Mosquito Netting & Screen Patio Benefits
Any area around your house with a covered roof can be converted into valuable outdoor living space with a mosquito netting curtain. A screen patio does much more than just add value to your home. Use your mosquito netting curtain to add living space, enclose a gazebo, deck, or patio. A screen patio is a versatile addition to any home, especially if you can remove it during the cooler months. With a screen patio you are able to enjoy the beauty of nature without the burden of outdoor discomforts.
With a mosquito netting curtain, you can enjoy a warm summer day without the constant bother of bugs. A vibrant and alluring addition to any home, a screen patio does more than provide protection from the relentless pestering of hungry bugs. Mosquito netting curtains will differentiate your home from those with a permanent screen patio and create an eye catching improvement to your home. Protect your family from mosquitoes, black flies, no-see-ums, yellow flies, bees, and other flying insects with attractive mosquito netting curtains for a patio screen room enclosure you can be proud of.
We offer custom-made mosquito netting curtains as a removable alternative to permanent screening. Elegant yet inexpensive, mosquito netting curtains are for the "patio too beautiful to screen" and, for the homeowner who wants quality AND savings with delivery in 3-6 business days. Mosquito netting curtains self-install in about 1-4 hrs with few household tools and novice skills. We also offer Raw Mosquito Netting Fabric and no-see-um netting for other DIY projects.

The exhibition provides disparate examples of Man Ray's various experiments with photography. The "rayograph," made without a camera by placing objects on sensitized paper and turning on the light in the dark room to create an x-raylike image, was Man Ray's most celebrated invention. The form is represented here by only one piece, a 1966 silver print of various objects, including Le Cadeau, with the iron laid on its side. But the lack of rayographs is compensated for by the inclusion of Man Ray's lesser-known negative prints of flowers, which have a somber beauty of the kind later seen in Robert Mapplethorpe's floral still lifes. Highlights of the exhibition are Man Ray's abstract photographs of "mathematical" objects -- geometric models constructed by mathematicians at Paris's Institut Poincare to illustrate algebraic equations. Another technique that Man Ray made frequent use of was the solarized print, and the Norton show includes portraits whose subjects exude a glow, as well as landscapes with a shimmering, moonlit quality.
A 1976 replica of Man Ray's best-known work, Object to Be Destroyed, stands alone on a pedestal. A metronome with a photo of an eye -- Lee Miller's -- fastened to its wand, it was made originally in 1923 and re-created by the artist numerous times: retitled Object of Destruction in 1932, Lost Object in 1945, Indestructible Object in 1958, et cetera. It is a complex work, with sadistic and anarchic readings; the image of the eye, destined to wag back and forth, forever watchful, recalls the image on the back of the one-dollar bill. As the piece itself implies, it is timeless, an enduring comment on the politics of authority.
The rest of the works on display are of a more mundane nature. These are small poetic objects or sculptural editions, private rather than museum pieces, some of which were used to decorate the artist's studio. There are two chess sets, one of sculpted wood, the other of a more spectacular brushed aluminum in electric-red and silver; a chrome phallus and two balls on a black base, used as a paperweight (the artist's proof of an edition of eight); Square Dumb Bells in a black velvet box (1944); and a Plexiglas cylinder filled with ball bearings titled New York (1920/1970s). The eye, one of Man Ray's trademark symbols, is repeated on a handsome eye-shaped box, and again on a small enamel piece.
The exhibition also includes portraits of celebrities Man Ray photographed in Hollywood, where he moved at the outset of World War II. Among them are images of Ava Gardner and Catherine Deneuve, the latter adorned with a pair of the artist's earrings. These commercial portraits are the least interesting pictures in the show. More intriguing are a number of posed photos of Juliet, with whom Man Ray lived out his last years in Paris, the city where he always felt most at home.
"Everything is art," Man Ray once said. "I don't discuss those things any more. All this antiart business is nonsense, they're all doing it. If we must have of a word for it, let's call it art."
Despite the numerous works on display in "Man Ray's Man Rays," it feels like a small exhibition. Rather than a retrospective of the work of an important artist, this private collection provides the viewer with a portrait of a man whose life, for want of a better word, was art.

Teaching Financial Literacy To Tweens: Saving For Short And Long-Term Goals
Sometimes we have to delay spending to save for larger purchases. This can be difficult for some younger kids who might be anxious to buy something now. Saving for short-term and long-term spending goals is an important money management skill and an excellent way for tweens to decide what purchases are really important to them.
While saving for short-term goals, such as a new CD, may take only a couple weeks, longer-term goals require dedication: it could take months or years of saving to have enough money for the purchase. You can help your child create a budget for the purchase and figure out:
- How much they have saved already
- How much the item will cost (including tax and shipping)
- How much money they expect to earn each week
- How long it will take to save
Assume, for example, that your child wants to buy a new mountain bike so he or she can have fun riding with friends while being physically active. The bike costs $800, and he or she has $200 saved so far, and will need to save an additional $600 before purchasing the bike. Help your child create a budget that shows his or her starting balance ($200), expected income (in this example, from dog walking, pet sitting, yard work and two gifts), weekly totals and a running balance. You can use a spreadsheet program (see below) or pencil and paper. As the figure below shows, your child will have enough money to buy the bike after 17 weeks of earning money and saving.
Point out that in order for this particular budget to work, your child will have to avoid all other purchases during this 17-week time period; otherwise, it will take longer to save for the bike (which is okay … he or she just has to plan for it). If your child cannot get by without some spending money each week, make sure you build it into the budget. If you want to help him or her buy the bike, discuss what your contribution will be ahead of time so it can be worked into the budget. The important thing here is to make the budget and stick with it - it will be a valuable experience if your child can save for the entire 17 weeks without you "bailing" him or her out at week 10 and saying you'll pay for the rest. It's okay if you do contribute - just set it up ahead of time - by giving your child a certain amount of money, matching his or her savings by a specified percentage, or by offering to pay for extra jobs around the house (all of which should be built into the budget).

