This comforter is fine as far as the warmth goes, how it is made and the materials used. I didn't want a heavy comforter and this one is great for summer. My only issue with it is that I ordered one for my new king size mattress and it covers the top of the mattress and just a tiny bit on the sides, but not enough to even remotely look like the picture of the comforter. Now that I've been looking for one that actually fits, I see that all retailers use photos that do not accurately represent the size. They do give the dimensions though, so if you want your's to drape like the picture, be sure to check the measurements before ordering.
This down alternative comforter surpassed my expectations. My apartment has heat included and tends to run warm, so I wanted something that wouldn't make me too hot. I don't overheat with it, but it protects me from the draft when I have to crack the window to control the temp in my apartment. Perfect!!! The microfiber fabric is smooth and appealing; it isn't stiff and doesn't "crackle" like cotton sometimes does. The filling is very even---I've had down comforters with pockets that are practically empty, but this one's delightfully uniform. No cold spots! I absolutely love the down alternative, too---no feathers poking out of the cover! My mom got a lightweight down comforter from a catalog a year ago, and this one was 1/3 the price and every bit as nice. Exactly what I needed.
I would definitely buy this again. Much cheaper than comparable brands. Nice and fluffy, very comfortable. I used this under a duvet cover and it was perfect.
I get cold very easily so it was important that I get a comforter that keeps me warm especially since the year-round nighttime temp is between 40-50 degrees. I mistakenly left my window open last night and it was approximately 45 degrees out. This comforter kept me warm, I hadn't notice the window was open until I got out of bed. Downside was after getting back in it took a few minutes for my body to warm up again. This is a light comforter for it's size so it's easier to maneuver around than other king comforters I've slept under. Out of the box, it was so flat that I was worried I would be cold. It took about three days to fully fluff, even then it is not bulky. My only real problem with this comforter is that it makes a fair amount of noise.
This comforter is nice, but it is not heavy or warm enough for "all-seasons". It's definitely more of a spring, summer, fall comforter. Not warm enough for winter.
I really like this comforter for the money. I has held up well now for over a year, it's very warm but not bulky, and good for year around use in Maine.
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this comforter! It's easy care, lightweight but warm as toast.
Great comforter for the money.
super thin. almost like just using a blanket
I use this comforter in my vacation home and love it. It is very soft, silky and lightweight. I put duvets on it so I haven't had to wash it yet.

Phoronix: Android Support Removed From Wayland's Weston
The Android back-end for Wayland's Weston compositor is being dropped thereby losing support for Google's mobile operating system on Wayland...
Kill it with fire.
What is the difference of Wayland and the Android display server?
Why were Wayland developed instead of re-use the Android display server on the Linux desktop?
Wayland is trying to be not just a cheap mildly good solution for the masses but a really good one, flexible with a well thought design. Android doesn't plan to use Wayland because there's little value for end customers just like you don't need a chip (CPU) which can withstand solar flares. But since the desktop is much more sophisticated and powerful than a smartphone, going after Wayland makes sense for us, desktop users.
Last edited by mark45; 01-24-2013 at 06:24 PM.
It makes much more sense to have a comprehensive well thought out display server like Wayland / Weston anyway, because Surfaceflinger was kind of just hacked together.
It's unfortunate that Android isn't a community project, because this is something that would help:
- Make a better Android
- Improve Linux Desktop <---> Android app mobility. (Blur the lines)
- Reduce Duplication of work in this very tricky area. (Faster improvements, more use)
Focus on making Wayland great and a joy to use... Android will eventually come around.

Cyd Szymanski's cage-free egg business was threatened by large caged-hen companies that saw new profit potential in the industry she had helped build. Szymanski had based her company, Nest Fresh Eggs, on a strong personal belief that people deserved healthier alternatives for food and that animals deserved to be treated well. Not only had Szymanski remained true to her convictions, but she also saw financial success with what had begun as a very small family operation. Over time, more consumers understood the health and ethical benefits associated with cage-free eggs and were willing to pay a premium price to purchase them. But, during Nest Fresh's 14 years in business, the egg industry had undergone a number of changes. Large caged egg producers started to enter the cage-free market. Szymanski believed that these producers were motivated solely by profit. They were developing small cage-free production facilities side by side with their caged operations. They also had the financial clout to offer lower prices, something the small independent cage-free operators like Nest Fresh were far less able to do. Szymanski had to come up with alternatives, some of which might require back-pedaling on her convictions.
learning objective:
To examine whether a personal belief and passion can evolve into a successful and sustainable business. Also, to consider whether there is a point at which personal convictions need to change to accommodate economic reality.

