Been watching Seinfeld this morning, and I've got to say I quite like the bits of his own standup - some very, very funny ideas.

I have to say my favorite right now would have to be Christopher Titus. Especially his latest CD "Neverlution" He always makes me laugh so hard I cry.

George Carlin was the funniest man to ever live in my opinion and humanity laughs less without him on this Earth! Lately, Louis CK has been making me laugh! Check him out on netflix!

I like Brian Regan and Jim Gaffigan. Both are hilarious and I can watch them with my family and not worry about being offended.

I've seen both Louis CK and Mike Birbiglia live-- I'd say they are my two favorites. I also love Bill Cosby, especially "Himself." I also like include Patton Oswalt and Mitch Hedberg,

Chimichurri Sauce
Chimichurri is an Argentinian green sauce made primarily from parsley. In addition to the parsley it commonly contains garlic, vinegar and red pepper flakes. Of course there are many variations on the sauce and it commonly includes other ingredients. I play around with this chimichurri recipe a lot but this is my favorite version so far. Chimichurri is nice and light and fresh and just packed with flavour and it goes really well on grilled meats, especially steak. With all of the fresh herbs, it certainly smacks of summer but I am still in denial so making some now was a great way to pretend that the cooling weather outside was just a figment of my imagination.
Chimichurri Sauce(makes 2 cups)
Printable Recipe
1 cup parsley (packed)
1/4 cup cilantro (packed)
1 tablespoon fresh oregano (chopped, optional)
4 cloves garlic (peeled)
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/4 teaspoon cumin (optional)
1/4 teaspoon hot smoked paprika (optional)
1/4 cup oil
2 tablespoon white wine vinegar
1/2 lemon (juice and zest)
salt and pepper to taste
1. Puree everything in a in a food processor.

Perinatal Infections transmitted by the Mother to her Infant: educational material for health person
|Sunday, 02 May 2010 22:54
Montevideo: CLAP/WR; 2008. (CLAP/WR. Scientific Publication; 1567.02)
This manual will review the updated information on the most common infectious diseases that the mother may transmit to her infant during pregnancy, at birth or by breast feeding the infant.
Pocket Guide Full text Español Portugues
Summary of this information will emphasize the basic knowledge of the pathogen, the disease, the burden of problems caused by the disease in the mother and her offspring, epidemiological aspects, and how to manage the disease. Most of the emphasis is directed to preventive measures, screening when interventions are available, and the detailed analysis of interventions during the preconceptional period, antenatal care, perinatal care and maternal and neonatal care after birth.
Two tables are presented that integrate all the principal components of management for diseases that are vertically transmissible:
Table I: VERTICAL INFECTIONS TRANSMITTED FROM THE MOTHERS TO THEIR INFANTS; SYSTEMATIC SCREENING AND INTERVENTIONS. This table summarizes for each infectious agent the route of transmission, the systematic maternal screening, the preconceptional and perinatal interventions, the systematic screening of neonates and the post natal interventions.
Table II. UNIVERSAL MEASURES TO PREVENT INFECTIONS DURING PREGNANCY. This table summarizes the preventive measures that every woman should follow in order to avoid an acute infection that may put her at risk of transmitting the infection to her infant during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
The table includes specific recommendations regarding contact with adults, including sexual contact, contact with blood products, contact with children, precautions with food and environmental risks, and work related risks.
This manual discusses each of the most common infections transmitted vertically from the mother to her offspring. It contains information on asymptomatic bacteriuria because, although it is not a vertically transmitted disease, its screening and treatment contributes to a decrease in the risk of premature birth.
The final chapter of this manual is a brief reference to the Perinatal Information System, currently used in all the countries of the LA&C region, distributed free by the Pan American Health Organization. The Perinatal Clinical Record and Maternal Antenatal Card register useful information on many of these infections and help to assess several indicators related to the burden of the problem and its management in health services.

Panama City can be difficult to navigate at first. The city has a public bus system, but signage is only in the local language, and although the city is currently upgrading its fleet, the old buses can be crowded and confusing for newcomers. Taxis are the most common way to get around in Panama City, as an average ride is roughly US$3 to most parts of the city. Taxis are not metered, and can be hailed on the street or ordered by phone (although a dispatch fee is often charged). Taxis can also be hired at an hourly or weekly rate, which can be cost-effective for frequent sightseeing and dining trips. Rental cars are available, but the local driving is very aggressive and self-driving can be the source of frustration rather than convenience.
Electrical current is 120 volts, 60Hz. Flat two-pin plugs are the norm.
The official currency is the Panamanian Balboa (PAB), equal to 100 centesimos, but US Dollars are accepted everywhere at a rate of B1 = US$1. Balboa are available only in coin denominations. The only paper currency used is US dollars. It is easy to exchange currency in Panama at banks, exchange shops, hotels and the airport. Avoid the black market. The best rates are offered at the larger banks. Old, creased and dirty foreign notes may be refused for exchange. Most major credit cards are widely accepted. There are many ATMs in Panama City. Banks are usually open from 8am to 1.30pm on weekdays.
The international access code for Panama is +507. Coin and card-operated public telephones are available, cards being sold at stores and vending machines. Cell phone providers offer GSM networks, and there are roaming agreements with most international mobile operaters. There are several internet service providers in Panama and internet cafes are widely available in Panama City.
Emergencies: 104 (Police); 103 (Ambulance).

Humidity is generally high, especially during the rainy season, which is between October and November. The best time to travel to Panama City is between December and March.

Car hire companies represented in the arrivals hall are Alamo, Avis, Barriga, Budget, Dollar, Hertz, National and Thrifty.
Regular taxis operate day and night at fixed prices depending on the number of passengers, but are not metered. An average rate for 1-2 people into Panama City is US$25, for three or more it's US$10 per person. The taxi rank is outside the arrivals area.
There is a bank and ATM on the departure level. A restaurant and coffee bar are situated on the mezzanine overlooking departures, and snack bars in arrivals. Last-minute gifts can be bought at several stores on the first and second floors, including duty-free. Baggage storage is available, and information booths are located in arrivals.
Parking at Tocumen International Airport costs just 3c per minute for the first hour, 2c per minute for one to five hours, and 1c per minute for over five hours.
No wifi services are currently available, but internet services are available at a charge of US$2.50 per hour.