I'm thinking seriously about getting into IDPA shooting. My EDC is a Glock 26 with CT Laser, and I normally carry IWB @ 6 o'clock. Now I understand that type of holster isn't allowed and I have ordered a Bladetech holster for matches.
Now my questions are, have any of you IDPA guys used a Glock 26 in matches? Does anyone have pro's / con's, or other thoughts about this? I'll have a total of 5 magazines available, and a double mag holder that is approved.
How many of you guys shoot IDPA and what do you use?

The Ford Figo does look compact, but there is ample of space on the inside. The brownies and the features, make Figo one of the most spacious hatchbacks in its segment. Not only that, but also the boot space is good for its size. It is the feel of the plastics that fails to impress us.
For its compact hatchback proportions, which will make it easy to drive and easy to park in the city, the Figo boasts a lot of space for passengers. Five adults can sit very comfortably without any squeeze at all. The front row seats have sufficient support for your thighs, and the support on the rear is decent if not good. But the kneeroom in the second row is definitely one of the best-in-class. It's also got a big 284 litres boot for all the occupants' luggage.
For the tech-savvy man on the move, the Figo is also equipped with class leading technology. So you have the benefit of a USB compatible stereo system that also offers the benefit of hands free telephony via its Bluetooth function, which allows the driver to pair his phone with the music system. Thanks to this Bluetooth feature the driver can access his full phone book, hold calls, swap calls, mute calls and even stream audio from his mobile phone. This not only makes the Figo a Smart car to own but also a safe car to drive since it means that the driver never has to fiddle with his phone while on the move. In addition, the Figo also gets first in segment features such as lane change warning indicator, rapid deceleration warning alongside intelligent features like distance to empty reading and 6-speed smart wipers. Now, it also gets steering column mounted audio controls for easy accessibility while driving.
LXI : The LXI is the base model in the Ford Figo and it gets minimal features like the air conditioning, power steering. This is the model targets a A+ segment customer who can jump to the B segment and get similar features in a bigger vehicle.
EXI : The EXI is the version after the LXI. It gets the features that LXI gets and also some additional ones like keyless entry, power windows for the front and also electric release for the boot.
ZXI : It is the ZXI that gets more features than the EXI. The ZXI sports tiltable steering wheel to adjust the height for fine tuning, in built music system with USB and aux input. This music system also gets telephonic Bluetooth connectivity and audio streaming. Also there are the rear foggers for a clear view of the rear in winters.
Titanium : Titanium is the top of the line version of the Figo and it comes loaded with various brownies. The list includes electrically adjustable ORVMs, ABS with EBD, steering column mounted audio controls, driver seat height adjustment, dual airbags and also front fog lamps, other than the ones on the ZXI.
The interiors of the Brio are well designed, although the fit and finish could have been better. The space is sufficient, despite the compact exterior dimensions. The boot is also sufficient considering its size.
The cab-forward design of Honda means there is sufficient space on the inside. The plastic quality of the Brio interiors isn't impressive, but it is fairly decent. It comes with three-tone interior shade and it gets many bells and whistles on it.
The Honda Brio has sufficient head room and leg room for the front and rear passengers. Despite its compact dimensions, there isn't any issue for space. The boot is small and it also misses out on a rear defogger and wiper even on the top-ranging model.
E MT:E Mt is the entry-version trim of the Honda Brio. The E versions gets body coloured bumpers, front chrome grille, rear foldable seats, seat belt reminder, electric power steering, tachometer, air-con, front power windows, headlight turn off reminder.
S MT:S MT is the second level above the E MT. It gets additional features like body coloured mirrors and door handles, steering mounted audio controls, chrome air vents, silver steering wheel garnish, keyless entry, rear power windows, one-touch down windows, accessory socket and vanity mirror.
S (O) MT:The optional pack comes with safety features like dual airbags, ABS and other convenience features like tilt steering and electrically adjustable ORVMs.
V MT:The V MT is the range topping model gets a bit more extra on the car. The V MT gets an addition of alloy wheels and front fog lamps. Apart from this, there are all the frills on the S (O) MT.
The Figo is offered in two engine variants, one the petrol while the other is the diesel. The oil burner is the pick of the two as it is more drivable than the petrol. You can lug it into a higher cog and the oil burner pulls cleanly, showing no signs of struggle. This is Ford India's one of the most tried and tested engines and it is highly frugal as well.
Under the bonnet the Figo gets a choice between two engines – the highly efficient 1.4 litre TDCi Duratorq common rail diesel engine and the 1.2 litre Duratec petrol engine.
The 1.2-litre petrol engine on the Ford Figo produces a maximum power of 70bhp at 6250rpm and a peak torque of 102Nm at 4000rpm. The refinement levels of the engine are fairly decent. The engine packs in a fair bit of punch, assisted by the Sequential Fuel Injection system. The 1.2-litre engine is little down on the torque, and you do feel this especially when in the 2nd or 3rd gear and most Indian drivers are bound to lug the car in these gears in traffic.
This engine comes mated to a 5-speed manual transmission. This is an extremely quick shifting and precise gearbox. It's a total joy to use and one wouldn't mind doing countless gear-shifts through the day. As per the ARAI routine test cycle, the fuel efficiency of the Figo 1.2 is 15.6kmpl.
The 1.4-litre DuraTorq engine on the Figo is the same mill that also powers the Ford Classic, and also propelled the Fusion and the Ikon. This oil burner delivers 68bhp of power at 4000rpm and a maximum torque of 160Nm at 2000rpm. This is one of Ford's most tried and tested product. The NVH (noise, vibration and harshness) levels on the Figo are low, even though on cold starting there is a typical diesel clatter. It reduces once the engine warms up. There is more than sufficient power for any kind of driving, be it inside the city or cruising on highways. The diesel also is mated to slick shifting short throw 5-speed gearboxes that are a joy to use and make driving a truly pleasurable experience.
Brio has some of the most powerful engines in its segment. The 1.2-litre i-Vtec is one of the most of the refined mills with linear power delivery. Even the five-speed manual transmission is easy to shift with short throws.
Honda's Brio is the latest entrant and the most powerful engine in its class. It gets the 1.2-litre i-VTEC mill— that also powers the Jazz— which produces 88PS of power and 109Nm of peak torque. This engine is so well refined that it feels like Honda engineers have scrupulously tuned it. The snort at low engine speeds turns into a sweet exhaust note as the revs climb up. Brio doesn't share the same gearing with the Jazz and rather has taller ratios for better efficiency. So even though the power delivery is linear, one need to downshift for quick overtakes.
The Brio comes bolted to a 5-speed manual transmission. The gearshifts on the Brio are slick and seamless. It is a joy to shift them and the feel of the golf ball sized gear knob also is another feel good factor. As per the ARAI cycle, the Brio returns a fuel economy of 18.4kmpl.
Despite being the smallest Ford car in the country, the driving dynamics are as good as any other Ford. This helps Ford to make a bold statement with the Figo. The ride of the Figo is well sorted, despite it being a tad stiff. The handling of the Figo is good and one of the best in its segment.
On the move, the Figo's classic Ford DNA is instantly evident, courtesy its superior ride quality and its enhanced dynamic abilities. It springs on independent McPherson strut with dual path mounts at the front, while the rear gets the semi-independent twist beam and coil springs.
On twisty roads the steering feel and response is top class. It actually wants you to drive and enjoy your stint at the steering. The suspension is tuned such that the Figo aces in the handling department displaying minimal pitch or body roll as you drive at some pace around bends. But at the same time Ford has managed to keep things pliant enough for occupants to be isolated from the shocks and jars of the road beneath. Being a hydraulic power steering, its weighs well as the hatchback gathers speed.
The power-trains on most of the B+ segment hatchbacks are similar if not the same. It is the driving characteristics that vary. To be more specific, it is more of the handling that differs than the ride quality. All the cars in this segment have a sorted ride as the suspension doesn't jiggle and disturb the peace of the occupants. Road undulations are well-taken care by the suspension.
The handling is the only aspect which differs in this segment. The Brio is the pick of the lot when it comes to the response of the chassis and suspension set-up. Though the light steering wheel may feel artificial to many, the chassis has been well tweaked to be driven flat-out around bends and tight hairpins. The alacrity of the Honda engine does make it a joy to drive it around hills or twisty roads.

