials)

We have stayed at Caesars, Mandalay Bay, the Four Seasons, Harrahs, and the venetian. My favorite is Mandalay Bay because it smells so good in their casino and of course the pool. By far the worst has been Harrahs. I'm sure some like it for one reason or another, but we found the rooms to be tight and our view was horrible. Also the casino is very smokey and the ceilings are so low. I realize that the price can be cheaper then the rest, but if you search around you can find a good deal. I would NEVER stay at Harrahs again and I hate to say that because I love their casino in New Orleans.

We stayed at the Orleans Dec 2006.We got a rate on expedia for $25 -$28 with tax.Wasn't sure what to expect but was very impressed.We stayed there on are way home from DL.After staying at the smallest room at the Park Vue it felt like we were staying in a palace.
We are staying at the Imperial Palace Easter weekend.I got Josh Groban concert tickets for April 7th for Christmas(my husband loves me because he does't love him)That weekend is SO expensive everywhere.Any other ideas or deals out there?Want to be close to MGM where thre concert is.
I was born and raised there so it is hard to get excited to visit there.Oh well,Josh is so worth it.

We stayed at Circus Circus in November 06 and we loved it. Great price, rooms were ok and the staff were friendly. We only had a hot dog at the bar and a Krispy Kreme but plan to try more this sept/oct when we return. I would rather spend the money I save elsewhere in Vegas as we only sleep and shower in our room!

Went to Vegas and splurged for the Bellagio with the lake view. I felt it was worth every penny. Other splurges there were Couples Massage for the hubby and I, you could actually spend all day in the spa with a treatment. And trust me you could spend all day in the spa there. Dinner at the Prime Steakhouse. I had a shrimp cocktail that was a meal in itself! YUMMY YUMMY! We didn't do any buffets because they are dangerous to me, I didn't want to hve to buy new clothes there. LOL

Just came back from a 3 night stay there. I wouldn't recommend it, nor will we be staying there again. We've stayed there before - years ago - and I was hesitant after reading mixed reviews of the place. The place was smoky, loud, worn, dated, dirty (hallways and elevators), rooms and hallways were poorly lit, the beds were horrendous, and the food was bland - cheap, tasteless buffet food - there was no quality to it. I will say that I felt that housekeeping did a great job of keeping the rooms clean and tidy. I also felt that the clientel that stayed there were a bit on the rough and seedy side. We won't be staying there again - Mandalay Bay, Paris, etc. are more our style.
We did everything we could to avoid the place and spent over 90% of our time at other casinos. I'm sorry we picked this place.
Sorry if this sounds harsh to any Excalibur fans, but really, there is so much better out there for just a bit more money.
Just adding two more hotel reviews...
Hilton Grand Vacation Club-Flamingo - My husband and I decided to try and save money by staying at my parents timeshare. It's located behind the Flamingo and it used to be called the Carriage House. Let it be known, I would rather stay in a hotel than in a timeshare. We had a one bedroom suite with a jacuzzi tub. Having all of the space was nice but the room was older and definitely needed updating.
THEhotel at Mandalay Bay - We stayed here for two nights in celebration of my 30th birthday. We booked a VSuite which is a one bedroom suite. The room was fabulous! It was easily one of the nicest rooms I have ever stayed in, not as nice as the Wynn but better than the Bellagio. We had a 42" plasma TV in the living along with a 1/2 bath and a wet bar. The bedroom had a decent sized TV, an iHome for the alarm clock (great for charging our phones and iPod since we didn't bring a charger) and two queen beds. It also had slippers, bathrobes and two closets. The bathroom had a water closet, twin vanities, soaking tub, shower and a smaller flat screen TV. The ONLY thing I didn't like about the hotel was the location (which I mentioned in my previous post). It's too far away from everywhere we like to go.

Just returned from the Flamingo. We had a deluxe room that was not renovated. The 'Go' rooms are the newly renovated rooms.
Was on the 12th floor, had a view of Ballys, Caesers, Bellagio. Could see the fountains partially. but went up to the 28th floor and had a wonderful view of the fountains.
I liked the floor to ceiling windows, could lay in bed and see outside.
As it is a older resort it has larger rooms. Lots of space to spread out.
I feel the Flamingo is located in the older part of the strip.
The 'Tropical Breeze Cafe' has good food, large portions.
Ate at the buffet once, it is a standard buffet.
Casino is very smokey.
Took the monorail and visited the Hilton, Balleys, Imperial Palace (its a dump),
MGM looks nice,
We had a show at Mandalay Bay. You can take the monorail to the MGM. Walk across the pedestrian walk to the Excaliber and take a free tram (monorail) to the Mandalay Bay.
I really liked this end of the strip, NYNY, MGM, Tropicana, Mandalay Bay.
Never been to Las Vegas before, looking at maps, things look spead out. Really, we found it very easy to get to all the shows at various hotels.
The over the highway walkways are great!

