Second time around cupid, hoping it has changed some since my last go. I've decided not to fill in all the blanks, as women are just as bad as men when it comes to judging a book by it's cover. Yes ladies, you look at pics and keep it moving. If we men don't fill in the entire profile, we're lazy, trying to hide things...etc. Truth is, we dont need to fill out a profile we can fill with bullshit, when we can just simply tell you. Sooooooooo basically, ask and I'll be more than willing to answer pretty much anything you'd like to ask. The only real way to get to know someone is by talking to them, not judge or assume just by his/her pics.

Last week Jennifer King, HR Analyst for Software Advice, wrote an article about "Six Things New Hires Should Do in the First 30 Days." Below is an excerpt from that piece:
The first weeks on the job for any new hire can be overwhelming. There are plenty of orientation meetings to attend, training sessions to complete, and new hire paperwork to fill out. While these are all important, here are six things new hires should do on their own within their first 30 days to set themselves up for success.
1. Come up with your elevator pitch.
You only get one chance to make a first impression. So, before you start introducing yourself to everyone, figure out what you're going to say when you meet them.
2. Understand your role and how you will be evaluated.
The responsibilities of the job you were hired for could change by the time you start work. Reach out to your manager about what may have changed, and make sure you have a clear understanding of your current role, responsibilities, and authority before you take on any projects.
3. Learn the business.
Before you can begin to contribute to an organization, you need to figure out how the company works. What are the business objectives? What's the organizational makeup of the company? How does your company do business?
4. Interview your boss.
The key to being a successful new employee is helping your boss be successful. Find out what keeps your boss up at night and come up with creative ways to alleviate those worries.
5. Be ambitious, but have restraint.
You might be eager to start contributing right away and fixing everything wrong you see with the organization. That intention is good, but tread lightly. As a new hire, you won't have the historical context about why a policy or process may or may not need fixing.
6. Be proactive about your onboarding.
One day of orientation and a meet and greet with your team may be the extent of your company's onboarding program. If so, be proactive with your managers about their training plan and what you need to accomplish in your first three months on the job.

Inexpensive glasses recommendations? (vision)
My daughter just got new contacts and we used our insurance benefit on the contacts. I'm looking for a new backup pair for her. Vision place could replace her lenses in her current frames for $230!. I thought I could do better. Any recommendations?
I am happy with mine from Costco..I too use my insurance for contacts, and have gotten two pairs from Costco, They had a better selection of nice inexpensive frames than lens crafters. My grandson gets his at Wall mart, and is happy with his, but I prefer Costco.
I don't live near a Costco, but do a Walmart (everyone does). Is Zenni an online retailer? Sorry, my glasses are reading glasses from the Dollar Tree. My only concern about an online retailer is if they need adjusted. With not buying them locally, would I need to pay to get that done when/if needed?
DD got hers on the internet and was very pleased.
Not sure of the website.
I believe you got to select up to 5 pair of frames, order them, try on, send them all back U.P .S., and pick the one you want them to fill with your RX.
I think the total was about $100. You did need to have a valid RX.
How much does she wear these glasses? We just went through this with my DD as well. I started to get lenses without any bells and whistles. If you are wearing them from the bathroom to bed, do you really need scratch coat, anti-reflection, thinnest lenses available, designer frames? I ended up getting a few of these options but did not get the fanciest options available.
Anyone will adjust your glasses, they do not need to be from that store. They do not ask for proof of purchase or know if glasses came from their place.
I am intrigued by the Internet options.
JC Penney Optical runs great specials on glasses for kids -- especially at the beginning of the school year. For the last two years, I have gotten my daughter's glasses there for $25 total, including the frames. That's only certain frames but there's a good selection, and if you want something else, they just upcharge you a bit -- I think one of her pairs was $40 because she picked an expensive designer frame. I always see ads for their adult specials as well - usually $99/pair. The kids glasses are guaranteed for life with a small copay to replace them if they break -- so far I haven't had to use it though! Not sure if they have the same policy for adult glasses.
Not sure this is applicable as you may have already bought the contacts but if insurance is applied to 1 pair of glasses or contacts through vision works then they allow you to buy up to 10 more at 50% off total frames and lenses. I love it as u can buy two pair for the price of one in addition to my years supply of contacts free with insurance.
Thanks for the replies. I just purchased a year's worth of contacts yesterday because I got a rebate to buy a whole year's worth. She will be 12 soon, so she is in adult frames (That Penney's deal sounds awesome!) We are about an hour and a half from a major mall that would have a place like lens crafters or vision works. Lots of vision places nearby, but none with great deals. She is really liking her contacts but her vision has changed enough that she can only wear her glasses to and from bed, basically. It would be really great for her to have a back-up pair to wear to a sleepover or just on a day when she didn't want to mess with contacts. Looks like I need to watch for great deals, although I think most of those deals are back to school kind of specials. I will look online. I will definitely check out Zenni. Thank you. And good to know that anyone will do an adjustment. I thought you had to buy the glasses from them for that. My daughter's pretty good, but I've taken my son's glasses to be adjusted many times when they were in pieces. He was so rough on them.
One day I will graduate from Dollar tree reading glasses to cute designer frames. I saw some that I really liked!

