Can you tell me how to set up a group for my students? ( see they have the option to join a group; I assume a teacher can create a group to keep track of them?) Thank for your response.
CodeMonkey Studios - Sorry for the delay, somehow only now we've seen your message here.
If you install the CodeMonkey Edmodo app as a teacher to one of your Edmodo groups, you should see the group and its students when logged to your Edmodo teacher account under "Groups" in CodeMonkey main menu (top right corner).
Let us know if you need more help!

Dr. Raphael - CodeMonkey team,
I do not see anything identifying "Groups."
Can you please tell me specifically where I can find this.
(If necessary I can send you a screen shot if that's helpful to show you what I see. The only thing available appears to be be 'Join a group."
I don't appear to have any option to create a group for my class.
Thanks in advance for your response.

[0001] This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60/234,070, filed Sep. 20, 2000, incorporated herein in its entirety by reference.
[0002] A compact disc containing codes and information describing a preferred embodiment of the present invention is submitted herewith and is hereby incorporated by reference. The compact disc contains the following files and/or programs:
[0003] This invention relates to interactive video distribution processes, systems, and elements thereof characterized by point-to-multipoint system configurations, and which are used for the unidirectional distribution or delivery of motion video data resulting from interactions between users and systems elements. In particular, this invention relates to interactive advertisement or commercial information displays that offer viewers an opportunity to selectively interrupt real time advertisements to display alternative advertisements in their place.
[0004] During the past two to three decades, the public has had the opportunity to observe significant developments in two important communications medium, television and the Internet. Developments in television include, for example, high resolution color television, home video machines, cable, and satellite broadcasting, digital television, and interactive television. Developments in the Internet have focused on increasing �last mile� bandwidth by designing, for example, faster routers and on decreasing server response time by moving content closer to the edge of the network through the use of Web caching and content replication.
[0005] Although television�herein used to refer to all forms of real time audio-video broadcast networks such as conventional television, cable, and satellite�and the Internet are viewable on similar video display devices, the differences between these two mediums remain profound. There are several reasons for this. First, the Internet remains a two-way medium carrying largely static content for point-to-point distribution, while television in general is a real time, dedicated one-way medium with dynamic content for point-to-multipoint distribution or broadcasting. Second, distributing a Web page from a computer browser output directly onto a television display is not a very satisfying experience, because of what is often referred to as the �twelve inch versus twelve foot experience�. Internet content is usually viewed by a single user sitting close to a computer display, and Web page fonts and graphics are generally too small to be comfortably viewed on a television display without specially transcoding the content. Television content is usually viewed from greater distances and often by a group of viewers, and broadcast networks are designed to transmit rich, multimedia content by delivering a high-quality, synchronized audio and video signal to a large viewer population. Third, the Internet is a �best-efforts� network. Data moves through networks in a hop-by-hop, asynchronous manner and some data packets can be dropped arbitrarily or delayed. These errors introduce a degree of unpredictability and unreliability in content delivery in addition to server response time problems. Broadcast networks provide predictable performance; because of their synchronized point-to-multipoint transmission, there are no variances in the propagation delay of data throughout a network's transmission footprint. Finally, the Internet is not readily scalable in terms of point-to-multipoint transmissions. As a point-to-point network, when data needs to be sent to several locations, additional copies of the same data are sent separately. In contrast, broadcast networks are inherently scalable because of their point-to-multipoint transmission capability. Because of all these differences, concepts and techniques for allowing individual interaction with Internet context are generally not transferable to the medium of television, even the advancements with respect to interactive television.
[0006] Interactive television is television enhanced with the attributes of personalization and responsiveness by designing choice into the medium such as has the Internet. The term �interactive television� thus can generally be defined as anything that allows a viewer to selectively engage a television broadcast system to access new and/or advanced presentations other than by channel selection. Unlike the Internet, however, interactive television has dedicated, real time continuous broadcasting unless a viewer chooses to interrupt the real time content by selectively requesting an alternative presentation.
[0007] Examples of Internet/computer experiences are Doyle, U.S. Pat. No. 4,847,604, Method and Apparatus for Identifying Features of an Image on a Video Display, and Makkuni et al., U.S. Pat. No. 5,010,500, Gesture-Modified Diagram for Retrieval of Image Resembling Diagram, with Parts Selectable for Further Interactive Retrieval. Doyle teaches about a computer display graphic interface that allows a user to obtain descriptive information concerning a feature of a displayed image by pointing to the location of the feature. Makkuni et al. teaches about selecting a part of a still image in a workstation environment to display a menu that includes a description of video segments related to that part. Because both of these inventions are twelve inch experiences, they are not readily adaptable to the interactive television medium.