We were thinking of staying at the Strato. Its cheep and Id rather shop than spend money on a room.
We will be off to Disney after Vegas.
Do they have trollys to take you to the other side of the strip?

October last year (2007) we stayed at the Sahara and we loved it. The rooms we clean and the decor is ok. An ok view of the strip, as good as you can get from that location!
The casino is small and has a friendly feeling and every staff member we came across were friendly. The Buffet was ok, not gourmet but the choices were fine and plentiful. The players club was great, and the money back and comps in money to spend throughout the hotel was a bonus as we are not betting huge amounts!
The monorail is great as its location in the sahara itself is quite central, not like walking miles in MGM!
I will look forward to staying there this year if the rate is right! As I mentioned before I prefer to spend my money on other things, but of course if I got a real good rate for Bellagio I would go for it!!

We came across Scott Harden's brief article describing how to control an HD44780 LCD using an Attiny2313. After a number of unsuccessful attempts with other code he found this LCD library written by Martin Thomas for use with AVR-GCC. With a few mods to the code Scott produced the above results controlling his 2×20 LCD in 4-bit mode. The code provides for scrolling and wrapping and can even display Japanese characters. A handy tip for ATTiny2313 users.

LG Display has announced a 5-inch, full HD LCD panel for smartphones – the highest resolution mobile panel to date, giving a clear indication that the 720p display on your current top-end smartphone won't reign supreme for long. This new, 5-inch Full HD LCD panel is a step forward from the existing mobile display technology and is based on AH-IPS (Advanced High Performance In-Plane Switching) technology. It features a 440ppi and 1920×1080 resolution, providing, for the first time, Full HDTV quality on a smartphone. We had first carried a story about AH-IPS displays, way back in May 2011 and LG had announced then that they were indeed developing AH-IPS panels for smartphones. Here's how AH-IPS improves on the existing technology.

I was digging around trying to find some information on an obscure LCD module, and came across this interesting table (compiled partially in Russian) that correlates a lot of older mobile phones with their specific LCDs, LCD controllers, dimensions, serial bus, etc. If you're looking for cheap LCDs of a specific physical size or resolution, this might be a good starting point since there may still be spare parts floating around out there. If nothing else, it's just an interesting read looking at how much time and effort went into this thing (presumably a repair shop owner, or something similar).

uLCD-14 replaces the previous model uLCD-144. The new type remains a full software compatibility, that's why if you already have an application designed for uLCD-144, you can use them without any modification.
The only main change is the connector, instead of the original 1×9 THT pin header a new 2×5 SMD pin header is used with an added +5V output through a protection schottky diode. The new uLCD-14 module, also marked as uLCD-144-G2, features the same excellent properties like other members of uLCD family.
Properties of the module are mainly determined by the used Goldelox chip, able to work in a slave, as well as stand-alone mode. It is also possible to use the 4D-Visi graphic development environment, considerably simplifying and accelerating a development of graphic applications. A detailed description of features common to all 4D Systems modules you can find in our article. Detailed information will provide you the uLCD-144-G2 datasheet.

New intelligent display eDIPTFT70 from Electronic Assembly provides all what its smaller relatives and something in addition – the size.
With the 7" size and an 800 x 480 pixels resolution, it can display a relatively considerable amount of information. Similarly like other member of family eDIP (eDIPTFT32 a eDIPTFT43), even eDIPTFT70 eliminates the need of demanding and time-consuming programming at pixels level.
All the control of the display is done on commands level, thus to display text, graphics and many other symbols is exceptionally easy and simple. Control by commands substantially accelerates development and shortens the time to market. At an application development it is possible to use predefined functions, symbols and geometric functions, bargraphs, frames, buttons and many other. In general eDIPTFT70 offers almost the same functions like other eDIPTFT family members, including almost immediate start within a few 1/10 of second.
Single +5V supply, analogue touch panel with a variable raster and software-dimmable backlight brightness contribute to the versatility of usage. In many of applications also 80 various short jingles for audio feedback can be useful. Even eDIPTFT70 contains 3 communication interfaces – RS232, I2C and SPI, that´s why it can be connected to virtually any device. Further information will provide you the eDIPTFT70 datasheet.

