WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. -- The 80-year-old embattled coach was sitting in a golf cart and upbeat moments after his redshirt freshman quarterback kept their bowl hopes alive.
Not far away, the opposing team's redshirt senior quarterback was overcome with emotion.
A good day for Bobby Bowden, EJ Manuel and Florida State meant a tearful final home game and bowl elimination for Riley Skinner and Wake Forest Saturday, with the Seminoles' 41-28 victory perhaps marking a change in the Atlantic Coast Conference's quarterback hierarchy.
Manuel, the highly touted recruit out of Virginia Beach, Va., threw for a touchdown and ran for another in his first career start. Jermaine Thomas helped out by rushing for 149 yards and a touchdown as the Seminoles (5-5, 3-4) moved closer to extending their nation-best 27-year bowl streak.
With his future uncertain, Bowden had to enjoy watching Manuel fill in capably for the injured Christian Ponder -- and hear Seminoles fans chant Bowden's name in the closing minutes.
"Manuel passed the test," Bowden said. "You still never know the answer until they get into a contest. I thought from the first play on, he showed a lot of poise."
Manuel completed 15 of 20 passes for 220 yards and an interception, outplaying Skinner as the Demon Deacons (4-7, 2-5) fell behind 31-7 in the second quarter. Wake's fifth straight loss ending a school-record streak of three straight bowl games.
Thomas became Florida State's first back since 2002 to go over 100 yards three straight games. It was part of a new-look offense that included more pitches, option play and quarterback runs to take advantage of Manuel's skills.
"All of the coaches supported me, the O-line, the running backs, the defense," said Manuel, pressed into duty when Ponder suffered a season-ending shoulder injury last week. "Christian -- that meant a lot to me -- him supporting me."
Manuel, Ty Jones and Thomas each had touchdown runs and Greg Reid a 68-yard punt return for a score to give Florida State a 31-14 halftime lead against Wake's beleaguered defense.
Now Florida State can qualify for a bowl if its freshman QB can lead another victory next week over Maryland.
"It's doggone impressive," Bowden said. "That's a freshman."

The Only Way Is Essex star Lucy Mecklenburgh appears to have 'confirmed' she is dating The Wanted star Max George, stating that the relationship is in its 'very early stages.'
The TOWIE babe has had her fair share of heartache after splitting from boyfriend of two years Mario Falcone after he admitted to continuously cheating on her whilst they were together.
Back in June the 21-year-old boutique owner enjoyed a holiday romance with another The Only Way Is Essex star Dan Osbourne; however, their romance was cut short when Dan found out he was going to become a father to his ex-girlfriend's baby.

Tomorrow's episode will see Lucy relationship fortunes change when she tells Sam Faiers that things between her and the 'Glad You Came' singer are going well.
Lucy confesses: "He's really nice but it's very, very, very early stages."
The pair were first spotted getting cosy at G-A-Y club, when Max invited the brunette beauty to watch him perform with his bandmates and were seen kissing shortly afterwards.
The two have got some romance history as Max was previously engaged to Coronation Street actress Michelle Keegan, who is currently dating television host and former TOWIE heartthrob Mark Wright.
Mark had previously dated Lucy in the early episodes of The Only Way Is Essex.
Catch all of the latest Brentwood gossip when TOWIE airs tomorrow night on ITV2 at 10 o'clock.

Praise undeserved
Praise undeserved
Regarding Oren M. Spiegler's letter "Fair-minded & decent" (Nov. 12 and TribLIVE.com) about U.S. Sen. Pat Toomey, R-Pa., voting for legislation that would ban workplace discrimination against gays: Praise for more laws and regulations?
Praise for allowing a transgender/homosexual male to use the women's room with your 8-year-old daughter?
We do not need more rules and regulations imposing restrictions or regulating our thoughts.
With all the problems facing this country, this is what the senator from Pennsylvania focuses on?
Not worthy of praise, nor re-election, in my opinion.

Following the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon on Sept. 11, 2001, the United States rounded up suspected terrorists wherever they were and then moved them to secret prisons around the globe, where they were detained and questioned. The program, largely carried out by the CIA, was known as extraordinary rendition.
Questions about the constitutionality of the program dogged it since its inception.
The UK's Rendition Project believes that there is more that the public doesn't know about the CIA's actions, and they - along with other groups - have been collecting data in an effort to bring the entire program to light. Below is an interactive look at flights the group believes carried CIA prisoners.

2013 Pi Day
Happy Happy Pi Day – Happy Happy Pi Day
Another successful HOK Structure's Pi day has come and nearly gone as I write this. As always it was an enjoyable event for all; we brought pie, we ate pie, we recited pi. This was the St. Louis Structural Engineering group's sixth annual event to celebrate the mathematical constant pi, an irrational and transcendental number represented by the Greek letter "π".
To celebrate, we hosted an event inviting colleagues in our office to bring in a pie and participate in a "Best In Show" pie contest (and of course to eat pie) in addition to hosting the "most recited digits of pi" contest. Winners were awarded with $30 gift cards to Pi Pizzeria!
Without further ado (because most of you want to skip the math lecture and find out who won the contests)…
Best In Show Pie: Michael Vande Velde's Homemade Cherry Pie (see below)
Most Recited Digits of Pi: Nag Nagulapati with 51 digits including the first 3
An additional thanks goes to Cheryl Steffe, Michael Vande Velde, Justin Thomas, Paul Wilhelms, Mike Hyland, Steven Crang, Kirsten Marklin, and Nag Nagulapati.
Pi Day of Years Past:
Happy Belated Pi Day – 2012
Fourth Annual Pi Day – 2011

First Annual Structure's Pi Day was in 2008 and went quietly into the night.

Sharapova candy Sugarpova. Maria Sharapova, known for her aggressive tennis style and sweet forehand and backhand swings, is entering a sugary side business.
On Saturday, the Russian-born tennis star with a home in Manhattan Beach, will hold the South Bay launch of her new premium candy line, Sugarpova.
Sharapova will promote her gummy candies from 4-6 p.m. at Tabula Rasa Essentials, an upscale gift shop in downtown Manhattan Beach.
"I've always had a sweet tooth, and I'm a foodie. This was just something that was unique, and I've always enjoyed doing unique things in my career," Sharapova said this week after a training session in preparation for a tournament in Germany later this month.
The line of gum and gummy candies debuted before the U.S. Open in 2012. It was only a soft launch and Sharapova tweaked some elements, designing the package and naming the candies before launching again. Sugarpova is carried in high-end boutiques, such as Tabula Rasa Essentials in Manhattan Beach, where she promoted the line on Saturday afternoon.
Sharapova, who splits time between Manhattan Beach and Bradenton, Fla., posed for pictures and signed autographs with every last person in a line that extended nearly down to the pier.
Overwhelmed by the support of the community, Sharapova was reminded of how far she had come since the initial idea of a candy company.
"Seeing the line going all the way down to the strand is incredible," Sharapova said. "When I sat in a meeting with Henri Bendel's and they were like, 'This is brilliant, we want to carry it.' I was like, 'Wow.' This is pretty incredible that someone like Henry Bendel believes in it."
For now, her focus with Sugarpova is selling it internationally. Stores in Paris and London have already picked it up and she is using social media to get feedback from her fans around the world.
Sharapova acknowledges that fashion or perfume might have been a more expected choice but she is proud that she took a new path and found success.
"It's about adapting and understanding and working from there," Sharapova said. "You're building a brand from scratch with your own money and your own decisions. So there's a lot on the line but I really like making those decisions."