Let the blood flow, my friends.
Each person gets 15 points to start out with.
Anyone can add/take away a point per post, even the dead.
Also, you have to wait a half an hour to post again, unless two other people have posted after you. It does not matter whether the posts were in-game or chitchat.
Max points are 25.
The winner is the last one left alive.
No adding points to yourself, unless you have one of the weapon upgrades.
If you do not post at least once every 5 pages, you will be killed and your points evenly distributed amongst the other players.
You cannot revive yourself or another player, unless you have the revival ability.
Duels are in a effect. You can declare a duel on someone and if that person accepts, you guys can fight each other without interference from people outside of the duel. You guys can also attack people out of the duels without retaliation. However, duels are not cancelable and if they don't end within 30 posts since they started, both duelists will be killed.
You are allowed to use point cancelling once in the game, where you can erase some of your points in exchange for taking as many points +1 from a person/people.
Ex: Henchy-10 pts; Ura- 3pts. Henchy uses pt cancel -> Henchy 10-2=8; Ura 3-3=0
You can also declare a final curse on a person who kills you if you declare it within 10 minutes of your death. This will cause the cursed person to lose a point every turn.
You can also buy abilities/upgrades from the Point Market in exchange for some of their points.
Abilities/upgrades for sale are:
-weapons upgrade that allows you to take/add 1 more point per turn than before (7 pts).
This can be bought multiple times to increase attack/defense power.
-10 post point freeze (5 pts)
Allows user to preserve his/her point value through the 10 posts after the point freeze is used. The buyer can cast this point freeze on him/herself or cast it on someone else.
-player conversion to make other players your allies (15 pts)
The converted player can play as a normal player, but they cannot attack the person who converted them or add points to a person attacking his/her converter.
-revival (15 pts)
Buyer can revive a dead player and leave them alive with 5 points with this. The buyer can cast this on another person or use it on themselves postmortem.
*These abilities/upgrades can be purchased via PMs or publicly and multiple can be bought at a time. You can also cast them at any time you see suitable, but declare the cast to me via PM or publicly.
*If you decide to do either of these privately, note that the point difference should be shown in your next post in the game and that you tell me the # of the last post before you bought or activated the ability.
Players & Start points:
1) infamouse 15
2) sakura_hana 15
3) darkus-s6 15
4) Raszagal 15
5) Henchy432 15
6) Kiamnenieh 15
7) R3dKnight 15
_Vincent_ 15
9) Razor (game master) 15

Phoronix: First X.Org Server 1.15 Snapshot Released
Keith Packard has announced the release of xorg-server 184.108.40.206, the first X.Org Server 1.15 development snapshot ahead of the official release in the second half of 2013...
Isn't this release supposed to include xwayland stuff??
Wow already, and AMD still only supports 1.13
Give us XWayland damnit!
Hurry up already!
AMD's OSS driver is....eh though the UVD support does make it more attractive.
AMD's closed source driver is very slow to support new X releases and new kernels.
I would like to thank Keith and all the other people behind this great project. Thank you guys.
i don't understand. isnt xwayland supposed to be merged by October. if they miss the date, then fedora isn't gonna be able to ship wayland by may next year, right?
My next notebook will have an Nvidia GPU - no matter how much more it costs me!!

This tutorial is designed to teach developers how to create an update server for integration with the update system introduced in Joomla! 1.6. By adding an update server listing to your extension's manifest, developers enable users to update their extensions via the Extension Manager's Update view with only a few clicks.
In order to use this feature, an update server must be defined in your extension's manifest. This definition can be used in all Joomla! 1.6 and 1.7 compatible extensions but is not available for templates. You can use two options for your server type; collection or extension. These will be explained in detail shortly. The update server is defined as follows for each type:
<server type="collection">http://example.com/list.xml</server>
<server type="extension" priority="2" name="My Extension's Updates">http://example.com/extension.xml</server>
Multiple servers can be defined within the <updateservers> tag.
The collection server type allows developers to define an extension's manifest to pull updates from a collection. This type of server can be used if the developer wants to define all of their extension's updates in a single file (not recommended) or if their extension has multiple sub-extensions which are not distributed or updated at the same time (such as a package extension type). The below example is the collection definition used by the updater when processing core Joomla! updates:
<extensionset name="Joomla Core" description="Joomla! Core">
<extension name="Joomla" element="joomla" type="file" version="1.7.0" detailsurl="http://update.joomla.org/core/extension.xml"/>
All definitions must be defined between <extensionset> tags in your collection manifest. The <extensionset> tag has two optional parameters; name and description. For each extension that this collection references, a separate <extension> tag is required. The <extension> tag has the following parameters, all of which are required for updates to properly process:
The extension server type allows developers to define an extension's manifest to pull updates from a single extension's manifest. All collection manifests eventually point to this XML file. All updates in this file must be defined after an <updates> tag at the beginning of the file. The below example is the update definition for the Joomla! 1.7.0 release:
<name>Joomla! 1.7</name>
<description>Joomla! 1.7 CMS</description>
<infourl title="Joomla!">http://www.joomla.org/</infourl>
<downloadurl type="full" format="zip">http://joomlacode.org/gf/download/frsrelease/15279/66552/Joomla_1.6.5_to_1.7.0_Package.zip</downloadurl>
<maintainer>Sam Moffatt</maintainer>
<targetplatform name="joomla" version="1.6"/>
The following section describes the elements of a single update entity.
A separate <update> definition will be required for each version of your extension you release.
Maintaining your update server files can be difficult depending on the manner in which you set up your files. An extension which can help you to maintain this is the Akeeba Release System, available free of charge from https://www.akeebabackup.com