A Modest Proposal to House Republicans: Cut the Nuclear Weapons Budgettags: nuclear weapons, Republican Party, budget cuts, Lawrence S. Wittner, defense spending
Lawrence S. Wittner (http://lawrenceswittner.com) is Professor of History emeritus at SUNY/Albany. His latest book is "Working for Peace and Justice: Memoirs of an Activist Intellectual" (University of Tennessee Press).
Nuclear explosion from Operation Dominic -- Shot Questa on May 4, 1962. Credit: U.S. Government.
In the heated debates over the federal deficit, you have said repeatedly that you want to cut it without raising taxes and, therefore, that you must reduce government spending.
If that is the case, I have a suggestion for you: Why not start by cutting the nuclear weapons budget?
According to the Ploughshares Fund, the current plans for nuclear weapons and related programs could cost approximately $640 billion over the next decade. This includes some $352 billion to $392 billion spent by the Defense Department (to sustain, operate, and modernize the U.S. strategic nuclear arsenal) and the National Nuclear Security Administration (for weapons activities, administrative costs, and naval reactors), roughly $97 billion for "missile defense" programs, and about $100 billion for environmental and health costs (i.e. managing and cleaning up radioactive and toxic waste resulting from nuclear weapons production and testing activities, as well as compensating victims of such contamination). I think that you will agree that $640 billion is quite a hefty sum and, as such, merits scrutiny by critics of excessive government spending.
Of course, if there were a good reason for this very large expenditure, it might be worth funding. But is there? After all, the United States today possesses some 7,700 nuclear weapons, about 3,000 of which are slated for retirement). Does it have a clear "enemy," as during the Cold War? Well, no, it doesn't. The nearest to possible enemies, in the view of some Americans, are Iran (which has no nuclear weapons) and China (which has a few hundred). Russia, to be sure, possesses about the same number as the United States, but -- despite occasional tensions between the two nations -- Russia seems very unlikely to launch a nuclear attack against this country. Indeed, both nations recently signed a nuclear disarmament agreement (the New START Treaty) under which they are reducing their nuclear arsenals. And how many nuclear weapons are needed to "deter" another nation from attack? In short, the vast and enormously expensive U.S. nuclear weapons production complex is a Cold War dinosaur.
Even more striking, the U.S. government is formally committed to building a nuclear weapons-free world. Speaking in Prague on April 5, 2009, President Barack Obama proclaimed "clearly and with conviction America's commitment to seek the peace and security of a world without nuclear weapons." The nuclear disarmament momentum was continued by a U.N. Security Council "summit," chaired by the American president, that on September 24, 2009 affirmed its commitment to the goal of a world free of nuclear weapons and established a broad framework for reducing nuclear dangers.
In these circumstances, prudent fiscal managers might well ask why this "big government" program should be sustained and expanded over the next ten years.
Furthermore, it is a program that undermines the very free enterprise system that you praise so lavishly. "Pentagon capitalism," as the late Seymour Melman (Professor of Industrial Engineering at Columbia University) once observed, corrodes business competitiveness. This cozy government-business relationship leads companies to depend heavily -- and sometimes exclusively -- upon the federal government for their income. Furthermore, the huge military contracts that keep many corporations alive are often awarded without competitive bidding. Comfortable with fat Pentagon contracts and minimum oversight, businesses learn that they can get away with huge cost overruns. In addition, there is the fact that nuclear weapons programs drain some of the nation's top scientific, engineering, and managerial talent from other, more productive areas of the U.S. economy. Also, of course, if this business product -- the nuclear weapons arsenal -- is never used, it will produce no economic benefit. And, if it is used, it will destroy the world, including the free enterprise system.
Finally, as Republicans in government, you might recall that every Republican president since the advent of nuclear weapons has publicly championed nuclear arms control and disarmament. And some of these presidents -- notably Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, and George W. Bush -- actually presided over substantial reductions of the U.S. nuclear arsenal. It was not Barack Obama but Ronald Reagan -- apparently your favorite modern president -- who, in a speech delivered on January 16, 1984, said: "My dream is to see the day when nuclear weapons will be banished from the face of the earth."
So why not substantially reduce U.S. nuclear weapons spending? Then, of course, you would not have to cut government expenditures for child nutrition programs, for food stamps, for education, for the environment, for Medicaid, for Medicare, and for Social Security.
Or could it be the case that your real goal is to cut these programs?
Well, I'll be watching -- as will millions of other Americans -- to see what you do and, thus, what your priorities really are.