Gary Glitter's Arrest is a Minor Detail in Massive BBC Child Sex Abuse Scandal
A deceased kids-show host possibly harmed some 300 youths; publicly funded network may have known
Former pop star Gary Glitter was arrested Sunday in connection with a massive child sex-abuse scandal revolving around a recently deceased BBC television host. Glitter, born Paul Gadd, was best known for the 1972 stadium anthem "Rock and Roll (Part 2)," until his 2006 conviction for molesting two preteen girls in Vietnam. Jimmy Savile, who died last year at 84, hosted Top of the Pops for two decades and had his own children's show Jim'll Fix It for nearly as long. He is accused of sexually abusing approximately 300 children and adolescents during his on-air career.
Though Glitter, 68, was released on bail 10 hours later, his arrest could be the first of many to follow. According to NPR, "one witness recently told a BBC-TV show [she] saw Glitter having sex with a schoolgirl in Savile's dressing room at the broadcaster's TV center in the 1970s." In an editorial for The Daily Mail, BBC Trust chairman Chris Patten wrote, "The BBC risks squandering public trust because one of its stars over three decades was apparently a sexual criminal ... and because others — BBC employees and hangers-on — may also have been involved."
British police, who've dubbed their investigation into Savile "Operation Yewtree," have described the once well-loved host as one of the worst sex offenders in recent history. He allegedly used his position on the two shows to coerce vulnerable girls, and sometimes boys, into having sex with him in and around the publicly funded network's premises — in dressing rooms, his car, his camper van. BBC News says he may have found prey at hospitals, too. According to Sky News, members of Savile's family knew about, and were victims of, his abuse.
Worse still, it appears some within the BBC were aware of the complaints against their employee. While it was BBC One's Dateline-style Panorama that first made public the accusations (see The Guardian's roundup), BBC Two's investigative show Newsnight had already begun, and then shelved, an inquiry into the alleged abuses. According to The New York Times, the latter's top editor Peter Rippon was fired after evidence emerged that he wrote to a reporter, "The girls were teenagers, not too young. They weren't the worst kind of sexual offenses."
As London police continue to look deeper into the crimes committed, a parliamentary committee is questioning BBC officials and others to determine the extent of the network's responsibility. As Patten asked in his Daily Mail piece: "Did some turn a blind eye to criminality? Did some prefer not to follow up their suspicions because of this criminal's popularity and place in the schedules? Were reports of criminality put aside or buried? ... How can we have allowed so many people and institutions to be mired in fawning over one awful man — a devious psychopath?"
Gary Glitter had yet to issue a statement at press time.