[0008] Examples of a twelve foot interactive television experience can be found in Hayashi, U.S. Pat. No. 5,995,134, Method and Apparatus for Enticing a Passive Television Viewer by Automatically Playing Promotional Presentations of Selectable Options in Response to the Viewer's Inactivity; Hooks et al., U.S. Pat. No. 6,169,542 B1, Method of Delivering Advertising Through an Interactive Video Distribution System; and Clanton, III et al., U.S. Pat. No. 5,745,710, Graphical User Interface for Selection of Audiovisual Programming. Hayashi teaches about a system for displaying a menu of promotional presentation options wherein the system defaults to presenting one of the presentations if the viewer fails to select an option within a given amount of time. Hooks et al. teaches about a menu of selectable options built up from advertisements for which a registration request was received by a viewer. In each of these patents, then, it is necessary for a viewer to select an option, or to wait for a default selection from among the selectable options to begin, before the system will continue in real time. Clanton, III et al. teaches about an interface for displaying and selecting video-on-demand programs as well as other programs and interactive services. Clanton, III et al. discloses a movie studio back lot metaphor having a poster wall that presents a series of movie posters representing available movie selections. Selecting an icon in the form of a poster transforms the icon into information about a movie or movie advertisement. Like Hayashi and Hooks et al., the invention in Clanton III, et al. does not continue in real time unless and until the viewer selects an icon.
[0009] Kitsukawa et al., U.S. Pat. No. 6,282,713 B1, Method and Apparatus for Providing On-Demand Electronic Advertising, is also an example of the twelve foot interactive television experience. Kitsukawa et al. teach about a video broadcast network related invention wherein on-demand advertisements are provided for items and services used in scenes of television programming. Selected advertisement modes alert a viewer when advertising information is available as a selectable option within the context of the broadcast programming. The alert comprises a tone and indicator marks that are superimposed over broadcasted programming. An advertisement for a particular item is requested by a viewer by selecting the indicator marks corresponding to the item in which the viewer is interested. The advertisement is then displayed along with the broadcast of the current television programming by superimposing the advertisement over the broadcast of the television programming or on a portion of the display along with the television programming, either of which may be displayed in a picture-in-picture inset. This mode of advertising has several disadvantages. From a viewer's perspective, an advertisement cannot be viewed in advertising mode unless a viewer does so in cyber time, thus forcing the viewer to break his or her focus away from real time programming. From an advertiser's perspective, the viewer is not exposed to advertisements unless the viewer selects an advertising mode, and a product or service cannot be advertised independently from the television programming. To make use of this invention, it is necessary to abandon the existing models of advertising whereby discrete broadcast time slots are sold to promoters and advertisers.
[0010] Although numerous attempts have been made to provide more interactive advertisement opportunities, existing techniques are either not suitable for the interactive television medium, because they rely on the assumptions inherent in the twelve inch experience of the Internet, or because they require user interaction or time delay before continuing. The undesirable results of this latter reason are especially noticeable in those situations where not all viewers have interactive capabilities. Accordingly, it would be desirable to provide an advertisement delivery system that is particularly adapted to the interactive television medium and that can take advantage of the benefits associated with interactive advertisements.
[0011] The present invention introduces a new paradigm in interactive advertising, the storyboard model. Interactive advertising is commercial advertising that allows immediate, real time, two-way interactivity between a viewer and an advertiser. For advertisers, interactive television provides much greater efficiency in media buys, better viewer targeting, and an ability to go from brand message to product delivery almost instantaneously. It gives advertisers new choices in delivering content to their audience and subsequently gaining valuable insights into their consumers in the form of marketing data that can be obtained because of consumer interaction with advertising content.
[0012] The present invention relates to a storyboard model for interactive video advertisement packages. An initial real time, predetermined video advertisement segment is delivered over a broadcast interactive television medium in a conventional advertising time frame or spot. The initial video advertisement segment includes a dynamic sequence presenting a storyboard model representation having a plurality of selectable zones. Each zone of the storyboard model representation corresponds to selectable, predetermined video advertisement segment associated with that zone. The selectable video advertisement segments corresponding to a viewer selected zone is delivered to the viewer in direct response to selection by the viewer of that zone and presents one part of a storyline.
[0013] This invention is a significant development with respect to how advertisers may be charged for advertisements in an interactive television medium. In traditional advertising, advertising time is purchased based on time slots (e.g., 15, 30, 60 second spots). Existing models of interactive television advertising generally have adopted the click-through pricing models common to the Internet by charging advertisers based on the number of times viewers interact with the advertisement.
[0014] In the new model provided by the present invention, advertisements can be sold both as spot advertisements for the initial advertisement segment and as the interactive television equivalent of click-through charges when a viewer having interactive capability selects one of the selectable advertising segments. The business model is particularly advantageous in environments in which a portion of the viewing population is not equipped with television sets having interactive capability. For those viewers, advertisers can still create effective advertisements that fit into the conventional pricing model of how existing television ads are bought and sold. For viewers having interactive capability, a further pricing model can be applied to charge on a per view/per selection basis for the increased user interactive with an selectable advertisement segment.