The little round balls sold by nonprofits in banks and other places. The gum base is perfect.
I've recently taken a liking to Stride's new ID gum. It has a built in magnet to keep the flip open package SHUT. Keeping my gum from ending up in my cup holders, etc.
There's no K in Chiclets
Where's the love for Fruit Stripe? You know, we all had it as kids.
Bazooka. It started my sugar addiction as a child, I am certain of that!
Double Mint. Every week my Great Grandmother use to send me letters, she always added a stick of Double Mint, when I got a boyfriend? She added two. Sadly she's passed now, but husband, myself and our four year old now enjoy the gum together.
But we don't share. Step off my gum!

I still adore Black Jack Gum, going way back to the 50s in our small town in western PA. When I place a stick of Black Jack in my mouth, I'd swear I was back there & a kid again.

5 Gum!!! Done
Jumblow is the best gum in the world...and it's hard to find...wake up people, demand it.
Bazooka Joe. The horrible taste! The unfunny comic! The unappealing colour! The small hard pellet that bruises your palate! It has everything you need in childhood disappointment in one package.
Bubble Yum!
Whatever is on sale that can relieve my stank breath. Lately, Ice Breakers.
No teeth, No gum..
Now, Extra Dessert Delights. The Key Lime Pie and the Apple Pie are the best, and really taste like pie.
When I was a kid, Bub's Daddy. Either Green Apple or Watermelon. A giant rope of gum goodness. If it were still around it would still be my favorite.
Extra, some type of mint so long as it's not Wintergreen.
ChronoSquall14 wrote:Extra, some type of mint so long as it's not Wintergreen.
I agree with the brand and mint flavor.
The League is where its at. That tuff Mudder trucker on the package dares you to chew his gum.
You could spell it right! It's "Chiclet" not "Chicklet."
Well, honestly I'm more of a Tic Tac WOMAN.... but...

I still like Clove gum.
Thermogum. Nice initial raspberry flavor and then it tastes like chewing black pepper for up to 10 hours.
Gum Acacia in general gums.
Commercial gum would be...
Black Black.
I prefer Spry. It is sweetened with Xylitol, which actually protects your teeth. Imagine that. A gum that is good for your teeth. Even my dentist praised me for chewing it. Plus, it's called Spry, and that makes me think of the scene in "Bad Santa" where Billy Boy Thornton asks the kid if his grandma is spry.
I am addicted to IceBreakers Duo Mints, Strawberry
Ever since I stopped smoking, these are my fallback. I can eat a full tin a day if I let myself.
Teaberry, or Beamans.

Same, because Trident keeps it's flavor. Grandma has been chewing it my whole life (She's 87 currently) and I'm carrying on the tradition because other gum seems to let me down. Buy it at Costco for cheap and chew through your days!
Cute story, kutiel :-)
BlackJack, alas it is no more
I checked "The gum that comes with baseball cards." The gum was so-so, but the baseball cards tasted terrible, and you could chew and chew and chew and all you got for your effort was a big wad of pulp. Used to throw that at the blackboard in school.

I'm from the old school. Double Bubble is my favorite
Handfuls of Chicle (Chickle?) Tabs sold by the quarter. One of my brothers and I see how many we can shove in our mouths and chew before our jaw muscles cramp up.
It's pure sugar bliss for about 10 minutes, then you're chewing hard clay.
Nothing beats the sugar buzz accompanied by sore jaw muscles!
Big League Chew....wrapped around a big hunk of Redman!