Lie Down in the Darkness, Rise up from the Ash: 15. House of Glass
"Who goes there?" The question, voiced quietly–perhaps too quietly for mortal ears to distinguish easily–seemed yet loud in the utter silence, and Legolas gazed into the darkness. Another had come, of that he was certain, and he liked not the way that his heart raced at the thought.
"Welcome, Master Elf, to the House of Éorl," said a smooth voice. Too smooth! Legolas felt it lick over him, as if coating him with some foul substance, and he shivered.
"Wormtongue!" Every instinct screamed at him to move, but the Elf's body felt terribly lax and refused to obey. He felt his breath coming now harder, as if with panic, and Legolas struggled for composure.
"Ah yes… Wormtongue. You learned that of Éomer, wretched boy that he is! Whispering in the background, spreading rumors… for shame!" Wormtongue's voice trailed off in a cackle, and Legolas would have spit if he had been able. But he seemed divorced from his body, or else imprisoned in it–either way, such feelings were alien to Elves, and the prince wondered fearfully if Gríma had somehow divined a way to take advantage of the break in his own integrity.
Surely not! Not even Aragorn, I think, would know enough to deliberately force me away from myself…! There were ways, of course, and some were quite simple, but so far as Legolas could tell, he had not been injured in some further way. As for the more complex…. Why would a mortal in these waning days need to learn them? And if a Ranger raised among Elves knows naught of them, whence would a Man of Rohan come by such knowledge? "We are taught to fear the Elves: sorcerers, luminous beings endowed with a strength far beyond that of men. And yet the Elves fail! Year by year, your numbers decrease and you fall into your world of dreams. So very fragile you are, in truth. So very… very… delicate…Legolas!"
And with each hissing word, Legolas felt as though the breath were being drawn out of him, and though he struggled and gasped, what rushed now into his lungs was not air, but the darkness that he hated. Thick as sap, it clung to him, and as sensation returned to his body, the Elf clawed frantically at the stuff. To no avail: like tar or peat, the darkness flowed over him, getting into his eyes, clogging his ears and nose, coating his mouth and sliding down his throat to sit heavy in his lungs and stomach.
I am not yours! he snarled in silence, struggling against the sensation of drowning. An Elf is no part of this Shadow–I will be no part of it! It shall be no part of me! But it was a part of him: it was in him, this palpable shadow, and as it infused itself into his blood, he could feel its corruptive influence. Like poison… like pain… Stop!… leave me alone!… Valar help me, is this the age that Men fear? Legolas wondered blindly, feeling his struggles growing more feeble as the darkness enveloped him in a warm cocoon. Nay, worse! Like an insect in a spider's web am I, awaiting the bite! For before him now lay the Other Path, spoken of with dread among Elves and in whispers if at all. The Other Path… the way of twisted kinship… the way of Orcs… NO!–
–And Legolas woke suddenly, just in time to grunt in anguish as he hit the floor hard and jarred his shoulder. The shock of that unexpected impact held him immobile for a good several minutes while he panted and shivered, scarcely able to fathom how he had ended up on the carpet. Shadow shapes danced and writhed behind his eyelids when he squeezed them shut and refused to dissipate entirely when he reopened them to take in the room from his new perspective. What happened? The answer to that question might seem absurdly simple to a Man: clearly, Legolas had had a nightmare, no more and no less. Vivid, yes, but after all that he had seen and suffered, it was surely nothing to be ashamed of or wondered at.
Aragorn, having been raised in Imladris, might have been suspicious of such an easy explanation. Indeed, ere the Third Age, no high lord of Gondor or Arnor would have taken lightly the announcement that an Elf had been plagued by horrific dreams. For the way of the Elves is different from that of Men, and memory, dream, and waking life are not so clearly distinguished or distinguishable among them. It was a rare thing that an Elf should lose control of his dream-life to the point of suffering a nightmare, and bespoke some serious trouble.
Worse, it bespeaks some other–alien–influence, Legolas thought grimly as he picked himself up off of the ground at last. For if elvish dreams lay largely within the control of the dreamer, the rare instances when they did not were either indicative of deep divisions within the elvish soul or else of meddling by some other entity. Gríma Wormtongue… it seemed so very real, as if he spoke in his own voice! I wonder…. Legolas brooded silently, cradling his right arm carefully against the ache. I would not have thought that… that worm… to have such power in him. But certain it is that where he rules, there lies a thicker darkness, a more concealing shade. Is it possible that he is more dangerous than I had thought? What has happened in this place, that such a creature could be admitted to the highest courts of the land?
To such questions, he had no answers as of yet, but he intended to have them ere the night ended. Legolas had no need of a clock, nor of the long shadows that the setting sun made as its rays filtered through the windows to know that dusk came swiftly. And with dusk would come Éowyn and a visit to the dungeons of Edoras, which meant that he ought not to tarry here. With an effort, Legolas focused his mind on the present, refusing to let his attention wander off along the thousand spread out tendrils of sickly coiled darkness.
I feel dirty! Which, after the long and exhausting journey he had undertaken, might seem self-evident, but that memory of nightmarish grime left him feeling as if the filth of an Age riddled through with Sauron's waxing malice lay still upon his skin. A swift exploration of the room revealed the necessary supplies for a bath, and though his shoulder throbbed dully as he moved, he managed to get the water into the tub without re-opening the cut.
Leaving his clothes and the bandages on the floor, he quickly submerged himself, relishing the feel of something clean against his body. Once, when he had first met Aragorn and begun to learn of the strange ways of mortals, the Ranger had told him that Men often thought of Elves as being somewhat effete.
"Elvish polish and universal concern with aestheticism seem in their minds the product of self-absorption," the Dúnadan had said, with a shrug that Legolas had interpreted as being between sadness and amusement for the misperception. To Legolas's mind, while the Bardings were not an ignoble folk, their rougher ways were certainly no improvement on "effete" elvish custom, particularly as regarded bathing. And if water could not cleanse him of the darkness that lay about him, it could lighten his mood enough to make the former bearable. Once he felt he had managed to remove as much of the dirt as he could without scrubbing his hide off, Legolas clambered out, emptied the dirty water, refilled the tub, and threw his clothes in to soak for a bit. Drying himself off with the towel provided, he then went and rummaged through his pack, dressing quickly, for he knew not how much time he had ere Éowyn arrived.
Bandages proved difficult to set in place alone, but somehow he managed the feat, and then slipped a cream-colored shirt on, followed by a dark green, sleeveless tunic that he belted into place. Returning to the washroom, the Elf finished the necessary laundry and spread the garments out to dry on the rack provided. He dragged a comb through his hair, grimacing as the teeth caught on tangles, and wondered how his companions fared. Have they found Merry and Pippin, I wonder? Legolas hoped so–fervently, desperately hoped so. And he hoped also that Aragorn and Gimli had met with nothing ill-intentioned in the fabled Entwood. I should have liked to see Fangorn, he thought, and smiled a bit, hearing in his mind a dozen, rough-voiced dwarven responses to that. Dear Gimli, I never thought I should miss a Dwarf's company more than that of my brothers. At least you have Aragorn for company, and need not go to a dungeon to see him!
By the time he had finished getting the snarls out of his hair, the sun was no more than a smudge of red on the western horizon, but the Elf drifted out onto the balcony anyway. Standing there, he gazed out at Meduseld's golden roof, and he wondered that so fair an edifice could contain within it so dark a heart. Yet in spite of the sickness that lay upon this city, the wind that ruffled his damp hair carried to him the sounds of life–voices raised in laughter at some intimate joke, or the cheery greeting of friends as they called to each other. A song picked up in the yard below–The innkeep?–and though Legolas could understand naught of the words, he closed his eyes and listened; and after hearing the chorus once, he added his voice–a low, wordless exhalation of harmony, sweet and distinct from the voices of Men. Even here, not all is darkness, he thought. I must remember that, when my hope runs low!
At that moment, there came a knock upon his door, and he turned away from the view. "Come!" he invited, and was not surprised when Éowyn appeared, bearing with her a tray set for two.
"A fair welcome," Éowyn said as she set the tray on a low table and indicated that he should join her. "I fear this is poor recompense for the song, but I think none of us told you of the hours that the innkeeper holds here, and we shall likely be gone long past them. Eat, unless Elves need but a tune to live off of!"
"Music is as the air, but air alone does not suffice," Legolas replied glibly and came to join her. "Thank you for the company."
"I would rather yours than another meal alone," Éowyn replied rather darkly. "And we must speak in any case ere we dare the gaoler's questions." She paused to break bread and dipped a morsel in her soup. "Éomer's case cannot be held for very long without judgment, so we shall have few opportunities to speak with him ere his fate is decided. Such haste is the law of this land, which decrees that a man may not be held for more than five days before he makes his plea before the king. For an honorable man is needed always and quickly, and it would be cruel if by too lengthy a wait his honor were to be questioned unduly."
"And what of those who are not honorable?"
"Then best that we learn of the fault quickly and move to be rid of it," Éowyn replied simply. "Since Éorl rode to the succor of Gondor, this has been our way. Those of Minas Tirith call us swift, but they have their own traditions. In any case, I have not much time to decide what must be done, and in such matters, Éomer will have much to say."
"What is your place here, my lady?" Legolas asked, cocking a pale brow at her.
"I am the king's servant, the lady of his hall for he has no wife any more, and Théodred never wed. In former times, such was a position of honor, but of late it, like much else, has fallen into disrepute," the other said bitterly.
"But you serve your brother also."
"Only insofar as it is granted me to speak now and then with the king unremarked, or with the marshals and others who go about this court. I may not speak on his behalf in court, though. Not as I am!"
"And what are you?"
"Are Elves blind, or have they no children?" Éowyn asked, seeming both puzzled and amused by the question.
"Ah." Legolas was not often at a loss for words, but in the face of his tablemate's reply, he knew not what might be the appropriate thing to say.
"In any case, should any ask you why you go to see the Third Marshal, say only that you wished to thank him for his pains. And I, who have been commanded to see to your needs, do but facilitate the meeting. None shall believe us, but it shall be difficult to challenge the excuse. For you do wish to thank him, do you not?"
"Of course."
"And I wish to do my duty," Éowyn gave a thin smile that made the Elf blink, recognizing in those sharp blue eyes a predatory amusement and defiance that he was accustomed to see only in warriors. "The guard shall finish its meal and return to its place in perhaps a half an hour. We shall therefore wait an hour ere we make our attempt."
"If I may ask, you said you would see to it that we need not seek permission from the warden…."
"And we shall not need to do so," Éowyn replied firmly.
"How did you manage that?" Legolas asked.
"Gríma controls the king and all posts of any power or influence in court, either directly or through the pressure that he can bring to bear upon those who hold them. But he is a man, and pays little heed to lesser posts," Éowyn said enigmatically. And that is all the answer I am likely to receive, the Elf thought. He bowed his head slightly, conceding the round, and set to work clearing his plate. The two of them ate in silence for a time, occasionally glancing up to stare at each other. Always, Éowyn would look away first, but Legolas found it fascinating that she continued to dare his gaze, for many refused to do so after but a single rebuff. "Is there aught that you would know of Rohan, my lord prince?" Éowyn asked after a time.
"There is much I would know, but tell me this, if you can: how did Gríma Wormtongue come to have such influence? From all that I have seen of the Rohirrim, which is admittedly little," Legolas said, "they seem a proud folk, and not one easily led astray. How is it possible, then, that Rohan tolerates a Wormtongue?"
"You ask a question that many ask, and even the great and those accounted wise among us hesitate to answer it. In the beginning, he came to his position through his inheritance, as is usual, for he was born to a high family. He served well enough as a Rider and later as a captain, though with no particular distinction. Some say," and Éowyn gave a soft bark of laughter at this, "some say that that was ever his way: to serve with no particular distinction. He is as one of the fabled southern lizards that can take the color of any setting and so pass unseen. Know you of these creatures?"
"I fear we have none in Mirkwood, and from the deep south there comes little news and we seek not after it. Aragorn would know," Legolas replied.
"Ask him then, for I, too, would know the truth of old tales. But I stray!" Éowyn berated herself gently with a toss of her proud head. "Gríma was ever posted to the west, and often patrolled far up the Isen, for the Orcs were wont to come southeast from the tail end of the Misty Mountains, that we call the Grauberge. For a time, he was Théoden's messenger to Isengard, and perhaps that was how he was ensnared, I know not. 'Tis a strange thing, but many of the officers who served him in the field died shortly after he began his ambassadorship. An odd coincidence that many now see as contrivance, but the deaths are already so old that no evidence can be found of foul play, and at the time, there was no real cause for suspicion.
"It was only after councilors began to die as well that men looked askance at him, but by then it was too late. For it seemed that after he began his duties as a councilor that he had found in speech what he lacked as a warrior: skill and passion. He soon had the court under his thumb and Théoden round his finger, bent like a ring!" Legolas could not quite forbear to grimace at the unwitting but too apt analogy, and for an instant, Frodo's tormented face leapt clearly to mind. Courage, my friend! And safety, wherever you may be at this moment! "So it stands even now, and no one dares to challenge him. Yet! For he cannot stand forever. Soon enough, men will rebel but who can say whether it shall not be once more too late?"
"And Éomer would have been their leader, these would-be rebels."
"He would have, yes," Éowyn replied softly and bowed her head a moment. Legolas stared at her a long moment, suspicious of what had not been said. After a moment, she raised her eyes to his once more, seeming once again the cold-faced maiden who kept all at a courteous distance. "Eat, Legolas of Mirkwood! I would not have it said that you found our hospitality so ill that you fainted for lack of sustenance!"
"An Elf would never be so ill-mannered, my lady," he murmured even as he obeyed.
"Something to remember, doubtless," she replied with a slight smile.