UAS poised to replace human inspectors on pipelines, turbines
GRAND FORKS — The days of observing hundreds of miles of oil pipeline from a plane or dangling 200 feet in the air from a wind tower may soon be behind structural inspectors.
Some companies are developing technology that would allow unmanned aircraft systems to step in and do these often dangerous tasks in less time and at a reduced cost.

Letter to GenderTrender from a 'Trans Man'
February 24, 2015
Why do you spend all your time hating on lesbian trans women rather than gay male assigned at birth misogynists and male identified people who rape those stuck with a hole in the front? Also, I don't see anyone pillaging from lesbian culture, because your lot, like straight men, are the most aesthetically challenged of all. I may have been unlucky enough to be born without a penis, but don't you dare assume all trans men were ugly butch dykes who dominated your precious femmes before transitioning. Some trans men were every bit as disgusted as going near a woman sexually as they were with having woman parts, and felt that way before going on t or getting those gross udders obliterated surgically. Heterosexual relationships are an unsexy pit of dominance and submission, and lesbians just imitate this dynamic, albeit with even worse taste in music. And if you hate trans men so much, why do you butches all bind your boobs, have crewcuts, use male nicknames, throttle your femmes with strap ons, don't let your femmes touch you during sex, and act no different than some rage a holic bubba who beats the missus if she puts too much mayo on your sammich? As a trans man who bangs men up the ass and enjoys a loving, long term, egalitarian relationship with my beautiful feminine gay boyfriend who was born with a penis, I am endlessly curious about you bullies and your masochistic laydee friends.
Before I transitioned and got to join my hot feminine gay boyfriend in the men's room, I was way more scared of the mean looking bulldaggers and the lipstick licking pregnancy obsessed bimbos in the wombmoon's room than i ever would be of a trans girl who just wants to do her business and get out of there. Oh, and even more scary? Cow mothers bringing their already predatory male children in there and letting their boy brats peek under the stalls. Of course, all the silly uterus-brains find chulllldren adorable. Gag.
This argument might be valid if all trans women were pre op and wanted to penetrate at all costs, and if lesbians didn't storm the sex shops to buy painful fake penises in order to feel manly by slamming their submissive, orgasm faking wifey's innards and giving her urinary tract infections. Until strap on dildos in lesbian sex shops are as nonexistent as gay men buying "jenna Jameson's strap on pussy " from gay male sex shops, you silly macho ladies don't have a leg to stand on. And really, that's why you hate trans women so much…they don't have to deal with all the gross parts of womanhood (pms, bleeding, yeast, no orgasms, rape threat, gynecologist, menopause, pregnasty, cellulite, etc) and you do!

