I'd like to start by mentioning that I have used Mikes limo service in the past and been very pleased with the service. This being said, my most recent experience was nothing like the previous. The driver whose name starts with an L and rhymes with "Airee" was the source of most of my frustration. The entire night he was very unpleasant and grumpy. Every time we asked to be transported to a new location he acted as t... view moreLike this review?Yes|Flag Abuse

My experience with mike's limos from start to finish was TERRIBLE. First off, I had a hard time ever getting Ted to call me back. I finally called Mike and was able to secure the bus. I received a conformation shortly after and sent in the check for the deposit the next day (they told me I could only use a check to pay the deposit). The night before the event I called to confirm the pick up times and they had no reco... view moreLike this review?Yes|Flag Abuse
I went down to Jacksonville for my sons soccer tournament on my Birthday weekend. To my suprise my husband rented one of Mikes limo buses called the land yot.

I used Mike's limousine service for an event I did for NFL players Will Gay and Kolby Smith and we had a great experience! Mike and his staff are prompt, professional, reliable and FUN! They really rolled out the red carpet for our group and they had a blast. The limo bus is basically a party on wheels, equipped with everything we needed, loved it!

I had so much fun on my 21st birthday last night, I'm just now waking up from it all. But it was well worth it! I give Mike's Limos five stars, awesome service and the limo bus was incredible.

Artur Maklyarevsky
From a startup/founder perspective -
Mega cities like NYC are bar-none for many incredible opportunities, but it comes with a huge price, both financially and mentally.
When I came up with the idea of my first startup back in 2005 – NYC and the US in general were economically 'solid' – I had a decent 6-figure job in Silicon Alley, yet the option to take 1 year off and bootstrap a team of 3 devs was not viable in NYC.
So I decided to move to Buenos Aires where at the time the dollar was 3:1, there was a healthy developer community, lower stress levels, higher quality of life (I had a 2000 sq ft apt/office, a tennis coach, a steak dinner cost me $15, and women outnumbered men 4:1). The other wonderful benefit was the time-zone ( just +1hr ahead of NYC), which enabled me to maintain key connections with our customers, clients, markets, and advisors.
When the crisis broke out in 2006, I was able to ride it out easily and grow 2 more startups – the last just launched: JuicyCanvas.com
This is not for everyone; its depends on what your startup needs at that time for your particular stage. However my move to BA was life changing – and I highly recommend it for every new entrepreneur since it really brings out the BEST ideas, while allowing you to incubate your idea into an MVP without requiring outside capital and losing equity.
And ironically the idea for JuicyCanvas came out of a tangent seed idea for a brick-n-mortar concept I would not have had were I in the US. ( http://juicycanvas.com/our-story/ )
Because being a startup founder is like being Lewis and Clark – you need to leave what you know and go into the 'unknown'. By incubating your idea abroad, you are forcing yourself to adapt to new things and achieve perspective and that prepares you for LEAN-thinking, while meeting others (yes, there are other expats) who are doing the same.
Now that our startup has successfully launched – we are ready to return back to cities that have the ecosystem and resources we need to scale it.
NYC – I'm coming home – and hope my metrocard will still work!