It was full dark when Edoras' first lady and Mirkwood's youngest prince entered Meduseld by a side door and went calmly through its many halls to its southernmost corridor. There opened off of it a small door, one hardly to be noticed, and there Éowyn paused. "Do as I do, and say nothing if you can avoid it," she instructed. Pulling the door open, she grasped her skirts by one hand and raised the lantern with the other as she began the descent. Legolas followed carefully, and forced himself to focus, though the darkness seemed so close about him it threatened to steal his breath once more. I am not of the darkness, and it is no part of me! he repeated to himself, and said naught as he went down in his guide's wake. At the bottom of the stairs there stood several men: guards, clearly, and as the two of them rounded the blind corner, they closed ranks against them, blocking the door. Éowyn ignored the lot of them, striding straight up to their commander, who frowned deeply at her presence.
"My lady, this is no place for such as you," the man said gruffly in Rohirric.
"I come to bring a visitor to the Third Marshal, captain," Éowyn replied coldly in Westron. "Legolas, Prince of Mirkwood, and a guest of my family, would thank the Marshal for his aid and consideration. Alas, the prince speaks not our tongue and knows not our ways, so I have come to guide him. Let us pass, captain."
"I have had no orders concerning this…." the man stalled.
"And you must always have orders in order to decide anything?" Éowyn shot back, and Legolas did not miss the grins on the faces of some of the soldiers. Someone sniggered, and their captain shot a dark look over his shoulder. Admittedly, the scene was ridiculous: the captain alone outmassed Éomund's fair daughter twice over, and was armed as well, but Éowyn stood proudly and her disdainful glance informed all present that she viewed the entire detail as no better than errant boys playing at soldiering.
She is taller than she seems, Legolas thought, realizing that Éowyn had not to raise her chin very high to stare directly into her opponent's face. The captain flushed, whether in embarrassment or fury it was difficult to say, but the effect was impressive and Legolas had sternly to command his face not to twitch, his lips not to smile at the other's discomfiture. "Come, open the door and let us pass! Or send to the warden to ask his permission."
"I may not, my lady, he is… indisposed."
"I see. Then please consult with yourself and come to a decision. The night grows older, captain!" Éowyn said, letting a touch of scathing contempt and impatience color her tone.
The captain was silent a moment longer, but then he gave a sigh and jerked the key ring from his belt. "Stand aside," he ordered his men, who fell back willingly before their captain's temper and their lady's scorn. "You shall vouch for him, my lady? As he cannot vouch for himself…."
"Of course, captain. Come, my lord prince," Éowyn beckoned imperiously and swept into the low-ceilinged corridor beyond, turning left without a backwards glance. The door slammed shut behind them, and Legolas shivered slightly, wishing he had Gimli beside him. A Dwarf would not find the cramped, subterranean corridor daunting, but Legolas found the space claustrophobically tight. His father's halls had prison cells which, like the rest of the city, were below ground, but the Elves had delved carefully so that free air could flow through all areas of the city, and even the dungeon had a vaulted ceiling, else no Elf would have stayed there for long, even to guard it. Soon Gimli shall come, the prince comforted himself. And I must not be found wanting in the mean time! 'Tis but this injury that makes of this unease more than it is. So he told himself and followed Éowyn, who seemed to know precisely where she went.
"Éomer shall be in the back, where traitors are kept," the woman of Rohan said over her shoulder. "'Tis not far! Come! Swiftly!"
Éomer sat upon the plank that served as both bed and bench, back wedged into the corner, eyes closed, one leg drawn up to his chest while the other dangled over the edge. He had his arms clasped about the one knee, his chin rested on his forearms, and his chest felt hollow with grief and hopelessness. Since his incarceration earlier that day, he had paced his tiny cell one hundred and seventy-three times (that he had counted), brooding on the misfortunes of his house and country. And when he had lost patience with the repetitive nature of his thoughts, he had tried his best to divert himself: humming old tunes that he had long loved; playing chess in his head and losing with every victory; trying to calculate the costs of grain for the next year if the weather held; speculating on the bets men had probably already placed on the spring races that were always held in the Mark; wondering whether anyone had seen to Firefoot; counting horses in his head as he had as a boy when he had been unable to sleep; and finally adding long chains of numbers for no particular reason except that it kept him busy.
But eventually, his thoughts had turned to darker things in spite of himself. Grief for Théodred had descended with such suddenness it had caught him by surprise, and in the lonely confines of his cell, he had wept for the cousin who had been his friend and guide since he had been a child. And what of Éowyn? He worried incessantly over her, cursing Gríma in the darkness, and had swiftly discovered that in spite of years spent among the earthy Riders of the Mark, his vocabulary was not so extensive as he might wish in this instance. As his defenses wore swiftly down, even his usual restless energy had abandoned him, and he had sunk into a sort of bleak state of attente, waiting for the axe to fall, knowing it must, and wishing only that the farce of a trial were over already.
For though Éomer was no coward, his was not a spirit to withstand confinement for long. All his training had prepared him for the field, for the hardships of war and the trials, physical and spiritual, that accompanied it. To sit and wait for doom to come and claim him, unable to do aught to prevent it or even to forestall it, did violence to one accustomed to think in terms of what damage he might do his enemy ere he perished. To die without having managed to accomplish anything struck him as dreadful in a way that even a painful deterioration did not. Wormtongue could not have devised a worse torture for me had he tried, Éomer thought grimly. How long shall he make this period of waiting stretch? The full five days? And how many more, if the trial is drawn out? But how could it be, for if Gríma would be certain of me, he must paint me a villain so deep in treachery there can be no chance of redemption! That should not take him more than a day or two, for did I not give him the means with my law-breaking? Which still left him with a minimum of seven days in this hole, and he shuddered in horror at the thought.
In an attempt to sooth his nerves, Éomer strove to make his mind as blank as the fresh-fallen snow, to find that space of focused calm whence he could control his frustration, leash his anger and despair, and forget for a time his worry. But for all that he tried, it seemed that he needed a solid threat to inspire him, and he could not fight a cage. Drawing a deep breath, he held it 'til spots danced behind his eyelids, then exhaled slowly, wishing that he could empty himself of emotion so readily. I would serve my king honorably, he thought bitterly. I would die for the Mark, and I would give whatever I have to help those who fight against the malice of Sauron and his creatures, be they wizard or orc or worse than that! I have tried to do these things, but I cannot cure the cancer that strangles this realm, nor fight an enemy who wraps himself in royal authority. What shall become of Éowyn? What of those who have promised to come to Edoras? I would not see Gimli or Aragorn harmed, and I suppose as it stands I shall not! But what shall become of them? And of Legolas? I was–am– so sick of hiding and seeking ever the secret way. And in the end it mattered not! Here sit I, waiting….
"This way!" A voice broke through his dark reverie, and Éomer felt his spine stiffen as he jerked his head up and his eyes flew open. Éowyn? But surely the warden would not let her in, for the Third Marshal knew well the man's reputation as Wormtongue's creature. Light shone forth, coming from some ways up the corridor, and Éomer slowly unfolded from his position, hardly daring to hope as the sound of light footsteps reached him. "Éomer!"
"Éowyn!" Coming to his feet, he took two strides to reach the doorway, and he gripped the bars as the footsteps increased their pace, breaking into a run. The light grew brighter, and then his sister's tall form appeared. No more welcome sight had he ever seen than her face in that instant, and as she thrust her arms through the bars, he grasped her hands tightly, bringing them to his chest as he leaned against the cross bars, brother and sister ignoring the barrier in search of each other. "Éowyn…."
"Hush! I know, you would not have me stay, but brother, your authority stands in shambles, I fear, and I for one shall take advantage of that!" she replied, and her brother managed a laugh for the show of spirit.
"Hellcat!" Éomer retorted lovingly. "But how is it that you are come?"
"She poisoned the warden," a new voice said, and the Third Marshal, startled, lifted his head to gaze past his sister to where Legolas stood holding a lantern. The elven prince bent his bright eyes upon Éowyn, and he cocked a fair brow. "Is that not so, my lady?"
"The warden is indisposed," Éowyn replied, which did naught to confirm or deny the accusation.
"Éowyn… you did not…." Éomer stammered, caught between admiration and an appalled disbelief.
"I did nothing to the warden," she replied, and cast a glance back over her shoulder. "Did I not say to remain silent?"
"You also said that Gríma was a man," which meant nothing to Éomer, who could not fathom how so banal a truth could be significant.
"And you, being an Elf, are not so blind, is that it?" Éowyn demanded, and Legolas gave a half-smile, bowing slightly in acknowledgment.
"You came from the kitchens, and you serve the king often. Is that not what you told me?"
"You poisoned the warden?" the Third Marshal demanded. And seeing that Éowyn began to reiterate her denial, impatiently added, "Or you had another do so! A small difference in the eyes of the law, Éowyn, for Béma's sake! What possessed you?"
"Doubtless the same reckless impulse that led you here, brother, so do not reprimand me!" Éowyn's eyes flashed. "The warden shall be quite well by morning. Besides, we have not time for such trivial matters."
"Why have you come? Both of you?" Éomer sighed, accepting that there was naught he could do to change his sister's actions.
"I came to thank you for your aid and consideration," Legolas replied smoothly, which seemed for some reason to amuse Éowyn greatly. "And I do! But we would speak of Edoras and Rohan as well. Your sister has sharp ears and fears not to remember all that she hears. It seems that the force that overwhelmed Théodred's men was quite large."
"So I had been told," Éomer replied. "I fear that if it is not countered, and soon, then our forces shall be divided. As it comes out of Isengard, we have no way of knowing whether it constitutes the bulk of Saruman's strength in arms or if he has still more men to throw at us."
"How soon could this army reach us here?"
"If its captain kept a swift pace and shortened the rest stops, I doubt not that it could reach Edoras in little more than two days. But that assumes they mean first to strike at us here: some men will have escaped the wreck of the Fords of Isen, I doubt not, and they will have retreated to Helm's Deep. Saruman's captain may decide to invest the keep, but he need not use the whole of his strength to do that. If he leaves a few companies there, it may be enough, and then he could continue south with the rest to raze Edoras."
"How likely is it that he would do this?" Legolas asked, frowning as he considered this unsettling speculation.
"It is what I would do, were I in command," Éomer replied with a shrug. "Helm's Deep is well known as Erkenbrand's stronghold. But Erkenbrand it was who sent messages to Edoras with the news, and who begged for such help as could be spared. I doubt not that the straits are dire, for Elfhelm has not returned, or had not when I was sent here. I suppose there is no news on that account?" And Éomer glanced at Éowyn now.
"I fear not even a whisper has come south," she replied. "But that does not calm the whispers at home. Fear is in the air, and men look north with dread, awaiting the tidings of loss. You know well whereof I speak, Éomer."
"The Fords are at once an asset and a liability," the Marshal explained for the benefit of the their guest. "They are not easily defended because of the lie of the land. It seems clear that this attack was well-planned, and I doubt not that Saruman knows well how to exploit the weakness of those who may not maneuver freely. In any case, if Erkenbrand would reinforce and cover the escapes of the Fords, then Helm's Deep is open. Saruman need only prevent those within it from escaping, and then he could take Edoras at will, for with so much of our strength arrayed to the west already, we are weak here at home."
"Two days, three at the most," Legolas murmured, shaking his fair head. "If we had to make a stand here, what chance would you give us?"
"Without aid, our chances dwindle to nothing," the other replied grimly. "Worse, even had we help, whom would our people follow? There is no one left, save Háma, but he is not known widely enough to command the attention of men in a panic. If the king will not lead us, then I fear we are lost ere the battle is even begun!" He squeezed Éowyn's hands tightly against the anguish that rose in him at such a pronouncement.
"There must be some way…." Legolas trailed off, cocking his head suspiciously.
"What is it?" Éowyn demanded, glancing over her shoulder.
"Someone comes. I heard the door open," the prince said softly.
"Perhaps they come for another," Éomer suggested, but quickly fell silent. The trio waited, tense, and to Legolas, even their breathing seemed too loud. He would have shuttered the lamp but that that would seem incriminating if the newcomer expected to find them here. And Éomer's words aside, I heard no other sounds as we came. I think he must be the only prisoner in this section of the dungeons at least, he thought. Minutes seemed to drag by, and Legolas closed his eyes. For whether or not his human companions could hear it, the footsteps that he had tracked since the door's creak were coming unerringly towards them, and the Elf felt a shiver pass through him as the shade seemed to grow deeper. "Elbereth Gilthoniel!" he breathed, opening his eyes again.
"What say you?" Éowyn asked from behind him, but the Elf did not reply. Soon enough, the sound of another's measured tread grew clear even to brother and sister, and with it the knowledge that there was no escape.
And as the visitor rounded the bend, flanked by two of the warden's men, Éomer cursed softly under his breath, while Éowyn went rigid. Legolas alone did not flinch, but stared eye to eye, unblinking and unmoving, with Gríma Wormtongue. The king's councilor swiftly looked away, his gaze wandering to Éomer and then to Éowyn, who still stood clasping hands through the bars of the cell. "The dungeons are no place for a lady," Wormtongue said, and smiled thinly.
"Nor is it a place for my brother, but if he must stay here, then I shall visit him," Éowyn replied tautly. "You may not deny me that at least!"
"But I think that you have had long enough, and a place such as this so quickly takes its toll on a fragile spirit," Gríma responded smoothly, stepping closer to the pair. And when Éowyn made no move to leave, he added, in a tone that would brook no argument, "'Tis time you left, my lady. We shall speak of this later."
"Farewell for a time, then, brother," she said, refusing to address Gríma and turning instead to Éomer once more. Freeing a hand, she reached up and touched his face lightly, giving him a brief smile ere she stepped away and went to stand at Legolas's side.
"Take care of her," Éomer replied, but looked to Legolas, and the Elf gave a bare nod. That set his heart somewhat at ease, and he glared at the councilor balefully, earning a slight snort of contemptuous laughter for his bravado.
"Come, Éowyn, my lord prince," Gríma said, gesturing for them to precede him. "I would speak with you both. Pleasant dreams, Éomer!"
Éomer spat on the ground in the councilor's wake, clutching hard at the bars, swearing to himself. Damn his eyes! He did not miss the way that Gríma hovered over Éowyn as they left, standing far too close, and he felt a wordless, primordial rage rise within him. If he should touch her… ! Leaning against the bars, he felt the metal cool against throbbing temples. Éowyn was not safe in Edoras, and with his confinement, she stood as if naked before Gríma's malice, and Éomer winced at his own choice of words. Éowyn! he despaired, while a brother's love and fear stabbed at his conscience. But there was naught he could do save wait and brood… and dream of revenge. Pleasant dreams indeed!

