Tales and Thoughts from Digiduchess

Professional Growth 2014-15
The two SMART Goals that were met were:
Goal #1: By the end of the 2014-2015 school year, 80% of gifted 4th grade students will score a seven or higher using the FSA writing rubric as evidenced by the district writing assessment.
Goal #2: By the end of the 2014-15 school year, 80% of the fourth grade gifted students will be reading at or above grade level as measured by their Developmental Reading Assessments.
Goal #2: By the end of the 2014-15 school year, 80% of the fourth grade gifted students will be reading at or above grade level as measured by their Developmental Reading Assessments.
Based on observation and data collected within the gifted program I feel that Making Thinking Visible Routines, scaffolding of strategies, interactive notebooks, defining expectations, and our collaborations with others have all worked together to make an impact on my students' growth this year.
First, I really feel that our work with Making Thinking Visible Routines or Visual Thinking (MTV) truly deepen the thinking that went on within the four walls of the gifted program, which in turn improved my students writing. This happened over and over again at all grade levels. Good writing starts with good thinking and these simple routines do a great job of guiding students in deepening their thinking around just about any subject matter. Students reflections within their interactive notebooks were nothing, but positive towards these routines. The routines touch on the affective side of the students' thinking. Although deeper thinking was required of my students they relish and invite this thanks to the guides of these routines. I am a real big fan!! Over the last couple months, I have been working with Susan Bowdoin, Media Specialist, Instructional Coach and Discovery Education friend from Albuquerque, New Mexico to produce a few Spotlight On Strategies (SOS) blog post for MTV Routines to be published on the DE website. I only promote strategies that work well with my students and I truly believe The MTV Routines have had the biggest impact on the Gifted Program this year. I am looking forward to next year to continue our work with them. When something works I feel obligated to say so and the first of these post on DE was published on May 12th.
Still there were times when I noticed that MTV Routines and other graphic organizers had to be scaffolded to help students take their thinking and organize it into a piece of writing. This really came to light as I watched students conduct research and organized notes into their interactive notebooks, but then never return to the materials to finish a task. This was an issue across the board at all grade levels and at both schools so that is when I began to start playing around with scaffolding. This is ongoing brain mental work for me and I am constantly adjusting for age and ability of the groups I work with. It is not always perfect, but I have seen some improvement. In December I shared an example of this in a blog post " Who is Santa?- A Lesson Comparison Writing" .
Another area I am still working on with the students to define expectations for different purposes of writing and even pieces of writing. For example; we spend some time creating a list of what a good reading response is, what is meant by text evidence, what is a good reflective piece.... for each grade level or group. I am still trying to work on how to make these charts...readily available for each group with the space I have. Trying to find the balance between having a literacy rich environment, but not creating an ADHD student's nightmare. We also worked with the utilized a rubric designed by 5th grade teachers in hopes of getting them ready. Admittedly, this is an area I struggle with and will continue to work. I need to bring the students more into this process of defining what good and/or complete work. (See change to the plan for more on that)
Finally, I believe in our need to create and participate in Collaborative Learning Communities where relationships are fostered and learning takes place in the context of those relationships. Although my original thoughts on this plan was that would just collaborate with fourth grade, I feel it doesn't paint the whole picture of my collaboration in relationship to these goals. I do my best to model my participation within several different communities of learners. I have a reached out to educators on both Oneco and Prine Elementary Schools campus, visited different grade level meeting, participated in book clubs (Making Thinking Visible, To Understand, Learning in the Fast Lane….), held many impromptu conversations in the hallway (many around these ELA goals), and popped into certain teachers classrooms to unofficially observe . Also, thanks to organization like Discovery Education and other interactions online I have been able to build an active Professional Learning Network (PLN) that is a priceless resource for me (esp. in my current position). I am in contact with other educators throughout the US and beyond daily through text, email, Twitter, Facebook, Google Hangout/Skype, Edmodo.... and much of that work relates to these ELA Goals. Through my PLN I have been about to collaborate, plan, and implement several projects related too and design to hone the standards within these two goals. There were our two online Virtual Literature Circles (Oneco 5th graders with a Private Middle School in Iowa/Oneco 4th with two schools in Escambia County, Florida). During these virtual literature circles ELA skills were honed through; Interactive notebook, reflective writing, MTV Routines and scaffolding of strategies. Through each of these books, students' responses grew to be more well thought and deepened throughout the process (especially, in the case of Chasing Lincoln's Killer by James L. Swanson). I truly believe this was achieved by defining expectations and the ongoing modeling within Edmodo by myself and the other educators involved. I have chronicled most of the fifth graders' experience with virtual literature circles on my blog Thoughts and Tales of Digiduchess and these post were all tagged Reading Across State Lines. On a side note, when students were asked to chose their three favorite activity in Gifted - Virtual Literacy Circles was number three. I felt like this was pretty impressive since 17 (K-3 students) out of 33 had not even participate.