[0015] Interactive advertising can run in either real time or cyber time. Real time programming is programming the way the viewer has traditionally viewed television. The time frame of the programming is continuous during broadcasting and never interrupted. It may or may not be selectable, an example of the former being video-on-demand. Cyber time programming is programming that is both selectable and can be interrupted. Selectable zones are used to move between selections in real time, between real time and cyber time, or between two selections occurring in cyber time. The term �selectable zone� refers to an area on a video display which, if selected by any mechanism such as a mouse, joystick, IR remote control, or keyboard, causes some computer process to happen, such as reconfiguring the display. It will be understood that any number of hardware and software platforms of the broadcast interactive television medium can be utilized to implement the storyboard model in accordance with the present invention. Moreover, advertising packages and the advertising segments that make up these packages can be stored at, and called from the viewer's set-top box or from a broadcast server.
[0016] This model is designed to work either in or out of real time. If the viewer chooses not to interact, real time programming continues at the end of the advertisement's time slot and the viewer never leaves real time. At any point in the advertisement that the viewer makes a selection, the viewer most likely will begin viewing in cyber time, depending on the advertising package and the circumstances.
[0017] FIGS. 1-4 illustrates an interactive video advertisement package displaying an advertisement segment from an advertising campaign having multiple advertisements in a storyline.
[0018]FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram of one embodiment of an interactive television environment.
[0019] One embodiment of the present invention allows a viewer to select a campaign of advertising segments having a common theme and to then select a particular advertising segment from the ad campaign or series. The embodiment also allows the viewer to successively view advertising segments from the same or multiple, alternative ad campaigns. The concept behind this paradigm is to allow the viewer to select an alternative advertisement segment to that which is being shown in real time, to select an advertisement segment from a different ad campaign altogether, or any combination of these. By doing so, interactive video advertisement packages invite the viewer to spend significantly more time with an advertiser's messages and provide ways to access additional information.
[0020] For example as shown in FIGS. 1-4, a national beverage company may create several storylines for its beverages that are humorous, entertaining, and key to solidifying brand loyalty. The embodiment provides the beverage company a venue for allowing a viewer of its advertisements to select which of the beverage company's advertisements the viewer wants to enjoy. The embodiment begins with the interactive �i� logo and an initial real time, predetermined video advertisement segment. The segment displays four small picture-in-picture windows in addition to the main or dominant display area. A smaller or larger number of windows can be displayed as is appropriate. Each of the windows is a selectable zone and displays a representation (either still or video) of only the visual part (i.e., no audio) of an advertisement segment from another, different ad campaign. In the dominant display area, an advertisement segment from an ad campaign is presented in real time. If the viewer merely watches the advertisement segment in the dominant area, the spot representing the initial advertisement segment will play out and real time programming will continue. If the viewer selects one of the selectable zones, the viewer enters cyber time and can view the selected advertisement from the selected ad campaign. The advertisement that was playing in the selected selectable zone becomes the presentation in the dominant display area. The visual part of the presentation that is replaced is displayed in a picture-in-picture window that also is a selectable zone. In addition to other picture-in-picture windows, preferably each of the advertisement segments of the storyline of the selected ad campaign appears in a picture-in-picture window at the bottom of the dominant display area and is a selectable zone. It is these windows that create a storyboard. Any previously displayed storyboard disappears. The viewer then has a full compliment of selections between ad campaigns, including that being presented in real time, and between individual advertisement segments that comprise the selected ad campaign. The viewer may stay in an advertisement segment as long as the viewer desires or jump between advertisement segments and ad campaigns randomly. Preferably, a real time broadcast window is always present on the display to let the viewer know what is currently being broadcast in real time. If the viewer wants to resume viewing the current broadcast at any time, the viewer need only select the real time broadcast window to do so.
[0021] The preferred technology for implementing the present invention utilizes known picture-in-picture technology delivered over any number of known embodiments of interactive telvision broadcast mediums, such as shown for example in FIG. 5. A variety of predetermined video advertisement segments are streamed into predefined picture-in-picture windows. An invisible overlay over the entire screen allows each window to be a selectable zone without interrupting the video being streamed inside of it. Depending on the content of a window, selecting the window sends specific instructions to a computer (set top box) to reconfigure the screen for the viewer. A small window may become a large window and vice versa, and more windows may pop up allowing for more selections. A real time broadcast window included in the development of the advertisement package allows the viewer to return to the traditional broadcast signal from an alternative selection. Additionally, buttons could be included in a display that would allow the viewer to jump to an advertiser's Web site served by their traditional ISP. In this case, technology that employs a real time broadcast window while the Web site is being served is necessary to allow the user to return to the traditional broadcast signal. Preferably, the real time broadcast window can shrink and grow as video is continuously and dynamically streamed into the window in real time.
