Free Apps to Support Vocabulary Acquisition by ELLs
One of my favorite aspects of integrating technology into instruction is the availability of resources to support students with different learning needs. Students who are struggling can benefit from the excitement and engagement offered by a tool like the iPad. Teachers of English-Language Learners (ELLs) can use technology to promote growth in their students. Developing a strong vocabulary is an important area of focus for ELLs who are building their reading comprehension. Educators use a variety of strategies to grow readers in their classroom, and there are many free iPad apps that support vocabulary acquisition.
Kids' Vocab by MindSnacks
This is one of my favorite literacy apps for all students, and it is a great tool for ELLs. Kids' Vocab by MindSnacks introduces students to Tier 3, low-frequency, context-specific vocabulary words. Each set of words is organized around a theme and built on games that keep children excited about learning. With supports and positive reinforcement, students who struggle won't feel defeated, since words are repeated as they work toward mastery. The high-quality graphics and engaging activities will grab your students' attention as they increase their Tier 3 vocabulary.
English First High Flyers
EF High Flyers is an easy-to-use game that helps students learn new vocabulary words starting with numbers and everyday objects. After studying a set of words (with audio and picture support), they test their knowledge through spelling, vocabulary listening and reading quizzes. The emphasis on a variety of skills holds students accountable for having a comprehensive understanding of how to use each new set of words.
If you're looking for a way to load your students' iPads with custom vocabulary, check out Flashcardlet by Quizlet. It allows students to access decks of flashcards you've made right from their iPads. Quizlet is a free website where you can create flashcards decks based on your own list of words. Whether they correspond to the vocabulary in a social studies unit or simply help students learn new words, you can use this app to support a variety of ELL students. I love the feature on this site that lets teachers use one of Quizlet's definitions (instead of writing their own). It even has choices of images that teachers can match to their vocabulary words. Displaying pictures next to the vocabulary word and its definition will help students working to expand their English vocabulary. The Flashcardlet app loaded on your class' iPads (or iPod Touch) will let students swipe through the cards you've created on Quizlet, identify any words where they need extra practice, and monitor their own progress.
A great game for 1-4 players, Futaba presents players with pictures of everyday items and asks them to name each object. Simple and fun, this is a game that encourages player competition to see who can choose the correct name for an item from a list of four choices. Whoever gets the most correct answers in one minute wins the round. Whether students are playing in groups or practicing solo, this game is sure to add new words to their vocabulary. Futaba also has an upgrade that offers customizable features.

Great list! I work at an international school where all our students are technically ELL . I'm always looking for tech resources/apps to use especially with the ipads. It's crucial to focus on their vocabulary. Thank you so much for the wonderful list.
EF High Flyers and Flashcardlet are really very helpful apps. Recently, I also came across a free Android app - Subcommune. It also helps in developing a strong vocabulary. It's great that so many English learning apps are now coming in the market.
Check out the Phrase Maze game app for practicing phrasal verbs, a notorious weak point of EFL learners:
You can also import vocab/phrases/sentences from Quizlet to use in the game, and track progress!
I appreciate the helpful ideas. My district is using iPads to support student learning. I am a bilingual kindergarten teacher with 19 English learners in her class. The ELL teacher at my school and I were recently discussing ways to help our students develop new English vocabulary words. Integrating technology into instruction seems the way to go as their iPads keep them highly engaged in learning. I will even be able to do a much better job at differentiating the learning needs of the strugglers. This apps will let me address everybody's needs more rapidly. Thanks again!

"The narrator spoiled the book"
I read this book when it was first published and despite a tendency towards purple prose, it was an enjoyable read. The audio version destroyed the charm of the book. The narrator's male character voices were awful and the lead female character, supposedly 19, sounded like a 40 year old from the east end of London at times. I would rank the text of the book a 3, the narration a 1.
"Content 4, narration 1."
I don't know why the publisher changed narrators after so many books in the series but it was a change for the worse. The lead character is American, not British and the narrator's British accent is very distracting. Also, the narrator doesn't distinguish between characters with different voices so the narration is frequently confusing. While I enjoyed the book (Note: you have to read the previous books in this series to understand anything in this book), it took me about 4 hours to finally adjust to the new reader and I will probably not purchase the next volume if it is read by the same author -- I will go back to the book format.