Kia Nurse (Ontario–2014), who's in Edmonton training with the Canadian senior women's basketball team, is the subject of this Edmonton Journal article. First, there's some further info on all the athletes in the Nurse family, in addition to Kia and Darnell (Edmonton Oilers draftee):
Kia . . . and Darnell come from a deep gene pool. Their uncle is former NFL quarterback Donovan McNabb and their father, Richard, is a former Hamilton Tiger-Cat. Their mother, Kathy, played basketball at McMaster University. The list goes on. Their sister, Tamika, played basketball at the University of Oregon and their aunt, Raquel (Richard's sister and McNabb's wife), played basketball at Syracuse University.
Multiple people have mentioned Nurse as a "stock riser" during this summer. As indicated in the quote below, UConn is now showing last-minute interest. It's also interesting that she wants to continue playing on the Canadian national team, including in the Olympics, so she's looking for a college that's willing to accommodate that.
Her college decision only got muddled this summer as she climbed the basketball ladder and caught the attention of heavyweight NCAA programs like the University of Connecticut.
"(NCAA interest) has jumped," Kia said. "I've gotten some really big-name schools (expressing interest) now, but at the same time, it's really important to keep it in check and make sure that Lisa [Thomaidis, the national women's team coach] talks with the coaches to make sure they're OK with me playing for the national team and that I can get out for summers, do all the (national) team stuff, and not be pressured to stay.
"I have goals to be involved with this team as an Olympian."
One final note, this article calls her a "five-foot-eight point guard." Most sources I've seen list her as 6-0, although I've also seen 5-10. Not sure what to make of that, unless it's simply a mistake.
UPDATE: Another school coming in with late interest in Nurse is Tennessee. Also, while Kia Nurse's sister Tamika started out at Oregon, she finished her college career at Bowling Green, playing for head coach Curt Miller. Miller is now the head coach at Indiana, so that could be a factor in Kia Nurse's interest in the Hoosiers.

Meet Melissa Joan Hart's Son Tucker!
Melissa Joan Hart is the picture of domestic bliss.
Just weeks after giving birth to her third child with husband Mark Wilkerson, the Melissa & Joey star, 36, glowed as she gathered her growing brood together for a family photo.
PHOTOS: Celebs' personal baby pictures
The mother-of-three, along with Wilkerson and their sons Mason, 6, Brady, 4, and Tucker, 1 month, posed at their Westport, Conn., home on Oct. 3 for the Once Upon a Birth campaign, which raises awareness about maternal mortality. (For more information, please go to the Merck for Mothers Facebook page.)
It was the family's first official portrait since welcoming their newest bundle of joy, the 8-pound, 5-ounce Tucker, on Tuesday, Sept. 18, at 10 p.m.
PHOTOS: What Mason and other celeb kids eat
The actress and her musician husband, 35, whom she wed in Italy in July 2003, certainly have their hands full with the three boys, but Hart -- herself the oldest of eight siblings -- couldn't be happier about all the men in her life.
"If I was to pinpoint one amazing moment in my life, it would be the moment when my boys met. Mason walked in, jumped on daddy's lap, and looked at Brady in my arms on the hospital bed," she told Us Weekly in August, shortly before Tucker's birth. "That was just such a special moment, and I'm looking forward to that again."
PHOTOS: Celeb moms' favorite healthy snacks
Brady and Mason are equally excited about their new little brother, she added. They doted on Tucker even before he was born.
"I can't leave or go anywhere -- even to bed! -- without them kissing the baby goodnight or saying, 'Good morning, baby,' or reading books to the baby," she said.