Next Year's Plan
Due some of the weaker areas on my formal evaluation, exposure to Ellin Keene this Spring, reading her book To Understand, students' reflections, responses to our class climate surveys, and conversations with other educators I have decided to focus on creating a culture of thinking. In the spirit of beginning with the end in mind, I feel that I must define exactly what is meant by a culture of thinking and I will admit that I am borrowing this definition from my current reading Creating Cultures of Thinking: The 8 Forces We Must Master to Truly Transform Our Schools by Ron Richhart (Havard Researcher). The book states that within a culture of thinking: the focus should be on on the learning and not the work, teachers should teach for understanding rather than knowledge or facts, deep strategy work should be stressed, and independence should be encouraged.
Over the last several years, I feel I have been exposed to, read about, began to implement many useful strategies in creating a culture of thinking (Interactive Notebooks, (MTV) routines just to name a few) …. and I need more time to dig deep, assess, refine and repeat this process. With this in mind, I would like to set up some sort of true Action Research, as spelled out in the book, The Reflective Educator's Guide to Classroom Research: Learning to Teach and Teaching to Learn Through Practitioner Inquiry by Nancy Fichtman Dana and Diane Yendol-Hoppey.
Some of the specific areas I would like to focus on next year would be:
-Classroom Talk-
Teacher responses/ guiding thinking/setting up expectations.
Student talk/strategies/ moves to encourage deeper thinking.
-Classroom physical environment that focus on deepening students thinking. This would include everything from furniture to student resources (ex. Anchor charts how to use them effectively without being overrun by them. With a small space and different grade levels rotating through that space this is a huge challenge………..)
To achieve these goals I would like to:
-Observe teachers with strengthens that I would like to tap into. For example, I would really like to start with K. Lim's classroom and observe "A Grand Conversation".
-I would like to be officially put on the 5th grade team. I have visited a couple of their meetings and feel this is a team I could truly collaborate with. I have discussed joining them and have been assured that they would be in agreement with this. We have also spoken about me joining their book study this summer on To Understand by E. Keene. I have read it, loved it and participated with J. Bradley this year. However, time was limited for book discussion and would love to discuss this book further.
- I need to finish reading both Creating Cultures of Thinking: The 8 Forces We Must Master to Truly Transform Our Schools by Ron Richhart and The Reflective Educator's Guide to Classroom Research: Learning to Teach and Teaching to Learn Through Practitioner Inquiry by Nancy Fichtman Dana and Diane Yendol-Hoppey.
-Throughout the 2015-16 school year, I need to be systematic about recording and completing self evaluations on these specific areas (possibly peer evaluations) on lessons….. Might use Danielson rubric to help guide these self evaluations, but would be open to others as well.
-Throughout the year conduct stakeholder surveys that relate specifically areas of improvements.
-Incorporate other ideas from Creating a Culture of Thinking (ex. "Uncovering the Story of Your School or Classroom" page 35 and "My Reflections on Learning Activities in this Class" Appendix A).
In other words, I would like to dig deep, experiment, collect data (that relates more specifically to moves being made), adjust and repeat to improve the atmosphere of thinking in my classroom.

Reading Across State Lines- Round 2 (Week 7)
- Interactive Notebooks
- Chasing Lincoln's Killer by James L. Swanson
-Heart and Soul: The Story of America and African Americans by Kadir Nelson
-Willing to Be Disturbed by Margaret J. Wheatley
· Introduction Whole Class/partners
· Warm Up
· To start out with I will pull up three images related to the Reconstruction. I just did a Google Image search for the images (there are plenty to choose from there).
· With these images students will participate in the Visual Thinking/MTV Routine See- Think- Wonder
· Students true in their Interactive Gifted Notebook to page_____(next page of Chasing Lincoln's Killer) and create three vertical columns (See-Think-Wonder).
· Students will be asked to take two minutes and record on everything they SEE.
· In pairs students will share what they have recorded and encourage to add anything from their partners list that they may have missed.
· Students will be asked to take two minutes and record on everything they THINK.
· In pairs students will discuss their list.
· Students will be asked to take two minutes and record on everything they Wonder.
· In pairs students will discuss their list .
Heart of the Lesson:
· -Read aloud and discuss Chapter 5 /Reconstruction of Heartand Soul: The Story of America and African Americans by Kadir Nelson.
· Example Questions and Talking Points (There maybe other questions that come to mind that morning):
· -Page 19-What are some the issues might caused for African Americans by the laws in slavery times-most black folks couldn't own property, vote, learn to read…..?
· -Page 20- "The Confederate dollar wasn't worth a cup of red Georgia clay." I will talk about this in hopes to make it clear to the students.
· -Page 20- In you words tell your partner how the ol' master was a crook.
· -Then tell your partner how the ol' master would have justified his actions.