I was very pleased to be sent one of these portable interactive white boards to review, and I was so excited to use it with my class! Unfortunately, I could not get it to calibrate properly due to the fact that my screen does not lie flat against the wall. I use a pull-down screen in my classroom that lays against a molding on the wall that covers an electrical cord. (The cord and its cover was placed there during our modernization.) This prevents the Now! Board from laying flat against the wall, and therefore, everytime I tried to push the pointer against the screen, it moved. This Now! Board works best when projected onto a hard, flat surface. I emailed and was given some advice on how to make it calibrate, but unfortunately, I never could make it work properly in my situation. The other thing that my "trial" model needed is a room in which you can place the computer, projector, and Now! Board laser right in the middle of the room, about 8 feet from the screen. (However, the "full" models will have the capability of projecting from 12 feet, I understand.) Unfortunately, my computer and all of the connecting cables are totally in the wrong location, so what I needed were some very long cables to stretch the Now! Board laser across the room to get it into the right place so that it would project onto the screen. Since I already knew that I had the wrong type of screen for the Now! Board, I decided not to go purchase the cables that were necessary to make it work in my classroom. So I decided to try this Now! Board out in another classroom with a better set up, and guess what? It worked like a charm! The kids loved it, and it has all of the same great features as any interactive white board would have. I can imagine that it would be an EXCELLENT deal for [$], if your room was set up just right for it! All you need is the right room configuration, and you are all set. Just make sure that you have:1. A hard, flat surface to project on.2. A place for your computer, projector, and the Now!Board laser to rest on that is about 8-12 feet in front of your screen. Each time you set it up, be prepared to spend a minute re-calibrating your screen. It's not hard, it just takes 60 seconds, but it has to be done. It also has to be done again if somebody knocks the laser down or moves it. But these are really the only disadvantages of the unit! Other than that, you can do anything with it that you can do with any interactive white board! It's a wonderful, interactive tool, and it would be a great addition to any classroom, provided that your room configuration will allow for its use.Heidi Butkus

