In fact we hope to have some fairly detailed advice about Revision online shortly and this will include different revision strategies for different types of learners.
Look out for this!

Most revision strategies are based around knowing your learning style -are you a visual, an auditory or a kinaesthetic (hands-on) learner? If you check out this site you will get some ideas.
johndclare.net has some practical organisational advice and links to some good revision sites.
And I have written a long article, primarily aimed at parents, but with loads of good ideas, on my school website. There is also a good article on the different kinds of learners and strategies to help them here
Posted 11 April 2004 - 07:58 PM
I take a small topic of study such as for instance the Munich Putsch and read the information from class through and then if I don't quite understand it look it up in a revision guide or via the net to find out more information to let me understand the whole topic. Then I cover the information over and on a seperate piece of paper try and make a brain storm summarising all the main important points so that I can recall them in my mind. Then check to see how much I remembered and if it wasn't enough re-do the brainstorm. Then move on. At the end of my revision session then, I try to re-draw all the brainstorms and then see how much I've remembered.
Those little GCSE bitesize books are good too, you can focus on one page, revise it and then return to it to check it. However, so I'm told by my teachers everyone learns differently - so other people might have other points of views. If you can't revise dates or something complicated sometimes I have to write it out over and over again until it sticks in my head. Post-it notes are good too, stick them all over your room to help you remember things.
Hope it helps

i also make general essay plans for all the major topics, so if a question comes up that is related in some way to the ones i planned, i can pull information from there
i also like colour coding my notes and spider diagrams
Posted 09 May 2004 - 08:49 PM
But I though I'd check out the net for other sites then the BBc bitesize for history, which proved to be a pile of sh*t (all this stuff on medicine )
Untill I stumbled upon this site - it totally rocks! It has everything that deals with the syllabus i'm doing (OCR). So hmn, yeah, I use this site for any history revision i do, and considering my exams are like two weeks away (GCSE) I'm on this site frequently. So if you haven't already figured, I just revise from this site, for my history

I sometimes do little knowledge questions, end of unit tests or sample questions from a textbook. I also go onto the BBC Website sometimes and do the Bitesize revision.
Also, if I want to remember dates, vocab, names, keywords etc, I use the read-repeat-cover-write-check method right before I go to bed. I find that revising before night is the most effective way to memorise things.
Hope I've been of some assistance!
Posted 16 November 2004 - 10:34 AM
Actually, I just simply read through the text book, and do some conprehension exercises on the web. And I really think this helped me a lot.
Evidently, a combination of all the proposed options would be ideal for productive revision, but which method suits you best?

The Romney family voted on Mitt's run, and decided 10-2 against
Dan Balz's book Collision 2012 documents how much Romney didn't want to be president, how hard he tried not to set up an elaborate campaign infrastructure, how little he wanted to spend two years of his life working 10 hours a day.

"Glee," the musical comedy that once high ratings high notes for Fox, will be absent from the network's fall schedule and may have its episode order reduced when the show returns for its final run.
Fox has an order for 22 episodes of "Glee," which is scheduled to return at midseason, but Fox entertainment chief Kevin Reilly says that could change. He told reporters on Monday that the network will work with the show's co-creator Ryan Murphy on how best to close out "Glee."
"We need to sit down with (him) on how to end it," Reilly said. "The advantage of airing it later in the season is that it doesn't have to feel the pressure of delivering."
"Glee" was once a big bright spot on the Fox schedule, but Season 5 has suffered from a substantial ratings decline as the show dealt with the stunning death of Cory Monteith and made the transition to New York City-based story lines. Moreover, "Glee" has been plagued by rumors of on-set strife between co-stars Lea Michele and Naya Rivera.
Now, in hindsight, Fox's decision last spring to order two more seasons of "Glee" instead of one may have been a mistake.
"It was really a business decision," Reilly explained "We sat down with Ryan and heard creatively where he it was going. Ryan had a good beat."