· -Page 21- What was the meaning of –"The North had won the Civil War had won the Civil War; but the South, it won Reconstruction." What evidence was shared in this piece proofs that?
· -At this point, I will model with ex-slave and using Center of Viewpoint Routine .
· -Then, I will assign students roles: plantation owner and ex-Union solider and have them complete one of these routines.
· 1. I am thinking of [name the event/issue] from the point of view of…
· 2. I think…[describe the topic from your viewpoint. Be an actor—take on the character of your viewpoint]. Because…[explain your reasoning]
· 3. A question/concern I have from this viewpoint is…"
· Students with the same role will get together to discuss their responses.
· Closure
· Students will meet for a discussion group. Sharing how their roles point of view is the same or different roles. They will be encouraged to explain their thinking.
· Independent: Read "Willing to Be Disturbed"
· Model: I will return to text and model my thinking of how an ex-slave might have benefited form this artcle. Then Students will respond to the prompt in your Interactive Gifted Notebook.
· Prompt: Write a letter from the student in 2015 to someone in your role back during The Southern Reconstruction using the knowledge from the pieces we have read and our discussion. The following were meant to be rough drafts and the focus was content.

KASASA, Congo | On a winter night shortly after dark, a group of armed men burst out of the jungle and attacked a small camp here for displaced families.
By dawn, the rebels had massacred scores of civilians, pillaged crops and other valuables and left tents and huts ablaze.
But U.N. peacekeepers in a base camp less than a mile away did not hear the guns, grenades or screams, nor were they alerted by villagers who had the base's cell phone numbers, the local U.N. commander said.
The most expensive peacekeeping operation in U.N. history, with an annual budget of $1.24 billion, the Democratic Republic of the Congo mission known by its French acronym as MONUC has an authorized strength of 20,575 soldiers and military observers, and hundreds of civilians. Despite its size and resources, the 9-year-old mission has failed to pacify this tumultuous region.
"We have a large mandate, the country is huge, and there is obviously no peace to keep," U.N. Undersecretary-General for Peacekeeping Alain Le Roy told The Washington Times.
Col. Nambir Singh Vashishta, commander of the Indian battalion at the time of the raid in Kasasa, said Congolese expectations are too high.
"There are only so many soldiers here, for an area the size of Western Europe," he said. "We have one soldier for every thousand people."
The active combatants in eastern Congo — a patchwork of Rwandan- and Ugandan-financed militias and the unstable Congolese national army — have pushed MONUC into a more aggressive stance, closer to peace enforcement than peacekeeping.
It is not easy work: More than 140 MONUC personnel have been killed in the line of duty since 1999.
Conduct among the force has hardly been exemplary. Human rights groups say the peacekeepers have been involved in sexual and other exploitation of civilians among the 10 million who reside in the war-ravaged eastern region known as the Kivus.
"The Congolese government's military operations have been a disaster for civilians, who are now being attacked from all sides," said Kenneth Roth, executive director of Human Rights Watch. "Congo and the U.N. need to take urgent measures to protect people and keep this human rights catastrophe from getting even worse."
Alan Doss, the U.N. secretary-general's special envoy for Congo, told reporters in Kinshasa in late July that "a very small number of peacekeepers have abused the trust of the Congolese people in the past, and the overwhelming majority who serve with honor in this mission resent the damage that a few individuals can do to the credibility of peacekeeping."
He added, "What we are talking about here is zero tolerance for any behavior that disrespects women and girls and the communities in which they live."
MONUC has repatriated more than 70 peacekeepers for sexual abuse and exploitation, but U.N. officials acknowledge that they rarely find out whether a straying blue helmet has been punished by his own government.
The problems are compounded by the displacement of more than 1 million civilians from their native villages. U.N. officials estimate that 1.7 million Kivu civilians have been displaced this year alone. Oxfam International estimates that half that number have fled their homes since March. Many displaced families live for years in ad hoc camps of tiny huts of thatch, mud and tarp that are particularly vulnerable to attack.

SAN JOSE, CA – My colleague, Jeanette Gibson, was on a blogging panel this week and Valleywag.com was there and this here blog you are reading right now got a nice plug on their site. Check it out here: http://www.valleywag.com/tech/cisco/. Okay, it was "check out Cisco's High Tech Policy Blog" but I'll take what I can get.I had a busy week in Monterey assisting with the arrangements of a guest speaker at our annual Leadership offsite and will blog on that next week. Hint: the guest speaker is from Arkansas, lives in New York, has a wife who is a Senator, has a buddy from Tennessee, and used to have the launch codes.