Fish can be full of personality, which makes choosing the right pet fish so important. For a balanced, happy aquarium, get to know fish behavior and how to select a fish community.
When deciding which fish species will live together in your aquarium, it's important to select fish that:
These colorful fish are active and easy to care for but are aggressive toward other tank mates when defending their territory. Furnish your tank plentifully, providing decoration African cichlids can use to establish personal space.View fish
Like African cichlids, these guys are both personable and easy to look after. They're less aggressive toward tank mates, but all fish need to be similar in size to ensure compatibility. Most reach 6 to 8 inches in length, but some (such as the oscar) can grow to be more than a foot long.View fish
Goldfish come in a number of interesting varieties with beautiful, flowing fins. Both laid-back and hardy, they make ideal pets for beginners. Goldfish can live up to 20 years, depending on their environment.View fish
These eye-catching creatures are known for being abundantly colorful and active. Many species do best when kept in schools of five or more. An aquarium with a large school of colorful tropical fish can be very impressive.View fish
Semi-aggressive tropical fish share the vibrant colors and animated personalities of their non-aggressive counterparts. They tend to bully smaller tank mates, so it's best to make sure all semi-aggressive tropical fish in your tank are similar in size.View fish

'Heartbreaking' film about dying architect to premier in UK
An award-winning documentary film about how a 34-year-old architect with motor neurone disease faces his death is to premier in London next week
Hailed as 'one of the year's most moving films', I Am Breathing shows the last months of Neil Platt's life as he deteriorates from being a healthy young father to become paralysed from the neck down.
The architect, who died in February 2009 and who had worked at Watkins Gray International Architects in London, puts together a letter and memory box for his baby son Oscar as he recounts memories and tries to make sense of his life.
The film will be shown at the Cinema Museum in London as part of an international screening day on Friday 21 June 2013 for Global Motor Neurone Disease (MND) Awareness Day.
Screenings will take place across the world on the day in locations as diverse as New York, California, Poland, Iceland, Bahrain, India, Australia, Estonia and Kosovo.
All proceeds will be donated to the MND Association.
Directors' statement - Emma Davie and Morag McKinnon
Sometimes films just demand to be made, even if they are difficult.This was one of them.
The film was prompted by Neil himself. He wanted to communicate about his experience with motor neurone disease in the last months of his life. He already had an ever-increasing audience for a blog he was keeping and wanted to reach out further. This in itself was not reason to make the film. Who he became in these last months is what seemed to demand to be communicated.
Filming this stage of life is full of ethical dilemmas and questions. We let these questions and interrogations help guide us and shape the structure of the time. It became clearer how to form it when we used Neil's own words from his blog to tell the story, not just of his body - which was failing - but of his mind and imagination, which was limitless, witty and compassionate. We set ourselves the task of asking how the film could get under his skin while still respecting the 'unknowable' nature of his experience.
We hope that Neil - a good friend and collaborator in this process - would have approved of this film. He wanted his story to get out there.

Wenger hits rock bottomComment on this story
London – Where does Arsene Wenger go from here? If a number of Arsenal's angry supporters had their way, he would be as far away from the Emirates Stadium as possible.
Arsenal's deficiencies were laid bare on Saturday as they slumped to a shock FA Cup defeat against Blackburn.
But Wenger does not have to look too far for the reasons why his side are looking down the barrel of an eighth consecutive trophyless season. There are several.
In 2009 Emmanuel Adebayor left for Manchester City in a £25million deal. He was replaced 10 months later with Marouane Chamakh, who arrived on a free transfer from Bordeaux.
William Gallas left for Tottenham on a free transfer in August 2010; four days later Sebastien Squillaci arrived from Sevilla.
At the start of last season Cesc Fabregas, Samir Nasri and Gael Clichy departed; their direct replacements were Mikel Arteta, Gervinho and Andre Santos.
This season Robin van Persie left for Manchester United for £22m, and in came Olivier Giroud from Montpellier for £13m.
From those incomings, Arteta has been the only bona fide success.
Giroud has made a promising start to his career in England, while Santi Cazorla, Lukas Podolski, Thomas Vermaelen, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Per Mertesacker have gone on to establish themselves as important players for Wenger.
But in a nutshell, the Gunners manager has lost world-class players and, on the whole, brought in substandard replacements.
Holding midfielder Alex Song left for Barcelona in the summer. He is yet to be replaced adequately. Only now are the club acknowledging their failure to replace goalkeeper Jens Lehmann, who left in 2008 before returning on a short-term deal in 2011.
Manuel Almunia, Lukas Fabianski and current custodian Wojciech Szczesny have all been given a chance to make the No 1 jersey their own.
But all have failed to convince Wenger, who will now make a summer move for a top-class goalkeeper a priority. It seems the repercussions of failing to replace quality with quality are finally dawning on the Frenchman as he prepares to sign 'three or four' world-class players this summer.
Wenger would have arrived at the club's Hertfordshire training base on Monday morning with his eyes open wider than usual.
Preparing his crestfallen team for the visit by Bayern Munich on Tuesday will see to that, but so will the realisation that a number of his squad are now playing in the last chance saloon.
There is still time for those players to change Wenger's mind, and a positive result against the runaway Bundesliga leaders will certainly help.
But Wenger has now reached breaking point. There was no staunch defence of his side, as there has so often been during his 16-year reign, after Saturday's defeat by Blackburn.
There is a reason for that: he knows he can no longer excuse the inexcusable.
Summer casualties look an increasing formality. Not just because of what happened this weekend, but because eight years without silverware is simply not good enough for a club the size of Arsenal.
"Everyone said that the FA Cup was our best chance of a trophy. Obviously it wasn't," said a forthright Jack Wilshere after the deflating loss.
"We have to regroup now. We have a big game here Tuesday. We need everyone behind us. We need the fans behind us."
The fans certainly were not behind them on Saturday. Cries of 'Wenger out' bellowed from the stands after Colin Kazim-Richards notched the shock winner in the 72nd minute.
Those sentiments were replicated at the final whistle, as boos rang around the Emirates with another trophy chance blown.
Defeat by Jupp Heynckes' Bayern tomorrow is unlikely to provoke such derision. Even the most optimistic of Arsenal fans know they are unlikely to progress to the Champions League quarter-finals.
But Arsenal fans are tired of precisely that sort of resignation, and so is Wenger. – Daily Mail

I just got your cartoon software and I already own another personalized cartoon software program from another company. To be honest, I was worried about trying something new.