Details of Of Monsters And Men and the Ticket Luck value
Of Monsters and Men is a famous indie folk and pop band from Iceland, that was founded in 2010. In just a short amount of time, it has not only captivated native Iceland, but spread out across Europe and the US, gaining fans by the boatload. Its members are singer and guitarist Nanna Bryndis Hilmarsdottir, singer and guitarist Ragnar Dorhallsson, drummer Arna Rosenkranz Hilmarsson, guitarist Brynjar Leifsson and bassist Kritsjan Pall Kristjansson. Many have bought Of Monsters and Men tickets to see this sensational award winning band, live.
Signed onto Universal Records, Of Monsters and Men rose to fame after it won an annual battle of the bands in Iceland. In 2011, it released its first record, an EP labeled Into the Woods. The same year, it released its first studio album, titled My Head Is An Animal, that ranked a smashing sixth on the Billboard 200 charts in the US, as well as topping charts all over Europe. One of the album's singles ranked first on the US Alternative Songs charts, topping five other European charts in eh process.
Winner of the European Border Breakers Awards, Of Monsters and Men has had its music compared to that of American acts such as Mumford & Sons, Aracade Fire and Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros. It was founded by Nanna Bryndis Hilmarsdottir, when she decided to turn her solo project into a full fledged band. Starting with four, the band expanded to six members and began touring Iceland venues, as well as recording new music.
In 2010, Of Monsters and Men performed at the Iceland Airwaves festival, where KEXP, a radio station based in Seattle, Washington, recorded them performing one of their songs. In 2011, they were signed onto Record Records, releasing their debut album in 2011. American stations, starting with Radio 104.5 in Philadelphia, began playing their songs, propelling them to national fame. Their debut album and debut single both ranked first in Iceland, the US and other European countries. Their popularity led to them being signed onto Universal Records, leading to American concerts at festivals such as Lollapalooza, Newport Folk Festival and the Osheaga Festival.
Of Monsters and Men also toured Europe, visiting countries such as Italy, Sweden, Ireland and Germany. They appeared live on Sound Tracks: Music Without Borders, a PBS show, performing one of their new songs. Hard at work on their album and touring venues all over the US and as far as Scotland, this is an indie pop and rock group that deserves to be seen playing live, courtesy of Of Monsters and Men tickets.

Construction on the cathedral began between 1536 and 1539. Work was completed by Puebla's most famous son, Bishop Juan de Palafox y Mendoza, who donated his personal fortune to build its famous tower, the second largest in the country. The altar was constructed between 1797 and 1818. Manuel Tolsá, Mexico's most illustrious colonial architect, adorned it with onyx, marble, and gold.

A Further Perspective
Happy Talk
Mr. Obama, charm is as charm does.
If you closed your eyes during the State of the Union address (and you allowed for the difference in voices), much of it could have been the words of Ronald Reagan. Gone was Mr. Obama's usually peevish tone, replaced by upbeat, can-do, let's-win-the-future words and tone.
The purpose of this was to charm independent voters. Apparently it did, according to early polls. His "favorable" rating went up. Will the charm extend to policies that promote real economic growth? Unless you ignore his lifelong training, education and actions in three public offices, don't count on it. For him, the government is the only engine of growth and the only institution to be trusted.
Despite paeans to capitalism and individual freedom, his remarks, at the core, were for more government spending. He spoke, of making "investments" in education, infrastructure and that old chestnut, "green energy jobs."
Investments require capital. The federal government does not have any capital. Anything it spends must be paid for in one of three ways: (1) taxes; (2) borrowing (China comes to mind as a lender) or (3) printing more money (which leads to inflation). Despite his insistence, the spending he has in mind cannot be called investments, though he will doubtless continue to describe it that way. It is, in fact, an extension of his reviled "stimulus" program. (Remember the "Shovel-ready" projects that he later admitted never existed?)
He called for a five-year "freeze" on discretionary domestic spending. This category affects only 16 percent of federal spending. His grand claim is to "save" $400 billion over 10 years. "Freezing" any spending saves exactly nothing. His "savings" are as illusory as those promised under Obamacare.
The day after the speech, the Congressional Budget Office released a new report projecting that the national debt would rise to nearly $15 trillion by the September close of the current fiscal year. The president was 80 percent of the way into his speech before he mentioned, in passing, the fact that we have a serious national debt problem. Interest on that debt soaks up 40 cents of every federal dollar spent (there's China again).
He glossed over the two 800-pound gorillas in the room, Social Security and Medicare, which are rapidly moving toward bankruptcy. He used his familiar straw-man device. He said any reform must not touch benefits for those retired or especially vulnerable -- as if anyone had done that.
Ignored completely were the findings -- many of them bracing -- of his own Deficit Reduction Commission, as if it had never existed.
Obama may continue to add the gloss of happy talk to his stump speeches, but they will remain, like this one, speeches dedicated to selling ever bigger government solutions to problems which require less spending, debt reduction, pro-growth tax policies and smaller government.

