Hi: 10° Lo:6°
By Tristan Harris Monday 13 January 2014 Updated: 16/01 15:57
ARMED robbers fled with a large amount of cash after bursting into the office of a Bromsgrove company and threatening one of the workers with a screwdriver.
The incident happened between 5.25pm and 5.42pm on Friday (January 10) at the firm on the business park off the Buntsford Park Road, Aston Fields.
The man who was working there at the time was confronted by the three raiders who were all 6ft tall, slim and wearing black coats with hoods up to cover their faces. One of them had a screwdriver and the man was ordered to lie down on the floor while the trio took the cash from the office.
He was forced to open safes and more bags of money were taken from them. And they then made him hand over his wallet, which contained bank cards and keys, before locking him in the building and making their escape.
Luckily he was not hurt during the incident and was able to raise the alarm straight afterwards.
Det Sgt Ed Slough, from North Worcestershire CID, said: "The firm involved is quite close to a truck drivers' parking area and it may be that the robbers were seen acting suspiciously beforehand or getting into one of more vehicles as they fled the scene.
"If you were in that area and saw or heard anything suspicious please don't hesitate to come forward and let us know."
Witnesses or anyone with information should call detectives at North Worcestershire CID on 101, quoting the incident reference 494-S-100114.
Alternatively, call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

HEALTH Many believe that a dog and a new baby cannot happily coexist, so therefore the dog has to go. This is not necessarily the case. A new baby does not mean you have to abandon your dog.
DOG TRAINING It's not enough to simply walk the dog through the front door and hope he will acclimate to his new surroundings; you have to teach him how to interact with the new people and items in his environment.
PET-NEWSWORTHY If you're considering adding a pet to your home in 2015, you're in very good company. As many as 71.4 million homes are expected to include a pet in 2015. According to the American Pet Product Association, pet families have increased from 56% of households in 1988 to 62% this year.
FIRST TIME OWNERS When you bring a new puppy into your home, it's a time of great excitement for everyone involved: you, your kids, your neighbors, and even the dog. Here's our guide on what to expect and how to handle the transition without losing your mind.
HEALTHAlthough it's not a topic any of us really want to think about, responsible dog parenting requires that we give some thought to what would happen to our dogs if one day we didn't come home.
FIRST TIME OWNERS Congratulations! You've decided to bring a new little four-legger into your family's home. Now comes the big decision: should you get a dog or a cat? Here are a few things to consider as you make your decision.
HEALTHDog fighting used to be a sport meant to entertain police officers and firefighters, and was advertised in police gazettes. Now that numerous laws have been passed that make dog fighting illegal, the sport has simply gone underground.
DOG HEALTH Many new puppies are adopted throughout the year, especially around Holiday time. One responsibility most first time dog owners forget to take into account is the amount of veterinary care that is necessary in keeping your puppy happy and healthy! Learn the basics of finding a vet and getting puppy vaccinated.

Pearl Jam Ten - Discussing the Emotions Drawn from a Grunge Masterpiece
in Music
Pearl Jam Ten was one of the best selling and critically aclaimed album of the early 90's "grunge" era. Although some argue not as influencial as Nirvana's Nevermind, in my view, Ten appealed to a larger cross section of music lovers. It had a punk attitude, but also blazing guitar solos and iconic choruses.
I'll discuss my views on this album, and how they evolved over time, to present day.
Front to back, this album has no weak tracks. Here we go.
Music Talk With Bob & Sheldon Featuring Bernie Pearl
in Music
The blues is life itself to Bernie Pearl. A guitarist with an upbeat, finger-poppin' picking style he learned at the elbows of bluesmasters Sam 'Lightnin' Hopkins, Mance Lipscomb, Mississippi Fred MacDowell, and others. Yet, Bernie Pearl is no hidebound traditionalist. As music critics and aficionados have said for years, he is a craftsman who packs his songs with melodic interpretations that are new and personal each time he picks up his vintage Martin or National. To hear him tell it, "I'm not a retro player. I'm playing real blues for right now."

STAND-TO! Edition: Friday, March 27, 2015
Today's Focus:
Force 2025 and Beyond
What is it?