[0022] An alternative and simpler embodiment demonstrates another way for a viewer to select an advertisement segment. Windows for various products or services are implemented whether or not they are related by a storyline. Corresponding advertisement segments may relate to the same product or service, different products or services of the same company, or different products or services of different companies as promoters coop a broadcast time.
[0023] A detailed description of a preferred embodiment of scripting the presentation and operation of the initial advertisement video segment and the plurality of selectable advertisement video segments is presented in the source code which is on the compact disc submitted herewith and incorporated by reference herein.
[0024] Although the preferred embodiment of the storyboard model for an interactive video advertisement package of the present invention has been described herein, it will be recognized that numerous changes and variations can be made and that the scope of the present invention is to be defined by the claims.

Semiconductor company Sigma Designs said fiscal second-quarter profit surged as sales more than double doubled. The company said it earned $8.6 million, or 32 cents per share, compared with a profit of $216,000, or a penny a share, during the same period a year prior.
U.S. computer company Apple and German automaker Volkswagen are discussing the possibility of building an "iCar" that would feature products by the producer of the ubiquitous iPod personal music player.
Shares of Apple rose sharply after the company said it will hold a product launch next week, prompting speculation that a new line of iPods will be unveiled.
Google said after U.S. markets closed Tuesday that George Reyes has announced plans to retire as chief financial officer by the end of the year and that the company will begin a search for a replacement.
EarthLink said Tuesday it will cut about 900 jobs as part of a restructuring to reduce costs, and its board authorized an additional $200 million share buyback, sending its shares up 10 percent.
Remember young George Hotz? He's the 17-year-old Apple hacker who figured out a way to "unlock" the iPhone so it would work on his T-Mobile SIM card, instead of the AT&T SIM card it came with? George enjoyed a whirlwind of press coverage, including quite a bit here on CNBC. I filed for "The Today Show" on Saturday about him.
An electric sports car, a prosthetic foot for land mine victims and a potentially lifesaving device known as the "Tongue Sucker" were among the winners Friday of an international award honoring innovative designs.
Seventeen-year-old George Hotz owns a mean soldering iron, and now he's Apple Inc. and AT&T's worst nightmare--and the source of some serious embarrassment. You see, George spent the last 500-hours of his summer vacation unlocking Apple's iPhone, the year's hottest gadget and only available to work on the AT&T network. Until now.
So UBS releases an update on Apple Inc. iPhone expectations and shareholders go wild. Tell me something I don't know! I'm sitting here in Terminal C at San Jose International Airport, reading the news on my BlackBerry, and the Apple nugget caught my attention. Apple shares have been losing altitude for weeks. $140-plus down to $112 and now clawing their way back.
When Viacom's MTV unveiled its new "Urge," online digital music destination at the big Consumer Electronics Show last year, it had all the earmarks of a major initiative. Justin Timberlake joined Van Toffler on stage during Bill Gates' keynote to unveil the service which would ultimately be tied to the then-upcoming Zune media player from Microsoft.
The stories seem so bleak: The sub-prime mortgage mess threatening to torpedo the global economy and plunge this nation into recession. Yet here in Silicon Valley, something weird is going on. Sure, sales are plunging, but home prices are actually climbing! The experts call it the Silicon Valley Real Estate Paradox. The most recent figures from DataQuick show that sales dropped 11% in July; but the media price of a single family home climbed 7.4% to a record $805,000.
Last week, we started a new weekly segment called TechCheck, sponsored by AT&T, that will air each Friday on "Closing Bell" in the 4p ET hour. The 60-second spot is a quick, entertaining look at some of the stories the tech community is talking about from the world of technology. Stories that I might not have a chance to get to on the air during the week, but are still worth a mention because they're interesting and/or fun.
It's the kind of blowout quarter weary tech investors were hoping for. Just about everyone suspected that HP would beat estimates, thanks to ongoing momentum in the personal computer industry, as well as falling component prices, especially memory chips like DRAMs which have seen a 40% decline in some sectors.
Software company SAP and personal computer maker Dell are to cooperate in retail hardware and software, they said late on Tuesday.
Ever hear of VMware? Probably not since the company works in high end "virtualization software" that makes a computer run better; the way STP or other fuel enhancers increase the performance of your car? VMware does that with software for your PC.

One day long ago many fairies lost their wings in a battle against good and evil. The good fairies lost the battle and lost their wings because of it. They were able to keep their magic but now the bad fairies have magic and wings. The bad fairies never had wings before. This gave them the upper-hand. The good fairies knew that had to come up with an idea so they fooled the bad fairies with NCR pads and got their wings back. The good fairies can now use their wings to fly around and help people with their magic. The good fairies were so thrilled that they cried. When a fairy cries another good fairy gets its wings. It was a wonderful day for the good fairies and they couldn't wait to get home.