Adam Driver Gossip
Adam Driver gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
The Roadkill
The latest Sony leaked emails exposed the manipulative nature of the Amy Pascal and Scott Rudin relationship and gave us some insight into the Angelina Jolie playbook. There were others though who were caught in the crossfire. Sarah has already addressed the Jobs mess – click here Full Story
Don't forget about Timothy Olyphant
Wenn, FameFlynet, Uri Schanker/ Pascal Le Segretain/ Getty Images
I posted photos today of Will Ferrell and Luke Wilson Old School in the site intro today and someone yelled at me for not mentioning Timothy Olyphant. Fair enough. Timothy Olyphant was also at the US Open this weekend. And we should be seeing him at TIFF for This Is Where I Leave You. Everyone I know who's seen it so far says it's terrific. Full Story
Adam Driver… quiver?
This last season of Girls was the best yet, right? Partway through, Duana started talking about how Adam Driver was working for her. That she was starting to feel some things about him. And even though I agreed with her about the quality of the show, I couldn't see it. I couldn't go there. Full Story
This Is Where I Leave You
Who is going to go see This Is Where I Leave You with me? It's kind of hard to know who to take. I mean, this is not The Hunger Games where the companion had to be carefully thought through and it's not Pitch Perfect where basically, seeing the movie with me became the prize because I was so delighted with the whole enterprise that I squealed and giggled and chortled and basically it was like those YouTube clips where laughing babies make you laugh.

Darth Adam
I've been trying to tune out the maelstrom of rumor, assumption and speculation surrounding the new Star Wars movies. You think the run up to a Marvel movie is a mess? Star Wars is way, way worse. Thus the Zone of Willful Ignorance, because there's only so much that I can stand. There have to be limits! Do you hear me? LIMITS! But since Episode VII is scheduled to go into production in April, JJ Abrams is buckling down and getting serious about casting this space-bitch, which means, after all the rumors and bullsh*t, there is finally some actual Star Wars news: Adam Driver is signing on to play the villain.

Firstly, sorry if this is covered somewhere and I've missed it.
Has anyone had success configuring any of the the recent open source ATI drivers for Zaphod (dual independent head) mode?
If so - any pointers?
Hm, for me Zaphod mode is working almost flawlessly on two rv770's (HD4870) with 3 screens. The only bug I encounter sometimes is #25311, but I'm not even sure it's radeon specific ...
As you ask for pointers ... well, i have two device sections in my xorg.conf ... that's pretty much all I did. I'm running on KMS on a drm-next kernel (about 2 weeks old, 2.6.32-rc8) with VGA Arbitration enabled and recent git DDX (xf86-video-ati).
You can find my somewhat cluttered xorg.conf here: http://pastebin.com/f5fdad007
Can it be used to start two Xservers for one card or just to separate screens on one Xserver?
I'm using dual seat with two (R3xx) graphic cards (AGP Radeon 9600 and PCI-E Radeon x300) on two Xservers stared by KDM - everything working perfectly on Kubuntu 9.04 and 9.10 but there's one screen for one card.
It's for separate screens on one server. Thinking about how the configuration is laid out, it may work across more than one card but I'm not sure.
Luzipher, I noticed that bug while replying to this thread and it did get me wondering. I haven't enabled the VGA Arbitration stuff, maybe that's what I need. Otherwise I suspect a bug in the output enumeration of some cards. My bug report gives a rather confusing account of how it seems to mix up the DIN output with my DVI outputs.
Hmm seems VGA Abitration is already enabled in the kernel but I think it needs xorg-server-1.7. I've stuck with 1.6 because fglrx doesn't support 1.7 yet and downgrading (if it doesn't work out) would be a total bitch.
Just tried with xorg/server-1.7.3 anyway. Still no joy. And downgrading was indeed a total bitch.
I didn't notice till I tried it that Luzipher actually has two cards. That's probably why it works for him.