Time for R
Post your R subjects here.
Love the covered bridge photo, lazypup.
Red roof:
I love your railroad shots. I noted that you took those in Deep River Conn. That is only about 90 miles from here and one of my favorite areas on the coast.
Given that steam engines are no longer used by the railroads I am assuming that train is operated as an excursion train from a museum somewhere close to Deepwater. Can you give any further details on how to find it?
Since you liked that covered bridge so much, even though it is not an R, i thought i might take the liberty to offer you another here. But then, if we say its rustic I guess it is an R.
Glad you liked the pictures of the train. You are right about it being a train that is operated as an excursion train from a museum. It is in Essex, CT. It is called "The Essex Steam Train & Riverboat Ride". I took the grand kids there last summer while they were out of school. We paid $3.00 extra for a seat in the open window car.. I never took this train in the winter months. We only took the train and did not go on the river boat..(But now I wish we did) The train travels along the Connecticut River and goes by Gillette Castle State Park in East Haddam ...
The train takes you to the end of the line, turns around and drops you off at the River Boat. While there, it picks up the people from the boat and takes them back to the train station... I am posting two pictures of the River Boat. Also and I am posting a link about The Essex Steam Train below.
âÂÂR Is For River BoatâÂÂ
These pictures were taken in East Haddam, CT.
These pictures were taken with a âÂÂCanon SX10 ISâ camera.

I thought the narration was great! She was narrating a schitzophrenic person - and i think it added to the book. The story was fascinating and I have listened to it more than once. I like her reasons for writing the book. I highly recommend this book to anyone.
The people that are saying this is dull - I dont think fully grasp it. I have read the book, and I listened to it too.. and I loved it - both ways.
The way he writes is different, yes - but it's RAW - and powerful. It conveys his pain...to me anyway. It isn't normal, but it's very effective.
When I listened to it - the narrator does an AMAZING job of reading the book ... and he also conveys the pain...... portrays the agony of his life in the way he reads. It's a hard book to read, just because of the way it was written, and the narrator did it perfectly.
I thoroughly enjoyed the book - reading and listening.

A new study published in the journal PLoS ONE makes the claim that allowing limited lion trophy hunting in Africa, rather than bans called for by numerous animal conservation and welfare groups, might better benefit the species. With the African lion continuing to roam closer and closer to extinction, the questionable conclusions drawn by the authors of the paper seem contrary to common-sense and the opposite of a precautionary approach to conservation.
Here is a round up photo from the International Fund for Animal Welfare efforts to save more than a dozen dolphins during a mass stranding which occurred over the past few days on Cape Cod.
(International Fund for Animal Welfare - www.ifaw.org) supports worldwide calls for the 36 endangered lions and tigers from New Zealand's Zion Wildlife Park to be re-homed and not euthanized.
IFAW (International Fund for Animal Welfare – www.ifaw.org) announced today its partnership with Des Éléphants & des Hommes (www.deselephantsetdeshommes.org) to educate more than 9,000 young students in West Africa through the "My Elephant Neighbour" program. This program is part of IFAW's urgent efforts to protect elephants and reduce human-elephant conflicts in areas, where some populations are on the verge of extinction.
In a massive rescue effort, IFAW's (International Fund for Animal Welfare - www.ifaw.org) Marine Mammal Rescue and Research Team has been able to rescue and release 19 of the 27 Common dolphins that stranded alive on Cape Cod shores during the past few days including a dolphin calf and a pregnant mother. Approximately 32 additional animals stranded, but were found dead most likely due to injuries sustained from stranding.