Have Patience and Stay Focused
By Karenheart
from Michigan
Comments about now!Board® For Your Classroom:
I chose to do on-line public schooling this year and realized my two high functioning autistic kids are visual learners. They cannot sit at a table and do their off-line assignment sheets with pencil. I could not afford a smartboard and the upkeep. The now!board meets my current needs which are: 1) project their off-line assignments on a whiteboard using a projector (or on the flat screen tv), 2) have them complete their projected assignments by writing on them with the now!board pen, and 3) be able to save their completed assignment screens.The only frustration is calibration. I wish the documentation was more thorough because I exhausted them and now have to continue to guess until it works. Things like: 1) why it is mandatory to use the correct PC resolution setting since most PCs go way beyond the now!board resolution requirement, 2) how far behind a short throw projector "lens" (not the projector housing) you have to be, 3) have more options discussed on where to place the now!board camera like directly behind the projector lens, on the side of the projector, above the projector on a box, or below the projector on a lower shelf, etc., and 4) if all else fails, then document the customer support info so you can get help. You also have to learn how to use the now!board writing tools but that is ok since you have to get used to any kind of technology.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Once calibrated...LOVE IT!
By Beka
from Oakland, CA
I was so excited when my now!Board arrived at school. I set it up the first day and could not get it to calibrate. After changing batteries in all wands and styllus' I was finally able to get it to calibrate. Once calibrated... I LOVE IT and so do my students. I love that I have pull up a worksheet online, turn the board on, let my students write on it, then erase, and do it again! Love that I can do so much with it!Also all my fellow teachers have come by to look at it and all ask where it is. They are expecting something big, instead they are all surprised at how little it is. I have already gotten another teacher to buy one...now working on the rest of the teachers!