Replacing the well known dot matrix type HD44780 based LCD displays with mobile phone graphical screens has a lot of benefit.
- The ability of showing more complex graphical information instead of plain text
- Mostly the smaller displays are using some sort of serial interface, which makes interfacing much easier.
- We can choose colour displays if we like
- They are extremely cheap, or even for free
I made these drivers for LCDHype, but they can be easily ported to anything else.

New display embedded modules BEGV64x from company Bolymin enable to add to your application a graphic output with and a control unit together with a communication interface – all integrated into a single module.
Based on the ATMega644P AVR processor, provide BEGV643 and BEGV641 a relatively high performance at a low power consumption. Used AVR processor provides a higher power than necessary to control the display and module peripherials, that´s why you have a considerable amount of CPU power/ system resources freely available according to your application demands.
Modules contain 1x RS232, one isolated RS485/422/232 port and a high speed SPI/I2C interface. In comparison to development from single components, when using these modules, it is eliminated the need for design of schematics and PCB of a control unit, display unit and a communication interface, power supply part as well as a necessary software. With a built-in in-system programmable 64kB Flash and 4kB SRAM, they provide a decent memory space even for relatively large applications. Another memory space is provided by external 2x 64 kB I2C CMOS EEPROM. Monochrome STN LCD displays with a white backlight provide a very good legibility. BEGV643 has the 320×240 px display resolution and BEGV641 has 240×128 px.
Modules are available in few versions of communication interfaces, detailed information will provide you BEGV643 / BEGV641 flyers and BEGV643 a BEGV641 user manuals. On the page 61/62 of user manuals you can also find links to download software utilities for display and communication interfaces. For a development support there is also available the BEGV643AMGI board with ISP and RS232 connectors.

Abdullah explored the idea of driving two character LCDs in parallel. When he couldn't find any information about this online, he decided to try it out himself. [via]
Then I thought about it and I gave it a go. The result is positive! However, there is a gotcha; if you are using LCDs from different manufacturers or different types, the contrast setting might differ, as it did in my example. In order to overcome this, I would suggest putting two potentiometers in your board to adjust the contrasts individually. And don't forget, you are using one more LCD, meaning more back light current. If you are using a 7805 without a heat-sink, you should re-calculate your thermal values.

Using the PIC18F2550 GLCD Text Test as a basis for further experimentation, I put together a simple and accurate graphical oscilloscope using a PIC18F2550 microcontroller and a AGM1264F graphical LCD. The oscilloscope measures the average voltage, the maximum voltage, the minimum voltage, the peak-to-peak voltage, and the zero-crossing frequency for a DC signal over 100 samples. The oscilloscope has a built in edge trigger function that can be set to capture on rise or fall (or disabled altogether). The time scale for the display is variable and can be easily redefined using the changeTimeDivision function. Likewise, the voltage range can be change to 0-5V, 0-2.5V, and 0-1.25V. The main limitations of this oscilloscope include relatively slow acquisition time and sampling rate (~60kHz) and the fact that the inputs are limited by the constraints of the internal ADC. However, it is a very nice display and I highly suggest you view the videos to see it in action.

Cyborg Auto-Profiler 3.2.2
Control the behavior of the mouse
In the case of Saitek/Cyborg devices there is Cyborg Auto-Profiler, a tool that can store preset configurations and activate them on the fly when a specific program is running.
Installing the application on the system does not entail particular effort from the user since the procedure can be completed by simply following the instructions on the screen.
In the main application window the user can check the current status of the tool. The presence of a supported device is also displayed.
Set up the triggers, configure the actions
As soon as a profile file has been added the user can proceed with the customization operation and define the triggering process.
There are multiple ways to define the process. One method is to choose from a list of running processes; another allows browsing for an executable file.
The program can also detect the process automatically based on a selection tool that can be dragged over any application window on the screen.
As far as the settings are concerned, Cyborg Auto-Profiler provides the possibility to change the mouse speed or to run a script (VBS) automatically.
Overall configuration of the application includes options regarding the detection type of the trigger (active window, process) and the verification frequency. Also, switching to a different profile can be marked in the system tray.
Efficient profile manager for Cyborg devices
Cyborg Auto-Profiler is not as straightforward as most users would like it to be but it manages to cover a need particular to most gamers. However, if set up properly, it can switch to a different profile automatically, according to the user-defined trigger.