In Sydney the first few weeks of the year are a great time to be at work – seriously. It's time to regroup, get inspired and refocus. And it is just as well I returned with renewed energy - this week I have received over 500 news articles on whaling in my inbox, as the now familiar dangerous and expensive conflict that plays out each year between the whalers and those who oppose it has begun.
Het is nauwelijks voor te stellen, maar het is alweer een jaar geleden dat het IFAW- team in Rusland om de tafel zat met delegaties uit dertien landen die in het wild levende tijgers binnen hun grenzen hebben. De boodschap was toen net zo luid en duidelijk als hij nu nog steeds is: we kunnen tijgers alleen redden als we de parkwachters die ze moeten beschermen, de nodige training en uitrusting geven.

Ilient SysAid
Does what you want at a low cost Demos are:
I used this for the last company i worked for. (www.liberum.org)They were using a three part paper request form. This is easy to setup, scaleable, customizeable, and works great. Best part its free. It can use MS Access or MS SQL for the back end. Might even be able to port it to use MySQL.
we have been using liberium in my company since 2002, its simple to install and integrates well with windows NT domain or Active directory authentication.
I don't know if it would work for your needs but you might want to evaluate Bugzilla:
It came out of the Mozilla effort, it's the software they use to track bugs. We used it at my last employer to track work requests--people would file Bugzillas with their requests and engineers would be assigned to each ticket. You could then update the ticket with the status, you could search for tickets by keyword, etc.
And of course if you're handy with that kind of thing you can heavily customize the templates that Bugzilla uses so that the pages match your corporate style.
Best of all it's open source, so it's free.
The OSDL has actually modified Bugzilla for use in this area.
Go take a look... http://groups.osdl.org/forums/
Thanks to all of you that have replied so far!
I like the Ilient product. Clean interface, easy to understand. The only think I can't seem to figure out is if a client/customer can self register.
Bugzilla could be good too, but with all work I have to do, I don't think I'd have the time to tweak it to my needs.
We use PerlDesk, it does everything you could ask for. Usual ticketing type stuff, clients creating own accounts, knowledge base, automatic email notification etc.
It does cost (not sure how much as thats not my issue) however I'm reliably(ish) informed the cost is minimal, under ?100.
If you want more specifics give me a shout.
I think you will need www.otrs.org. This will be helpful. let us know about it.
The Web Help Desk app that you mentioned was my
favorite, until I saw the price tag. That's when I stumbled
on Cerberus Helpdesk (http://www.cerberusweb.com).
We bought it, even though there is a free license. We
decided to fork over some cash, since it's such a nice
product, and well supported, too.
We've expanded the use of our helpdesk software to cover
other areas that IT doesn't directly support. Right now,
we have a department who supports a proprietary web
application using our Cerberus deployment for their
ticketing. Hope this helped.
I second that, Cerberus is a great product, and if you use just one helpdesk email for people to send requests to (as is the case with most SMB's) such as email@example.com, it is 100% free.
Not sure if this is in your price range, but it's under $1000 for 5 named techs. The software and support is excellent.
I have used PerfectTracker in my previous job. It was easy to get up and running with. Also it has some nice reporting features etc. It does cost around ~$1500 for an unlimited user version.
Have you had a look at this one from Layton Technology called HelpBox..?
I shopped around same as you and found this product ideal. I too wanted a web based solution that was very easy to use.