Targeted Traffic For Your Website
A good friend of mine always complained about how she never made any money online selling affiliate products on her website. When I suggested to her that she works with a cheap seo company, she laughed it off until her business was taking a hit. As a website owner, she had bills to pay in order for her website to continue doing business.
One day when she was unable to pay for hosting, she approached me to find out how I was managing. I told her about this affordable SEO Company that I use to increase targeted traffic to my website. So, she decided to give it a try; that was the first time she ever made a penny online. Today, she is one of the website owners who are making a reasonable amount of money from their websites.
Search engine optimization does work if you work with people who know what they are doing. Many people fail because they don't understand the importance of SEO.
Money Does Grow on Trees!
At 84 years old, gardening wasn't as easy for Betty Fields as it used to be but as a retired teacher she had a lot of time on her hands and her rose garden kept her plenty busy. One day while working up the soil the best she could and sprinkling a little hydrated lime in the flower bed, she her a sound. Standing still she listened intently and heard it again. Just then a bird chirped and looking up at it she saw that it was perched on a bag with what appeared to be money sticking out of it hanging from the tree over her rose bushes. Betty used her rake to pull the bag down to get a better look at it. There was several hundred dollars inside. What an unbelievable sight. Maybe money does grow on trees?

IndicazioniMostra mappaNascondi mappa
We are lockated in old town, Bascarsija, near Sebilj.
Directions from railway station and bus station:
Trams run between 5:30am and 23:30pm, with a reduced service on Sundays.
Railway station and central bus station are on same place, from there it is easiest and cheaper way to get tram number 1. It goes directly to Bascarsija, there you need to get out. (It is 10 stop)
You can ask driver to show you. Need to buy ticket(1,80KM), and you need to cancel it in machine near driver.
From Bascarsija tram station, you will see a supermarket Konzum and go right (there is butcher Hodzic) when you pass it, you will see the Hotel Kovaci, then you climb a few meters.
To the left side from hotel you will see our street Tahcica Sokak. (On the corner there is Berber, men hair dresser, we are next door.)
By bus:
Most buses from Serbia and Montenegro drop you off at the East Sarajevo Bus Station.
You can come in two ways with public transportation.
With trolleybus number 103, pay the driver 1.80KM for a ticket and exit at last station. The journey should take around 45 minutes.
Walk through town to the Bascarsija square. From there follow my instractions from Bascarsija tram station.
Other way
From East Sarajevo Bus Station take bus number 31e (Vijecnica - Dobrinja), to the bus stop around 100m from the main station, and exit to the last station. The journey should take around 30 minutes.
This last station is very near our hostel. Follow first street on right, Kracule. On the end of street on right corner there is hotel Kovaci. Infront of you should see Berber, men hairdresser, we are next door. You sould see our sign from there.
A taxi from East Sarajevo cost 10 euros/20KM. Walking not recommended.
From Airport:
You can reach us by taxi, but I would not recommend that you take one from the airport as they can charge 30 euros, and the real price is 15 euros, or less.
We can pick you up for fee of 7 euros.
Or public transportation:
We do not have direct public transportation from airport so you need to walk from airport to first station of Komercijala or trolleybus.
Read the instructions on how to get from East Sarajevo Bus Station.
If you want more detailed instructions or map please contact us by e-mail.
write us the exact time of your arrival. If you will be late please let us know by e-mail or SMS. If you are late 3 hours, without notice we will cancel your reservation.
We do not have 24h reception, we are just a phone call away.

Women achievers from different fields were recently honoured
'Big Salute to Women Entertainers', a one-of-its-kind award ceremony, organised by Big FM and Parle G, honoured women in cinema, dance, theatre, music, television , media and sports (about 20-odd awards were given under these categories). The voting was conducted by Big FM on air, via sms and online.
The show, a tribute to women power, was a celebration, with dance performances by Sandhya and Chandi Parera (choreographed by Gayatri Raghuram), M.S. Lavanya on the saxophone and a whistling performance by Sweta (the youngest whistler of the Indian Whistlers' Association).
Under Cinema, Sneha won the award for Best Actor, while the Lifetime Achievement award went to Sachu. Best Director award was bagged by Priya V, Upcoming Director award was given to Madhumitha while Rohini won the Best Dubbing Artiste.
"This year, it is an award for upcoming director. I hope I win the Best Director next year as it is every woman's dream to not just win an award as a woman but to be pitted against men and emerge a winner," said Madhumitha.
Vinisha K took home the Best Dancer award, while Best Choreography went to Girija Raghuram. The Lifetime Achievement award in the dance category went to Bharatanatyam artiste Chitra Visveswaran.