Now that daylight hours have just turned longer and we head into the final leg of ski season, it's time to catch up on completing all the winter plans that we've been talking about but just haven't gotten around to yet.
Last week I was able to complete a long-gestating desire to sample the delights of an overnight winter hut trip. Along with our experienced and intrepid leader, Bob Purvis, Jack Kennedy and I spent a week or so under Bob's expert tutelage gearing up for this backcountry adventure. I was the novice in the group and thus thought more gear and rations than less was the way to go.
Although the proprietors of Ute Mountaineer and Bristlecone Mountain Sports benefited from my lack of experience and my less-than-full attention to Bob's sage advice, the first lesson I learned for future treks is that less is better. Whatever you take in and take out goes on your back, and what with my initial attempt at maneuvering snowshoes through deep powder, more weight than necessary is not a novice from Santa Monica's way to hit the winter trail.
The trailhead to the Point Breeze cabin is about a 21⁄2-hour drive from Snowmass at the top of Tennessee Pass and across the road from Ski Cooper, which is at the dividing line between the San Isabel and White River national forests near Leadville. For history buffs, the area was host to the Army's Camp Hale and served as a training site for the 10th Mountain Division during World War II.
We started our adventure early in the morning with a quick coffee stop at Saxy's in Basalt and a fish-taco lunch at Mango's Mountain Grill in Red Cliff, an old mining camp in the canyon of the upper Eagle River, just off U.S. Highway 24. After getting the flavor of the area from a longtime local, we headed up to our final destination and a beautiful blue-sky backcountry adventure.
The hike in to our cabin was just the right distance for a novice on snowshoes. As advised by my compatriots, the Point Breeze cabin is only a year or so old and rather luxurious by 10th Mountain hut standards - two separate bedrooms and a large communal living area with a huge wood-burning stove for heating and cooking, solar lighting and a small propane cook-top to augment our wood-burning cooking skills. The toilet facility with the traditional half moon cut into the door is outside just a few feet down a covered walkway from the cabin proper. This was a point of advance worry for me because, due to my advanced years, I usually visit this facility a couple of times during sleeping hours and was pleased to find a lighted path that was not unreasonably cold in the wee hours.
After Bob instructed us on the rules of backcountry cabin living, including frequent reminders to conserve our limited solar power as well as water purification, from snow to liquid boiling techniques, we were off on a hike of the surrounding terrain.
Bob thought it would be a useful learning experience to give us a bit of avalanche-recovery training. He furnished each of us with a beacon and a probe and some operational instruction, and then they decided it might be interesting to test out the equipment. I drew the short straw and became the victim they would try to find. Luckily they knew what they were doing, and all the electronics pointed to my location. Needless to say, Bob also came equipped with a GPS locator/signaling device and some other gadgetry in case anything turned ugly, but luckily all went well.
As the sun began to set, we returned to the cabin to prepare our evening meal, which consisted of various packets of freeze-dried delicacies, various trail-mix hors d'oeuvres and a bit of bourbon and tequila. I was quite surprised and pleased to find my freeze-dried fettuccini alfredo with chicken quite tasty. I'm thinking about stocking up for the trip back to Santa Monica.
After dinner and cleanup, we spent well into the late hours with a bit more alcoholic refreshment and a lot of great conversation, not the least of which was centered on our attempt to solve several of the big problems currently facing our village, but more on that in a future column.
At sunrise, we awoke to another beautiful blue-sky day, had a modest breakfast of tea and trail mix and moved out for further exploration of the surrounding trails, which led to some interesting landmarks and historical points of reference.
By noon, we had returned to the cabin for a final cleanup of the facilities for the next group. I was appointed executive in charge of the broom and sweeping detail, and a fine job well done, if I say so myself. We then packed up our gear, snowshoed back out to the trailhead and headed home to Snowmass via a Maryland crab-cake lunch in Edwards at the Gashouse, along with a back-to-civilization stop at Starbucks.
It might sound a bit trite, but my two-day camping trip with my comrades, Bob and Jack, was one of the most exciting and enlightening adventures I've ever been on. Hopefully we can renew this experience sometime this summer and visit another of the numerous huts in the system and then on to another winter excursion when the snow falls next year.
If you're looking for a fantastic bonding experience with family or a group of friends, nothing can beat the solitude and beauty of a backcountry trek within the forests surrounding our little piece of paradise.
By the way, anyone who's disappointed that Bob and Jack brought me back out of the woods and returned me to Snowmass is welcome to contact them directly with your complaints.

Retirement should be a time when you can kick back and smell the roses. But for many retirees, managing savings and benefits is a full-time job, and not an easy job, either. Poor choices could cost you your home, jeopardize your health care, or leave you without enough money to pay the bills in your later years.