Compensation is competitive, although advancement seems to be tied to a fairly rigid federal grade system that restricts ability to reward shining stars or remove deadwood.
Currently, research scientists are rewarded for emulating academic scientists. Support staff are rewarded for supporting the projects of the research staff. Nobody is rewarded for furthering the CMGP's unique mission. Obviously, this must change.
The survey still does not have a reward system that encourages scientists to support USGS goals. The research staff is mainly rewarded for individual products (i.e., scientific papers).
This issue has been addressed in the last two years, but there has been little evidence that any of the recommendations have been implemented.
Current evaluations tend to be meaningless, as there is currently just a pass-fail rating. All employees can work at the pass level, leaving little incentive to outperform. Rewards are virtually nonexistent except for a select few. Positions are described as non-promotable, removing incentive by employees to excel.
Good overall but variable. Opportunities exist to advance professional reputation, but not all scientists take advantage of them.
Encourage journal articles, talks at other agencies, and high-quality scientific work. Publicize our large projects in EOS or in other scientific newspapers.
Not considered important to CMGP management, although it should be, unless the recognition is from a full-paying client.
Given the way things are going toward customer-driven research, there will be a diminishing of recognition outside the USGS. Workers will be recognized by customers, but that recognition may be short lived if the prices are too high.
In the fields with which I am most familiar, the staff reputation was unquestioned; with the losses during the reduction in force and with the continuing attrition since then, however, it is becoming a problem.
Recognition of CMGP staff by outside agencies and academia has noticeably declined since the reduction in force.
Quality and quantity of CMGP data have suffered in the last four or five years. Perhaps this current review will allow for an improved work atmosphere, an increase in productivity, and a resulting improvement in professional recognition.

Posts Tagged 'interiors'
Every decade seems to have had a defining interior aesthetic, with the exception of the 1990s, which seemed to be the most bland and boring era of them all. The 2000s are too eclectic to really be able to pinpoint anything definitively exclusive.
Mostly what's been catching my eye and appealing to me personally lately have been interiors photos from the 1970s, and I'm not talking about avocado green, ugly wood paneling, and burnt orange shag carpet. I'm more about the 70s interiors that mixed a bit of mid-century, with the crafts revivalist movement, and a splash of futurism. They certainly weren't shy about using colour and graphic elements, and I like how popular houseplants were too. Our place is full of them, much to Brannan's chagrin!
There are some nice photos reflecting this aesthetic on a flickr group I recently discovered. All of the images except for the second one (found on pinterest via tumblr, and I'm not sure if it's really from the 70s, but the look is very much reminiscent) are from this group. Click over to see more