Shout Out to Valleywag.com
Eloquent Words From Qwest CEO
SAN JOSE, CA – Rather than replying to a comment from my last post I thought I would recommend the reading of a recent op-ed in the Wall Street Journal by Qwest CEO Richard Notebaert. Recent, as in March 29th.In defining the net neutrality debate, he offers the following analogy: "Say you decide to buy sweaters for holiday gifts. You calculate the price, add the cost for standard delivery, and send in your order. But L.L. Bean says "Hey, in the spirit of the season, we're going to provide express delivery at no extra cost to the customer. We'll work with Fed Ex to cover the gap between standard and expedited service." Would we get government involved to stop it? Would it even occur to us to object? If Lands' End said, "Not fair," would we rally to its aid? And would the fact that other outdoor clothing providers might one day decide to enter the market justify turning a history and tradition of business practice on its head? Not a chance."Very interesting point and very well said. You can use your own noodle to substitute for FexEx, L.L. Bean and Land's End in this debate. Even though the Wall Street Journal has identified me as a "high-ranking executive" (see blog entry from April 3, 2006), Mr. Notebaert really is a high-ranking executive and has chosen his analogies and words more carefully than I in attempting to define the net neutrality debate. Must be the reason he is the CEO and I am not…yet. : )
Net Neutrality Debate is a "False Choice"
Today, I was talking to Robert Pepper, former long-time FCC'er and current Cisco colleague, and he described Net Neutrality as a "false choice." The way the debate has currently been framed has it as an all or nothing scenario, i.e. you need to regulate or legislate or, the alternative, consumers get it in the shorts. This is just patently false. It is also too bad that some in this debate are trying to make this consumers vs. businesses. Do you really think that the big businesses who are arguing to legislate net neutrality have the best interests of consumers in mind? Sure they do…as long as it also makes them a buck. Our argument has been give to everybody access to legal appications on the internet but to allow providers to optimize the consumer experience, much like cell phone companies do. Let me 'splain: If you only want to talk a little bit, then you only pay a little bit. If you want to talk a lot, then you pay more. If you only use your phone at certain times during the day (i.e. nights or weekends) then you can get a package that provides for that as well. In my mind, this is all providers are asking for – flexibility to give the consumers the best experience.The OTT's (over the top providers) are saying that the government must legislate or regulate to keep providers from BLOCKING access. How many times has this actually happened you might ask. Um, that would be "What is once, Alex?" That's right. Once. And the FCC quickly acted on this ONE misstep by a provider. Leave well enough alone…nothing is being blocked…and if something is blocked then there is already a mechanism for the FCC to act.
"The future is here. It's just not evenly distributed yet."
SAN JOSE, CA – This is a very interesting quote from science fiction writer William Gibson which I heard on KQED's California Report this morning as they were doing a profile on the California Institiute for Telecommunications and Information Technology (Cal IT2) at the University of California at San Diego. I encourage you to check out their site. It is definitely a nice feather in the hat of American innovation and the university system in California and the U.S.They are doing very cool, APPLICABLE technology projects there and it, of course, made me think of what we're doing here at Cisco. Some we can talk about and, of course, some not so much.Some cool technology that we are currently showing internally is something I think is going to have a big impact. Can't talk about it now, but I'll leave you with this question: Will it revolutionize business travel? We will see, but as Mr. Gibson says, the future is here.So, based on this, here's my new Cisco tagline co-opted from many sources: "Cisco: The Future of Telecommunications. Now." I haven't run that by marketing…and I haven't quit my day job…but, that's just out and out gold… : )
Immigration in the Spotlight…or is it Education?
SAN JOSE, CA – Today, and recently, there has been a big focus on the immigration debate in the U.S….as well as in other developed nations. Since I'm in the U.S. and a little closer to this debate, I'm going to focus my thoughts on this side of the ponds…and less on amnesty or a worker program then on the highly-skilled and highly-educated workers that are needed to motor economies.In this "world is flat" or world 2.0 era, if you will, the jobs will go to where the best educated workforces are – and (commercial) Cisco provides the technologies that allows for anywhere, anytime, seamless communications. The U.S. still has great universities that attract the best talent around the world. Noted Silicon Valley venture capitalist and education advocate John Doerr has stated that he thinks that all advanced degrees in the fields of science, technology, engineering or math (the so-called STEM majors) obtained by foreign nationals should have a green card attached to them. Those U.S. educated workers, he argues, should be encouraged to stay and contribute to the U.S. economy rather than being forced to go back to their home countries – where, by the way, there are more and more opportunities for them.

R.I.P. Chantal Akerman; Colin Healey on "Homemakers"; Rick Moranis isn't retired; Taking a stand against sexism in Hollywood; Eli Roth on "Knock Knock."
He's provided an entirely new conclusion, taking us inside the alien spaceship that visits at the end of the film.
He's provided more motivation for the strange behavior of the Richard Dreyfuss character who is compelled by "psychic implanting" to visit the Wyoming mountain where the spaceship plans to land.
He's added additional manifestations of UFO intervention in earthly affairs -- including an ocean-going freighter deposited in the middle of the Gobi Desert.