"We cannot allow censorship and silencing of individuals
Universities have a particular responsibility to resist this kind of bullying
The Observer, Friday 13 February 2015 19.04 EST
The fate of Kate Smurthwaite's comedy show, cancelled by Goldsmith's College in London last month ("What could be more absurd than censorship on campus", Nick Cohen, Comment) is part of a worrying pattern of intimidation and silencing of individuals whose views are deemed "transphobic" or "whorephobic". Most of the people so labelled are feminists or pro-feminist men, some have experience in the sex industry, some are transgender.
Last month, there were calls for the Cambridge Union to withdraw a speaking invitation to Germaine Greer; then the Green party came under pressure to repudiate the philosophy lecturer Rupert Read after he questioned the arguments put forward by some trans-activists. The feminist activist and writer Julie Bindel has been "no-platformed" by the National Union of Students for several years.
"No platforming" used to be a tactic used against self-proclaimed fascists and Holocaust-deniers. But today it is being used to prevent the expression of feminist arguments critical of the sex industry and of some demands made by trans activists. The feminists who hold these views have never advocated or engaged in violence against any group of people. Yet it is argued that the mere presence of anyone said to hold those views is a threat to a protected minority group's safety.
YOU are a TERF!!! TERF!!! TERF!!!

Germaine Greer to women at Cambridge Union: "kick ass and take names and talk loud and make a crowd"
January 28, 2015
Iconic feminist Germaine Greer kicked off her UK tour in support of "Disappearing Women" at the Cambridge Union Society this Monday evening past, in what was reported to be a rousing, triumphant success. Attempts by anti-feminist transgender activists to have her speech censored failed, potential threats by males who believe they are female were ameliorated by frisking attendees at the doors, and she spoke to a packed house.
From the Cambridge Varsity:
"Despite the queue created by the heightened security measures, the atmosphere of the crowd was eager but not angry – there were few signs of protest except for a few LGBT+ representatives handing out leaflets at the door. They declined to comment on their decision to boycott the event, and there was little of the sense of outrage that had characterised the statements of the LGBT+ community.
Greer was uncompromising in her rhetoric, condemning from the beginning of her speech the "pressure on women to be clean, sweet, perfumed and submissive" and later suggested that trans women do not know what it is to "have a big, hairy, smelly vagina". Greer was robust in her championing of the woman as an autonomous person and was anxious not to be diverted into what she described as "side issues".
Witty and acerbic, Greer had the audience laughing throughout; describing the Sun website as a "fantasmagoria of nipples" whilst simultaneously speaking passionately and intensely about her notion of "the disappearing woman".
She cited examples of cases in which women are judged but go unheard, condemning the fact that "nobody bothers to investigate" the perspective of women such as Amanda Hutton, who was widely reviled in the media. Her championing of sexual liberation and power for women was clear as she invited her audience to "kick ass and take names and talk loud and make a crowd".
In the wake of the LGBT+ Cambridge campaign and its recent domination of student media, audience members were relentless in their questioning of Greer on her exclusion of transgender women from her feminist ideas. Greer remained steadfast in her stipulation that her feminism was about women and appeared visibly angered by the fact that discussion lingered upon what she clearly felt to be a side issue: "I've got 51 per cent of the world to think about and I've got to talk about transphobia".
When a student quoted her own words back to her she did not compromise her previous position and repeated the word "delusion" to describe the wish of men to become women, causing a stir amongst the audience with her antipathy towards any presentation of men in drag: "I hate Mrs Brown".
However, such discussion was secondary to Greer's address of the body image problems of the 21st century. She explicitly stated that it remained the obligation of feminists to rage against the pressure on women to "have a baby and then go back to looking like a 12 year old boy ten days later".
Strident and controversial as ever – describing Harriet Harman as "not smart enough" and referring to The Guardian Newspaper as "the fucking Guardian" – Greer seemed piqued but unfazed by the opposition of students to her speech because of her transgender views.