|New King James Version (NKJV)
|New International Version (NIV)
|1 Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of the Lord by the mouth of Jeremiah might be fulfilled, the Lord stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, so that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and also put it in writing, saying,
|1 In the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, in order to fulfill the word of the LORD spoken by Jeremiah, the LORD moved the heart of Cyrus king of Persia to make a proclamation throughout his realm and to put it in writing:
|2 Thus says Cyrus king of Persia: All the kingdoms of the earth the Lord God of heaven has given me. And He has commanded me to build Him a house at Jerusalem which is in Judah.
|2 "This is what Cyrus king of Persia says: " 'The LORD, the God of heaven, has given me all the kingdoms of the earth and he has appointed me to build a temple for him at Jerusalem in Judah.
|3 Who is among you of all His people? May his God be with him, and let him go up to Jerusalem which is in Judah, and build the house of the Lord God of Israel (He is God), which is in Jerusalem.
|3 Anyone of his people among you--may his God be with him, and let him go up to Jerusalem in Judah and build the temple of the LORD, the God of Israel, the God who is in Jerusalem.
|4 And whoever is left in any place where he dwells, let the men of his place help him with silver and gold, with goods and livestock, besides the freewill offerings for the house of God which is in Jerusalem.
|4 And the people of any place where survivors may now be living are to provide him with silver and gold, with goods and livestock, and with freewill offerings for the temple of God in Jerusalem.' "
|5 Then the heads of the fathers' houses of Judah and Benjamin, and the priests and the Levites, with all whose spirits God had moved, arose to go up and build the house of the Lord which is in Jerusalem.
|5 Then the family heads of Judah and Benjamin, and the priests and Levites--everyone whose heart God had moved--prepared to go up and build the house of the LORD in Jerusalem.
|6 And all those who were around them encouraged them with articles of silver and gold, with goods and livestock, and with precious things, besides all that was willingly offered.
|6 All their neighbors assisted them with articles of silver and gold, with goods and livestock, and with valuable gifts, in addition to all the freewill offerings.
|7 King Cyrus also brought out the articles of the house of the Lord, which Nebuchadnezzar had taken from Jerusalem and put in the temple of his gods;
|7 Moreover, King Cyrus brought out the articles belonging to the temple of the LORD, which Nebuchadnezzar had carried away from Jerusalem and had placed in the temple of his god.
|8 and Cyrus king of Persia brought them out by the hand of Mithredath the treasurer, and counted them out to Sheshbazzar the prince of Judah.
|8 Cyrus king of Persia had them brought by Mithredath the treasurer, who counted them out to Sheshbazzar the prince of Judah.
|9 This is the number of them: thirty gold platters, one thousand silver platters, twenty-nine knives,
|9 This was the inventory: gold dishes, 30 silver dishes, 1,000 silver pans, 29
|10 thirty gold basins, four hundred and ten silver basins of a similar kind, and one thousand other articles.
|10 gold bowls, 30 matching silver bowls, 410 other articles, 1,000
|11 All the articles of gold and silver were five thousand four hundred. All these Sheshbazzar took with the captives who were brought from Babylon to Jerusalem.
|11 In all, there were 5,400 articles of gold and of silver. Sheshbazzar brought all these along when the exiles came up from Babylon to Jerusalem.

rhythm and blues (R&B)
rhythm and blues (R&B)
Any of several closely related musical styles developed by African American artists. The various styles were based on a mingling of European influences with jazz rhythms and tonal inflections, particularly syncopation and the flatted blues chords. They grew out of the blues of the rural South, which blended work chants with songs of deep emotion, and were greatly influenced by gospel music. Three major forms were distinguishable. The earliest, called race, was the style of the jump band, which emphasized strong rhythm, solo work (especially by saxophones), and vocals in a shout-blues manner. A second form, often called Chicago blues, was exemplified by performers such as Muddy Waters and was typically played by a small group with amplified instruments. The third major form was primarily vocal, featuring close, gospel-influenced harmonies often backed by an orchestra. In the mid-1950s the term rhythm and blues was adopted by the music industry for music intended for the African American audience; with the gradual disappearance of racial barriers, the Chicago blues style began to seem less a vital form than a folk tradition, while the gospel style was transformed into the soul music of vast appeal. Rhythm and blues was the chief antecedent of rock music.

CPTV to Air Documentary on ProgramThat Connects Class Work to Career Success
Release Date: 09/25/2012
CPTV to Air Documentary on Program
That Connects Class Work to Career Success
"Media Is Magic 2012" Premiers Friday, Sept. 28
Featuring 7th Graders from SAND School in Hartford
Media Is Magic, a media-enrichment collaboration between America's Choice at SAND Elementary School, Hartford Public Schools and Connecticut Public Television that has helped children develop the academic, technical and life skill needed for success, will the subject of an original documentary that will premier on Friday, Sept. 28, 2012, at 8:30 p.m. on CPTV.
The show, Media Is Magic 2012: See Learning Through a Whole New Lens, will be rebroadcast on Sunday, Sept. 30, at 10:30 p.m. This half-hour special – produced and edited by Media Lab graduate and lead instructor Julia Kwon – follows the students' progress and personal growth in the program over the past year.
The Media Is Magic (MIM)program focuses on increasing student engagement and academic achievement in middle school, which research has identified as a critical intervention point to keep students on the path toward high school graduation. Through project-based learning and mentoring from industry professionals and college interns, MIM helps students connect their studies to real life and equips them with academic and workforce skills to position them for future success. Karina Baez, an eighth grade student, attributed improved math grades to the program, "I went from a 'C' to a 'B.'"
This premiere evidences the effective partnership which embeds literacy and life skills development into an elective class. This innovative concept uses journalism and technical media skills to improve student research, storytelling and presentation skills as well as reinforcing the curriculum being learned in core classes. "We were fortunate to have a core of returning students to serve as peer leaders to the seventh graders," Paul Pfeffer, CPBN's manager of education services noted, "along with the enthusiastic support of SAND social studies teacher, Mr. Marcus Jennings, these eighth graders proved that substantive academic and personal development gains derive from deepened engagement." Another student in the program, Jose Melendez, reflected that, "In this program I found myself."
The students in the SAND Media Enrichment Program learn to work with media production equipment, including HD video and still cameras; tripods; professional microphones, cables and microphone stands; and interview lighting kits. Video editing software is installed in all the computers in the classrooms. Training on the use of the equipment, which includes proper set-up, break down and storage, is provided, along with learning to recognize and critically evaluate the elements of a professional video production.
Donna Sodipo, director of education services at the Connecticut Public Broadcasting Network (CPBN), commented on the program. "This partnership affords students early exposure to the digital media industry and more importantly the academic skill set required for success. Throughout this elective class, intentional linkages are made to the Journalism and Media Academy and our partnership alignment with the district—serving as the satellite campus for the senior class completing their capstone project at the Learning Lab at CPBN."
The Media Lab, part of CPBN's Department of Education Services, develops production and instructional expertise by providing a learning opportunity for college students and recent graduates with an interest in digital media and journalism. Media Lab interns serve as additional mentors and technical experts.