That article is out of date. It was written in 1990. It also
has a 4th, unspecified premise:
that the people there to "confiscate" your guns, are going to give a rats ass about any Constitutionally protected rights you have or about any curtailments on their power.
They are there to take guns, and/or murder you. Plain and simple. If they don't kill you on the spot, they will arrest you and put you in a camp. (not a prison, because there will be too many of you and the prisons are already full)
They aren't there to talk or to show you a warrant. They won't have one and they won't think they need one. Likely, some assclown judge will declare a "blanket" warrant for any and all premises, or, the legislature in question will simply try to write a provision that this special law doesn't need warrants.
It doesn't matter that this behavior is illegal as hell. They will do it that way anyway.
They aren't there to talk or to listen.
They are there to ransack, steal, and either arrest or kill anyone who even flinches in resistance to their 'authoriti.'
There is only one proper response to this act of war - lethal force.
They are guilty of an on-soil, inside invasion. Treat them as you would any foreign invader committing the same acts. They are just as criminal coming from Americans as from non-Americans.
The result of compliance with their violence against you is your death and the death of your family. You each might suffer a fate worse, before you die.
Surrender is not an option.
Do not give in to Evil's demands.
Resist it at every turn.
If you don't know how, learn now.

In early October, Five Ten senior management met in Bend, Oregon for high-level strategy meetings. Why Bend? Because the Brand of the Brave execs knew that talking about the brand wasn't enough. "Five Ten isn't made up of a bunch of corporate suit & ties," says Charles Cole, Five Ten founder and president. "What makes Five Ten the core company that just like our customers, we depend on our footwear on a daily basis." Taking advantage of Bend's world-class biking and climbing opportunities, the Five Ten execs climbed at Smith Rock one day, and rode mountain bikes on the Deschutes River Trail the next. At Smith, they tested the highly anticipated new Stonelands climbing shoes; on the biking day, they focused on the coveted new Freerider VXi's with the new Stealth Contact soles. "

No control of ship after STF respawn
Noticed this prior to S7 too, but as I don't do many STFs it didn't bother me much. Now seeing it almost every respawn on Onslaught. When you respawn the ship will stay at an angle and go dead straight, you cannot slow it or steer it for up to 30 sec at least.
try righ-clicking on empty space, this usually works for me
I have this issue too. I do a lot of STFs, and it used to happen occasionally, but now it happens all the time. I can tell it's not just that my commands aren't getting through, because my ship doesn't always coast in a perfectly straight line; it kind of twitches to one side or the other like it's malfunctioning.
I can confirm this happening to me as well.
Can confirm it's happening to me too.
Same problem here, happened right before I got one-shotted by a cube that doesn't do any more damage in S7 than it did in S6 :rolleyes:
The current workaround for this is to target an enemy ship and then untarget it. This will let you regain control of your ship
I've also had this problem, though it existed for me since before Season 7 launch.
Hitting the 'escape' key once after respawn, clears this problem for me.
I've experienced this too in Onslaught.
I've had this issue in STF's and Starbase 24. It sure is getting annoy! :mad:

Power House is a symbol of innovation, enlivening a community with artistic ideas, education, and an introduction to the potential of green and renewable energy. The project also brings international artists to the neighborhood, exposing residents of urban Detroit to creatives and art groups from around the world. For the first installation of Power House, Design 99 chose Fonds BKVB to partner with. Artist Erik Jutten from Rotterdam was chosen to create the first installation in the house.
Along with Design 99, the artist helped to rehabilitate the abandoned home, from reshingling the roof, to painting a construction digger to match the pastel stripes of the façade. The team also installed solar panels on the roof, and wind turbines to harness wind power. Combined, they collect enough energy to fuel Power House, as well as the adjacent home next door. Both self-sufficient and a power source, Power House is truly an urban construction project that looks to the future.
Aside from infusing art and green technology into these forgotten neighborhoods of Detroit, they will also serve as a hub for education. The pilot program will explore community education, as well as attract both media and visitors to the area.