Hello, my name is Lynn. I am the former owner of a very successful Commercial Real Estate Company in New Jersey which I recently sold. I have over 25 years of Commercial Real Estate experience and over 200 million dollars in personal sales. My expertise was in listing, contract negotiations, marketing and property development. I was all about business, however, I wanted to do something more creative and fun.
Back in 1998 while traveling from Kauai I had a conversation with a woman who was in the high end home vacation rental business. She had homes all over the world and this intrigued me. I started to research information and bought my first property in Goodyear, Az., Estrella Mountain Ranch; it is a custom home with a pool and spa with great views and privacy! I went on and purchased Poipu Villa Vista in Kauai, Hawaii with ocean, golf course, mountain and crater views and an international vacation home in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, with a rooftop deck and views of the entire city. Our latest purchase was in Lake Como, New Jersey it is a seaside community just a half block from the lake and eight blocks from the ocean.
Owning vacation properties gives me a chance to be creative in renovating and decorating these custom homes to correspond with thier locations. Our goal is to have the stay for our guests become a special and unique experience and create memories for them that they will cherish forever. We live in a stressful world and each property has a calming effect that our guests love. They let us know we have achieved this by thier comments!
Left on Jan 25, 2011 for a stay in April 2007
From the front door to the rooftop this house is a delight. The beautiful mexican architecture is reflected everywhere, even in the ceilings. The double windows open to let in the cool night air which makes for a refreshing nights sleep. The modern conveniences completes the comfort zone for a delightful visit. From the garden for breakfast to the rooftop for evening drinks all was perfect. …

What does that mean? Honestly, because the movie is supposed to not only be dramatic, but a piece of art. Art is important to those that take it seriously. And the movie is dealing with big subject matters. Slavery and the worth of a human being. The politics of getting a bill passed and building consensus among people who differing views. This is a big moment in human history, why wouldn't that be important?
I think he means it's aware of it's importance, and applies that importance to itself, regardless of the quality of material contained within. That's just a guess, though.

A perfect lunch to split for two ? the best Matzoh Ball Soup in the city, followed by Pastrami on Rye and pickles on the side.
Grab some matzah ball soup!

Hands down the best deli in NY - friendly service, great food and most of all its authentic. Don't waste your time anywhere else, especially Carnegie - yuck!
can't go wrong with matzo ball soup, pastrami sandwich and extra health salad!
THE New York deli experience.

Hunter-Reay closes in on Castroneves

NEWTON, Iowa -- Last season, Ryan Hunter-Reay strung together back-to-back wins at Milwaukee and Iowa during a stretch that was crucial in clinching his first IndyCar Series title.
If Hunter-Reay can repeat the Milwaukee-Iowa sweep again this weekend, the defending champion could find himself back in first place in the points chase.
Hunter-Reay heads into Sunday's race at Iowa Speedway in fantastic form. The win at the Milwaukee Mile last week was Hunter-Reay's fourth podium finish ...

That night, Hercule Poirot is called in to find the "evil presence". But first he must establish whether he is looking for a murderer or a double-murderer.
©1969 Agatha Christie Limited; (P)2002 HarperCollins Publishers Ltd, London UK
"A thundering success...a triumph for Hercule Poirot." (Daily Mirror)
There are no listener reviews for this title yet.
"Death by Apple-bobbing!"
Murder, magic, apples
I cannot think of another book I could compare it to.
I love Hugh Fraser's interpretation of the Agatha Christie novels
Made me feel rather creepy and a bit sad
"Spooky with twists and turns, more real life than usual"
Hugh Fraser does not disappoint, I adored his Ariadne Oliver voice! An outstanding delivery as always.
A hard read as involves murder of a child. Last chapters are gripping, very atmospheric
I found it a very sad story actually.
"Halloween Party"
Agatha Christie audio books are fantastic so easy to get into I get really engrossed in the storyline and I can do my cross stitch at the same time.
I hadn't heard of this book so I was intiged about what it could be about.
I listened to the book straight through didn't need to rewind it once that's how good the story was.
Hugh Fraser narrated very well I enjoy listening to him