The Languedoc-Roussillon region
This is a beautiful region of France where vineyards and sunflowers abound. Wine tasting is everywhere including in the village itself.
The Pyrenees are visible from many places locally and easily reached.
The location is wonderful too for visiting the many Cathar castles and of course the fairytale ancient cité of old Carcassonne is a must for young and old alike.
The "rose" city of Toulouse makes a great day out and of course the Mediterranean beaches are little over an hour away and only 2 hours to the borders with Spain.
La Courtete
The gite is located on a domain situated approximately 25km from Limoux a popular market town and 30km from the medieval walled city of Carcassonne.
The castle at Carcassonne is a hit with the young and old alike, steeped in history and with a little imagination one can step back in time (especially if one reads "Labyrinth" by Kate Mosse).
Limoux is renowned for its sparkling wine Blanquette de Limoux said to pre-date champagne. It has to be tried and where better than at the Thursday night summer market held every week in July and August. Market day is every Friday in Limoux. The main market in Carcassonne is on Saturday with smaller markets on a Thursday.
The not to be missed atmospheric market in Mirepoix is every Monday morning where bussling shoppers bargain amongst the beautiful architecture of the town.

19. Anything Kardashian.
One of the problems associated with the rise of Facebook is that we're not conditioned to have that many lifelong relationships.
8. Don't even try to lie about it. For a period of time (no matter how brief it was), you popped your collar. In earnest.
As I sat there a c*nt-hair away from the onset of irreversible misogyny, I found my precious little Shy Girl.
Let's be nostalgic today!
4. Being removed from a so-called friend's Top 8 on Myspace.
We can customize our page with various backgrounds, pictures, and even songs. On multiple dimensions, we're able to share ourselves with our peers.
By the time we were in high school, the Internet wasn't new anymore. However, it was still growing extremely fast and our parents had absolutely no idea how to handle it.
I don't regret filling in the blanks of my life with what unfolded on the internet. I actually regret not doing it more often.
3. What 9/11 is.

Which type of external hard drive works with ps3?
12-10-2009 #2fleinnGuest
It supports fat32. Like windows, it should support any drive size up to some 1Tb and some way past that. File sizes are limited to 4Gb, though. And you have to use a 3rd party partition utility to actually format it if a partition is sized over.. what was it 500Gb or something like that?.. But generally, any external drive you would buy is formatted in fat32, and it should just work. NTFS isn't supported, same with any ext-variants.

I think there's a way to convert NTFS external drives to FAT32, which is what the PS3 supports. I did it on my external drive, but I don't remember how i did it.

just about any external hdd will work the PS3 can format it, if you get a 2.5 you should be able to just switch them out if you want

yea you can get any external hard drive ... but you will need to format it for FAT32 ... however you can't do it using the usual methods as windows will only go up to 32GB i think ... i used the following tool to convert my 250GB HD and it worked like a dream ...

Any USB based external HDD will work (i.e. don't get one that's made for firewire/ieee1394, network drive or eSata - these are less common but they exist.) It does need to be formatted as FAT32, but it doesn't matter what it's currently formatted as since you can reformat the drive later.