Realizing a web app w. Hibernate and Spring. Hints & advises?

i am new on this board.
Im a student in the fifth semester.
This semester we have to do a project for a software development company.
(We choosed the project ourselfs)
Our team consists of 5 persons; our task is to design and implement an application where employees can login and arrange their holiday for the whole year. The project director can accept or decline every single day of the requests.
The application should be realised as a web app using Hibernate and Spring.
I am new to web app development, but im well familar with
Currently im reading through Head Firsts
and Design
Excellent books!
At the moment my problem is the huge and opaque amount of frameworks to realize web apps.
Is it recommendable to use
for the view tier? Or should we use the MVC implementation of spring?
I read through several Hibernate tutorials in the last few days. Now i would like to get in the Spring FW. But its very powerful and im not sure what parts of spring i really NEED for our project and for the future.
Im really intersted in web apps and plan to realize my own community page as soon as i get familar with the technologies.
Im not sure what i have to learn and what i could leave out. Can anybody help me with his experience or advise me what i should learn and give me some useful URLs?
Im really motivated to realize good scalable web apps, and would really be thankful for every help.
P.S. Sorry for my english, im from germany and not really versed to write in english

Dear Arthur H.,
Though i am not so much exp. guy in java development, but considering your query i am answering and my friends says that i make good piece of advices.
As you said you are confused with so may frameworks and other stuffs, what i would like to suggest you that being simple is the key. it's just a training project then you can use simple MVC also as i don't see any compexity in the project, but if you want to invest in your future plans then i would suggest you to go to Spring way. Use spring MVC as i personally find it good enough to build some web applications. It's very simple just got hold on configuratin XML and pojo's rest is all about ModelAndView
. So if you want your future then use Spring or else go for Simple MVC don't put yourself to something else like
or JSF as if they are good but you don't have time for that.

If you plan on using Spring with Hibernate, try looking at this tutorial.
Hibernate is extremely easy to use with Spring because the Spring developers have done a great job abstracting it well enough so that you do not need to go through ever little detail to get it working.
I would recommend using Spring's MVC with JSP until you are comfortable with the many facets of the MVC idea. Personally, I use Spring's MVC with Velocity because I like to template a lot of my stuff. It's possible to use Spring's AOP and inject the AOP objects into another MVC architecture such as Tapestry. Just get familiar with Spring's MVC approach first, then you can branch out to the more component based frameworks such as Wicket and Tapestry.

Since you are using Spring anyway, I would generally recommend using Spring MVC as your web app framework unless you have requirements which might dictate another choice, which since this is a school project is unlikely.
That said, it is my opinion that folks should have a good grasp of HTTP, Servlets, and JSP prior to jumping into any of the web frameworks. I understand that's not always possible but it's still something to keep in mind. The various java web app frameworks are built on these three fundamentals so you will really be helping yourself out by acquiring a deep understanding of them. You said you're reading Head First Servlets and JSP and Head First Design Patterns which are two outstanding books so it sounds like you're already headed in the right direction.
Good luck with your project!

How women can prevent STDs
STDs (sexually transmitted diseases) are a very present reality in the lives of many people.
Studies show that women are much more likely to be infected by a sexually transmitted disease than men. According to Cearense Society of Gynecology and Obstetrics, the woman can get a sexually transmitted disease more easily by having a sexual organ wetter, the urethra is shorter than that of man, and because over the penis is an organ abroad , women have more difficulty in basic hygiene. It is much easier to identify these diseases in man, because the woman may be more hidden.
STDs are infections that are transmitted from sexual contact, but not the only option for such a disease spread. Various types of infections are involved in infection and disease are often visible from wounds, vaginal discharge, warts and blisters.
What are STDs
There are several diseases that spread by means of sexual contact without proper protection.
It is advisable that you contact a medical center if not in some protected intercourse.
This virus attacks the immune system of the human being, ie your body is defenseless to fight any kind of disease.
These viruses originate some elevations on the skin, or warts that propagate in the vagina, vulva, perineum and the cervix.
Viral Hepatitis
Typically, this type of infection does not present any symptom, however, as this type of disease usually does not usually give any sign, see your doctor regularly.
Venereal Lymphogranuloma
Usually appears with a sore or a wart on organ player, the injury is temporary, but must be properly identified and treated.
Earlier, normally, there is no indication that the person bearing this disease, however, later it develops and the symptoms of painful urination, pain during intercourse, burning and itching in the inner region.
Cancer Mole
The symptoms of this infection are identified by injuries múltipas and quite painful, but it is much more common in males.
Pelvic Inflammatory Disease
Normally there are traces of fever, but this symptom is vaginal odor and staining.
Small bubbles which later become wounds, genital regions. This type of injury is quite painful.
Chlamydia and Gonorrhoea
Its cause is bacteria. The presence of painful urination, blood outside of menstruation and pain during intercourse.
The symptoms are quite visible as lumps, red sores and bleed easily on.
Virus infection human T-lymphotropic
Most people who contract the disease has no symptoms throughout their lives. But some may develop manifestations of diseases such as cancer, muscular problems, joints, lungs, skin, ocular region, among others.
Initially this disease symptoms in an area with some redness, which then turns into the wound.
How STDs can be spread
- Sexual activity at an early age
- Many sexual partners
- Unprotected sex
- Needle and syringe
- Using someone else's underwear
What's the way a woman can prevent STDs?
Use a condom, do not have unprotected sex!
Do not be promiscuous relationships, but with a partner who truly knows well!
Go to a query on your annual gynecologist!
Whenever you have unprotected sexual intercourse or suspect any of these conditions, consult your doctor!
Do not share underwear with other people!
Make your hygiene, basic daily!
Do not change syringes and needles!
And you were aware that these STDs could be spread this way?