Con artists thrive on confusion, and as we reported last November, seniors are a prime target for financial scams (see Protect Yourself, Loved Ones From Financial Abuse of the Elderly). More than half of all certified financial planners have worked with a senior who has been the victim of unfair, deceptive or abusive practices, according to a recent survey by the Certified Financial Planners Board of Standards. (See ways adult children can help parents spot scams.)
But even legitimate -- and often appropriate -- financial products come with drawbacks that aren't always explained in the marketing pitches. We've focused on three products that are heavily marketed to retirees: reverse mortgages, long-term-care insurance and annuities. Unlike a faulty lawn mower, they can't be returned if you're unhappy with their performance. Before you buy, you need to understand the risks.
Reverse mortgages
What do Robert Wagner, Pat Boone, Fred Thompson and Henry Winkler have in common? If you've watched TV lately, you probably know the answer: They are all celebrity spokesmen for companies that offer reverse mortgages. Once you get over the shock of seeing the Fonz with gray hair, it's hard not to be intrigued. Life without mortgage payments! A government-insured loan! The retirement you deserve!
Like a traditional mortgage, a reverse mortgage allows you to borrow against your home equity. You don't have to repay the loan as long as you remain in your home. You must be 62 or older to qualify, and your home must be your primary residence. If you need extra income to supplement your retirement savings, a reverse mortgage may seem like the answer to your prayers. But the TV ads don't say much about the downsides.
You could run out of money. You can take your payout as a line of credit, monthly payments or a lump sum. In recent years, the majority of borrowers have opted for a lump sum, according to a recent report from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
Peter Bell, president of the National Reverse Mortgage Lenders Association, says there's no evidence that lump-sum borrowers are spending the money frivolously. Many younger borrowers are using reverse mortgages to pay off their existing mortgages, which frees up money for other purposes, says Bell. But borrowers who withdraw all of their available home equity upfront "will have fewer resources to draw upon to pay for everyday and major expenses later in life," the CFPB says.
And the younger borrowers are when they tap their home equity, the greater the risk they'll run out of money. According to the CFPB report, in 2011, nearly half of borrowers were in their sixties; in 1990, less than 20% were.
Reverse mortgages are expensive. Although fees have come down, reverse mortgages are still a costly source of cash. The most common reverse mortgage, the federally insured Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM), charges an initial 2% insurance premium on the full value of the home, which guarantees that you will receive expected loan advances. That means you would pay a premium of $8,000 on a home valued at $400,000, no matter how much you borrow. Lenders that offer HECM loans are also allowed to charge an origination fee ranging from $2,500 to $6,000, depending on the appraised value of your home. And you'll pay closing costs that typically include an appraisal, title search and other fees, along with servicing fees of up to $35 a month.
The HECM Saver, available since 2010, charges an initial insurance premium of just 0.01% of the home's value. However, the amount you can borrow is much lower than it is for the standard HECM, and the interest rate is higher.
Because fees are so high, you should explore other sources of funds before taking out a reverse mortgage, says Susanna Montezemolo, vice-president of federal affairs for the Center for Responsible Lending, in Washington, D.C. A traditional cash-out refinancing or home equity line of credit is less costly, although retirees who are living on a fixed income may have trouble meeting post-2008 lending standards. Tapping your savings is another alternative. "I know some people are loath to go into retirement savings, but their home is their savings as well," Montezemolo says.
You could lose your home. Even though you don't have to make payments on a reverse mortgage, you're still responsible for homeowners insurance, property taxes and maintenance. As of last February, more than 9% of reverse-mortgage borrowers were at risk of foreclosure because they had fallen behind on tax and insurance bills, reports the CFPB.
Another problem: Because the amount you're eligible to borrow is based on your age or, for married couples, the age of the younger spouse, some couples remove the younger spouse from the deed to the home before applying for a reverse mortgage. If the spouse whose name is on the deed dies or moves into a nursing home, the loan will come due, forcing the younger spouse to pay off the loan or sell the house.