Her message to students was clear and impassioned. "We need to recognise women as human beings," she said, and demanded of her female audience that they "toughen up; be more difficult. Be braver."
A small "boycott" event was held in response in a classroom elsewhere by anti-feminist transgenderists. Organized by Em Travis, a feminine young woman who identifies as "internally non-binary transgender" the protest event featured two male transsexuals who campaign against feminism and lesbian rights. The first, Andrew "Roz" Kaveney, is best known as the founder of "Feminists Against Censorship", a deceptively named organization whose purpose is to protect and promote the "rights" of transwomen and other males to consume what is defined in the UK as "extreme violent pornography": that which depicts what appear to be "life-threatening or seriously injurious" acts. In Kaveney's topsy-turvy world, "being female" is a lifestyle choice for men, and "Feminism" is the active promotion of the most violent sexualized acts against women imaginable.
The other middle-aged male selected by transtrender Em Travis to chair her event was Christopher "Aunty Sarah" Brown, an anti-gay activist who was formally protested by women at London's Dyke March this year.
According to the Varsity, Greer's brash and humorous tone was not duplicated at the protest event, where: "The [transgender] talk took place in a mindful and open atmosphere created by the strict and very comprehensive guidelines – including the use of verbal trigger warnings when addressing potentially offensive or harmful content – to which all audience members closely adhered."
Males (both transgender and not) continue to pearl-clutch in the wake of Germaine Greer's presentation: over her frank speech, but mainly over her lack of capitulation to transgenderism, a view they seemed to desperately want to hear, over and over again. Expect this formula to rinse and repeat as the legendary Woman's Liberationist continues her appearances on her "Disappearing Women" tour across the UK. Do catch her at an upcoming scheduled event near you!
"Don't Worry About It, Women. Men know better than you." *DIRECT ACTION at University of Bristol
January 19, 2015
This past November, signs placed in restrooms at the University of Bristol by a group of Trans Activists "came under fire from the feminist community".
You can read one response to the signs (pictured above) by Glosswitch HERE, where she says:
"Hey, check out this poster from #transawarebristol! Isn't it inclusive? Isn't it liberating? Doesn't it say everything you'd want it to say? No more shall bigoted females take it upon themselves to have opinions about who should share enclosed spaces with them; after all, it's not up to them! Fuck them and their irrational, hysterical little phobias! Only some people are allowed to feel threatened, or to have an idea about what womanhood means, and it sure as hell isn't them. Other people know best.
I'll be honest: I am struggling to see how this type of "don't worry your pretty little head about this, proto-bigot" approach to gender liberation is of use to anyone. Women don't worry about personal safety for the fun of it, nor do they seek to set their own boundaries just because they're stupid and mean. They have fears relating to male bodies that are real and valid, and a sense of self that is as authentic as anyone else's. Telling them "well, you shouldn't – other people's feelings come first" is just misogyny 101."
University of Bristol women have since taken to replacing the signs with these, in protest:
Men who fancy themselves "transwomen" claim to be mystified as to why females would be concerned about their personal safety sharing areas of public nudity with males.
"Why? I have no idea", writes John "Jane Fae" Ozimek, a transgender bloke well over six foot two, in an Independent op-ed today.
"I get that there are still debates to be had about gender and sex and biology and genes", he says with a handwave. But the only answer he, as a male, can imagine is that women must be worried about his "farty sounds". Whatever women's concerns are for safety and comfort are of no concern to a male like him. He instructs real women to know their place: "..the user of a loo knows their own gender better than you, and it is not for you to challenge it."
GenderTrender applauds and encourages this direct action and protest by the women of the University of Bristol against Female Erasing Trans Activism and sexist, patronizing anti-women "transwomen" like "Fae".
EXCELLENT WORK, women!