Perhaps you're familiar with the Swift hang glider design. The name stands for "Swept Wing with Inboard Flap for trim".
If your planform has enough sweep, you can lower the trailing edge in the inboard, or root area of the wing to get a nose-up pitching moment. In many cases this is better than increasing reflex in the outboard, or tip area of the wing. I use this to get better sink rates from my Sling Wings. |

Flaps do have another effect that matters though. They can increase the camber of the root airfoil (or decrease if you deploy them "up"). This is what most RC glider pilots use flaps for - to control the behavior of the airfoil. This is neither better nor worse than increasing up elevator (indeed, deploying flaps often upsets trim and has to be accompanied by changes to the elevator). It's just a different thing to control. For free flight stuff the same effect can be had by choosing different airfoils for root and wing tips. |

She flies! Very well behaved too. But she needs a fairly large space to fly in. The turning circle is quite large. Could just about fly in our indoor venue but kept hitting the walls. Finally gave up when a crash into a wall cracked a longeron.
Today I fixed her up and decided to try flying outdoors. Was trying to trim her for a tighter turning circle but it was too windy to tell if it worked. But she flew beautifully. Here's a video of a 30 second flight:
Jan 20, 2013, 09:45 AM | ||
I used .085 on that flight. I tried 1/16 (.0625) but it didn't provide enough thrust. I think .070 or .075 would be better. But I don't have rubber at those sizes and I don't (yet) have a rubber stripper. I've ordered some .075 and I've also bought a rubber stripper. Both are on their way. So later I'll be trying it with lighter rubber and see if it flies any better. |
Jan 26, 2013, 02:55 PM | |||
Finally managed to trim it for indoor flight. Used thinner rubber - .075 vs the previous .085. Now it's flying much slower but still with enough power to climb.
Trimmed it to fly left circles. Since this is a reverse prop it's the same as trimming a regular plane to fly right circles - meaning that it's circling the opposite of the torque. Part of my problem earlier was that the plane started flying straignt as the rubber wound down. Which is bad for indoor because it kept flying into the walls towards the end of the flight. Trimming it to fly the opposite of the torque eliminates this problem. As a bonus, the torque prevents the plane from banking too far into a spiral. To trim it for left circles I added a lot of left thrust and some up elevon trim tab on the left wing and a couple of drag rudders on the left wing. Here's a video of a flight from tonight's session:

Which Digital Tools have you been regularly using for teaching?
Catherine mentioned in her welcome post to our LT SIG area that she'd like to hear more how educators are incorporating technology into their teaching practice. Thus, we'd like to hear from you.
Which tools have you been using regularly in your teaching? How have they helped you achieve your teaching/learning goals? Can you show us any online examples using those tools?
I use the IWB every day in class and feel that it has become as normal as using the whiteboard, the cassette player and photocopies became in their day.
The other LT tools we use every day are these:
mobile phones
I use Edmodo in a very conventional way to set homework tasks and provide feedback on them. I would love to get user-generated content going, but have never managed to do it satisfactorily.
My students record themselves on their mobile phones numerous times every day. Here are some examples of some of the things they will record themselves doing this week:
- after doing a traditional grammar exercise, reading the answers from the IWB preferably 'reading, looking away, speaking'
- answering questions in an interview format (back to the IWB, where the interviewer has the questions)
- retelling the story of a text read aloud by me or a 'listening' (to people who were not in the room)
- pronouncing the words in a pronunciation exercise
- pronouncing new words in a list of vocabulary (e.g. animals)
- speaking for 2 minutes on a subject they haven't chosen
My students send their recordings from their mobile phones to email@example.com to build up an ePortfolio of their spoken English. They also send the final version of their written work to their posterous space although this doesn't happen every day.
I am amazed by how many students have responded well to recording themselves and the number of recordings some people have posted (50+!), but I don't feel I have satisfactorily solved the problem of how students should get the maximum benefit from their recordings.
I provide feedback on one or two of their recordings every term, but the students are going to have to be the ones who work on the vast majority of their recordings. The only thoughts about this I have had are these:
Feedback and assessment from a teacher may help, but reflection and self-awareness will make much more of a difference.
How can this reflection and self-awareness be encouraged?
- Maybe introducing tasks that involve reflection little by little, like Jenny Bedwell's idea of getting students to select their best recording for teacher assessment.
- Giving students a task like noticing and reporting on three 'silly mistakes you made' in speaking
- Using one idea from the list below at a time with individual students:
One of the many advantages of recording your voice and listening to yourself again afterwards is that then you can think about your English.
1 Evaluate yourself
2 Repeat any bits you particularly like - say them again and again (record them and post the recordings here, if you like)