The mainstream media down under is getting pretty pumped about Australia's medal chances in Weymouth. Here are extracts from the latest piece from the leading news agency AAP.
Tom Slingsby (AUS 195532) Laser during Skandia Sail for Gold Regatta 2012 - London 2012 Olympic Games
London 2012 Olympic Sailing Competition is being held on the waters of Weymouth and Portland where Australia's Olympic sailors are expected to win a record medal haul and should confirm themselves as a golden generation of champions.
Key to their chances are three crews who've been virtually unbeatable over the past 12 months, including on the Games course at Weymouth.
Standing in their way are British crews with a deep understanding of local conditions, backed by boisterous home support.
It should be the Ashes with lifejackets and ropes.
Among those aiming to bash the Poms is Tom Slingsby, who won his fifth Laser world title in May and capped an extraordinarily dominant year by winning his fifth regatta at Weymouth.
He had a shock 22nd-placed finish at the 2008 Games but loves the strong winds in southern England.
'In China I just never felt comfortable. On land, I didn't feel comfortable in the surroundings, the culture, the food,' he told AAP.
Slingsby has a fierce rivalry with Team GBR's Paul Goodison and their clashes should be dramatic.
Nathan Outteridge and Iain Jensen, (AUS) Gold medal winners racing in the 49er class on the day 6 of the Skandia Sail for Gold Regatta, in Weymouth and Portland, the 2012 Olympic venue.
World 49er skiff champions Nathan Outteridge and Iain Jensen are unbeaten at Weymouth over four regattas.
Outteridge pinpointed Team GBR's Stevie Morrison and Ben Rhodes as their chief rivals.
'We've always been enemies with the Brits from day one so why stop now?' he said.
The 26-year-old, who broke his back in a 2005 car crash, teamed up with childhood friend Jensen after heartbreak in Beijing.
Outteridge capsized with former crewmate Ben Austin just 100 metres from the finish line and missed out on certain gold.
Belcher and Page celebrate after winning the 470 medal race - Skandia Sail for Gold 2012
World champion 470 sailors Malcolm Page and Mathew Belcher are Australia's third red-hot hope.
Page, 40, won gold at his second Olympics in Beijing and is regarded as the best 470 sailor ever.
'The two other nations I really see fighting for the medals is the Poms and the French,' he said.
'And both of them are going to their first Games.'
It's Belcher's Olympic debut, while Page retires after London.
Team coach Victor Kovalenko says only bad luck can prevent Slingsby, Outteridge and Jensen, and Page and Belcher winning.
'Those three teams are ready,' he said.
'We have to protect them from bad luck - but if everything is all right they are there.'
Australia's best Olympic sailing performance was in Sydney, with two gold medals, a silver and a bronze.
This year's target of three golds and two other medals looks beatable - with five other talented Australian crews.
Young-gun skipper Olivia Price, 19, underlined her skill by winning the World Cup regatta at Weymouth in June.
She sails with Nina Curtis and Lucinda Whitty in the match racing.
Windsurfer Jessica Crisp competes at her fourth Olympics in London and can medal in the RS:X class.
Olympic Gold medallists Belinda Stowell and Elise Rechichi only teamed up in the women's 470 in September but finished ninth at December's world championships.
Brendan Casey is a long-odds chance in the Finn.
And former world champion Krystal Weir has enjoyed good recent form in the Laser Radial.

Do we really care?
Do you visit this site?; read newspapers? listen to talk radio and generally keep up to date on the lock-out.
I am a lifelong Toronto resident and rabid Leafs fan for as long as I can remember.
and I am thoroughly enjoying this whole thing
I am being honest when I tell you, I could not care less whether they come back this year… or next year. In fact, if it were up to me. I would fold the league altogether; for good.
You see, I have come to realize that it doesn't matter in my life what happens in the NHL; not really anyway.
I see owners who get double-digit returns on their investments, in recessionary times no less, who then raise ticket prices double-digit percentages.
I get players saying the stupidest BS that I can possibly imagine all through this thing… my favorite is the CONSTANT rhetoric every time a players opens his mouth "We are willing to negotiate, the owners arent'. We just want to play." BUT "there will be no deal if there is a cap"
There you have it… willing to negotiate as long as we are not negotiating a cap. Their stupidity and cluelessness is astounding.
I'm enjoying basketball and NFL football just fine.
As a hockey fan, I have been treated like ABSOLUTE GARBAGE from these lieing, greedy owners and the cry-baby, WAYYYYY over-paid players.
I love laughing at everyone involved in this. Every day, they all lose a lot of money… let's just hope they lose MORE when the CBA is finally in place… and they lost half their fan base