Force 2025 and Beyond (F2025B) is the Army's comprehensive strategy to change and deliver land-power capabilities as a strategic instrument of the future Joint Force. This effort will examine the challenges the nation faces in the future, and the ways and means needed for Army forces to operate decisively across the full spectrum of operations.
What has the Army done?
The Army published the U.S. Army Operating Concept (AOC), "Win in a Complex World," which serves as the intellectual foundation for F2025B. The AOC presents the Army Warfighting Challenges (AWFC) which are those enduring first-order problems, the solutions to which improve the combat effectiveness of the current and future force.
Building upon the AOC, F2025B provides a systematic approach to harness innovation, develop concepts, identify required capabilities and rigorously experiment, develop, evaluate, validate, and integrate these capabilities to deliver a future Army that can win across the range of military operations in a complex environment.
U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command as the designated lead for the F2025B effort coordinates with Headquarters, Department of the Army, Army commands and Army service component commands to ensure initiatives and recommendations are fully developed, vetted, and integrated within Army processes.
Why is this important to the Army?
The United States faces a rapidly changing global security environment that is volatile, unstable and increasingly threatening to national interests. The Army must continue to examine how to adapt to face future challenges within this dynamic environment. To be successful, the Army must continuously strive to maintain balance between modernization, force structure and readiness to provide capable forces to the joint force commander today, in 2020, in 2025, and beyond.
What does the Army have planned for the future?
F2025B will ensure the Army retains capability while becoming a more lethal, expeditionary and agile force. To accomplish this, the Army will focus efforts on addressing the AWFCs by developing concepts and requirements, evaluating solutions and fielding integrated capabilities. By 2020, the Army will be a more responsive and capable force enabled by leaders with an expeditionary mindset, and operating with an improved network. By 2025, the Army's investments help retain overmatch for joint combined arms maneuver. By 2040, the Total Force expands options for policymakers by executing improved joint combined arms maneuver at the speed and tempo required by combatant commanders.

Marketing Strategies for Small Businesses BUS 211_Mrktng&Advtsng Springl 2006 Copyright. sjh This Certificate Confirms the Successful Completion of 12 Small Business Short Courses by Sue M. Patzer at Solano Community College: Starting & Managing a Small Business Business Budgeting Starting a Home-Based Business Financing a Small Business Planning for Profit Small Business Recordkeeping Business Financial Management Selecting Employees Marketing & Advertising Managing Credit & Collections Employee Relations Risk Management—Insurance ____________________________________________ ____________________________________________ Charles D. Eason, Director, SBDC John T. Urrutia, Dean, Business Division Solano Community College Solano Community College S W O T Strengths (of the business, or yourself) Weaknesses (of the business, or yourself) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Opportunities (in the marketplace) Threats (in the marketplace) The 3 R's of Target Marketing • Researching Your Market • Reaching Your Market • Retaining Your Market Promoting Yourself Is Your Net Working? • 20 second elevator blurb • Present Your Business Cards to the people that you think could use your services • Collect business cards from the people whose services you could use • What will you do with those business cards? • Hint: Start a Customer Database! Implementation of Marketing Strategy: Useful Small Business Strategies • Differentiation - Your business is made to appear different from the others (think in terms of a yellow page ad) • Location – think of as geographically, "virtually", and in the "minds" of your clients (like, Fredericks' of Hollywood) • Specialization - Being specialized helps in a "saturated" market, for example, a bookkeeper that "specializes" in contractors, or a automobile repair that specializes in BMWs, or certain imported autos. • Positioning - More likely (often) used by larger corporations - i.e.: THE other Phone Company • Substitution - Attract customers by offering one product or service & a low price and then sell an additional product at a higher price. A good example is the McDonald's Dollar Menu, or a hair salon that has a $39 perm special. Implementation of Marketing Strategy: MORE Useful Small Business Strategies • Niches finding a segment of the market that is untapped and grab the customer's attention. • Star First, where you are a star, or partner with one (a local celebrity). Second, when you use the name of a star to draw attention (ex: George Forman Grill). • Benefit People don't buy features, they buy benefits! Remember to market the BENEFITS! Tell Most small them the Benefits businesses use two or Overnite Web Design more Clean as a Whistle Janitorial strategies! What is in a Name? The name should: Contain the