Words are sounds. Thoughts are words in sequence, in logical sequence, in a particular pattern. Sound is basic. With sound words are created, and then with words thoughts are created, and then with thoughts religion and philosophy, everything. Deep down is the sound.
This technique uses a reverse process. Shiva says:
Devi, imagine the Sanskrit letters in these honey-filled foci of awareness, first as letters, then more subtly as sounds, then as most subtle feeling. Then, leaving them aside, be free.
We live in philosophy. One is a Hindu, one is a Mohammedan, one is a Christian, or something else. We live in philosophies, systems of thought, and they have become so important that we can die for them. Man can die for words, for mere words. Someone calls his conception of the absolute a lie, or someone calls Ram or someone calls Christ or something else a lie - then man can fight, for a mere word he can kill the other. The word has become so important. This is nonsense, but this is history and this is how we are still behaving.
A single word can create such a disturbance in you that you are ready to kill or to die for it. We live in philosophies, systems of thought. What are philosophies? Thoughts arranged logically, systematically, in a pattern. And what are thoughts? Words arranged in a system, meaningfully. And what are words? Sounds, upon which it is agreed that they mean either this or that. So sounds are basic; they are the basic structure of the mind. Philosophies are the peak, but the bricks by which the whole structure is raised are sounds.
What is wrong? A sound is just a sound, and the meaning is given by us, agreed upon by us; otherwise it has no meaning. The meaning is invested by us, projected by us; otherwise "Ram" is just a sound - it is meaningless. We give it a meaning, and then we create a system of thought around it. Then this word becomes very significant, then we make a philosophy around it. Then you can do something, anything, for it. You can die or you can live for it. If someone insults this sound "Ram," you can become infuriated. And what is this? Just an agreement, a legal agreement that "This word means this." No word means anything in itself, it is simply a sound.
This sutra says to go in the reverse order - go backwards. Come to the sounds, then, more basic than sounds, a feeling is somewhere hidden. This has to be understood. Man uses words. Words mean sounds with meanings that are agreed upon. But animals, birds use sounds without any linguistic meaning. They do not have any language, but they use sounds with feeling. A bird is singing: it has a "feeling" meaning in it, it is indicating something. It may be a call for the partner, for the beloved, or it may be a call for the mother, or the child may be feeling hungry and just showing his distress. It is indicating a feeling.

An F-1 student engaged in pre-completion OPT follows the same
procedure for visits abroad and re-entry as all F-1 students.
An F-1 student who is engaged in post-completion OPT who
travels outside the United States temporarily (i.e., less than 5
months) can be readmitted to resume employment for the remainder
of the period authorized on his or her EAD card, provided:
The student
presents a Form I-20 endorsed by the DSO within the
preceding 6 months
The student
presents an unexpired EAD, and
The student is returning to
resume employment.
Students approved for post-completion OPT continue to be in F-1 status. They are
therefore subject not only to the requirements that they have an I-20 endorsed
for travel and an EAD, but to the requirement that they have a valid F-1 visa to
re-enter the United States, unless they are exempt from the visa requirement.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: Can I
reenter if my request for OPT is pending?
A: Yes, you
may reenter to search for employment.
Q: Can I
reenter if I left while on OPT?
A: If your
OPT has been approved and you depart before you get a
job, your OPT ends and you cannot reenter unless you
have a written job offer.
If you have a job, you may travel and reenter to resume
work at the same job or you have a written offer for
another job.

Ordered 7 Levelor mini-blinds, they arrivea about a week later. I installed them, and found one of them was 1" shorter than the one next to it. [...] 1 week later, a new blind arrived. No questions, no hassle.Absolutely terrific company.
Very Happy
By bargain hunter
from Ellicott City, MD
These mini blinds are extremely functional- let's in any amount of light you want--or not. We bought it for our family room. It sit below the level of 2 semi-circular windows. I thought about getting pricier roman shades but they are much more expensive and not nearly as versatile when it comes to adjusting the amount of light or view out to the back yard. Don't listen to designers that say that blinds are cheap--they just want you to spend more.
quality and easy

It was hard finding the right copper color miniblind to replace one that had seen better days. This was the best product and it slipped right in to the window with minimal fuss.
I will buy this product again.

This blind replaced an expensive blind that just came apart. This blind may be cheaper but only in price, the quality is far above the old one. I am extremely pleased with it.

I have these blinds all over my house. They were installed years ago and one of them finally broke. So wanted the same one again so they would match all the others. They arrived promptly and I installed them into the old brackets. They look great and function well.

Original blind that I ordered had to be replaced because the slats were curved and not level!!I've received the new blind and it is fine.
Great Color, Quality and Price!
By AZ Consumer
from Phoenix Metro, AZ
We already has 2 sets of these blinds in our master bedroom (purchased from another retailer 5 years ago) and loved them. We're now redecorating downstairs and wanted to get more to match. The Levelor "Copperite" color is difficult to find [...]The blinds are easy to use and clean and the "Lightblocker" option is definitely worth the additional cost. The only con is the bracket covers are very difficult to close once the blind is inserted. You'll need to have patience and muscle, lol.This blind was purchased for the dining room and we've had compliments from everyone who's seen them. Plus, you cannot beat Steve's price! It was almost 65% less than brick and mortar stores and 15% less than other online retailers. We're ordering more sets from Steve's for our entry windows.