One of the many advantages of recording your voice and listening to yourself again afterwards is that then you can think about your English.
1 Evaluate yourself
2 Make a transcript of the first minute of your recording. With this data you can make interesting calculations about how fast you speak, how much vocabulary you use, etc.
At a later stage, maybe students can be asked to do more than one of these tasks.
The problem is that this can never be done in lockstep: different students will move through stages in reflection and self-awareness at different times and helping this happen is personalised, time-consuming and labour intensive.
Has anyone else faced this problem? Is anyone else facing this problem?
Thank you for this. I really like that you've explained what you use and why it is beneficial. Too often in this field we just get to hear about some great new app or gizmo with no underlying purpose or methodology given for using it. So this is really useful.
I agree that it is worthwhile getting students to listen to themselves and this sounds like a great way to do it. (I need to check how to record myself on my phone now!) and the e-portfolio presumably is used in lots of other ways too so they have a complete record of their learning and progress?
With regard to your last comment, I can see what you're saying but I was wondering what kind of support you're giving them. Is it that they all want your help and advice to know how to improve / confirmation that they are doing well? Or is there more to it than that?
I've just counted: 63 recordings were posted last week. Most of them recorded directly in class.
I've only listened to a few of them, but I have just listened to a couple of dozen from previous weeks. I limited myself to giving students a grade and comments like: "Your pronunciation is excellent and you are very fluent. You don't use the past tense, which would make it better. You can tell a story in the present simple, but then you have to make quite sure you use the -s ending more.
Your English is not as good as your fluency and pronunciation suggests.
If I have time later, I'll try to give you some feedback about your grammar or your pronunciation. Which is more important for you?
4 out of 5
A recording you made on Feb 21st, 23rd or 28th"
The reason is that I have to get end of term assessments completed today!
Hi Chris,
I completely agree with Nicola that it's really refreshing to hear someone talking about methodological ways of using an application, rather than just recommending the latest fad they've picked up from a '50 best ways to' webpage.
Your ideas and detail have triggered a couple of questions though - how do you arrive to the 4 out of 5? Are the students aware of the criteria you use? And how easily do the students take to your requests for them to record themselves and send it to you?
Whenever I try and initiate something similar, everyone starts cringing at the thought of hearing their own voices - do you have a trick or info to lower this particular affective filter?
Hi Neil,
When grading my students' speaking and writing I use 'gut reaction' only tempered by occasional cross-marking/standardisation sessions, which sadly are usually for written work. The students only know the grade level (5 very good, 4 good, 3 OK, 2 weak) and unless I add comments like"your pronunciation is excellent, but you make quite a lot of grammar mistakes. You are more fluent now than you were last term." the students don't really have anything formative to go on.
Trying to get students to do things like re-telling a story to someone who wasn't there to hear it and recording themselves doing it is something I try to introduce on the very first day of term so I have had very little chance to lower this important affective filter, but it worked really well this year, which was the first time I had tried to do this so dramatically.
I first demonstrate recording my own voice and playing it back, and I get the students to do it simply by showing supreme confidence that they will do it. I ask them to listen to themselves at home although many can't resist and listen to a bit in class immediately. I then get them to send their recording to email@example.com It takes quite a while to get everyone on board with this, but mostly because of the difficulty or cost of sending voice recordings.
I think it is vital to get students to be reflective about their speaking and they can only do that if they listen to themselves. I don't get them to listen to each other's recordings, but I engineer it so that they work with as many different people in the class as possible, so they do listen to each other. Maybe I should encourage some reflection there about how well their partner speaks.
At the end of the course I will set them a task to compare one of their early recordings with one of the most recent ones.
I can't help feeling rather reluctant to retire at the end of this year when there is still so much to experiment with in this area and I still feel I have so much to learn.
Thanks to Neil for his questions and thanks to you for taking the time to reply. Your comment about 'supreme confidence' made me smile. It's amazing how well it works. There should be INSETT sessions on it regularly!
I'm just starting some action research on WTC and I'm hoping to use your ideas as part of it.
I hope you decide to put off retiring for a bit longer. It sound as if you enjoy this too much to give it up.
I hope Neil found your comments useful too.
Ho all,
From the Learning Technologies PCE we got an extensive overview of the Apps that are available. Paul Sweeney took us on a whirlwind tour of both ELT and non-ELT apps ( you can see the pdf of his slides here http://www.eduworlds.co.uk/iateflpce.pdf )
It would be nice to hear from teachers who've used these Apps either in or outside the classroom and to discuss some of the benefits and tasks that worked. Are these the apps you use?
Most my business students use their cell phones willingly and they like dictionaries and word apps to help them check stuff fast (although they don't usually do this in class). We tend to use their cells to video part of their presentation or sales pitch or whatever it is they are preparing otherwise most my classrooms are quite tech-free. (With business students who have been in front of a screen all day they prefer the focus to be on speaking or interacting together in small groups.)
Another question that fascinates me relates to the disjointed nature of some of these apps. Has anyone got any experience of using more than one or two? How do the students feel?
Looking forward to your comments.
A bug thanks everyone for all the app contributions!
Dear Vale,
Thanks for reporting back the Learning Technologies PCE with lots to explore from Paul's presentation.
From my initial experience as we're just implementing the use of iPads in the EFL classroom, I've been trying to show teachers how they can use the tablets to create language, to help learners explore new ways of playing around with the language structures they are learning. So, for example, our very basic students have been studying a unit on food. They've practiced the vocabulary and language constructions related to it, then made a wall with the food they wanted to talk about (available in the photo stream) in Educreations, then recorded a dialogue that was then uploaded to the class wiki. This is just one tiny example on how mobile devices can really enhance student-centered classes that encourage student practice & engaged production.
Any other examples? It would be great if we could keep this thread going with good examples of what we could do with mobile devices in the classroom.
Any volunteers for more examples?
I'm afraid I'm not going to give you any examples of using Language learning technologies in my classrooms but I am very much interested to use them. I believe they are especially important for teaching English in my country where the language is used as a medium of instruction but is not around outside the classroom. Students have started accessing interenet, mobile phones and few of them ipads too. Nevertheless, we teachers do not seem to have the necessary skills and knowledge of using them for learning/teaching. Though this might be out of the threads, any ideas on how we can go about it?
Hello everyone.
I spend quite a lot of time thinking and trying how to enhance my teaching by incorporating technology into it. Taking into account that my students are YLEs, most of it comes down to engaging them into activities that are meaningful and authentic as well as interesting and motivating for them.
I've recently decided to give digital online games a try and the results have been good so far. Inspired by Digital Play blog and book, I set up a web site with monthly tasks where students have to do and send me a piece of writing upon completing the game. This is the web place: http://zzeng.webnode.com/
Another example of how I use technology with even younger ones is recording and showcasing what they do as well as posting some interesting activities for them to use their English and enjoy themselves. Here is what it looks like: http://e-garden.webnode.com/.
Podcasting is one of my favourite media again due to the age of my students. Since they are much better at speaking and listening when starting to learn English (in state schools in Serbia they are not to start writing English till third grade), recording their oral activities seems the most plausible solution. Here are some of my students' podcasts - with more yet to come :) http://podcast68383.podomatic.com/
There are some other technologies I have tried and am about to exploit more (like digital storytelling) but I'll write more about it some other time.
Chris mentioned he uses an IWB, I do not have access to one, but after the Asia TEFL in Bangkok a few years ago purchased a mimio bar which allows me to transform my normal whiteboard into an interactive tool. Like Nada, I have had my students creating podcasts, bur they are uploaded to our University Moodle, which I find invaluable. Along with Nada again, I have created quited a lot of online games. I also make great use of Quizlet for helping students with vocabulary and have different groups take part in both brainstorming and problem solving activities using Piratepad and/or Titanpad.