Marketing Strategy Describe the business Show a Benefit for the customer Be an attention-grabber Be easy to remember Selecting a Slogan (or tag line) • Often, the name is not enough to grab the interest or to "tell the story" • Add a slogan to emphasize the benefit or grab attention The Bookkeeping Company For Timely Financial Statements Business Perspectives Business Consulting from insight to action Advertising • Takes planning, time, persistence and money! • Image / Identity are developed • Determine the most appropriate form of Media – Involve the audience – Inform the customer about the benefits – Illustrate the benefits – Always track your advertising response for effectiveness Tracking Your Advertising Dollars You need to know which advertisement pays • Develop an Advertising Worksheet to plan a targeted advertising campaign. • Systematically TRACK your referrals through an Advertising Response Record • Ask your clients how they were referred to you, and/or by whom. Thank the referrals. • Many small business owners join Leads groups to help stimulate referrals. THE YELLOW Pages One of the most common forms of advertising is the Yellow Pages When people look in the Yellow Pages they are ready to buy… But, ask yourself when do you look in the book? Do you look for a massage therapist? How about a plumber? We need to use a Marketing Strategy in the Advertisement. Size is not always the biggest attention grabber..it is the message! Service Directories & Classified Ads Service Directories appear in most newspapers, before the classified. Many papers will have "special sections" or special inserts for certain industries. Call them to find out. Solano County is unique due to the many local papers The advantage of a Service Directory is that you can change or drop the ad at anytime Classifieds are also like Yellow Pages, where you are listed alphabetically. You can test the effectiveness by advertising once (Sunday) before paying for a whole month, or year. Door to Door Flyers Still one of the most cost effective methods of getting the word out. Take the time to design a "professional" flyer..it can be the standard 8½ x 11. "Test Market" the flyer with one-hundred copies. See if you get interest and at least one customer. Think of the appropriate: • Location, Message, & Timing Be familiar with zoning practices. Remember, door-to-door works for some businesses and not for others! Direct Mail Techniques → Direct Mail means you send out a brochure, flyer, catalog or cover letter to a prospective client(s). → The real success lies in your database of potential clients → The more you know about them, the more you have an opportunity of grabbing their interest and action is taken. → There are "mailing lists" that can be purchased for as low as $250 per 5,000 names. The more 'targeted' the higher the price. → Starting your own Database Marketing is critical (ex: start today with the members of the class) → Many small businesses will "grow" their own lists through chamber mixers, trade shows, etc. → Follow-up is a critical element. Keeping the contact information up-to-date is essential too. Alternative Marketing: Other means to get the message out! Displays at Trade Shows or Community Events (www.TSNN.com) Community Involvement: ex: sponsor a Little League team, or an informative class Sponsor an Athletic Event or a Fun Run Telemarketing Utilizing Networking or Leads Groups: Letip Promotional Gimicks: Fobs and magnets Marketing on the Internet E- Marketing is Hot!, but it is Not for every business! Before you dive into e-commerce, e-marketing and becoming a pure "click" business do your research! Ask the questions: What message do I want to deliver? How do I want to format the material? Who do I want to reach? Do my customers have access? Is it cost effective? What other marketing pieces direct the clients to this webpage (is your email or website on your brochure)? Publicity FREE ADVERTISING! Publicity has been defined as "free advertising" (unfortunately there is little control over it) You need to be able to present a "Unique Angle" on your business to get a Press Release printed or a PSA (Public Service Announcement) aired Get involved with the community and annual events Become a "specialist" in your community Time your Press Release and/or PSA at least 2 weeks before an event Speak to classes or publicize your unique service at a Rotary Meeting, etc. Promotion - the Power of this P • Many business owners only buy-in to advertising when they consider promoting their businesses. • Remember PROMOTION is any and every way to: – Get the word out about your products or services – Generate referrals and interest for your business – Present your image • Promotion includes advertising, marketing, networking and publicity. The Pro's & Con's of PR PROS Cons • PR is cheap or FREE, • Most small businesses make but it can be worth a lot! the mistake of not adding it • You can save a copy of into their marketing mix. the article and show it • Most small businesses do again and again! not target their Publicity. • It builds credibility and • It can be an one-time shot. promotes your image! • Often times it is not • It can be used to "controlled." enhance your • BIG Media isn't always the advertising! best channel. • There is always a • Publicity is like selling..it may publicity angle! take a lot of leg work!