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|3 - 7 nights
Plumeria is located atop Gifft Hill, and features panoramic ocean views of up to twenty islands and cays, as well as spectacular sunsets, among the finest on St. John. Its layout provides the ultimate in Caribbean indoor/outdoor living, with large French doors in every room opening onto the interior courtyard, sundeck, and pool. Outdoor living spaces include the enclosed courtyard, a very comfortable outdoor living room facing the view, a central pool, interior gardens, covered walkways, the main sundeck, the new lower deck with its large built-in spa, the shaded dining gazebo, and a granite outdoor kitchen. Plumeria's hilltop location, with adjacent green space, ensures complete privacy and gentle tropical breezes, as well as a single-level floor plan, with a flat driveway that has room for several cars.
Plumeria's expansive decks offer complete privacy while sunning by the pool, or enjoying a romantic evening in the outdoor living room. Have cocktails and enjoy the stunning sunsets over the Caribbean. As night falls, watch as cruise ships leave for their next port of call, and dine in the outdoor dining gazebo, with the lights of St. Thomas twinkling in the distance. Guests have often commented that dining in the gazebo at Plumeria is the 'table with the best view on St. John'. During the full moon the reflection over the waters of Pillsbury Sound is unmatched. The night sky is full of stars for star gazing, and we provide a high-end telescope and binoculars for guests to use.
The pool is solar heated, ensuring comfortable 80+ degree swimming all year round, and at night, LED pool lights slowly change colors, illuminating the courtyard. The gardens surrounding Plumeria were created for your enjoyment. Orchids abound in the trees, and over 200 different plants and flowers, many with botanical plant labels, attract hummingbirds and bananaquits. Flowering plumeria trees, also called frangipani, add a delightful fragrance to the tropical breezes. In summer, guests can enjoy delicious mangoes, picked fresh from the tree.
You can be dining at one of the many fine restaurants in Cruz Bay less than 10 minutes after leaving your private villa. Plumeria has been furnished for your ultimate comfort, with large upholstered custom furnishings in the great room, and similarly immersive furnishings in the outdoor living room. Indoor fine dining for six is easily accessible from the gourmet kitchen. The kitchen is fully stocked for 'cooking in', with all the gear needed to prepare gourmet meals, including a full set of thirty Penseys' spices. In addition to its large indoor kitchen, Plumeria features a granite outdoor kitchen adjacent to the dining gazebo. The outdoor kitchen features a large built-in gas grill with rotisserie, a teppanyaki cooktop, a mini-fridge, hot and cold water sink, and all of the necessary utensils and tableware. Across the pool from the great room are the air conditioned bedrooms, with a king bed in the master bedroom, and a queen bed in the guest bedroom. Both lower bedrooms include en-suite baths, with twin vanities off the master bedroom. The spacious loft above the great room has both a queen bed and two twin beds, accessed by a spiral stairway, and is also air conditioned. A smaller day bed in the great room brings Plumeria's total sleeping accommodations up to nine.
Plumeria shares ownership with the adjacent villa on Gifft Hill, Coconuts (www.vrbo.com/472849), and the two villas can be rented together, accommodating larger groups with up to sixteen guests. Lush tropical landscaping provides complete privacy between the two villas, which each have their own half acre lot. For joint villa rentals, a gate in the fence between their lots is unlocked, allowing guests to walk freely between the grounds.
St John's gorgeous, undeveloped North Shore beaches, among the finest in the Caribbean, are only 15 to 20 minutes away. You can choose a relaxing day at the beach with our beach chairs, coolers, towels, and floats, or browse thru the many interesting shops to be found in nearby Cruz Bay.
You will be so completely relaxed and refreshed by your stay at Plumeria .... you won't want to leave.