The Industry Standard's Jake Widman circles back to question several technology pundits who a year ago pooh-poohed the iPhone as a poorly designed first dabbling by Apple — or worse, the device that would bring down Apple entirely.
Many did not respond. Those that did had varying responses, from Rob Enderle's claim that it's "still [not] a great phone" to others who eat a little crow and say that it's obviously striking a chord for some buyers. A few actually had purchased iPhones for themselves.
It's easy to snigger at a pundit's failure to properly forecast, but let's be fair: the iPhone could have been a flop…if the mass market's needs reflected those of tech pundits. (And while the iPhone certainly has captured perhaps more than its share of attention in the tech press, it's still not a smash hit yet. There are still only a few million iPhones on the market.)
If anything, Widman's piece underlines one of my own personal bugbears about the technology prognostication business: most of us writing about technology don't know all that much about the market in general. Sure, I think I've got a pretty good grip on trends by dint of writing about the consumer electronics market almost daily for five years, but I've been wrong about the future as much or more than I've been right. (Bluetooth headphones are going to be the hit accessory of 2006, everyone!)
I'm not trying to hide incompetence behind flippancy, either. I really do try to think this stuff through and offer my best guess. ("I predict the far flung future of…2010!") But most technology writers have a journalism background, not a hands-on technical one, and even those of us who came out of the IT or engineering world (like I did, nominally, with a couple of years of mediocre web development and sysadminning) rarely have a good grasp of design, advertising, or market forces that affect the success of a product as much or more than technical specifications.
The obvious point of reference is the iPod. When I took over Gizmodo there was still a very active debate about whether or not the iPod would succeed in the MP3 player market. A couple of years later it was clear from sales numbers alone that Apple had dominated the market, but that didn't stop vocal internet geeks from decrying not just the iPod as it applied to their needs (fair) but as it applied to the millions of others who seemed to like their iPods just fine (unfair). Even Microsoft spent millions launching platform after platform to try to fight off the iPod well after it was clear the market had spoken.
Anyway, what was I talking about? Someone just handed me a melon.
I think I remember my point: holding pundits who write incendiary articles to the fire is a good thing. Keeps them honest. But even when the pundits are right, it's mostly all a wild guess. I don't mean to undermine my entire livelihood here, but I don't think it's a big secret that most of us in this industry are just regular technology fans with no special insight or skills beyond the luxury of a job that lets us pay slightly closer attention to our subject matter than our readers.
I hope that doesn't sound really pessimistic. And if fact there are many really smart writers out there doing good work. (Mike Masnick, Tim Wu (who didn't like the iPhone!), Loyd Case and Jason Cross, much of the Ars gang, etc.; few I would saddle with the term "pundit".) I probably should have just called Dvorak a toolish prevaricator and been on my way. In fact this whole article is a mess, but when you're a tech pundit, you've got to publish whatever you end up writing, even if it's completely ludicrous, or else people might stop reading.