SNOWMASS VILLAGE - When one has a palate for wine, odds are one also has a palate for sweets. With the Snowmass Wine Festival kicking off this weekend, hundreds of wines from across the globe will be strewn out on clothed tabletops, commanding everyone who passes by to drink up. But what good is all that wine upon a dry tongue? Thanks to a handful of local restaurants - which will be serving up some tasty treats to pair with the endless supply of reds and whites - no mouth will be left unsatisfied.
And just to make sure everyone is filled to the brim with the lushness that comes from the pairing of a good wine with a tasty delight, Rob Carney of the Snowmass Espresso Cafe will set up camp with a 500-plus supply of sweet bites baked special for this year's festival.
To get the word on the sweets, I stopped by Carney's bakery to talk shop, goods, the festival and future plans.
Snowmass Sun: You have recently moved your location from the mall to the Snowmass Center, how is your new spot treating you?
Rob Carney: I have to say it is definitely different. We don't get as many tourists down here as we did up there, but it has been fun getting to know the locals and letting everyone know we are still here.
SS: What time in the morning does the baking begin, and what's your inventory like during the season?
RC: Thankfully I have two employees who have taken over on the baking side, and their day usually starts around 5 a.m. In season we will bake 400-500 items each day, and our busiest days have us prepping for the next continually, especially cookies - we tend to go through them fast.
SS: What are your most popular sellers, and what's your personal favorite breakfast and lunch item?
RC: We sell a lot of breakfast burritos, cinnamon rolls and tuna and chicken salad sandwiches. Those who are going out to ski love the burritos in the morning, and those who work nearby like the sandwiches for lunch. We probably have the best lunch special around - $5.95 sandwiches, wraps and salads with chips, a cookie or a fountain drink - so anybody who's down here knows they can get a good deal. My personal favorites are cinnamon rolls and tuna salad.
SS: What are you bringing to the Wine Festival, and what are you looking forward to most for the weekend?
RC: I will be bringing small bites of just about everything, including cookies, muffins, croissants, sandwiches and salads. I'm looking forward to not just being a part of the grand wine tasting, but also the Balloon Festival, where I will be serving coffee and breakfast items for purchase as the balloons take off. Interacting with all the locals and catching up before the winter season will also be a fun part of the weekend.
SS: Do you have any plans to close shop for the offseason? Do you have any big plans or changes to the bakery for the upcoming winter season?
RC: We will be open throughout the entire offseason to support all the locals who will still be in town. For the future we are looking to expand our space and hopefully take on the old Sweet Life spot down at Base Village. This spot will give us the opportunity to serve breakfast and coffee on the first floor, and lunch in the dining room on the second floor. The expansion of the cafe will also come with the potential to expand our menu and increase clientele, something I have been looking forward to for a while now.

Definition of form factor in English:
form factor
1A mathematical factor that compensates for irregularity in the shape of an object, usually the ratio between its volume and that of a regular object of the same breadth and height.
Example sentences
- If the particle form factors are known, an experimental average structure factor can be extracted by dividing the intensity by the average form factor.
- The theoretic Bessel function is characterized by an infinite number of oscillations and corresponds to the model form factor of infinitely long and thin hollow columns.
- In salt-containing and dilute solutions, the form factor can be directly deduced from measurements and the conformation adopted by the molecule clearly identified.
1.1The physical size and shape of a piece of computer hardware.
Example sentences
- A standard form factor for graphics hardware would give a company like Dell or HP added flexibility in product offerings, at the cost of some inventory management overhead.
- Also, the small form factor allows them to be integrated into a laptop computer or other consumer electronic devices.
- What makes it more like a Treo (or the upcoming Blackberry 8300c) is its form factor including the compact QWERTY keyboard.

Even if USA Pro Challenge enthusiasts didn't stay all weekend, or even all day for that matter, the event was still invaluable for the exposure it brings the area, locals say.
"Though the USA Pro Challenge is certainly a great event to showcase the state of Colorado, as well as the town of Breckenridge to a national audience, overall business levels seem to have remained pretty steady during the event weekend," said Toby Babich, president of Breckenridge Resort Managers. "With the finish last year, there seemed to be more of a situation that would encourage overnight visitation and increased exploration of the town by visitors. The start this year was very rapid, and was set up and gone within hours, as were many of the visitors."
That's not necessarily a bad thing. Immediate and direct business would be a great outcome of every Breckenridge event, but some, like the cycling challenge, exposes the town to visitors on a national and international level, Babich said. The challenge was broadcast in more than 200 countries and territories.
"This type of event will help drive visitors to our town throughout the year, and is a valuable asset in introducing people to Breckenridge," Babich said. "There is no doubt that the event will encourage visitation to Breck, even though we may not realize direct results."
Bubba Gump Shrimp Co., on Main Street in Breckenridge, had a busy lunch on Friday right after the big send-off, but was a little slow when it came time for dinner service.
"I honestly think it was business as usual," assistant manager Taryn Power said of the weekend following the event. "I think the majority of the people continued on to Colorado Springs."
The restaurant didn't see a ton of business last year for the challenge, although, "we weren't at the end line," Power said. "This year we were right there."
Carver's Ski and Snowboard Shop in Breck had a tent set up at the Riverwalk Center for the race on Friday, and had a ton of people coming in for challenge bottles and jerseys, store assistant manager David Bottomley said. The shop itself was pretty busy on Saturday, but "cleared out" on Sunday.
The crowd at the start seemed a little thinned out compared to last year's finish stage, Bottomley said - he thinks most people go to the finishes.
Crowds in mountain towns weren't as big as expected, according to an article in The Denver Post. Race officials told organizers in Durango, Crested Butte, Aspen, Beaver Creek and Breck to prepare for crowds between 10,000 to 25,000 people, but preliminary estimates put them at 5,000 to 6,000, the report said.
It's hard to tell what the turnout was, said Kim Dykstra-DiLallo, Breck spokeswoman and Pro Challenge Local Organizing Committee member. With no entrance gate, and people spread out between the start in town, Blue River and Hoosier Pass, "it's difficult for us to put a number on it," she said.
But, the town did hear from organizers that the Breckenridge start was the best one in terms of people, she said. "We're actually quite pleased with the crowds."
For the town, it's not just about that one day, or one weekend. It's the branding of Breckenridge as a biking town, and the worldwide exposure. The French media even picked up the story about the "Bikeffel Tower," Dykstra-DiLallo said.
"It's just so phenomenal to see the excitement in our community, and at this level," she said. "We really put ourselves on the map."