In addition to the sensational ending, he's added more special effects throughout the film. One shot seems like a lighthearted quote from Spielberg's own "Jaws." In that film, a high-angle shot showed the shadow of the giant shark passing under a boat. In this one, a high-angle shot shows the shadow of a giant UFO passing over a pickup truck.
Spielberg's decision to revise the original version of "Close Encounters" is all but unprecedented. Some directors have remade their earlier films (Hitchcock did British and American versions of "The Man Who Knew Too Much"), and others have thought out loud about changes they'd like to make (Robert Altman wanted to edit a nine-hour version of "Nashville" for TV). And countless directors, of course, have given us sequels -- "part two" of their original hits.
Spielberg's Special Edition is sort of a "Close Encounters: Part 1-1/2." It is also a very good film. I thought the original film was an astonishing achievement, capturing the feeling of awe and wonder we have when considering the likelihood of life beyond the Earth. I gave that first version a four-star rating. This new version gets another four stars: It is, quite simply, a better film -- so much better that it might inspire the uncharitable question, "Why didn't Spielberg make it this good the first time?"
His changes fall into three categories. He has (1) thrown away scenes that didn't work, like the silly sequence in which Dreyfuss dug up half of his yard in an attempt to build a model of the mountain in his vision; (2) put in scenes he shot three years ago but did not use, such as the Gobi sequence and Dreyfuss flipping out over the strange compulsion that has overtaken him, and (3 )shot some entirely new scenes.
The most spectacular of these is the new ending, which shows us what Dreyfuss sees when he enters the spacecraft. He sees a sort of extraterrestrial cathedral, a limitless interior space filled with columns of light, countless sources of brilliance, and the machinery of an unimaginable alien technology. (The new special effects were designed by the underground artist R. Cobb, I understand; no credit is given.) This new conclusion gives the movie the kind of overwhelming final emotional impact it needed; it adds another dimension to the already impressive ending of the first version.
The movie gains impact in another way. Spielberg has tightened up the whole film. Dead ends and pointless scenes have been dropped. New scenes do a better job of establishing the characters -- not only of Dreyfuss, but also of Francois Truffaut, as the French scientist. The new editing moves the film along at a faster, more absorbing pace to the mind-stretching conclusion. "Close Encounters," which was already a wonderful film, now transcends itself; it's one of the great moviegoing experiences. If you've seen it before, I'm afraid that now you'll have to see it again.

Historical Traveler Reviews Hotel Bau Maribor
Pretty disappointed
My boyfriend and I went to New Orleans for the first leg of our vacation. Since we were travelling to other destinations and been to NO before, we decided not to spend a ton on a hotel room in NO b/c we are barely at the hotel. Bad move. We saw that there was high speed internet advertised - but we got there and 'it was still being installed'. Our room was a suite with a lot of space for all our luggage, but reeked of old garlic. We had maintenance come up twice b/c our room was 85 degrees. not exaggerating. were not offered/or able to get a new room after multiple complaints until 1am of the 2nd night of a 3 night stay. The staff was very friendly and nice but I can't recommend the hotel.
'OLD'world takes on a whole new meaning
I was highly disappointed in this hotel. I, like others, booked this hotel online and the room was NOTHING like the picture on the internet. I guess "old world" means "run-down". Also, we were told that the room would accomodate 4 adults and that was completely untrue. The bathroom was tiny and tiles were cracked. The shower didn't look clean. The carpets were dirty and there wasn't even a closet door. I had never been to New Orleans before so I assumed by paying a higher price for a hotel, I might get a nicer room, but that obviously wasn't the case. My sister was in New Orleans at the same time and she stayed at the Embassy Suites for less and it was absolutely fabulous. I would definitely recommend the Embassy Suites. The ONLY plus I can give the Chateau Dupre is its location... it's very close to everything, including 3 blocks from Bourbon Street. But take my advice... stay at the Embassy Suites or the Sheraton and just take a trolley.
Hated Chateau Dupre
My husband and I stayed at this hotel for 4 days; 4 days too long. The first room they gave us had severely cracked tiles in the bathroom; there were shards on the floor! The next room they gave us was over the lobby and very noisy. We had to use ear plugs. The lobby is nice but the room was filthy, dusty, moldy and in need of major repairs. I would NOT recommend this hotel to anyone.
Dynamite Quarter Hotel
I read about the Chateau Dupre on the internet and decided to stay in the French Quarter. I had heard an read many good things about this property so I said what the heck, I'll give it a try. My husband and I enjoyed the time we spent at the Chateau Dupre very much and will definitely come back. The restaraunt next door (Orleans Cafe') was delicious, and the continental breakfest was great. I truely recommend the Chateau Dupre if you are staying in the French Quarter----the staff was FANTASTIC.
Very dissapointed
My wife booked our room from the internet. She asked the lady in reservations if we would get a room like the one on the internet site.
The reservation lady said that we would. The room that we got was a room that was only half the size of the one pictured on the internet.