"There are so many types of dances . One lifetime isn't enough to learn them all. You are always a student of your art," said Chitra. "I don't perform much now but I showcase my art through my students. It's an amazing feeling. An award for dance is rare and it is an honour to receive this," she added.
Under the Media category, the Lifetime Achievement award in Journalism was given to Malathi Rangarajan of The Hindu for her work as a movie critic.

This is a wonderful place to eat in Beaune. We made reservations (recommended) for the 2 of us and were very pleased. The service was wonderful - friendly, helpful. The food was divine. We would go again if we were staying longer!!!
I went here with my mum two nights ago and were at first not expecting much from the description on the menu of the dishes. When they came out they were perfectly portioned and had a great balance of flavour.
Also a plentiful wine menu, with many beautiful local wines.
Super nice waitress, english speaking and all at a fantastic...
Thanks to Tripadvisor we chose this small and cosy restaurant to have lunch and the food was so good that we ordered more than previously planned.
Wonderful little restaurant with great service always seeking to please, and several menu choices with great alternatives. Of course, the cuisine of Burgundy is among the best anywhere else. The escargots, burger of charolais, and wine were terrific. Inexpensive for what you get!
Le Bacchus features three menus at reasonable prices, but frankly they are not especially interesting and the food is mostly ok without reaching any great heights.
An entree of chopped snails and mushrooms with butter was interesting, but the mains were underwhelming and the entrecote was not a great quality piece of meat. A dessert based on french toast with...
Very friendly staff who went out of her way to make sure one of our party was happy with her meal when she noticed she was not enjoying her meal. Food was delicious , well presented and good value for money. Would recommend highly for food and friendliness.
We were referred here by a competing restaurant as they were full and we were not disappointed. There were 4 of us and a table was available so were seated immediately. There was a great selection of wines and the owner was very helpful with all aspects of the meal. The meal was great, both entrees and mains, and everything...
Well located in old city, this is a cosy restaurant with a delightful hostess, delicious local Burgundian dishes and a local wine list. Our favourite was the beef burgundy and the strawberry tart was delicious too. The price tag was good value.
Checking out the TA reviews, this restaurant was listed as #5 in all of Beaune, so we were definitely expecting more. It appears to be a husband (chef) wife ( front of house) team and she who is very pleasant and speaks English. The restaurant is typically small, which we like. We started with a carpaccio of scallops, which was...
A delightfully friendly restaurant where the food is excellent, the chicken was succulent with a very tasty sauce and the creme brûlée was served with flaming sugar. Can't wait to return for the next course

Hottest Active Booty GIFs Ever
There's nothing but cheeky goodness going on as these ladies shake their backsides.
There's nothing but cheeky goodness going on as these ladies shake their backsides.
That's right, it's Claudia from 'Party of Five,' the voice of Meg from 'Family Guy's first season and Penny from 'Lost in Space,' Lacey Chabert.
In today's Babe of the Day, we feature Sophie Turner. No, not the teenage girl who plays Sansa Stark, but the model known as the "Saucy Aussie."
The Babe of the Day is Miss Leilani Dowding, former Page 3 Girl and current number one girl in our hearts.
Boys, say hello to Rosa Acosta. She's a fitness buff, a ballet dancer, a model and she could probably do more crunches than you.
Hump Day has come once again, ready to help us roll through to the end of the week with the help of some lovely ladies and their luscious lumps.
The Babe of the Day is Evelyn Lin, one of the prettiest Chinese porn stars we ever laid eyes on. If only we could say that last sentence without the "eyes on" part.
She might be dating Ryan Seacrest, but we have a feeling Sara Jean Underwood is more of an 'American Idol' than anyone on that show ever was.
Come on down and take a look at the Best Lingerie Pictures Ever (This Week). Because sometimes, when it comes to clothing, less is more.
Lauren might get tired of all the zombies groaning 'braaaaains' every episode on 'The Walking Dead', but with a body like that, we don't blame them for asking.
What makes Isis Taylor such a hottie? Well, other than the whole porn star thing?
Why is Alexia Cortez a model you should be keeping your eye on? We've got 10 perfectly good reasons why.

Beautifully captured photos.
Arrrrrrrrggggghhhh. Reminds me of being at the Squam Lakes Natural Science Center, in New Hampshire, which is a wonderful place where animals who cannot survive in the wild, for whatever reasons, are given decent spaces to live out their days and provide us with an opportunity to enjoy watching them in exchange. Anyway, I love bobcats. Always have been one of my favorite animals. And they had a couple of them there. I enjoyed seeing them. What I didn't enjoy was the group of kids who were treating them like they were sixty pound housecats. These kids were swinging a camera on a rope of some sort and getting the bobcats to chase after it against the glass. I was half-hoping that the bobcats would break through the glass and maul them.ReplyDelete

Hi All I currently use a Fuji X100 & a Ricoh GR1-s for my photography but now want to add a small, compact digital camera I can pocket daily & shoot street stuff with. It would only be jpeg and predominantly B&W, maybe with some color intermittently. Ohh and I only want to spend $200 max. After a little research & reading, I've decided to go with the original Ricoh GR Digital as I've seen (& read everywhere about) it's B&W images straight out of the camera are nice.