Council wants cash to get more than 5,000 homes built in Plymouth
Posted: August 24, 2012|
COUNCIL bosses have asked the Government for permission to borrow millions of pounds to kick-start housing in the city.
Nearly 10,000 people are on the waiting list for social housing in Plymouth.
Across the city, development has either not started or stalled altogether on more than 5,000 new homes.
Now Plymouth City Council is aiming to use its muscle to kick-start building after decades in which councils have been shut out of housing development.
Cllr Mark Lowry, the city's finance supremo, said: "The coalition Government's austerity drive is sending us into a double-dip recession with no prospect of growth in the foreseeable future.
"Everybody is calling for a Plan B, with investment in infrastructure and housing."
A house-building drive would require a big turn-around on performance so far.
In the last financial year 604 new homes were built in Plymouth and 14 were converted. But 146 were demolished, giving a net gain of just 472 .
Mr Lowry said developers were holding back on their building programmes.
Developers have planning permission for more than 5,000 homes at 96 sites across the city but have not started work.
According to council documents seen by The Herald, planning permission on a further 33 sites has lapsed due to not starting on time, representing 489 homes.
"Developers need to step up to the mark and we are happy to work with them to do exactly that," he said.
"They need to develop their sites or else sell the land back to the council and we will find somebody else to do it."
Mr Lowry is having talks with social housing providers and the private sector with the aim of creating a partnership to "Get Plymouth Building".
"In six months I hope to have a plan in place agreed by all parties," he said.
"I want to set up a joint venture with the council, key registered social housing landlords and local builders to bring forward council-owned sites to provide the affordable housing that we need for growth and jobs.
"But it is imperative that Grant Shapps [the Housing Minister] gives us permission to borrow. We need £10million to £15million in the first instance.
"Local authorities can now borrow money at the lowest interest rate for two centuries.
"The interest on borrowing would be less than the cost of paying benefits to people."
He said that the new homes would be for sale or rent, and rental income will pay the costs of borrowing the capital, making the scheme self-financing.
"David Cameron knows that the only thing which can deliver a recovery in time for the 2015 General Election is housing."
A housing recovery would also boost the city's economy by employing local people.
And Mr Lowry said the new houses would have to be built to high environmental standards that would cut fuel bills.
"Cutting fuel bills would allow people to spend the money they save in the city rather than giving it to a utility company based in France."
"Everyone deserves a decent home," Mr Lowry said. "We're a wealthy country and we need to reprogramme our moral compass."
About the council's appeal for permission to borrow money, a spokesman for the Department for Communities and Local Government said: "We will consider this request."
96 Plymouth sites where work has yet to start on housingCouncil figures reveal 96 housing sites with valid planning permission that have yet to start – amounting to 5,179 homes. The list of plots includes:1,684 dwellings at Plymstock Quarry, The Ride 1,230 on land at Millbay Road272 at Devonport Storage Enclave 228 at Southway Drive and Clittaford Road 183 at Plymouth Fruit Sales, Sutton Road 130 at Unity Park, Efford Road 109 at the former Foot Anstey Offices, Derrys Cross 101 at East Quays boat yard, Sutton Road 85 on the former site of St Augustines Church, Alexandra Road 79 on North Prospect Road 74 on land at Prince Maurice Road 58 on land at Tavistock Road 56 on the former sports ground at Harwell Street The council has released details of a further 33 sites where planning permission has lapsed – totalling 489 dwellings. They include:159 potential dwellings at Colin Campbell Court 94 at Millbay Marina Village, Custom House Lane 56 at on the site of a car showroom, The Crescent 30 at the White Cottage and Holtwood, Plymbridge Road 24 at Houndiscombe Road All figures are as of April 1 this year, the latest available date.Plymouth throws down 'Grand Design' challengeTHE city has thrown down a 'Grand Designs' style challenge to people who find themselves locked out of the housing market by high prices and tough new borrowing conditions.'Self-builders' have been invited to get in touch with Plymouth City Council.In spite of ambitious new plans to tackle Plymouth's housing shortage, the city council admits that it cannot succeed on its own."There is no way in this city that we could meet genuine demand," Cllr Mark Lowry, Plymouth's Cabinet member for finance, said."We would have to build 30,000 houses to do that and it would take a decade."If we're lucky we'll build about 1,500 houses a year."Now he has instructed council officers to start looking at ideas for self-build projects."On the Continent a large part of the housing market is delivered through self-build."This council would like to hear from people interested in doing self-build. "We are actively reviewing potential sites for people to build their own houses."They would be able to get together as a self-build group and we would help them."It's perfect – everyone gets involved and they learn new skills and, dare I say it, a work ethic."We are really keen to support self-build. "It's a fantastic opportunity."He said council help could include preferential rates on land, as well as advice on financing, grants available, planning applications and finding builders. Mr Lowry said the council was also in favour of selling plots in new development areas to individuals.The Derriford and Seaton area action plan has earmarked the north of the city for a major development of more than 5,000 new homes along with an expanded shopping centre."In principle we support setting aside some of that land where people can buy and build their own home," Mr Lowry said.He urged people with an ambition to set up a house-building co-operative to contact Paul Barnard, the council's assistant director of development (planning service) by email at firstname.lastname@example.com expert Jackson Moulding said self-build groups could create the kind of houses and communities they wanted.Mr Moulding is a director of Ashley Vale Action Group, which took over an old industrial site in Bristol to create a new community.They have set up a "match-making" website for those trying to find like-minded self-builders in their area (http://communitybuild.org.uk).He said the 'Grand Designs' TV programme had given people the wrong idea about building their own home."They think it's out of their price range and full of problems."But 'Grand Designs' dramatises the problems because they want people to come back after the ad break."And he said that by joining forces self-builders could bring down the cost of land.Planners called on to drop social housing requirementsPLANNERS should drop a requirement for affordable housing to assist the development of homes for private rent, it has been proposed.It is among the measures outlined in a government commissioned review aimed at encouraging investment in the sector, and meeting the increasingly desperate need for new properties.Latest data for 2011 revealed there were 12,065 families on the waiting list in Plymouth alone – 11 per cent of all households. And according to estimates the number of households in the city are due to rise by more than 20,000 to 136,000 by 2033.Housing Minister Grant Shapps welcomed the report by Sir Adrian Montague, saying it offered "a blueprint" to boost the private rental market.Other recommendations included the Government providing a number of targeted incentives to encourage Build-to-Let, and also the earmarking of former public land for private rental development. Stalled sites should also be reviewed to see whether some of the new homes planned could be made available to rent rather than sell. It comes as the Government unveiled moves to give developers the opportunity to back-track on planning deals including the provision of affordable housing to kick-start schemes.So-called 106 agreements impose conditions on developers in return for the granting of planning permission, often requiring affordable homes to be provided, or community facilities or infrastructure to be built such as new roads.The Government argue change is needed to kick-start development made "economically unfeasible" by previous commitments negotiated at the height of the housing boom.But critics have warned in most cases "negotiating away" benefits is not the answer to the problem of stalled development.PLYMOUTH HOUSING FIGURES£23,879 – The median Plymouth income in 2011.£145,000 – The median Plymouth house price in 2011.4.3% rise in private rentals in the past year.3% rise in average private sector incomes in the past year.0% rise in public sector incomes in the past year.

DARPA Robotics Challenge Trials will be held in Homestead, Florida on Dec 20 & 21. It's a bit of a ride from Orlando but It's a definite possibility. Anyone from here planning to go?
I'm thinking of either building one or buying a kit. Seems easy enough to build from scratch but why re-invent the wheel and possibly make the same mistakes as early builders.
Since funds are very limited I'd like to hear from experience how good the cheaper models are, what designs to avoid or at least what to look out for, and reputable sources. I can handle assembly and troubleshooting so a bit of work is not a problem. I just need something for small volume small parts as I'm not doing too well with casting.
Well it looks to be about impossible thinking up a name for a robotics compay or website address etc. without someone already using it. Unless you come up with a completely made up gobblygook word you're out of luck. Every variation with robot or automation etc. is already used.
In case you haven't seen this yet:
I recently acquired an old "power wheels" T-Rex kids ride on toy. So my choices now are:
1) use the drivetrain for a robot - I started a robot page but no progress to report yet
2) use the whole body and convert to a robot - could be a test-bed for self-driving vehicle
What's with all the Tower Pro servo knockoffs? I was just about to buy some Tower Pro MG996R servos and I noticed they're mostly Towardpro, even from hobby shops listing them as "Tower Pro". Anyone know if these are cheap knockoffs or are they manufactured by the same company under different labelling?
I've also seen some color4way that look like the Tower Pro purple label on ebay. Since I'm seeing them at hobby websites listed as Tower Pro I'm afraid of what I'll get when I order.
What software does everyone use for making design drawings? That's weak area for me so I'm looking for a free, easy to use drawing package so I can design parts and approximate the final look of my robots. I had Google SketchUp but had to do a clean install of Windows and before I get it again I wanted to see what others use.
Oh, and I guess it would help if I could output files compatible with 3D printers & CNC.
Microsoft jumps on the bandwagon.
How long will they keep this alive or do you think it will actually take off and innovate?
A new wrinkle popped up while trying to test an interface idea between an rc receiver and power chair joystick control. Pin 8 is a switch output that's not connected unless there is a switch. Since the power chair has a feature that locks/unlocks the wheels to the motors and throws an error (flashing power lights) when wheels are disengaged I'm guessing that's the switch. The switch (if there) should be connected between pin 1 (+v) and pin 8 (switch output). So with the switch in the error state (open or closed, don't know) pin 8 would be ???