There had been a wall installed making the internet room into two rooms. The now two rooms shared the same ventilation and A/C system and the people who got the other room the second night were heavy smokers and we were able to enjoy their smoke also. My son and I are very allergic to cigarette smoke. The sink in the bathroom was a free standing pedestal sink and wasn't even attached to the wall. They charged $20 per day to park your car. When we arrived we had to double park in front of the hotel where our car dangerously remained for over 3 hours before it was parked. We have a nice car and that was something to worry about also. The traffic only had a small area left to pass. I held my breath when a garbage truck passed. Obviously the driver was very good because he missed our car only by a fraction of an inch.
The staff was very nice and friendly, which is about all the good that I can say about the hotel. I think that we were cheated because of the difference in the rooms and the condition of the room. We stayed at a Motel 6 one time out of desperation and the Chateau Dupre makes the Motel 6 look great. At least the Motel 6 does not use false advertising to lure you into their motel. The Chateau Dupre is the worst place that I have ever stayed.
Whoever wrote the other reviews were either paid off, got the only nice room or had a terrible time telling the truth. I would sleep in my car before staying at the Chateau Dupre. This gives a whole new meaning to the word "Chateau". I have a picture of the room that we stayed in.
Orbitz, Travelocity and Expedia obviously know nothing about the hotels that they recommend!
Great place!!
Thanks so much to the staff of the Chateau Dupre'. They were so very helpful, and the rooms were clean and elegant. This small French Quarter hotel was wonderful! We'll return as soon as possible!
Decent Rooms and Great Value!
Recently stayed at the Chateau Dupre in New Orleans and must say that I was very impressed. Decent and obviously recently renovated rooms, great price and good location. Rooms have new bathrooms, remarkably good water pressure for a Quarter hotel, and have exposed brick walls, high ceilings, and comfortable furniture (i.e. not just a "cookie cutter" hotel chain room).I've stayed at eight different hotels in the Quarter and while I usually stay at the Maison Dupuy, the rate was twice as much during my recent visit for some reason. I'd say that the Dupre offers excellent value so long as you can do without a balcony and don't mind a bit of a drab view. Also, the Dupre is a bit noisy until 3:00 a.m. or so if you face Decateur St. (due to the live band across the street) but who cares - you don't go to New Orleans to sleep...
Great stay
We reserved our room at the last moment and had no trouble whatsoever. Our room was clean & comfortable and the staff was friendly and efficient. Overall we had a great stay and we love Bert at the front desk. He was very helpful with directions and suggestions.
Great Location
This hotel is in a great location. It's in the French Quarter and close to alot of the major attractions. I found that a car was not needed because everything was in walking distance. Bourbon Street, Jackson Square, the river and Harrah's are all so close. The staff was also wonderfully freindly and helpful. They had all kinds of suggestions for restaurants and things to do. We really appreciate the hospitality and would recommend the Chateau Dupre' to others.
Wonderful experience
Wouldn't even look at another hotel for our next stay! David the bellman was very friendly and helpful. He made us feel like this was home. Sallie and the other two gentlemen at the front desk were friendly, helpful, supportive and had great ideas on what to do in the area. Also greatly enjoyed the restaurant. All the staff were friendly at breakfast and dinner. Dinner was the best meal we had here in New Orleans.We will recommend your hotel to family and friends--THANKS!!

This was a hit on Mother's Day. The combination of strawberry sorbet and caramel ice cream is an inspiration, and the crust is like the best buttery, nutty cookie you've ever tasted. Be careful when creating the layers to completely soften the ice cream an dsorbet first and not to press down too much or you'll create wavy layers.flag if inappropriate
I made this for Easter and it was a HUGE success. Everyone raved about it. It looked beautiful and tasted incredible. A good alternative to a chocolate dessert. Not difficult to make, just takes time given that you let each layer completely before adding the next. A definite winner.flag if inappropriate
Made this for a baby shower and received many compliments. Am anxious to try it using different flavor ice creams. I did not freeze cake for the full time between each layer, but it still turned out fine.flag if inappropriate
Used pecans instead of hazelnuts, and raspberry instead of strawberry... and it was delicious! Next time I will try parchment under the crust, as it was a bit difficult to remove from pan. Really beautiful results though...flag if inappropriate
I would skip dinner ANY DAY in exchange for this cake. My guests felt the same way after tasting it. Definitely a winner!flag if inappropriate
What can I say...totally orgasmic. I made this for my son's bday party. There was not one person out of 30 that didn't freak over it. Only bad thing is no leftovers.... I bought the "milky way " bottled topping...drizzled over entire cake snd garnished with the berries.flag if inappropriate
this was an awesome cake. it was my first experience making an ice cream cake, and i was surprised how easy it was- not to mention, delicious.flag if inappropriate
I made this cake for a birthday party last year and everyone loved it including myself. VERY GOOD!flag if inappropriate
You should have lots of space in your freezer beforehand. It's very easy although time consuming. Everyone LOOOOOVEd it though. It does get a bit expensive. I'd probably cut down the recipe and make it in a loaf pan for smaller groups. I definitely recommend it.flag if inappropriate
This was delicious. All my guests enjoyed it.flag if inappropriate

ink cartridges for 7850 photosmart
I am using a 95 tricolor and 99 photo print cartridge. Have used these before, but now printer says "Incorrect print cartridge(s). The following print cartridges are not intended for use in this printer: Cartridge on right tri-color. Refer to printer documentation."