Several recent works propose mobile sink based data gathering approaches to distribute energy consumption in Wireless Sensor Networks. However, mobility based algorithms require the sink to periodically update its location to the network to ensure multi-hop connectivity. This additional information increases the control traffic overhead, and thus energy consumption also increases. In this paper, we propose a distributive energy efficient sink location update mechanism for mobile sink WSNs, along with a preemptive buffering data collection technique. This sink location update mechanism combines MPR based broadcast algorithm with a distributed local repair mechanism, whereby, sensor nodes dynamically control the scope of sink location update messages. In preemptive buffering mechanism, sink's neighbor nodes act as temporary data collection points, referred as roots, to prevent data loss when sink moves out of their vicinity. We show by simulations that our proposal effectively reduces the energy consumption and data losses of the network.

While the nation's two major political parties bicker over name-calling, a collection of smaller third-parties came together Wednesday in a so-called unity event that, in the end, only produced yet more bickering.
Supporters of Texas Rep. Ron Paul, a conservative who made a run for the Republican presidential nomination, were fuming Wednesday over what they said was a last-minute decision by Libertarian Party candidate Bob Barr to skip a press briefing with three other long-shot candidates designed to challenge the election dominance of Democrats and Republicans.
Mr. Barr, at his own solo news conference an hour later, said he passed on the group effort for fear it would "dilute" his candidacy and reduce his party's influence after the November election.
The four candidates [-] including independent consumer activist Ralph Nader, Green Party nominee; Cynthia McKinney, a former Democrats congresswoman from Georgia, and Chuck Baldwin of the Constitution Party [-] were supposed to endorse a quartet of principles drafted by Mr. Paul on issues ranging from ending the war in Iraq and cutting the national debt to reforming the Federal Reserve System.
"By coming together, we represent a majority of the American people. We deserve to be heard. We deserve to be in the [presidential] debates," Mr. Paul said.
Mr. Barr said he did not oppose the Paul statement of principles, but said he was trying to maximize his party's vote count in November and its clout with the new administration. He noted that the platform of Reform Party nominee H. Ross Perot helped shape the debates on welfare reform and federal spending after he won nearly a fifth of the vote in the 1992 presidential election.
"We can endorse these principles, but we also think it is important not to dilute our message. The goal is to amass as large a percentage of votes as possible to affect policy. You can't do that by a collection of amorphous groups," Mr. Barr said.
The former Georgia Republican lawmaker said he had offered the Libertarian vice-presidential nomination to Mr. Paul, saying current running mate Wayne Allyn Root had agreed to step aside if the Texas joined the ticket.
Mr. Paul ran for president under the Libertarian banner in 1988, but is seeking re-election this year to his Texas congressional seat.
"We don't anticipate he'll join us," said Mr. Barr, who insisted he had never promised to attend Mr. Paul's unity event, but at least two of Mr. Paul's supporters said they were dropping their support of Mr. Barr because of his failure to appear.
"I think he's as arrogant as George W. Bush," one said heatedly after the end of Mr. Barr's press briefing.
Dan Rasmussen, an organizer of the Paul briefing, said Mr. Barr called just 30 minutes before the morning event to back out.
Mr. Paul, who attracted an ardent following during his failed Republican presidential run, revealed he had also turned down an appeal from the campaign of Arizona Sen. John McCain to endorse the Republican standard-bearer.
Mr. Paul told reporters that fellow Texan Phil Gramm, a former senator and onetime top adviser to the McCain campaign, had called earlier this week asking him to endorse Mr. McCain because "he would do a little less harm" than Democratic rival Sen. Barack Obama.
Mr. Paul said he declined because "I didn't like the idea of 2 or 3 million people getting angry with me," referring to his supporters in the Republican primaries.