|This article needs more links to other articles to help integrate it into the encyclopedia. (February 2014)
|This article should be divided into sections by topic, to make it more accessible. (February 2014)
Manaccom commenced operations in February 1986 as the Australia and New Zealand distributor of PC-SIG's library of shareware software for the IBM PC.
The shareware concept could only prosper if users elected to purchase the "full version" of the software which was initially purchased as a trial for a few dollars for each diskette.
Manaccom represented many pioneering developers in Australia and distributed full versions of the software, along with manuals and provided telephone support.
The business prospered with most customers being consumers and small businesses which were more than happy with the software offered at a fraction of the price of the main stream titles. Products included PC-File, File Express, PC-Write, As-Easy-As, Draft Choice, Galaxy Word Processing, PC-Outline and FormGen. Manaccom's founder, Ian Mackay, was the first person from outside of North America to be inducted into the Shareware Hall of Fame. The PC-SIG library of shareware software was made available on CD ROM when the first CD drives were released. It is worth noting that Manaccom was an early vendor of CD-ROM drives and probably was the first to offer a drive in Australia at less than $1000.
In the early 1990s retailers became interested in offering shareware software and Manaccom packaged products for display under the brand names PC-SIG, the Platinum Software Collection, Gold Medallion and Value Plus. The ranges were essentially the same and some brands were exclusive to certain retailers. Majors included K-Mart, Myer, Harvey Norman, Dick Smith, Vox Retail Group (Billy Guyatts, Chandlers, Errol Stewarts, Archie Martin) and later Officeworks and JB HiFi.
A major component of these retail ranges were games for the PC, and Manaccom seized the opportunity to distribute additional levels and more complete versions of these games. Within a few years games became Manaccom's main line of business, representing FormGen, Apogee, Epic Megagames and many others. Some of the titles may bring back some memories: Commander Keen, Jazz Jackrabbit, Paganitzu, Wolfenstein 3D, Rise of the Triad, Word Rescue, Math Rescue, Jill of the Jungle and Doom. Manaccom was the first to release Doom into retail stores anywhere in the world.
Australian developers weren't forgotten either – Manaccom was able to use its distribution network to bring Australian products to market, both domestically and internationally. Mystic Towers and Halloween Harry were two Brisbane developed games that Apogee published in the US. Locally, Music Works and David Ellsworth's educational products for Kids were long running successes. WagezBook and the later WagezWindow were payroll programs for very small businesses that were sold and supported in their thousands for around 20 years. The Easy Tutor range of educational products for using the PC and popular software products was sold in both retail and licenced to corporations and government.
The shareware market and the PC based games market started to contract in the late 1990s and Manaccom's growth plateaued until an association with Californian based Touchstone Software started to blossom, but soon after Touchstone went out of business. The major product Manaccom was handling through Touchstone was Trend Micro's PC-cillin anti-virus. It took a year or so but eventually Manaccom was appointed distributor in Australia for the PC-cillin consumer range in Australia.
The business changed rapidly, moved to larger premises and established Trend Micro as a force in the Australia retail market, along with a library of products from other developers including Net Nanny, ZoneAlarm, Acronis and Compare Office.. Manaccom was unique in that it designed and produced packaging, replicated CDs (or in earlier days, diskettes), had its own team of retail representatives and merchandisers, marketed the products and handled its own fulfilment. Manaccom's small run production enabled it to compete with imported product on price alone, plus it had the ability to produce customised packaging to suit a marketing opportunity. It truly was a one stop shop for developers, both offshore and local, to bring products into the Australian retail market place.
So successful was Manaccom in the retail market place it was selected as the software supplier of the year to the market leading Harvey Norman chain each year from 2001 to 2007. In 1986 the company's growth was recognised by BRW magazine as one of the Top100 fast growing companies in the country.