Private security bill 'will harm SA'Comment on this story
Johannesburg - Leading black businessman and chairman of the Free Market Foundation Herman Mashaba yesterday lambasted the government for rushing through controversial bills that would harm the economy irreparably.
He specifically chose the Private Security Industry Regulation Amendment Bill, which aims to force foreign-owned private security firms to sell 51 percent of their companies to South Africans.
The proposed requirement is similar to that of Zimbabwe's indigenisation laws, which demand that 51 percent of foreign-owned firms be held by black locals.
The bill is with President Jacob Zuma for his signature.
It was one of the bills that went through a marathon session of the National Assembly late in February before a lengthy pre-election recess from mid-March.
Foreign-owned private security firms include ADT, Chubb, Securitas and Panasonic.
Mashaba's company, Lephatsi Investments, owns 30 percent of Swedish private security firm Securitas. He said South Africa's ability to attract foreigners to fund and invest in the economy was an important mechanism to fuel growth.
He said the amendment was a benchmark framework that, if implemented, could open the door for the government to apply the same principles of nationalisation to other industries.
"As a black investor and businessman, I believe it is unfair to expect our partners to relinquish 51 percent or more of their business," he said.
Police Minister Nathi Mthethwa told Parliament in February that the amendment came about as a result of tremendous growth in the private sector security industry since the promulgation of the principal act in 2001.
He said there were more than 445 000 registered security guards compared with a little more than 270 000 armed statutory forces, namely the SAPS and the SANDF.
Mthethwa said: "The growth of the private security industry is not unique to South Africa. Internationally, the private security industry has grown significantly over the last two decades. However, the growth of the South African private security industry has out-stripped other countries."
He said the bill was necessary because the line between private security companies and private military companies was becoming increasingly blurred.
Mthethwa said private security companies were increasingly used in the field of intelligence.
"Let me lay to rest the arguments by opponents of this bill, that it will lead to job losses in the industry. This argument has no basis. The provision of security service depends on supply and demand like any commodity in the market place. Change of ownership will not change demand," he said.

Utahn charged with auto homicide in death of Caffe Ibis owner
An alleged drunk driver was charged Monday with automobile homicide in connection with a crash that killed the co-owner of a Logan coffee company.
Alvin Blaine Henson, 40, was charged in Cache County's 1st District Court with second-degree felony automobile homicide, along with Class B misdemeanors related to being an alcohol restricted driver and not having a DUI interlock system in the car he was driving at the time of the Thursday accident.
Randy Wirth, 67, died Saturday from injuries suffered in the crash. Wirth co-owned Caffe Ibis Coffee Roasting Co. in downtown Logan with wife, Sally Sears.
Police believe that just after 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Henson was driving a pickup truck east on 200 South in Millville. Witnesses described his driving as erratic, according Cache County sheriff's authorities.
Henson's truck crossed into the westbound lanes and hit a Cadillac DeVille near 140 West. Somehow, Wirth who was driving a motorcycle was also struck during the accident, according to authorities.
Wirth was taken in an ambulance to Logan Regional Hospital. A helicopter then flew him to McKay Dee Hospital in Ogden, where he died Saturday afternoon.
Deputies who responded to the crash immediately recognized evidence of alcohol use with both Henson and his 29-year-old passenger, according to police. The two had suffered minor injuries and were taken to Logan Regional Hospital.
Henson, of Millville, is being held without bail at the Cache County jail, and made his initial appearance in court Monday afternoon.
Henson had previously pleaded guilty in January 2013 to a DUI, and was sentenced to 12 months probation and two days in jail.

Sometimes a picture just isn't worth a thousand words. Or to be more precise, the 947 words the Washington Post's Philip Kennicott published the day after the election about a photograph of Barack and Michelle Obama embracing earlier this year. It's a lovely photo, and we don't doubt that it captures an affectionate moment between the president and his wife. Kennicott, however, wants to inform us of a deeper significance in the photo, hidden to the unenlightened masses who gaze upon it:
But the photograph has a remarkable and specific latent message, too. Unlike many images of political marriage in which the man lays claim to his wife through a symbolically possessive gesture—touching her shoulder, raising her hand up or kissing—the embrace between these two people seems mutual. The first lady is, among many other things, a big woman, famed for her well-toned arms, and in this image of hugging, she's giving as good as she gets. . . .
It's impossible to know the reality behind this image, whether the president and the first lady are indeed in love in the way that photograph suggests. Perhaps this is just another very successful variation on the carefully staged depiction of love that is mandatory for political success. But regardless of the reality, that variation is significant. The photograph strongly suggests an ideal of mutuality in marriage, unencumbered by older ideas of possession and obedience that still hold sway in some deeply traditionalist religions.
The Scrapbook is not entirely sure what Kennicott is driving at, but he seems to be laboring under the delusion those with traditional views on marriage are morally opposed to hugging. It is, further, astonishing, even at this late date, to see the Judeo-Christian marriage ethic reduced to possession and obedience; this characterization of it seems more like willful hostility rather than simple misunderstanding.
If the Obamas' marriage and fidelity to one another seems admirable, that might be because they seem to have a pretty traditional marriage. The Scrapbook doesn't want to be mistaken for a Philistine—unlike Kennicott, we are not a two-time Pulitzer finalist—but it seems to us that this is just a nice photo of the president and first lady embracing. Looking for much more meaning than that is bound to be political axe-grinding. But when it comes to grinding axes, Kennicott is a veritable Paul Bunyan:
That [the photo] went viral on the same night that voters in four states broke with decades of anti-gay-marriage voting patterns and endorsed equality for same-sex couples may not be entirely accidental. Opponents of same-sex marriage often speak of the necessity of "defining" marriage in traditional terms, and anxiety about gay marriage is frequently expressed as a broader fear of redefining long-standing gender norms and categories. Conservative authors have produced books that decry the feminization of the American male, describing men as an endangered species.
The Obama photograph shows another reality, what might be called the limitless possibilities of true mutuality, of marriage beyond strict definitions.
Of course, there's much more revealing political context regarding marriage this Election Day than the success of gay marriage referendums. Not that Kennicott found room to acknowledge this, but those who actually enjoy the security and importance of marriage tend to be at odds politically with the president. Married voters favored Romney by 14 percentage points—had only married people voted, the president would have lost in a landslide. However, unmarried voters, who now make up an astounding 40 percent of the electorate, went for Obama by 24 points.
The Scrapbook can sum up its bottom line in 945 words fewer than Kennicott: We're pro-hug.