NOTE: Plumeria has proven to be a very popular villa, so advance planning may be needed to secure a reservation for your chosen dates.
Plumeria is exceptionally well documented. Feel free to contact us and ask for a copy of 'Welcome to Plumeria', which has lots of detailed information about both Plumeria, and the island of St. John.
Kevin and Danielle McCarthy have been vacationing on St. John for many years, and bought their first villa there, Coconuts, in 2010. In January of 2013, they had a wonderful opportunity to buy Plumeria, the villa adjacent to Coconuts. They immediately set about adding a number of the differentiated amenities that have proved so popular at Coconuts, and are singularly focused on making their guest's experience the best it can possibly be. Feel free to contact them with any questions that you might have, and they would be happy to email you their 'Welcome' document, which provides lots of helpful information about Plumeria.
Kevin and Danielle McCarthy purchased this villa in 2013
Plumeria combines panoramic ocean views with fantastic sunsets, the finest in Caribbean indoor/outdoor living, complete privacy, close proximity to the restaurants and shops of Cruz Bay, a level driveway and floor plan, and a number of wonderful amenities.
As soon as you step through the doors into the interior courtyard, and see the magnificent ocean panorama stretching out before you, you will fall in love with this wonderful villa.
My husband and I and our two friends stayed at Plumaria for a week. The villa was well equipped and beautifully decorated inside. Everything was in very good condition. We enjoyed the sunset view every evening. The small pool was much appreciated by me as I have back issues. This is the best house we have stayed in on St. John. We hope to return.
We have been to St. John three times, and to Plumeria twice. I would love to make it an annual visit, and would stay in Plumeria every time. Its location and amenities are perfect. The pool, hot tub, outdoor kitchen and airy outdoor seating areas make it such a pleasant place to visit. And the furniture is comfortable, as opposed to some villas that offer "beachy" but uncomfortable wicker couches and chairs. Plumeria is close enough to Cruz Bay to make running to the market or dinner in town an easy trip, but high enough in the hills to have an awesome view. The architectural style of Plumeria is typical of St. John, with the two main bedrooms opening onto the pool area, and connected by a short covered breezeway to the kitchen and living areas, giving you a true Caribbean experience. Everything you need is provided there, including a laundry room, beach chairs, towels, and a complimentary welcome bottle of wine from Kevin and Danielle! We have been twice with another couple and had plenty of room for all of us to either be together eating or watching tv, or spreading out to each "do their own thing". I cannot imagine a better location or villa to stay in. We especially like the Gift Hill area, as it affords great views and is an easy drive to all the north beaches, and is closer than many locations to explore Coral Bay, on the east side of the island, where you will also see beautiful scenery and end up at Skinny Legs for lunch! Have no hesitation in booking Plumeria, but do it quickly, as its popularity is well known and its calendar gets filled up quickly!
My wife and I have been to St. John several times but this is the first time we took our three daughters (ages 22,19 & 14). The house was tremendous and the owners are the best ones we have ever dealt with. A lot of attention to detail (labeled light switches, instructions on electronics) made our stay very easy. Good Wi-Fi to check emails in the evening. We are beach-goers so we didn't spend a lot of time in the house, but the amenities were good. The large deck was ideal for entertaining a group of friends we had on the island. It was a beautiful stay. Thank you Kevin and Danielle.
Our family just returned from Plumeria, where we spent the week of Christmas. This was our first time not spending our time at a hotel or resort for a vacation and so we were not exactly sure what to expect. We were greeted at the ferry dock by the owner, Kevin. We followed him up the hill and entered Plumeria. We were not prepared for that view....it literally took our breath and words from us-it was incredible! Kevin and Danielle both showed us around the villa and gave us a very in-depth tour of all the amenities. They were both so very kind and helpful. We had every luxury that we could ask for at our fingertips. I cannot say enough good things about this experience. Every single thing is just as described and as good as the pictures on this website looks, the real life version is even better. Thanks again for having us!
This was our 7th trip to St John. By far the best villa yet. Great sunset views, very comfortable furniture inside and out. Previous villa rentals had uncomfortable wicker furniture. The heated pool rocked. We had a full moon on our trip so the Orion telescope came in handy. The view is to die for. Air conditioning not needed but was nice to drown out the night noise from the island critters. Very close to town. We can't wait till next year to book this one again. The owners are as good as it gets with hospitalit. Thanks
The pictures and descriptions of Plumeria do not do it justice. I was at this villa from 07/04 thru 07/09 and really didn't want to leave. In the past several years, it has become my habit to rent apartments, houses, etc. when I travel instead of staying in hotels or on resorts. This villa was the most well-appointed and well-stocked of any of the places I have previously rented. Kevin and Danielle have thought of everything that would make a stay here memorable and comfortable. The decor is lovely and airy and made it oh so easy nap! Having coffee every morning on the deck while taking in the beautiful views had me (a notoriously late sleeper) up by 7 a.m. I absolutely, whole-heartely recommend this villa to anyone looking for an island experience. I'm ready to go back!
About St. John:
Travelers have once again voted St. John their #1 Caribbean destination in 2013, and for good reason. Thanks to the foresight of the philanthropist and naturalist Laurence Rockefeller, two-thirds of St. John has been and will in perpetuity be preserved in its original state, as part of the U. S. Virgin Islands National Park. Its 35 picture-perfect white sand beaches are each unique, with many of these lying within the boundaries of the National Park. As a result, when you turn away from the Caribbean Sea and look inland, you witness unspoiled virgin green hillsides, looking much as they did back in 1493, when Christopher Columbus discovered and named these islands. St. John's hilly terrain, and the literally hundreds of islands and cays that surround it, provide unmatched vistas and photographic opportunities from all around the island. The V. I. National Park maintains dozens of excellent hiking trails, and well preserved ruins from the era of the sugar mills allow you to step back in time to that earlier period. Despite large tracts of undeveloped natural beauty, St. John also offers extensive fine dining options, and the seaside village of Cruz Bay has many interesting shops to peruse.
If this will be your first visit to St. John, you are in for a treat!