To "future proof" the business Manaccom formed a small team to develop applications of its own and in 2007 had soft releases for "2Large2Email" and "Ecofiling", a cloud style (before Cloud computing was a buzz word) document filing and database system.
In 2007 the Manaccom business was sold to Jumbo Corporation Limited a public company that had evolved from an on-line store to an on-line vendor for Australian Lottery Tickets.[1] The public company changed its name to Manaccom Corporation Limited and remained listed on the ASX.
The original Manaccom continued to trade at around the same level of turnover and profitability as it had done prior to being sold up to June 2009. In mid 2009 it was apparent that the future was limited with Trend Micro and as a result of approaches by McAfee (now Intel Security) it was decided to change suppliers of Internet Security. The change was always going to be a challenge but it became a bigger challenge than had been expected.
The founder of the original Manaccom, Ian Mackay, resigned as both an executive and director in October 2009, "to pursue his retirement plans"[2] but reportedly as a result of irreconcilable differences in management style. Mike Veverka, the CEO of Manaccom Corporation, decided to manage the original Manaccom operations (as well as the Lottery division). It seems one of his first decisions was to terminate the management heir apparent of the original business, James Mackay.[3][4] This left a significant void at the head of the original business and the process of managing the change from Trend Micro to McAfee was unsuccessful, despite a restructure and contract renegotiations.
On 2 February 2011 Manaccom Pty Limited (the original Manaccom business) was placed into administration, and meanwhile the name of the ASX listed company had been changed to Jumbo Interactive Limited. The company remains listed on the ASX under the code JIN.

Mistake - blood meal instead of bone meal
Ugh - - I planted my tubers 3-4 weeks ago with blood meal instead of bone meal. I've read this could burn the tuber. I dug one up and nothing appears to be happening, the roots were very small and short. Any suggestions? Should I dig them all up? I planted over 70.
I wouldn't worry. Blood meal is nitrogen and not too much of it from what I read.
The link has a great article with photos that any of us can learn from. One of our great NW growers is interviewed.
And this address has another inspiring tale of how dahlias are easy and inspiring with just a little care.
Here is a link that might be useful: Dahlia article featuring Dick Parshall
FWIW, I didn't see how the article provided new "good" insight. Yes, it tried to suggest that more people could grow Dahlias, but I don't agree with some of the advice.
I don't see how putting fertilizer on top of the tuber is better than mixing it into the soil underneath the tuber. That fertilizer is for roots, not the sprout, and the roots form at the tip of the tuber, not elsewhere. Put the fertlizer where you expect roots, which is typically below not above.
Further, the idea that you can somehow plan when there's going to be frost, and cut your Dahlia back before that date, just sounds "theoretical" and, therefore, dumb. There's nothing to be gained by cutting your Dahlia back sooner. A hard frost will kill the plant, at which point you can cut it back and new sprouts will try to grow. I can't think where we'd see air frost and ground frost at the same time. So if you wake up one morning in November and see brown/black on the leaves, you know you were frosted. That doesn't mean that flower buds are going to die versus bloom, tomorrow you might have warm weather and things will be fine.
I'd leave my Dahlia (and I have) until the newly forming flower buds turn to mush, then cut the stalk, and then leave it in the ground for another week. It would take some pretty extreme weather to harm the tubers if you lifed them a week later.
If you ask a person how they do something they've done successfully for a long while, or even a short while, you're going to get vast and divergent viewpoints on what practices led to their success. So I just read and take into account different climates, soils, and all the variables and just end up doing what works for me. What else can one do? Sift through the available info, trial and error, and do what works for you in your area.
PD: Regarding the fertilizer-- the article mentioned 'time- released' which I have used many years and it specifically needs to be in the uppermost layers of soil to be activated by warmer temps. So 'on top of the tuber' makes perfect sense to me. I would say 'on top of the root zone' is more apt, but the writer doesn't know dahlias.
Russ, regarding the verbage about 'cutting before the frost' one would have to be Kreskin-esque to pull that off, I agree! I pass that commentary off to creative license by the writer, not the grower. My DH and I often giggle and guffaw when we read newspaper articles written by a layperson about subjects they cover familiar to us but not them, and they just muddle up completely at times. So a grain of salt is advised when reading a casual source such as HGTV or any other topical source including magazines.