You might be right about Southern Hemi hops - I didn't factor that into my thoughts. English and Czech, I would assume, should be available shortly.
Nix what I just said about Mosaic. You are correct - it is a Simcoe/Nugget type of hop not Citra. I need to find the article on the article on the Citra sub which has the name of the new hop.
Meridian is the name of the new hop that I was thinking of. Very Citra like according to reports.

School Bench Project
Been awhile! Several months ago, I was asked by the school my grandsons attend if I would help with a project for their annual fun night fundraiser. They wanted to do a mosaic garden bench and what did I think? I asked for ideas on this and another forum and several of you gave helpful suggestions. Then the teachers said...there are two classrooms (3rd & 4th) and could we do TWO different ones...I said sure, (must have been insane at a week moment!). They are almost finished so thought it was time to share a few photos....
I have learned so much from this...and it has been quite an experience but if they bring a good price...all the work will be worth it....teaching 40 students (All in one sitting!) was truly an eye opener, and I appreciate what our teachers do each and every day!
One bench still needs to be grouted which I plan to do this evening. The handprint one needs a final clean up, and sealing.
The dinner/auction will be held on March 28, and parents and grandparents of the students will bid for them. We added each students picture to their mosaic so it would identify each individual student...which should bring a higher price. I am going to ask that they NOT be put outside but used in an entryway, a sun porch or four season room, or anywhere inside.
But I am going to miss the evening, as I will be at the SAMA conference. But you can bet I will be on the cell phone to see what the final bids ends up being!
Here are the tops of the two benches.
If interested in more pictures, go to my photobucket folder to see the process.
OHMYGOODNESS, BECKY: Those are the most beautifully mosaiced benches I ever saw. They're so bright and cheerful, and expertly executed. Did each child mosaic his/her subject? They are very artistic. Did they choose the colors? The ball chain - or bbs - really help define the shapes. Absolutely spectacular. Congratulations. It'll bring a hefty price. Anxious for that amount. What a wonderful project - you gave so much.
Thank you for all the kind words!
I finished grouting the second one tonight. Now to clean them up good and seal them. Yes, the kids got to pick out the glass and color to use.
I wanted to actually use their own handprint, but they were too big. I had to get 20 hands on the top. So we just used a pattern from a coloring book. The same with the sun, stars & moon patterns. I had all the glass cut and tumbled and they each picked out their color.
I had to use the ball chain. Some of the hand prints were hard to tell what they were! One looked like a skeleton hand! And the other edward scissor hands! By using the ball chain, it defined each one so much better. I went to the hardware store and explained what I was doing. (They just couldn't understand!) They special ordered me a 100 ft roll and sold it to me at their cost since it was for the school. I am going to take a picture back there and show them. But then again, they are used to me coming in with "odd" requests!)
The kids pictures are on the back of 1/2 clear marbles. That was a story in itself! I ended up doing them three times. The first time, the kids glued their school picture on the back...some got glue between the picture and the back of the glass. Made the pictures all cloudy. So i took them all apart and redid them with another glue that dried clear...BUT there was a chemical reaction between the color ink of the pictures and the glue...just ate the ink all up and turned them into colored "blobs"! So the third time, used different ink & papter and glue. It worked thank heavens!
I will let you all know what they bring. I am very anxious to see.
This was a fun project to do, but so many hours! But the kids were so proud of their own work it made me happy to be part of it.
Well, you did such a good job of directing, and I'm sure your hard work w/be forever appreciated. After all, mosaics lasts for a very loooooong time. Oh, the lucky persons that w/take these benches home. I know you are proud of your contribution. Kids need more art taught in their schools, and I can't think of a better one that mosaics.
Well, we held the "unveiling" this morning and I wish you could have heard the kids cries of delight! There were lots of ohhs & ahhs and best of all...."thanks you's & many hugs!"
I almost cried! Anyway, my part is finished-they will be auctioned off Saturday, March 28.
Here is pics of the finished benches & a group pic of the kids and myself.