Brush Creek (Raystown Branch Juniata River)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Brush Creek is a 24.7-mile-long (39.8 km)[1] tributary of the Raystown Branch Juniata River in Fulton and Bedford counties, Pennsylvania, in the United States.[2]
Brush Creek flows down a valley between Polish Mountain and Rays Hill, and enters the Raystown Branch several miles west of Breezewood.[2]
The Feltons Mill Covered Bridge and Jacksons Mill Covered Bridge cross Brush Creek.[3]

Beautiful large oval shaped stone
By H.E.
from Penticton, B.C.
I just love this beautiful and white natural stone. It has some wonderful properties one of which is "clarity of mind" and a whole host of others. It looks lovely on the finger and since I love large stones it fit the bill perfectly. I couldn't believe how reasonable it was with the sale price.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

The video of the ring looked beautiful, however when the ring arrived the white stone was nicked in three places and the wire around either end was black. Very disappointing! I ended up sending it back.

Sterling Silver Selenite & Topaz Ring
By Addicted Shopper
from Whitby, Ontario
I bought the ring in white and am very pleased with the moonstone-like nature of it.I love it and will keep the ring but wish mention had been made of the softness of the stone on air. I generally check on 'Google' but neglected to in this caes before purchasing.

I received my ring a few days ago. It is gorgeous but unfortunately I have to agree with a previous comment. My ring also arrived looking somewhat tarnished. The two thin lines of silver that curve around the outside appear to be a bit black and not shiny silver at all. The color is different than the rest of the ring. I regret to say that I will be sending it back. To bad because I really love the look of the ring and the size is really nice as well. If you are lucky enough to receive one that's not tarnished I would definately reccomend this ring

Arrived tarnished black, yuk!
By Gabriella
from Montreal
Where to start. This ring arrived tarnished black. After polishing it only to discover that the silver work had not been finished, blobs of silver here and there and there. Yuk! Seriously, where's quality control? This after receiving last week from Sajen another ring, broken. This one is going back, period. The exchange from last week needs to arrive pristine otherwise I'm done shopping from Sajen. Wasting too, too much money on S/H.This ring doesn't even deserve a one star. So no, I do not recommend this ring. YUK!!!

I have found since wearing this ring that it marks very easily. Is there a way to have these blemishes removed/buffed out??
pretty in pink
By Jan G
from Port Coquitlam BC
This ring was much prettier than depicted on TV or on line.It appeared much rounder on TV when in fact it is very oval. The color was a pretty pinky coral and beautiful silver work. The two topaz stones seemed to be stuck on it a little out of place,but still avery nice piece of jewelry.
By B.
from Bowmanville
I ordered the ring in the white & was dazzled. I have received many compliments on my unique ring.
Crazy about this Ring
By Mars
from Regina, Saskatchewan
Got this ring in blue the last time SILVER BY SAGEN was here. Reach for this ring everytime I wear my rings. Absolutly Beautiful!There's something ethereal about it.
By Tig
from Ottawa
The stone in my ring is like pink moon-glow.The centre is a soft, luminous pool of pink transitioning to a deeper, yet still a soft warm shade of pink to complete the oval.It is set in a very delicate silver ruffle. The Balanese craftsmanship is so cleverly done.


text: Old system will be reactivated while technical issues are fixedAnnapolis, MD (December 23, 2011) — County Executive John R. Leopold today announced that the County is temporarily suspending the rollout of its new computer-aided dispatch system in the interests of safety for police officers, firefighters and paramedics."We want to have the most modern communications and tracking systems available to our public safety personnel, but our priority concern is their safety when they are out in the field," County Executive Leopold said. "I support this recommendation by Chief Teare and Chief Ray to shut the new computer system down while we fix problems that have been identified by our dispatchers and first responders."The new Tiburon e-911 system was activated on Dec. 6. Public safety personnel have since identified problems that could potentially put them in danger, such as difficulty determining the exact location of an officer responding to a call or viewing prior incident information for a particular location.After discussing the challenges this week, members of the Administration, public safety agencies and the Office of Information Technology met and decided to revert to the prior dispatch system for 30 days to resolve problems with the new system.