If you want to get the scoop on doing dahlias, stick with the ADS or dahlia societies' guidelines for your area, and even then you're likely to get many different opinions and ideas. That's the fun of it: what will work best for you in your area?
Had to jump in on this because I've been wondering if I could improve performance on my D's. I've used Espoma's Bulbtone the past few years to plant and always mix in the bottom of the hole as they suggest. Usually add bone meal also. Last yr my production was very weak and I didn't know what to attribute it to except inadequate fertilizer or else bad tubers.
I do use Bulbtone on lilies and alliums and they are great so maybe I'm not feeding the dahlia's enough. What granular are you using Poochella? I'd also love to get rid of the Miracle-Gro that's been on the shelf for a few yrs. But I suppose thats a little high N
What do you think?
Hi Alyrics,
I finally threw away the volumes of Miracle Grow I got at Costco ten years ago, with no use for it anymore.
Don't know the Espoma products and don't use bone meal because the dogs dig it up. What I used in the past was Osmocote Veggie formula 14-14-14 then used Mor Bloom when buds formed. There might have been other products I can't remember.
This year it's 10-20-20 no time release.
Some dahlias just go nuts producing new tubers, others are scant. Someone else will have to say why.
and don't use bone meal because the dogs dig it up.
* * *
I have a girlfriend who lives a few miles out of town. Whenever she uses bonemeal, all the dogs in the area (fenced in thank goodness) start barking and when she uses bloodmeal all the feral cats visit her yard.
Mt thoughts on fertilizers. Nothing..NOTHING. can beat a good 3" layer of compost. I heap it around my plants to a min. 12" diameter. The worms move it into the earth, create air holes, and it helps retain moisture. This stuff is magic.
We built a new bed last year. It was junk until I added 3" of compost in late July and then it just exploded.

The Supremes; Mary, Scherrie & Susaye
The Temptations sister group, The Supremes were also known for frequent lineup changes. The 1967 name change to Diana Ross & The Supremes, however, fueled rumors of a solo career for Ross. By 1969, the rumors became reality; and by 1977, the only remaining original member was Mary Wilson, who had been a part of the group with Ross when they were still named The Primettes. The group's last album was Mary, Scherrie & Susaye, a shout out to remaining members Wilson, Sherrie Payne and Susaye Greene.

They Are the Change
Four years ago President Obama launched the Young African Leaders Initiative to "tap into the incredible talent and creativity of young Africans." If their continent is to live up to its full potential, young adults must be actively engaged, Obama told the 500 participants in YALI's inaugural Washington Fellowship program.

Kelly Dahl National Forest Campground
Nederland, Colorado
Phone: (303) 541-2500
Sites: 45
Recent Rate: $17 7/2010
Latitude: 39.9315906166783
Longitude: -105.499005317688
These reviews are the opinion of an RVParkReviews' member and not the views of RVParkReviews.com
Date of Stay: July, 2010 - $17.00
Pretty good forest service cg, close to Nederland. But could not find a single level site, and as previously said, this place is best for tents and vans. No cell reception. Hosts never made contact with anyone and raced around in a truck. We camped at Kelly Dahl National Forest Campground in a Motorhome.Undo
Date of Stay: July, 2010 - $17.00
This is a gorgeous setting (right in the middle of National Forest at 8,600 feet). Sites are dirt and vary a bit in size and levelness. There's a handfull of spaces for big-rigs (we have a 40' Class A), but I'd say the majority of the sites are better suited to tenters and smaller rigs. Fire-pit, grill and bench at each site. Pretty forest views and good space between campers. Half the sites are reservable, the others are first-come-first-serve. Potable water, but NO dumpstation here. No hookups. Pit toilets only. Overall a a primitive campground in a lovely and very relaxing forest setting. We'd definitely go back. We camped at Kelly Dahl National Forest Campground in a Motorhome.Undo
Date of Stay: May, 2010 - $17.00
A typical National Forest campground. Has no hookups and limited sites for big rigs. There are 18 walk-up sites and the rest are reservation at Recreation.gov. Has nice camp hosts and the park is nice. We camped at Kelly Dahl National Forest Campground in a Fifth Wheel.Undo

Chrome Smashing: Creating the Inconceivable
Despite what Apple and Microsoft would like for us to believe, there isn't always "an app for that." Sometimes, it takes multiple tools to complete a process, and this idea becomes abundantly clear when working with mobile devices. As Greg Kulowiec says in his blog:
While many apps slightly overlap in terms of functionality, there tends to be a few black holes in each app that require the use of another app to complete the process. This leads us to App Smashing. . . the process of using multiple apps in conjunction with one another to complete a final task or project.