IWB on the Go is a Great Deal
By Shell Teacher Trainer
from Worldwide
I had the opportunity to try this product, basically a portable Interactive White Board. I like portable products that are small and easy to transport. When I found out about the now!Board it met these requirements and made me excited about the potential of being able to carry IWB technology everywhere I go and so that is what I did. Every month I travel to various cities and countries to train teachers. I have taken the now!Board with me. I was surprised by how small the carrying case is and how easy the set-up is. The cost isn't too bad either. The best part is that it is portable and as long as you have a projector you can set this up on the floor, desks, walls, anywhere. Learning is best when you can move it around and kids can create digitally. This is a good affordable option if you're in the market for an IWB.

Teacher Tipster Review of now!Board
By Teacher Tipster
from Conway, Arkansas
Hey guys! Mr. Smith here from Teacher Tipster! Comin' atcha' today with another fun product review. The folks over at Learning Resources sent me a now!Board Interactive Whiteboard (IWB) to play around with. And let me just say...I'm so glad that they did! This device lets you turn any flat surface into an interactive screen. So, your brick walls, dry erase boards and unused bulletin boards can now become your IWB! How cool is that!?As with most technology tools from Learning Resources, the now!Board could not be easier to set up and use. Simply plug the now!Board camera into a computer that is connected to a projector. Download the software and double-click on the now!Board icon. Calibrate (line up) the board and start your interactive lesson right away! You'll be using the software like a pro within 30 minutes. So many of the commands that you'll be using to manipulate the board are things that you'll already be familiar with. In other words, there is no new or tricky software to study up on. It's basically a plug and play situation. :)I was really surprised by how compact this gadget was. It's about the size of a PB+J with the crusts cut off. It could easily fit into your purse...ahem...I mean man bag if you needed to. Because of the size, the now!Board is truly a portable device. You could easily move it to a new location and set it all up again in just a few minutes. That's not an option with the stand alone or mounted IWBs. This portability opens up several options for you. One thing that springs to mind is sharing the device with others. It would be very easy to pass it back and forth between a couple of your closest teaching buddies. Just plug it up...re-calibrate...and start your lesson! You could even split the cost and buy one of these together! The now!Board is already very affordable. Probably about 1/3 of the cost of a traditional Interactive Whiteboards. Splitting the cost would make it down right cheap! It's by far the most cost effective way to create an "interactive environment" in your classroom.Most of my experience with IWBs is with a mounted Smartboard using the SMART Notebook software suite. After playing around with the now!Board software, I feel like I can fairly compare the two. The now!Board really does offer ALMOST all of the same features that the competition does. The few features that are missing are honestly ones that I rarely use anyway. The now!Board lets you draw, write, move objects, highlight text, play video, share student work, take snapshots, pull up the internet, etc. So, all of the most important features are going to be present for you to use.I would recommend that you check out the now!Board on your own. I think you'll be just as impressed as I was. This device is so easy to use! It's a breeze to move from place to place. It's the most affordable option that you're going to find on the market. It does the same exact job that the more expensive boards are going to do for you. It will transform any activity into a more interactive experience with very little work on your part. It makes the learning fun, exciting and authentic! The now!Board will truly help you to take your teaching to the....Next Level!!!Bottom line? Because of the price, portability and performance, Teacher Tipster gives this "Cool Tool" a stamp of approval!
portable interactive whiteboard
By Karen at PreKinders.com
from Georgia
I was excited to receive a NowBoard from Learning Resources to test out in my classroom. It's surprisingly small and portable, so it can be shared among other classrooms, and is a less expensive option.To set up the NowBoard, simply install the software, hook the USB cord from camera to computer, open the NowBoard program, and follow the on-screen directions to calibrate the board. This involves placing the stylus on certain points around the board or wall. Anytime the camera is moved, you will need to calibrate the board again, but it's a pretty quick process. The process gets quicker after you have done it a few times. Because of the way my classroom is set up, I needed to purchase a 10-foot USB extension cord to connect to the 6-foot cord that was provided. If using it with young children, you will need to find a place to sit the camera where it won't get bumped by the children. If the camera is moved, it has to be calibrated again. Finding the right spot in my classroom for set up was a little tricky because my projector is installed on the ceiling, but it worked out.I had my class use websites such as Starfall.com in a large group setting. We drew and wrote letters on the blank page on the NowBoard software. I made learning activities with PowerPoint to use with Now Board. If PowerPoint is used in edit mode (not as a slideshow), children can move clipart around the screen.Great if you need a portable and/or less expensive option for an interactive whiteboard.