How Blake Shelton Tricked Miranda Lambert With "Boring" Honeymoon
After marrying Miranda Lambert on a Texas ranch in May, Blake Shelton had another romantic trick up his sleeve.
"We had a week [off of work]," the country star, 35, tells Parade magazine, "and we spent three days of that at home." (The couple live on 1,200 acres in Tishomingo, Oklahoma, in a former hunting lodge they share with seven rescute dogs.) After that stay-cation, "I surprised her: I told her I wanted to take her on an Oklahoma road trip."
PHOTOS: How Blake and Miranda fell in love
Fellow crooner Lambert wasn't overjoyed at that plan, Shelton said. "When you're Miranda Lambert and you're 27 years old, [that] sounds miserably boring. She was like, 'Well, that'll be okay, I guess. Just don't point out everything -- let's just have fun.'"
The real plan, as first revealed by Us Weekly: "What she didn't know was I was going to drive us to a plane so we could fly to Cancun. We stayed in Reba [McEntire]'s and Narvel [Blackstock]'s house for about three days down there. It was so much fun."
PHOTOS: See Miranda's beautiful wedding dress!
Shelton also opens up some more about their rustic, country-fied wedding -- which included moonshine for guests! "Back when I was younger, that was a funny thing to do, take a shot of moonshine," he explains.
"I don't do it anymore--it will rot your insides out. But people who hadn't done it were trying it, and I'm sure they were regretting it the next day. It was the real deal."
PHOTOS: Where other A-list couples have honeymooned
Which is not to say that Shelton doesn't enjoy the pleasures of alcohol. He famous drunk-tweets frequently from his popular Twitter handle. "It's just a way to say something ridiculous," explains the star, whose fave cocktail is Bacardi mixed with Crystal Light. "Yeah, I drink a lot. But I'm not drunk every night."

Big Ideas:
Writing for the web is a new set of skills. And very different from academic writing.
Here's a first draft of what Audrey and I are working on--feedback and ideas most welcome!
This course will become read-only in the near future. Tell us at community.p2pu.org if that is a problem.
Who is your coming? What will attract them?
Think about the skills they want. You can tag your course with those skills in the "Course Creation" page.
Consider what language they use. You may want to phrase your tasks and activities in terms they are familiar with.
Where do they hang out? Think about the places, activities and tools that get your peers jazzed up.
What do you want learners to be able to do when they are done?
Big Ideas:
Writing for the web is a new set of skills. And very different from academic writing.
Here's a first draft of what Audrey and I are working on--feedback and ideas most welcome!
example context: designing software across cultures
goal: understand that it doesn't work the same for everyone - values and rules between cultures differ.
Why writing and reading skills matters today? Are these important for you? There are the background questions of my challenge.
I want them to understand that their literacy skills will change their world.
Is this a good example of BIG IDEA? Maybe it can be smaller?
"I want them to understand that their literacy skills will change their world."
is actually a great big idea. It is something your peers will remember after a long time, great work.
When you are actually writing out your challenge, you might want to give some examples for that, but for now it looks good.
My idea for a challenge is for people interested to become knowledgable enough about electricity and their power usage to plan for solar power. Very few people know how much power they use or even understand how electricity is measured, other that the amout for the check they write each month.
Planning for solar power can save money by just making people aware of the power they do use, what uses a lot and what doesn't really matter.
My challenge will involve tracking all the things in ones home that use electricity and estimating the month usage.
Hopefully the data gathered will be used in a follow up course on designing a solar powered home
I would love to see this challenge happen. I am working with my neighbors to create a block-wide energy utility where we can collectively capture and share solar energy (either thermal hot water or electricity). Few of us in the neighborhood understand the metrics involved and it holds back our planning.
Hi Brad
While I'm reading your post, I think that you can precise better your BIG IDEA.
Maybe it can be something like this:
Selfmanaging of power consume emancipates us and will change our vision about power.
Do you like this?
The big idea of my first challenge is that creating solid mission and vision statements for your enterprise is the first step to successful marketing.
Question: Is there an "ideal" chunk size for challenges? Can multiple challenges be linked togehter in a sequence?
As an example, my entrepreneurial marketing course included creating all the major elements of creating a marketing program for an endeavor. Now I'm breaking it into smaller pieces:
Ideally, some of these should be done before others.
Does it make sense to have each of these as a separate challenges? And is there a way to make some "pre-requisites) to others?
Hello Karen,
Re Sets: we can create a Challenge Set like this one : http://p2pu.org/en/schools/school-of-webcraft/sets/webmaking-101/
This functionality is still only available through back-end but can definately help you get started with it once you have a set of Challenges you d like to connect.
Re: does it makes sense to break them up into separate challenges ; I think as far as I can tell, yes if you think that each of these tasks might be longer than say a paragraph or if they have many subtasks.
hope this helps!
That does help. Thanks.
Each of these challenges is pretty meaty and has subtasks.
I'm really intrigued by how P2PU can harness the energy and talents of people who feel stifled by traditional higher education or how P2PU can break down some of the barriers for people that have been underrepresented in traditional higher education. I like the question "how does the internet work" because I'm a structural learner and I think I could muse about something similar for the DIY U class. For example, a question could be "how does college work?" This might be really basic for some people, but I bet there would be a myriad of answers and those answers could help mentors/facilitators/peers interrogate assumptions about traditional education and move the learner towards a more creative model. If you asked me "how does college work" and had me do something like the internet question, like drawing how college works, it would look completely different from my parents' drawing or my sisters' or my best friend's.
Perhaps you all can help me out here and help move my questioning onto a good path?
I think our main goal (for our DIY U challenge) is to help people create a personal learning plan. An awesome one that has clear goals, measures progress and is worth holding one-self accountable to.