The cartridge on the left is the 95 tricolor, yet message says tri color is on the right.
What is the problem with using these cartridges on the 7850 photosmart? They are sold together as a combo pack.
Re: ink cartridges for 7850 photosmart
Here is what I found on the 7850 product support page. There are a few troubleshoot steps to try:
see if one of these steps helps with your issue.

Re: ink cartridges for 7850 photosmart
The 99 cartridge is a tri-color cartridge (light cyan, light magenta and photo black). I would suggest removing the 99 cartridge and cleaning the cartridge contacts and then reinstalling it.

Re: ink cartridges for 7850 photosmart
I have the same problem with a HP Officejet 6310xi all-in-one?
It says the same :
"Incorrect print cartridge(s). The following print cartridges are not intended for use in this printer: Cartridge on right tri-color. Refer to printer documentation."
Could it be the cartridge, or could it be the head that is broken already, and should I get a new printer?
I have tried everything, followed the steps suggested for the 7850 photosmart, but it"s still not working.

Canada's Insurance and Risk Magazine
Mark Wilson, a former CEO of Asian life insurance giant AIA Group Ltd. who has also held executive roles at AXA Group in east Asia, will become CEO of London-based Aviva PLC on Jan. 1.
Wilson, who is from New Zealand originally, will join Aviva's board of directors Dec. 1, the firm stated in a press release Tuesday.
Chairman John McFarlane has been acting in an executive capacity since Andrew Moss left the company as CEO earlier this year.
"His appointment follows a comprehensive global search process which produced a shortlist of exceptional internal and external candidates," McFarlane stated in a press release of Wilson.
When Wilson takes over as CEO Jan. 1, McFarlane will become non-executive chairman.
Aviva operates in 21 countries and Canada is its second-largest general insurance market. In Canada, Aviva's products include home, auto, commercial, liability and surety.
Wilson, 46, was CEO of AIA until 2010. From 2001 until 2003 he was CEO of AXA Asia Pacific Holdings Ltd. and then CEO of AXA China Region Ltd. from 2003 until 2006, the year he joined AIA. He has 25 years' experience in insurance. After he left AIA he was involved with private equity firms including Blackstone, according to Aviva.

From the moment that Scott Schoonover raised his baton to invoke that incredible athletic overture it was re-confirmed to me that "Don Giovanni" is indeed the zenith of 18th Century opera.
Gateway Opera's production of Mozart's The Impresario is one of the most delightful evenings of opera that I've ever experienced.
There was something vaguely disconcerting about leaving Powell Hall Friday morning after hearing the SLSO and guest conductor Hannu Lintu perform Shostakovich's harrowing 1943 "Symphony No. 8" in C minor. Walking out into that bright spring morning was a bit like suddenly waking up from a nightmare. For just a moment, the light seemed a little dimmer.
In the introduction to his chapter on Shostakovich in the 1967 Penguin Books edition of "The Symphony," British musicologist Robert Layton described the Russian symphonist somewhat dismissively as a "documentary composer, far more bound up with this time than...Prokofiev, or any other of his Soviet contemporaries."
We may never know who first applied the nickname "Jupiter" to Mozart's last symphony—American musicologist Daniel Heartz posits that it was impresario Johann Peter Salomon—but it's not hard to see why the name stuck.
Kicking off its eighth season, Winter Opera staged its first Mozart opera, "Le Nozze di Figaro." The company's rendition of Mozart's tapestry of love, trickery and royal buffoonery bubbled onstage like champagne, bursting from a fountain of melodies.
Franz Schubert died at age 31 and Mozart never made it to 36. So their music will always have the freshness and enthusiasm of youth.
There's never a dull moment in the Opera Theatre of Saint Louis production of "The Magic Flute." That's because director Isaac Mizrahi keeps his performers (including a cast of seven dancers) in constant motion. The resulting stage pictures are impressive, but they often threaten to eclipse the music and text.
The Memorial Day weekend is almost here. For most of us, that means cookouts, family gatherings, and other varieties of making merry. For us opera lovers, though, it also means a different type of celebration: opening night at Opera Theatre of St. Louis.
Unless you've been holed up on the dark side of the moon lately, you've probably noticed that 2014 is the 250th anniversary of the founding of St. Louis. As a glance at the STL250 web site clearly shows, local celebrations of the event are popping up all over. This weekend the St. Louis Symphony is doing its part with a program that includes works composed between 1763 and 1792, including a Haydn symphony that's almost exactly the same age as our fair city.