Smashing Defined
Creating with mobile devices can be a lot like baking. Though cookies, cakes and pies all begin with flour and eggs, the final products vary wildly. Similarly, smashing multiple apps can lead to extraordinary learning artifacts, so why not apply it to Chromebooks? In four steps, we have the potential to create and share something entirely new.
As teachers, we should look to incorporate smashes because we want our students to demonstrate their understanding, to reflect on a process and to envision creating a learning artifact that was previously inconceivable. We want students to take ownership of their learning process, develop technology fluency, and identify the best possible means to "show what they know." When there are no limitations to what can be created with the available tools, then there are no limitations to how students can demonstrate their growth as learners.
Video Reflection Chrome Smash
With that in mind, I first started to experiment with this concept of Chrome smashing while preparing for a Chromebook workshop. Too often, when we think about student creation with these devices, we focus on Google Docs, Sheets and Slides. With this group, I had already explored the many facets of Google Drive as well as a range of ways to consume course content, but I wanted to see how we could unleash student creativity and incorporate more opportunities for reflection. I wanted to see what could happen when we apply the concept of smashing to Chromebooks.
My first thought was to teach the concept of embedded video reflections. This particular school placed a heavy emphasis on writing, so I decided to see how we could leverage the collaborative features of Google Docs with video and screencasting. To do this, I fused the power of revision history in Google Docs with Screencastify (a screencasting app for Chrome) and then published the process to YouTube.
As a teacher, imagine the potential for students to reflect on their own writing while watching it played back through the revision history. Consider the insights that you may gain as a student articulates the rationale behind his or her writing. Though this first Chrome smash may have only combined a Google Doc with a screencast, it certainly opened up a new way to think about creating with these devices.
The Remixed Smash
After completing the video reflection smash, more complex applications started taking form, especially as I reflected on The Power of Remix, Mashup, and Re-Contextualization in the Classroom, a presentation by Amy Burvall (@amyburvall). She explained that creativity is inherently linked to derivative works. In other words, when students not only smash together their own products, but also smash other students' learning artifacts into new creations, a layer of metacognition is added to the process.
With that idea in mind, I fixated on objects that could be uploaded to Google Drive, shared and then smashed. First, I curated images and video that were created by a number of people on Chromebooks, iPads and smartphones into a Google Drive folder. Then, I smashed them together using Pixorial (a Chrome app similar to iMovie) and uploaded the video to YouTube. Finally, I imported the video into VideoNot.es (a note taking tool for videos) for reflection and feedback.
Breaking New Ground
Whether your students have iPads or Chromebooks or laptops, when you remove the technical limitations to your thinking about projects and curriculum, a new world opens up for student creation. In Five Minds for the Future, Howard Gardner writes:
The creating mind breaks new ground. It puts forth new ideas, poses unfamiliar questions, conjures up fresh ways of thinking, arrives at unexpected answers.
Essentially, our goal as educators is to help our students develop into creators and innovators. When we know that smashing is a possibility and introduce this potential to our students, we not only empower them to take ownership of their learning process, but also teach them to go beyond the initial obstacles in order to problem solve for better learning and expression.

Fun necklace
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Other
I liked this necklace, but didn't love it. One thing to note is that the it is on a black mesh. I thought it was on a white cloth, but I think that is just because it is photographed on something white. It is a black mesh, so whatever color you are wearing under it will come through. Definitely a pretty necklace though!

This necklace was fun. I wore it over several fall sweaters. The backing on the necklace sometimes gets caught on the embellishments so you have to be careful about it folding over on itself