Danger: Tornado (Mini Article)
We may be into global warming as a trend, but it looks like a cold winter this year. Nature knows climate and she provides us with messages about the coming season. The lack of hurricanes this year (2013) indicates less pent up energy and more released energy. Energy forces of the earth are stored just like a battery stores energy and this year has been less volatile than normal.

I'm not sure if the title "Taken" refers to the kidnapping at the center of the film or the hoodwinked feeling audiences will have when it's finished.
Maggie Grace, who is 25, plays 17-year-old Kim, and your first qualms about the movie may kick in when you realize Grace thinks she'll seem more teenaged if she skips around a lot. The skipping stops, though, on a trip to France, when some hoods grab her while she's on the phone with her dad (Liam Neeson). Fortunately, Dad is a former CIA guy who has access to sophisticated technology and who doesn't care how many people he kills in order to get his daughter back.
"Taken" is a brutal, single-minded film in ways that work in its favor and against it. It doesn't lollygag, zipping from chase scene to massacre and back to another chase scene. The nonlollygagging is a good thing, because if "Taken" paused for a moment, you'd have time to think about how dopey it is that, for instance, Neeson single-handedly mows down rooms full of well-armed thugs not once, not twice, but three times. Or that Neeson's pursuit of his daughter results in harm being done to dozens of others, many of them equally innocent. Or that "Taken" seems determined for Neeson to emerge from all of this unscathed.
One of the things I did like about "Taken" is its acknowledgment that a nice guy probably would not be able to do the things Neeson does here.
It also takes a toll on viewers' patience. By the film's improbable conclusion, they're likely to be remembering Mel Gibson's similar "Ransom," which had a better villain and a tidier premise and a much more intelligent script.
Directed by: Pierre Morel
Starring: Liam Neeson, Maggie Grace
Rated: PG-13, but if the American ratings system made sense, it would be R for its enormous body count, drug use and disturbing sexuality
Should you go? Not at full price. It's absorbing while you're watching it but ridiculous immediately afterward. **