Best Japanese maples for fall color
I have heard that some Japanese maples, maybe mostly Acer palmatum, can have outstanding fall color other than the deep red that the red leaved cultivars have. I would like a larger and more upright growing tree in the 10 to 25 foot range. Does anyone have some suggestions?
What colors am I looking for? I guess something other than the dark red of cultivars like Bloodgood--not that I don't like that color, but that I know where I can get it. So what would be of most interest would be something in the more Yellow/orange and/or the orange/red range. Really, I just love the autumn colors in general and one source I read seemed to be describing some really beautiful autumn colors of the kind I am talking about here. I have kept my eye open for any of those mentioned, but have not seen any anywhere. If I am going to make some more concerted effort to find one and perhaps mail order one, or drive some long distance to get one, I thought I should solicit some more information/opinions. The small/medium size (I am less interested in dwarfs) and upright habit are important also.
Here is a chart that may be helpful. It's not exhaustive but a good start.
Here is a link that might be useful: Japanese Maple Chart
I just recently (this year) planted a number JM's and the fall colors I see now are rather surprising--some disappointing but most outstanding. My good old Crimson Queen I've had for three years can't be beat this year for the bright red foilage that stands out right now. It was surprising because throughout the summer it was green rather than the normal color of bronze to dark red.
For uprights I have a regular Acer palmatum, green variety, the original/parent cultivar that is displaying a pumpkin orange color this fall, very pretty in the front yard. Similar but a little yellower is my Hogyoku cultivar which just turned. The parent cultivar and Hogyoku are good choices for uprights.
Earlier in the Fall, beginning in early October my AS (Acer shirasawanum) Aureum displayed reddish yellow foiliage that was brilliant during a time when all my JP's had not changed yet. Now it has lost its leaves, but next to it is an AP Seiryu that gets all the attention now with a beautiful reddish orange fall color, though not as intense as the Aureum was. Both are in my backyard where I have spent much time just enjoying the sight.
On the other hand my AP Nuresagi is still bronze mostly, unchanged from summer. The other beauty I have is a small AJ (Acer japonicum) Aconitifolium, also known as "maiku jaku" with colorful reddish orange and yellow leaves. I just wish I planted a bigger one! Maybe next year.
I have these, and unbelievably they all have red/orange/yellowish combinations:
Acer japonicum 'Acontifolium'
Leaf 'Acontifolium'
Acer palmatum 'Seiryu' (Grows very fast but grows broad and tall, quite broad actually - but again very fast)
'Seiryu' leaves (2 photos)
Some are red still - the tree just started changing a week ago.
Good old Paperbark Maple (Acer griseum) 3 photos:
Photos taken yesterday - October 31, 2006.
The range of color and intensity is heavily dependent on the climate and other factors during the growing season. While most JM's color up splendidly here, this season's rather hot and dry summer seems to have produced some of the best fall color I've seen in years.
The straight species Acer palmatum typically produces some of the best color, but tends more to the red tones although it does go through various shades. My Sango Kaku, not ordinarily known for having great fall color, is breathtaking at the moment, with an orangey-apricot cast and with the topmost leaves burnished scarlet. Osakazuki consistently offers great fall color, again more in the red tones. And I'd have to recommend pretty much any of the Acer japonicums - Aconitifolium, Vitifolium, Green Cascade - their fall color here is consistently great, with golds, oranges, reds, even a deep plum, often together on the same leaf.

how about 'katsura'?
mine are just beginning to show hints of fall colors and i will try to remember to post a photo of my small plant of 'omure yama' when it does. that one is rather special because of its pendulous (not weeping) form when it attains some size.
both of these should be in the range of yellow and orange fall colors. 'omure yama' has been quite vigorous in overall growth.
I think what GG says is correct alot of fall colors depend on the "season" I was thinking on the same line as the sango , which is readily available...but I think the Japanese sunrise is a bit better in the heat of summer which in your area is definitly a consideration!! ..BTW both seem to be a haven for Japanese beetles, the sango is the worst tree I have as far as infestation from my limited experience with these beasts which I know are a plaque out there so you will need to spray. Another good yellowish bronzish one is the Iijima sunago. But even most "red" Jm's are differnt shades of red anyway so whatever you pick will not necessarily be "bright red". You might want to check with Della at http://nurserygirl1.tripod.com/index.html She is in VA. but may or not be close to you and she is planning a trip to her big wholesale nusery next week and may be able to pick up something for you...even if your not close by the shipping should be cheap and her prices for 4+ year old trees are good. David
Conifers, those trees are real nice! Mine are not nearly as mature, but display the same colors. That Seiryu is quite large for the zone and is encouraging to me as to what to expect. It looks to me like the AJ Aconitifolium is ready to lose its leaves for the season.