Holidays because of the Baltic Sea in Poland are popular among both Polish and European tourists. Even so the Baltic Sea doesn't remind of warm, blue seas about the south of Europe whatsoever (it's much colder and wild owing to strong winds). You simply will not resist its charm. Check it out by yourself ustka...
Sandy beaches and history ustka
Boon of Polish seaside could be over 700 km long beaches that belongs towards best in whole Europe ustka. A seaside can be appreciated for specific microclimate, full of iodine, owing to that your towns located alongside the sea are brimming with popular in Poland sanatories, different health hotels and resorts. Beaches in Poland are sandy, July and August are the most useful months for sunbathing. Our summer sees the Polish seaside comes to life and beach resorts attract many holidaymakers hunting for sun and relaxation. Holiday resorts for the Baltic Sea also boast historically captivating cities, great natural attractions, including a relaxed maritime climate. And, least but is not last reason, why it truly is worth to check out and exactly what the tourists love Polish Seaside for: impressive hugeness and majesty from the sea causes an unique a feeling of amazement and respect with the nature. The cities located here: Gdansk, Hel, Gdynia, Sopot remember dates of the finest events in Polish and European history (for instance: World War The 2nd, Revolution of "Solidarity", to list just 2 of them) ustka.
Nature and culture
It's common for many folks who visited Polish Seaside to claim that it place is magical ustka. Some mysterious atmosphere causes we will not wait to view another sunset, want to relax the new air and gloat the area cuisine with many different sophisticated species of fish ustka.
Polish Seaside has the tourists not merely traditional "3xS" but will also many other attractions ustka. Probably the most interesting areas are two Nature: "Wolinski", on the Wolin Island with natural cliffs, that contains bison reserve, and "Slowinski", with lakes and unique, movable dunes. Across the seaside there are several attractive, unique touristic points (like: lighthouses in Czolpin and ustka). Small towns are great places for individuals who need to rest miles away from the crowds ustka. For any amateurs from the history and culture, on the other hand, Gdansk is a good place, where they will explore both of them. Museums, historical points (shipyards, places of fights, monuments etc.), libraries and Polish-German agreement centers are accessible for everybody, regardless the word what and culture.

Aicardi syndrome is a rare disorder in which the structure that connects the two sides of the brain (called the corpus callosum) is partly or completely missing. Nearly all known cases of Aicardi syndrome occur in people with no history of the disorder in their family (sporadic).
The cause of Aicardi syndrome is unknown at this time. In some cases, experts believe it may be a result of a gene defect on the X chromosome.
The disorder affects only girls.
Symptoms usually start when the child is between ages 3 and 5 months. The condition causes jerking (infantile spasms), a type of childhood seizure.
Aicardi syndrome may occur with other brain defects.
Other symptoms may include:
Children are diagnosed with Aicardi syndrome if they meet the following criteria:
In rare cases, one of these features may be missing (especially lack of development of the corpus callosum).
Tests to diagnose Aicardi syndrome include:
Other procedures and tests may be done, depending on the person.
Treatment is supportive. It involves managing seizures and any other health concerns, and using programs to help the family and child cope with delays in development.
Aicardi Syndrome Foundation - www.aicardisyndrome.org
National Organization for Rare Disorders (NORD) - www.rarediseases.org
The outlook depends on how severe the symptoms are and what other health conditions are present.
Nearly all children with this syndrome have severe learning difficulties and remain completely dependent on others. However, a few have some language abilities and some can walk on their own or with support. Vision varies from normal to blind.
Complications depend on the severity of symptoms.
Call your health care provider if your child has symptoms of Aicardi syndrome. Seek emergency care if the infant is having spasms or a seizure.

Israelis Insult Muslims, Face Criminal Charges
by Daniel Pipes http://www.danielpipes.org/blog/2008/11/israelis-insult-muslims-face-criminal-charges
In 1997-98, the Israeli government, with Washington's encouragement, arrested and jailed a young woman, Tatiana Soskin (also spelled Tatiana Suskin), who put up posters in Hebron that depicted the Muslim prophet, Muhammad, as a pig, A Jerusalem court convicted her of various crimes and sentenced her to two years in prison, plus a one-year suspended sentence. I covered the case at the time in an article, "[Hebron Pig Poster Incident:] How Clinton Adheres to the 'Rushdie Rules'" but then forgot the topic: that seemed to be that, a one-time incident without consequences over the next decade.
But now a similar court case is taking place, as a poet goes on trial in Israel, explains Sultan Knish. Gershon (Gregory) Trastman writes for Vesti, a conservative Russian-language newspaper in Israel, and a recent poem by him, with references to Arab demographics as a weapon against Israel, has him in trouble. Here is a rough translation of his poem: . In addition, Sergei Podrazhansky, the Vesti oped page editor, is on his way to court. Comments: (1) Two such cases suggest the Soskin episode was not aberrant but part of something larger. (2) Dhimmitude appears to be flourishing in Israel. The "No Arabs - No terrorism" bumper sticker, in Hebrew. Ofan will be sentenced at a later date. He is the second person to be convicted for using the slogan, the first having been David Ha'ivri, who was sentenced to six months of community service for distributing T-shirts with the slogan on them. Ofen responded by calling the judgment both "a bit illogical" and "a selective enforcement of the law." Itamar Ben-Gvir also accused the police and the courts of a double standard: "We see that when the Arabs chant 'Death to the Jews' as they did recently in Umm el-Fahm, neither the police nor the State Attorney's Office do anything." He also held that "No Arabs - No terrorism" does not amount to a direct call to violence. Barak Medina, a law professor at Hebrew University agreed, noting that there is no uniform approach in such cases, which are influenced by the public mood and the general political circumstances. He also noted that Israeli law enforcement is more sensitive to remarks directed against a minority. Comment: In contrast, a bumper sticker with "No Muslims - No Terrorism" was for sale in 2003 at a Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington, D.C., and no one was arrested. Mar. 2, 2009 update: On learning that "a cast member on the Israeli version of the reality show Survivor said he had named one of his shoes Muhammad," I wonder if jail awaits him. So far, the only reaction I find is that GCC Secretary-General Abdul Rahman Al-Attiyah yesterday, as paraphrased by the Saudi newspaper Arab News, "called on the international community and the United Nations to take immediate measures to stop the defamation of prophets and religions." Mar. 9, 2009 update: Incidents in Hebron suggest that the government of Israel devotes less attention to protecting Judaism than Islam. Efrat Weiss reports for Yedi'ot Aharonot in "Prayer books at holy site vandalized": Aug. 17, 2011 update: Israelis insult Israelis, do not face criminal charges: A pig poster quite similar to Soskin's but with Ariel Sharon's name on it caused no problems and led to no time in jail for Ron Magal, the person who drew it, when it appeared in a Tel Aviv gallery, Boaz Arad notes in Anochi. Interesting that the Jewish state should protect the non-porcine dignity of Muslims more than that of Jews.
May 29, 2013 update: A Muslim member of parliament in Israel, Ibrahim Sarsour of the UAL-Ta'al party, has submitted a bill that outlaws cursing, defaming and publishing pictures or caricatures of holy books and prophets, including Muhammad, Moses and Jesus. Indeed, according to Sarsour, the bill outlaws "any offense in any form – speaking, drawing – that harms people's religious sentiments, whether directly or indirectly." Oct. 18, 2013 update: Not a criminal charge but not too different: Supreme Court Justice Salim Joubran, a Christian Arab who heads Israel's Central Elections Committee has banned a Likud party municipal election ad about ending the early morning adhan from mosques in Jaffa on the grounds that it the ad would offend Muslims. The ad reads: "Silencing the muezzin in Jaffa? Only the Likud can." After a Labor party member complained to the Elections Committee about the ad, Joubran banned the ad on the grounds that it "will almost certainly be highly offensive to the Arab-Muslim population of the state of Israel." July 31, 2014 update: A bartender living in Beer Sheba, Lior Cohen, 22, was arrested and interrogated for a Facebook page comment that "An Arab who is a real man is an Arab in the grave." Cohen expressed regret and so was sentenced only to house arrest for 10 days and no use of the internet for 30 days.