APP OF THE DAY: Britannica Kids - Ancient Rome review (iPad)
Apart from the sanitation, the medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, the fresh-water system, and public health, what have the Romans ever done for us?
Well, for the answers to that question, along with a couple of quirky games as well, simply consult today's App of The Day. Yes, it's meant for children - but everyday's a school day.
Britannica Kids - Ancient Rome
- Format
- iPad (iPhone version available too)
- Price
- Free
- Where
- iTunes
Firstly, let's clear up any confusion over the price. When Pocket-lint was first sent details about the Encyclopaedia Britannica's new kids app - Britannica Kids - Ancient Rome - we were told that it would cost £4.99. But it's showing in the App Store now for nada.
So if you're interested we'd suggest going there now and nabbing it before a fee is attached.
On to the app itself, and it's definitley worth the £4.99 price-tag that isn't attached to it. It's incredibly informative, rich and entertaining - just as a modern educational app should be - and, even though it's aimed at kids aged 8-12, we bet even the mums and dads out there will learn a thing or two.
Obviously when you're 8-12 though, learning is boring. But don't worry - the developers know that and that's why they've thrown in a few games.
You can try jigsaw puzzles of the Roman Gods, unscramble images of Ancient Rome in The Magic Square game, paint the famous ancient Roman structures and then try to guess what they are, test your knowledge on Ancient Rome with the quiz or test memory with the Memory Match game.
Kids are connected too, so obviously the app has some social media features. You can tweet your answers or share your results with your pals on Facebook.
There's also plenty of informative multimedia info, including tons of images and a few videos as well.
Ian Grant, MD of Encyclopædia Britannica UK said: "Educational apps are proving increasingly popular for both parents and children when learning about new and exciting topics.
"We're finding that for many families, these apps are quickly becoming essential learning tools in helping their children complete their homework or research projects.
"We're excited to release Ancient Romans as part of Britannica's on-going commitment to providing expert and reliable content for all of our users."
The app is live now - grab is whilst it's free.

The flu arrived early in New York this year and is "widespread" across the state, according to the Allegany County Department of Health. Steuben County has also been hit hard with this season's influenza strain.
The flu arrived early in New York this year and is "widespread" across the state, according to the Allegany County Department of Health. Steuben County has also been hit hard with this season's influenza strain.
Across Steuben County, 274 influenza cases have been confirmed, according to Gail Wechsler, Steuben County public health coordinator.
St. James Mercy Hospital had 76 patients test positive in December, said Dr. Bradley Truax, the hospital's chief medical officer. Numbers for January were not available Wednesday.
St. James has also seen an increase in flu-related emergency room traffic, according to Truax. He added that the hospital has admitted three flu patients: one under six months old and two over age 65. All three fall under the high-risk category.
Wechsler said this season's flu strain peaked in December, about a month earlier than the usual mid-January or February mark. But she said it is not yet on its way out.
"It still appears to be going strong," Wechsler said.
Wechsler and Truax both said vaccination is the best prevention.
"We recommend vaccination for anyone over the age of six months, and especially those with underlying diseases such as diabetes," Truax said.
Wechsler said people looking to be vaccinated should check with their doctors' offices or a local pharmacy. And they shouldn't wait.
"Their supplies may be getting low," she said.
Even the Steuben County Health Department's immunization clinic has nearly run out. Wechler said there are "not a lot left" at the clinic.
The Allegany County Department of Health also recommended starting with a doctor or pharmacy first, but announced in a press release that vaccines are still available at its immunization clinic, located at the County Office Building in Belmont. The cost of vaccination is $33. Those interested should call (585) 268-9250 to make a reservation and bring all insurance cards to the appointment.
The Hornell Rite Aid reported Thursday that they still have vaccination supplies available, and will receive more if they run out.
The cost of vaccination is $29.99. But pharmacist Brian Marlatt said many insurances will cover the cost, including medicare and medicaid. He said many area teachers and Hornell city employees have been covered by their insurance as well.
"All people have to do is call, and we can tell them if their insurance will cover the vaccination," Marlatt said.
Vaccinations are available at Rite Aid whenever the pharmacy is open.
Steuben and Allegany County Departments of Health also recommended practicing good hygiene.
According to an Allegany County Department of Health press release, people should take care to cover coughs and sneezes, wash their hands often, and stay home when sick.
Symptoms for this flu strain are typical, according to Theresa Moore, public health educator for the Allegany County Department of Health.
Page 2 of 2 - They include fever, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, muscle or body aches, headaches and fatigue. Some cases may present with vomiting and diarrhea, but these symptoms are more common for children than adults.
Children under age two and adults over age 65 who have these symptoms should schedule a flu test, Truax recommended. Medication and treatments are most likely to help these age groups.