I just thought that I would share two of my current Thanksgiving bulletin boards.
The first one is a Math bulletin board.
I do not have a pattern for this, I just freehanded them. But, I can tell you the dimensions of the paper. You will need a 5x6 brown, 1x3 red, and 2x2 yellow for the turkey body. I just cut out a bowling pin type shape for the body.
Next, I labeled each brown part with a number (2-22). The students colored a paper plate with a brown crayon and made their turkey body.
After the students make their bodies, pass out 6 feathers (approximately 3x6) to each student. I guided them through ways to make their number. We did each feather one at a time with different directions for each. Each student had one with tally marks, 2 with addition number sentences, one with a subtraction number sentence, one with a picture to show their number, and one with money.
Another bulletin board in my room right now is a turkey body that I had made about 5 years ago using the overhead projector. I put this up every year with feathers that the students write on to show what they are thankful for.
I have done others in the past where students have had to write about how they would cook a turkey. You can find this idea at What the Teacher Wants.
What are some of your favorite Thanksgiving displays?

That's lovely, understated use of Copperplate, BBC DVD cover dudes. Way to restrain yourselves. It's so overused.
Saturday at the Lurv household was pretty lame and boring. The poor kidlet and I were all awoooone. You know. Alone. Hubbster being the good Samaritan he is, was helping his brother move into a new place. Am I a stone-cold beeyotch for not leaping at the chance to go clean the place for them when hubby called that afternoon and asked if I would? Yeah, didn't think so. I know, I said I'd been bored, but really now, how much more lame could it get than hauling me and kidlet thirty minutes via car on a stormy, nasty day to go CLEAN MY BRO-IN-LAW'S HOUSE. After I'd been cleaning ours. What are they, afraid of the house cooties? I touch them every single day. Pansies.
I'm not the fun one in our house. Please, don't choke on your coffee. It's true. Hubbster is much more fun than I and I feel bad for kidlet when it's just her and I. I have to do lame things like clean MY house and the messes that we all make, blah dee blah blah. I do things with her of course, but daddy-kins really lights up both our lives. So by the end of the day, we were both tired and tired of each other. Poor kidlet! Yes, poor thing, despite her making me want to tear my hair out. Loves her, I DO.
After putting kidlet to bed, I found myself flipping through even more boring crap on TV. WHY DO I PAY FOR THIS CRAP? I pay to flip through monotonous, useless TV! I've been made a bitch by our satellite company! I blame the need to watch True Blood on Sunday nights because I'm a good girl who does not torrent. Anyway, the final straw was this weird movie. The culprit was a STARZ channel featuring something called The Country Bears. Here, go look at the trailer and SUFFER AS I DID for the few seconds I saw it. Something about "real" bears that talk and play music. With people. In a band. Yes, these people talk back to them. WTF, world, why do you hate us so?
(Before we go any further, yes, I did know that this is based on a beloved book, I haven't been quite that head-in-the-sand. I might read it one day. After I've watched this five hundred or so more times. It's The Armitage, you understand. Roowwrrr.)
What does this all have to do with the BBC miniseries, North and South? Well, my fine, fine Lurvlets, it's to illustrate in glorious technicolor that after having a lame boring day to rival all previous editions of the Lame and Boring Day, you too can has a reward! I literally said fuck this shit after seeing that mushroom-enhanced bear crap on STARZ and said, This chick is going to watch North and South! Finally! I will do so with coffee and something tasty! Yes, I'm saying I've had this in my house, the security tape unopened, for over a month. Yes, I've received my punishment – remember The Country Bears and cue those shudders. By this time it was almost 11:00 at night, hence the coffee. I thought I'd maybe watch about half and wretchedly pine for the rest after several weeks had gone by (not having time to watch the rest for a good while, likely).
But…something happened. Before I knew it, the first two episodes were over. I couldn't get the second disc in the DVD player fast enough. The heart rate was accelerating to the speed of plaid. Crack. BBC crack! The BBC is literally shipping crack to the States in the form of awesome acting, a compelling romance and beautiful cinematography. BBC – you is mai dealer of choice! We will totes keep the borders open for you.
Folks. A lot of you have talked about this miniseries/movie before. I remember it being all the fluttery, breathy-sighing rage when I first came on the Blogosphere scene back in 2008. I mean, people, it's all you talked about. North and South this, Richard Armitage that, breathy, swoony madness! I distinctly remember not giving a crap. I mean, you are all lovely people, but I could've cared less about The Armitage or some silly ass BBC production. I never even took the time to see what the premise was back then! I had books to read. A kidlet to put on the toiler over and over again to no potty-training avail. I think I was thinking a lot about exercising. Thinking about exercising should totally count. I was probably getting addicted to Starbucks around then. I didn't have time for your silly obsession with North and South! Paaahh!
Recently, I looked up the premise for North and South. Oooh, So yall were NOT talking about the Civil War miniseries with Patrick Swayze (God rest his poor soul)? Well why didn't yall say the hell so? The BBC series by the same name takes place in England? With a theme of clashing social classes? And lovely Victorian costuming? And whoa – a love story? *pre-swoon*
I assure you, I paaahh! no more. I now know what the heck you all were swooning over. I see now that Richard Armitage smolders. I see that he is sexiness personified with a triple side dish helping of I Want You Now. Even when he's beating the shit out of a weaker man in the movie, something alights inside of me like a cat sighting a tasty bird. Your own inner feline-ness says ignore his gruffness, latch onto that fire in his eyes, albeit a somewhat smarmy one at times, and chant with all the powers of the combined force of romance enthusiasts everywhere – mill owner John Thornton will be redeemed! You gladly sign on the devil's dotted line that you will stay up as late as it takes to absorb all that is North and South into your very psyche. Your very soul.
And you, quite frankly, fall in love. Just sit back and take that in for a second. Do you feel like you've just gotten done having a glorious massage at a luxe day spa? Sho nuff, sista, and it only cost you $17.99 at Amazon with free 2-day Prime shipping. Boneless. This movie turned you into a boneless KMont cutlet of swoony goo.
It is now close to or after 3:00 in the morning. I am done with the most romantic movie of MY LIFE. My jaw is located somewhere on the carpet. The dog is probably chewing on it, cuz, well, she's a chewer. I only had two times when I was taken out of the movie and that was 1. when Margaret, our wonderful heroine, decided to dress herself in fancy lettuce for a dinner party at the Thornton house (It was awful and pale green and…lettucy. I know they weren't rich, but geeze, Dad. Get another teaching job, your daughter's a PETA Lettuce Lady!), and 2. when she attends the Great Exhibition in London. I remember thinking she needed to watch out for Mark and Passion behind that screen, maybe run in the opposite direction lest she and Thornton tear each other's clothes off as well. Wait, why didn't that happen? Oh GOD, World! You prove yourself a cruel, cold wretch of an ass yet again!
Dudes, I think we can all breath easier now knowing this is what Bonnie Tyler was singing about in Total Eclipse of the Heart. Wait, what? You're all up in arms about the song being written and sung before the movie? Pffffffffftttttttt. Helllooo, obviously Bonnie Taylor was a time traveler. AND psychic. Chaaaaaww. Warning, that music video might scar you for life. Just put North and South back in, 'kay? I won't be responsible for your psychiatrist bill. For fugs sakes, people, I was talking about the lyrics.
Anyway, I'm a convert. If there was ever some kind of North and South event, with loads of Armitage's running around (oh be still, you silly damn heart), ladies in Victorian get up, cups of tea being served, I'd be there. If it was close by. And I could afford to go. I'd go as Bessy Higgins. She was so wonderful! And I could probably pull off her poor, drab wardrobe. Otherwise it would be as Margaret in her lettuce dress. With my bosoms all a-heaving.
If you haven't watched this yet, you're in luck in that you too get a grace period of two years in which to wake the hell up. After that, look me up so we can swoon over this thing together and giggle about Armitage like two sexually budding school girls.
If that doesn't convince you, watch this pretty good fan trailer.
Dude, do you even have any swoon left in you?
North and South, I am unequivocally yours. Take me however you want. Yes, I realize I just possibly went TMI with this whole thing. But who hasn't.
This has been the story of the truer than true adventures of how I became a North and South fan. Run, don't walk, to get your viewing on. Grab your tissues, grab your comfy loungy lounge pants and don them and your slanket or other such equivalent adult blankie and prepare to utterly die of romantic bliss. Altogether now: *siiiiiiiiiiiiggggggggghhhhhhhh*
ETA: Since posting this I've watched it almost all the way through another time – and the hubby watched it with me! In fact, he planned to stay up and watch all of it while I trudged to bed. And he likes it, he really really likes it! If I didn't know it already, I'd say he was a keeper.