Product quality was good except for the end mounting brackets. I thought they were a poor design. Fortunately the two strips that are used for the valance are bent on the ends to cover the bad looking end brackets.

Free Shipping on most Blind OrdersMost blind orders include FREE Ground Shipping to your home or office in the contiguous United States. Some manufacturers charge an oversized freight charge per order (regardless of the number of blinds) on extra wide blinds because they must use a special delivery company. The width when oversized freight charges apply varies depending on the manufacturer (usually it is around 95 inches or wider) and the charge may be up to $75 per manufacturer per order. M & B and Levolor do not charge oversized freight. Shutters have a freight charge due to the weight of the product. Most blind orders ship within 3 to 5 business days.

i really think LCD are incredibly mediocre live (saw them three times in different settings)... it always tainted my perception of them...
i've really warmed up to them on album though.
i really think LCD are incredibly mediocre live (saw them three times in different settings)... it always tainted my perception of them...

You have an incredibly wrong perception of them live!
That actually really surprises me, though. I've seen them 5 times in wildly different settings (Festival, opener, headlining in different venues) and they were always killer. Especially when they played before Arcade Fire at the Hollywood Bowl and completely blew them away.
They were awesome before Arcade Fire at red rocks. I think me and a handful of gays were the only ones getting our groove on though. Most of the crowd had no idea who they were, which was surprising.
At least an album without vocals will prevent garbage tracks like New York I Love You
*based upon tedious fact checking.
I heard they slayed Hollywood Bowl. Similar experience. Stood around the Sahara for 2 songs then left (did not feel like I was missing anything). Later heard the self titled and Sound of Silver, which had me doubting myself. I would have to see them again to say for sure that they are just so so in concert. James Murphy has DJ skills. This is a fact.

Whiskey Sour
2 oz blended whiskey
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1/2 tsp powdered sugar
1 cherry
1/2 slice lemon
Shake blended whiskey, juice of lemon, and powdered sugar with ice and strain into a whiskey sour glass. Decorate with the half-slice of lemon, top with the cherry, and serve.
That AF/LCD Bowl show was actually extremely chaotic where I was. Bottles being smashed on the Garden Box/pit barrier, people running and dancing on the concrete barrier, etc. I remember the AF set more distinctly but I remember loving them both.
Brad, I love you. But you're bringing me down.
It always takes me awhile to settle up close to an LCD release, but once I do, I love them pretty unconditionally.
i just recently started listening to their stuff. im looking forward to catching them live.
Saw them open for AF in Minny...they were amazing!!
liked them better than AF when they opened for them here in C Bus - I've seen them 3 times and they always rip it to shreds.
The Glitter Freeze
Coachella 99-10 Vet, the run has ended in 2011
A couple next to me at LCD in '07 flipped the band off and the woman laughed while asking me, "Why do you people like this shitty music?". Her boyfriend or whatever then looked at her and said, "Come on baby let's go to Tiesto."
After that I doubly enjoyed LCD's set on principle. I thought it was consistently fun and "Yeah" was absolutely ridiculous when they played it.
It dawned on me today that I am probably more excited for a new LCD album than I would be for a new Radiohead album. which, you know, for me, is saying a lot.
Indeed. A new LCD album in 2010 has me incredibly optimistic about next year.
Their music is really great and on Sound of Silver they really nailed it. From Berlin minimal to old school Chicago house. It covered all the bases of EDM. 2 great albums and that score they did for the Nike run all stellar.
Excellent live show.
I love James Murphy unconditionally and can't wait for this album There is a great article with some cool shots in the digital edition of URB this month...peep it, I'm too lazy to find it again.