Objects like that, will work anytime, anywhere with anything. Objects like that will never be thrown away.

Not Found In Williamsburg
Michael from Maspeth, NY – Verified Buyer
Wife's neighbor dropped this mug and thought nothing of it. I tried to buy a replacement where it was bought in Williamsburg for her birthday/Christmas but the store went out of business. I checked the internet and saw this picture and was surprised. She'll be surprised when she gets it. Thanks Al Gore for inventing the internet! (Charlatan! LOL.)
Nice Big Mug
Jill from Aston, PA – Verified Buyer
This is my favorite mug for both hot & cold beverages. It's comfortable to hold & the larger 16 oz. size is great. The mug comes in at least 2 different colors. The one I bought has a white background with the design in blue & other colors. Would buy again & recommend.

Jay was very friendly and informative. He answered all our questions and was very thorough in performing the treatments. We have just started using Bulwark for our business. I picked them because of high customer service ratings. We have only had two treatments so far, but it seems to be working and the customer service is great. I would recommend them highly.

Memoria Wiki Guide

Memoria tells the tale of princess Sadja of the faraway-land of Fasar, who once ventured into war to fight demons in the Gorian Desert. Her goal – to become the greatest hero of all time – was foiled under mysterious circumstances. Something had occurred, the girl disappeared and her tale was eventually forgotten.
Five centuries pass, until one day Geron, a young bird catcher, meets a traveling merchant named Fahi in his native forest. This merchant promises to turn Gerons girlfriend Nuri, who has been transformed into a Raven, back into human form. But this favor comes at a price: Geron has to finally solve the mystery of Sadja's fate.
He agrees without hesitation – unknowing that this will trigger a chain of events that will soon cast a shadow on his homeland and turn his present into a dark image of its long forgotten past…

There's a trailer apparently.....

Re: There's a trailer apparently.....
I'm aware of this notion that the film absolutely stinks, I think it came from an interview with Quinto where he allegedly tries to distance his performance from that of the material he was given to work with, there was also some reporting around diva like behaviour on set; can I source it? No, I just know I've read it. The same can be said for the talking up of Cumberbatch's performance rather than the wider footprint of the movie.
So I wonder if that's the real issue, the film absolutely stinks?