This post provides some great audio and video tools that you might consider using with students. We know that students are engaged when multimedia comes into the classroom...and what better way to engage them than to have them become creators through the use of multimedia.
Learn about tools such as:
* Matterhorn, a free tool that "enables teachers to create recordings of lectures and classes." Are you thinking of flipping your class? If so you should check out this tool.
* Jing - another free tool that allows you to capture what is happening on the screen of your computer and then share it with others. How about having students demonstrate ways to solve math problems, and post them online?
* Splicd - Is that YouTube video too long? Determine which section you want and grab that specific section. Save it to your hard drive and you ready to go...without taking time to fast foward to the necessary section.
* UJam - Another free tool this one allows you to create and remix music and film.
Three more tools are listed in the post so click through to check them out!

Some nice resources here and I'm curious to try a couple.
Beth Dichter's curator insight, June 15, 2013 10:13 PM
StoryToolz provides seven resources to help authors.
* The Story Idea Generator "picks a random conflict from each of the Internet Public Library's list of 7 plots, 20 plots, and 36 plots."
* Random Conflicts combines "the Internet Public Library's list of 7 plots, 20 plots, and 36 plots" and "randomly presents 10."
* Word Count Meters allows you to keep track of and share your progress.
* Readability - This tool analyzes your text. It will tell you the reading level (based on a number of different indexes); sentence information, including the number of characters, words, paragraphs and more; word usage; and sentence beginnings (type of word).
* Half Title Generator - Select from a list of beginnings and then for ends of a title and see what comes up!
* Example Word Count Meters - show actual word counts of existing projects as well as the goal
* Cliche Buster - Reviews your text and lets you know if it finds any cliches.
This tool would most likely work best with students in middle school, high school and college. Students might also use it as a tool to check their story before having a peer edit the story.
Corey Durward's curator insight, July 21, 2013 8:55 PM
StoryToolz is a nice ensemble of useful tools for writers. Writers who are struggling to come up with ideas for their prose will like the story starters - random idea generators for plots, conflicts and titles. StoryToolz also provides tools that will analyse your work, identify clichés in your writing, and evaluate its readability.

Hmmm....again, some good things here, but much of this seems directed at business pitch-type presentations. For example, this lists data-rich presentations as something you should avoid. You need to FOCUS and EMPHASIZE data rich presentations.

Not research per se, but an e-book aimed at training teachers. Includes units on using apps and tools and fpcsing in general on the teaching of writing in the so-called 'digital age'.
No mere pamhplet either, this is a proper book!

* Integrate critical thinking skills within and across all content areas

The Epilepsy Foundation of Arizona may be a small organization with a tiny office and a short employee list, however, they don't let that limit their reach or impact on the market they serve. If you have questions or need any information regarding epilepsy, they are the best source of information. The Foundation is always happy to help with any issue or project that is taken to them.

The EFAZ has a strong mission but unfortunately does not have the support it needs from the community. In over 20 years in the non-profit sector have I ever experienced a board that was disconnected from the organization. They did not participate in fundraising or assist in recruiting corporate partners or solicit new members. I fear that this organization may not have enough sustainability to make it through 2010.
The Great!
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
almost a year and yet it has not grown.
Ways to make it better...
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
Revamp the board and review the military program that does not generate any income.
More feedback...

meeting new people.
The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...

If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
Sustain itself for years to come.

Recruiting board members and corporate partners.