Affordable Alternative!
By Kathleen P.
from ND
This device is truly remarkable and it will take interactive learning/whiteboard world by storm! Our district tech team says these small portable devices will eventually take over the larger IWBs (interactive white boards). And I believe them…for these reasons:1. Cost – at [$], it is much more affordable for districts to put these in classrooms. Throw in a projector and it's at least a 1/3 of the price of a Promethean or SMART board. Write a grant for Donors Choose or other funding sources, and you could have one in your room before you know it!2. Installation – there is no bulky board to set up. All you need is a flat, smooth surface – like the dry erase type white board that many classrooms already have.3. Portability – In theory teachers could share these devices. Place one on a cart with an LCD projector, a laptop (if the teacher doesn't already have one), and you're good to go.The Now!Board works just like an IWB, but without the big screen. You still need a projector, and you still need a computer. If you can manage to get your hands on those, you're all set.When I got the device in the mail, I was surprised by the small packaging. It was neatly packed in a blue box with the device, the stylus and a neat little carrying pouch.My students loved the hand pointer/stylus that is an added option for the Now!Board. The kids are already familiar with these kids of pointers, so they will be excited to see it! It is super kid friendly, and I love that it is longer than a standard stylus. It allows those little arms to really reach the object that they want to move around!The set-up process with simple, just insert the disc and follow the on-screen instructions. Super easy. I used it on a Mac and there were no issues along the way.I had a few struggles with the calibration of the device though. My LCD projector is mounted on the ceiling, and although the instructions say that you can still use the device with a ceiling mounted projector, I struggled a bit. My cables were simply not long enough to have the computer and Now!Board far enough behind the projector. After some frustration, I decided to try it in a different classroom with an LCD projector that is on a cart. After some trial and error, I did have success. The device worked just like an IWB. In fact, I could even open up my Promethean Software and use the flipcharts that I have already created.I think this device is a great alternative to schools/teachers that really want to have the features of an IWB, but simply can't afford the expense. This little gadget is portable, so it could be checked out and shared among grade levels. Just keep in mind that each time it is moved it does need to be re-calibrated. I really appreciate Learning Resources giving me the opportunity to check out this new technology! I do think that this is the future of interactive technology!
In the Preschool Classroom
By Deborah
from Indianapolis, IN
I was sent the now!Board to use in my classroom and what a wonderful tool to try out!The now!Board is surprisingly very small and easy to set up for use. In just a few short minutes, I was able to set it up and give it my first try…A now!Board can be used on any solid flat surface and if you use the wand, which looks like a hand, you can easily use the now!board on a wall or screen.The wand is very kid friendly and the little pointed finger is simple to use for selecting and guiding objects to move across the wall…I set the screen set up to be rather large in my classroom which meant the children had to use their whole body to interact with the screen...The children had to learn to stand just a bit off to the side so their shadow would not get in the way of what they were doing or looking at. The children caught on quickly and were so focused on reaching for the paint, or digging the dirt, or watering the plants that they never even seemed to notice their shadows at all…Interactive technology like the now!Board can extend real life learning in many ways and keep the learning positive and fun in the process. I look forward to exploring all the amazing ways we can integrate the now!Board into what we are already doing in our classroom…You can see my entire review at www.teachpreschool.org

I've been reading these fora long enough to know you'd still get 3 pages of whining if the AMD logo in the release notes was of a slightly different green colour. Nice attempt, but futile I'm afraid.
BTW if you don't mind, could you provide some concrete examples on how the OpenGL implementation in fglrx is closer to specs than nvidia's? I've seen those claims a few times, though no real factual data on that. I think it'd help make a good case.