One of the places I have in mind for a Japanese maple is in front of and between two special Norway spruce I planted as "bride and groom" trees in our front lawn. So I want some vigor and good upright growth. A splash of color infront of these trees will, I think, be amazing. Reading what I have seen so far in response to my request makes me think the Seiryu might be a good choice. The pictures that Dax provided show a lot of red with some orange tints, but the chart cdjr linked to (also available in the Forest Farm catalogue) says the color is gold. Gold is good, but a mixture of red and orange might be better. Can anyone add to my idea about just what the Seiryu color will be? Of course I know different climates, weather, soils, etc. can affect the color, but the difference between what the chart says and Dax's pictures show is so wide I am left wondering.
here is 'sango kaku', taken yesterday.
don't forget the beauty of the red bark in winter, esp. if you have a snowfall!
vertrees' book says yellow/golden fall tones for this one but, down here, the colors are almost identical to what gardengal describes.
(click for larger images)
on a side note, this same book says that 'osakazuki' is reported to have "the most brilliant fall colors (crimson)of any cultivar" as well as "relatively large palmate leaves and is a hardy, strong grower". the picture of this tree in his book seems to glow!
Here are a few more pictures showing the red, orange and yellows of Seiryu:
Looks like you might be very happy with it.
I also have acer takesimense. It is more upright, has nice rounded type leaves and nice fall color like a japonicum. It should also end up being about the size you want. Some paper bark Maples also have nice fall color as was shown above, great winter interest with the bark and are also the size you are looking for. David
Spruceman - 'Seiryu' every year except one has been a beautiful show. Acer japonicum 'Acontifolium' is even more consistent but grows much, much slower.
I'm going to graft a boatload of Maples this winter. Check with me for a nice 2 to 3 footer of 'Seiryu' or whatever come June, I'll send ya one for free.
I have several 'Omurayama' grafts also from this summer... Fantastic cultivar...
I love the Paperbark. I planted one this year. Your's is limbed up like mine. The crown on mine isn't quite as developed as yours. Do you have any idea how old your's is? You can see mine from earlier this year at this link,
Here is a link that might be useful: My paperbark (not fall color)
That's a beauty man. Got some beef to it actually. Mine I got in 2001 while working at a nursery. I swear the thing was 10 feet tall with a trunk as thick as copper pipe for plumbing. It also had like a branching structure the size of one of those things we as kids used to hop around on, that thing that was like a big balloon with handles. It was the weakest looking thing I had ever seen. They gave it to me. Then for about two years it sat there in my yard, same as yours, no peeling...no growing. Then it grew two feet the third year. Then the fourth year it grew 6 inches. Then again the fifth year two feet all in the meantime now the trunk has some girth.
It's a great tree.
Fall color poor for four years. Then wammo!
This year I had a bumper crop of seeds to boot. Man I couldn't be happier.
Well thanks, I like your's too. Their for guys that wear black caps that say on the cap to look out for guys that wear black caps. Kind of like a Chevy truck commercial, you know?
And thanks earlier to the person in zone five for commenting about the 'Acontifolium' and so forth.
Gotta run and take me meds!
See ya guys,
The Captain.
Thanks for the kind offer. Right now my Japanese maple idea is on hold--my wife likes the two spruce trees as they are without any companion plantings. I am always trying to come up with more ideas for planting trees, so I will work more this winter and see what I can come up with. So you may hear from me later.
The best Japanese maple for fall color is Osakazuki. Nothing is as red or as bright. Aconitifolium also has stunning fall color. Glowing Embers has red, yellow, orange, and an almost purple colored leaves in the fall. It has a rainbow of colors in the fall.

Mustache Watch: A Scowling Henry Blanco
Posted By Carson Cistulli On April 5, 2011 @ 9:30 am In Uncategorized | 5 Comments
Mustache Watch continues today thanks to the suddenly helpful Jeff Sullivan of Lookout Landing (and also, it should be noted, of SBN's Hot Corner, where yours truly has submitted some of what I'll call trademark wisdom).
In this edition of the Watch we encounter a still of Henry Blanco from yesterday's Diamondbacks-Cubs game. Blanco's case is a curious one: as the attentive reader will note, his (i.e. Blanco's) facial hair has forced his mouth into a perpetual scowl. I've never seen this personally, but a friend of mine had an uncle with a similar condition.
It goes without saying: the only known remedy is grotesque, inhumane.