Two Jamaican men are in the Saint Martin Parish Jail after state troopers busted them with nearly 850 pounds of marijuana.
That much weed has an estimated street value of two million dollars.
State troopers pulled over a big rig just before six this morning in Saint Martin Parish.
During the traffic stop, troopers say they became suspicious of the cargo inside.
and tell us they found all the drugs under sacks of onions.
"My philosophy has been since day one, look beyond a stop, look beyond a speeding ticket, look beyond a traffic stop and this is the outcome, what you see behind me. 850 pounds of marijuana, $2 million dollars worth. let this be known and send a message to all criminals, within the nation. if you get stopped along I-10 and you're traveling with drugs, we are going to seize your drugs and we are going to put you in jail. "
33 year old Anthony Senior and 29 year old Damian Jarrett both of Kingston, Jamaica were arrested for possession with intent to distribute marijuana.

March 9, 2010 Mr. Joseph Di Memmo
Dear Deputy Di Memmo: American Network Insurance Company has a Certificate of Authority in the State of Maine. Due to Pennsylvania's January 6, 2009 Order placing the Company into Rehabilitation and the Company's unsound financial condition, it is necessary to suspend the Company's Certificate of Authority in Maine. Pursuant to Title 24-A, M.R.S.A., § 417, Sections (2)A and 3, the Certificate of Authority for American Network Insurance Company is suspended indefinitely, effective immediately. Per your email to Lauri Cooper of this office, it is understood that the Company has waived the right to a hearing. Thus, a hearing has not been scheduled. The Company will continue to be responsible for filing its Annual Statement and for paying any required fees, licenses and taxes. Pursuant to Title 24-A M.R.S.A. §§ 229 and 419(1), the Company may, at any time, file with the Superintendent a request to lift the suspension upon a showing that valid grounds for suspension no longer exist, and may petition for an adjudicatory hearing if the request to lift the suspension is denied. If you have any questions, please contact Lauri Cooper at (207) 624-8464 or via e-mail at email@example.com. Per Order of

As of 11am PDT on Friday, April 18, 2014, all traffic to parallaxsemiconductor.com will redirect back to parallax.com.
When we launched Parallax Semiconductor in 2011, Parallax faced a much different business landscape. From a business perspective, our successful history in education and hobby meant some professional customers wouldn't take our multicore chip design capability seriously. While we were reaching to please professional customers, big chip manufacturers were also making efforts to reach more of what we already had - creative customers, active forums and entrepreneurial designs in emerging technology applications. Since then, the professional and hobby uses have merged significantly and there's less business need for having two distinctly different appearances. After all, we're a single, small company.
We also launched the Parallax Semiconductor model because our main www.parallax.com commerce site was starting a major redesign and we didn't want to put our energy into content that would have to be moved again.
Today, thanks to the hard work by our web development and marketing teams, we have a new ecommerce site that is capable of supporting all customer types. As a result, it makes sense to host all information related to Parallax and the Propeller chip in one centralized location.
We have integrated all unique content from Parallax Semiconductor to the parallax.com site. Application notes can be found through the search system, or in the downloads tab for the Propeller QuickStart. Customer success stories were moved to their own page. All other verbiage and information has been updated across informational pages on parallax.com.
Parallax will also continue to provide FAE support to engineers and entrepreneurs looking to design the Propeller into their products. Please direct any requests to email@example.com.
We hope you're as excited about this change as we are, but feel free to share any questions or concerns in the comments below!
- Jessica Uelmen, Director of Strategic Operations, Parallax Inc.

Yet I must admit that I'm surprised that Sarah didn't notice certain similarities between this child she's run into and a certain glittery goblin. Then again, Sarah's pretty damn good at hiding her insights at times. (Such as when she had Misto as a pet before shoving him off on the boys.)