Before he coordinated two of the most feared defenses in college football history, before he won a Super Bowl ring and became an NFL head coach, before he started to supply Michigan State with premium football players like no patriarch in the program's history, Henry (Hank) Bullough played the game.
He was a sprinting, snarling, 6-foot-2, 200-pound lineman who played every second of the Spartans' first Rose Bowl game, a 28-20 win over UCLA on Jan. 1, 1954.

Our Korean speakers, fully qualified to teach their native tongue, can train you and, if need be, the rest of your group at a time that is suitable to you, at your home or place of work. Sessions can take place on the day of your choosing - even weekends - and at the time you want: whether it be morning, afternoon or evening. If circumstances arise where your home or office is not convenient, the classes can be held at your trainer's office. Resources for the lesson are provided for you.
These Korean lessons fit a broader spectrum, and can be useful for those who need different things from the language. Most beginner students will have a handle of survival Korean by the end of their lesson, which will provide them with enough Korean to communicate at least at a basic level during short trips to the country, but those who require more would benefit greatly from these sessions. Typical students have been those eager to travel all over the world, those buying overseas property, those with foreign spouses, aficionados of Korean culture and those who just wish to pass a particular Korean exam.
Korean lessons of this type are aimed towards those that need to learn Korean to aid them with their employment. For those just starting out, it is integral to learn basic greetings and business etiquette; and reading and writing can be adopted once the simple precepts are out of the way. Success has come from students who are involved in import/export, international negotiations and acquisitions, those seeking jobs in multinational companies, and those working with foreign colleagues, academia and bureaucracy. Just our most basic beginners lesson will have the student finishing the lesson with basic telephone/e-mail skills in Korean, as well as survival Korean should a short stay in the country be needed.
Those wishing to learn Korean in groups of 2 or more together (Two-to-One Korean Lessons or Small Group In-Company Korean Lessons) can sign up for our group classes. All students must be at nearly the same level of Korean proficiency, must have the same needs from the language, and must be able to study at the same time and place as the others. Bookings must be made for all students simultaneously. Listen & Learn do not propose group sizes or more than 6-8 people, but In-Company Taster Korean Lessons can occur with up to 12 people.
Unlike most other Asian languages, Korean employs spaces to separate words
Korean uses the Hangul writing system, consisting of 10 vowels and 14 consonants
Approximately 80 million people around the globe are Korean speakers
Korean Testimonials
"Our native speaker qualified Korean language teachers can train you and your colleagues at your office or home at a time to suit you. Classes can be any day of the week (even weekends) in the morning."
NewarkNewark is the largest city in the State of New Jersey, and with a population of 275,000 it is also the 64th most populous city in the United States. While Newark has a 'personality' all its own, it has also benefitted greatly from its close proximity to New York City (it is only a few short miles away). Newark Airport has become a hub for international air travel, which has pumped billions of dollars into the local economy. Newark has dedicated a considerable amount of its resources to becoming more eco-friendly in the 21st Century. Several of the biggest redevelopment projects in the city are being built using environmentally sound practices and will allow for solar power and the use sustainable materials. The Hispanic and Latino populations in Newark make up almost 30% of the demographic, with double digit percentages for Asian Americans from Korea, Viet Nam and China as well. Given the short distance from Manhattan and the international make up of the citizens, Newark is one of the most useful places on the eastern seaboard to learn a new language.

We are continuing our conversations with our dear teacher and friend Paul Rebillot on the topic of the Healing Theater – the combination of acting and drama, mythology, gestalt therapy, and rituals. For more information about Paul and his work, please visit his website – Direct Impact Creativity.
In this segment, Paul describes the cornerstone of his work – the Hero's Journey.
[techtags: Myth, Mythology, Hero's Journey, Paul Rebillot]
This Series with Paul Rebillot is really fascinating. I think the black cat with a butterfly means that the cat felt the presence of someone, and wanted to be near the Guru.
Something clicked for me, when I realized I have had an adventure in the past 7 or 10 years.. In fact, life is much more adventurous, and its Heraic Journeys more numerous, in fact, each moment is a creation and destruction of immediate universes… Each nanofiber in a cells' structure hold IMHO universei, and so, we scale our perception on our quest gradually to perceive these worlds.
Yes , Paul is an amazing man, who fascinates us all with his expertise, great stories and general warmth. he is a fabulous teacher and mentor, and if you have an opportunity to convince him to work with you/train with him, jump on it!! It will have ripples across your life as all three of us at RCG can attest to overwhelmingly