Broadway Across America
Addams Family
November 13th - 18th, 2012
Capitol Theatre
Salt Lake City, Utah
On sale: 9/14/2012 at 10am.
Don't miss the national tour of the new musical THE ADDAMS FAMILY, based on the bizarre and beloved family of characters created by legendary cartoonist Charles Addams, making its Salt Lake City premiere November 11-18, 2012 at Capitol Theatre as part of the Broadway Across America - Utah 2012-2013 Season.
THE ADDAMS FAMILY, which began performances in March 2010 at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre and ran through December 2011, immediately became one of Broadway's biggest hits. Chris Jones of the Chicago Tribune described the production as "classic, full-tilt, fast paced, old-fashioned musical comedy!" and John Simon of Bloomberg News called it "uproarious! A glitzy-gloomy musical entirely worthy of the macabre drawings by Charles Addams."
THE ADDAMS FAMILY features a book by Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice, and music and lyrics by Andrew Lippa. The production is directed and designed (sets and costumes) by Phelim McDermott and Julian Crouch, with production supervision by Jerry Zaks and choreography by Sergio Trujillo. The production features lighting design by Natasha Katz, sound design by Acme Sound Partners and puppetry by Basil Twist.
THE ADDAMS FAMILY features an original story and it's every father's nightmare. Wednesday Addams, the ultimate princess of darkness, has grown up and fallen in love with a sweet, smart young man from a respectable family. A man her parents have never met. And if that weren't upsetting enough, she confides in her father and begs him not to tell her mother. Now, Gomez Addams must do something he's never done before - keep a secret from his beloved wife, Morticia. Everything will change for the whole family on the fateful night they host a dinner for Wednesday's "normal" boyfriend and his parents.
In a prolific career spanning six decades, Charles Addams created several thousand cartoons, sketches and drawings, many of which were published in The New Yorker. But it was his creation of characters that came to be known as The Addams Family that brought Addams his greatest acclaim. With a unique style that combined the twisted, macabre and just plain weird with charm, wit and enchantment, Addams' drawings have entertained millions worldwide and served as the inspiration for multiple television series and motion pictures.

RocketBallz Stage 2 Tour Rescue
Product Actions
Complete your bag
Additional Information
RocketBallz Rescues Just Got RocketBallz-IER
When we reinvigorated the hybrid category a decade ago with our legendary Rescue Mid, professional golfers on every tour quickly started replacing their long-irons with our hybrids, so much so that today you rarely see a 1-iron or 2-iron in a Tour pro's bag, and 3-irons are becoming increasingly rare as well.
We've taken everything we know about making the best hybrids in golf to create the RBZ Stage 2 Tour Rescue. It starts with the a beautiful low-profile head shape and low-forward CG location (same as the RBZ Stage 2 Rescue), then adds our Loft-sleeve technology so you can adjust the loft up or down by 1.5°. Your choice of a Matrix RocketFuel 80-gram or Matrix Altus 85-gram TP shaft.
TaylorMade Loft-Sleeve technology offers 7 standard and 5 upright loft options to add ±1.5° to the strandard loft. Rescue 3 loft is 18.5° (which can be adjusted up to 20° or down to 17°).
- Ultra-high strength TaylorMade RocketSteel supplied by Carpenter creates a thinner and faster-flexing face.
- Improved Speed Pocket design flexes faster to promote faster ball speed and more distance.
- Lower and more-forward CG location promotes faster ball speed, high launch and low spin.
- Black clubface, non-glare white crown and new crown graphic all promote easy alignment.
- 80-gram graphite shaft promotes increased feel and control.
- Grip: RBZ Lite Grip .600 - 45g

The terms "Collaborative Learning", "Cooperative Learning", and "Team-based Learning" are often used interchangeably, although they have slight differences in meaning and implementation practices.
Done well, cooperative learning can make the learning experience very enjoyable for both students and teacher and also result in marked improvements in learning. A joint study conducted by CMU, MIT and Union College showed that the collective intelligence of groups exceeds the cognitive abilities of individual group members. Other work by M. K. Smith et. al. (Science, vol 323, p. 122, 2 January 2009) and Chandralekha Singh (American Journal of Physics, vol. 73, no.5, p. 446, May 2005) show that students who work in groups can solve problems that none of the indiviiduals could solve on their own.
But many students dislike cooperative learning because of their past negative experiences with it. This is often because their instructors have used this method without putting into place the proper structures.
Necessary conditions for successful cooperative learning
Successful cooperative learning occurs when instructors make sure they have put into place structures and processes that ensure the following:
Part of the purpose of collaborative work is to help students become aware of, and develop, the kinds of interpersonal social skills required to work productively with others.
In addition to the above considerations, there are some other important issues that have to be considered before implementing cooperative learning.
Some links to other sources containing useful information on cooperative learning implementation
Collaborative Learning.
This link takes you to a very good site on this topic that addresses
the above questions. It explores all the important issues that arise