New On-Demand Webcast: How Leading Brands Use Product Quality as a Differentiator
By Kerrie Foy on Jul 24, 2013
Last week Oracle and Kalypso jointly held a webcast showcasing some of the inspiring ways companies leverage Agile Product Lifecycle Management applications as a foundation for comprehensive Enterprise Quality Management. If you happened to miss it, don't fret! The webcast is now available On-Demand.
Why should you watch this webcast?
Product quality is a powerful differentiator: surveys consistently prove it is a top influence in consumer buying decisions. And since technology has made quality ratings so easily accessible to the market, companies are under increasing pressure to ensure the highest possible quality and to resolve issues quickly. But many companies are not fully equipped to manage this dynamic. Is your organization prepared to confidently design quality and compliance into your new products, and quickly access, analyze and resolve problems when they surface anywhere in your value chain? To prevent poor quality from affecting great products, leading brands take a comprehensive approach to managing both supplier and product quality, deploying Product Quality Management (PQM) solutions as a part of their overall Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) roadmap. Please take a moment to watch this On-Demand Product Quality Webcast with speakers Joe Erickson of Oracle and Fred Brown of Kalypso featuring an informative discussion on how Agile PLM and PLM for Process can help your company prepare for and manage your product quality and regulatory requirements.
There's even a special offer included in the webcast... watch it today to find out!

Birmingham Conservation Trust
Birmingham Conservation Trust works to find imaginative and sustainable solutions for historic buildings in the City that are threatened with dereliction and decay. With its charitable status, the Trust can draw in funds from Lottery and other charitable trusts to tackle buildings no one else will touch and in the process create attractive places to work, live and play.
The Trust also has an educational remit to promote an understanding and awareness of Birmingham's architectural heritage. It does this through talks, lectures and running open days at relevant properties. In this way it remains close to the local communities, who have an interest in the buildings being restored.
The group is run by a board of trustees with a wide range of skills, who represent interest groups in the City and the City Council Planning Department. Once projects are completed any proceeds are ploughed back into future projects.
In recent years the Trust has:
Saved the last courtyard of Back to Backs in Birmingham.
In 2004 the Trust completed an exciting and ambitious scheme to rescue the last courtyard of Back to Backs in the city and secure their future. The Trust raised over .8 million and undertook a complete programme of repairs.
The buildings were then handed over to the National Trust who has taken on the long term management. The project, which featured in a five-part documentary by Carlton TV, has been an outstanding success, drawing in over 40,000 visitors in the first year, becoming a focus for community links and attracting a number of prestigious awards.
Completed a feasibility study for Perrott Folly, Edgbaston.
This magnificent seven story Grade II* listed 18th century tower had serious structural problems and needed a new use to secure its future maintenance. However, this is not an easy project as the rooms are small and the stairs are steep and difficult. Working with the local community, the Trust has completed a detailed study, which explored all available options. As an immediate result of the study, the Trust undertook emergency repairs.
Developed a scheme to open Newman Brothers Coffin Works to the public.
Newman Brothers is a most unusual survival of a Victorian coffin fittings factory, complete with all its machinery and much of its stock. In its heyday the company exported its goods across the world and their name is a byword for the highest quality coffin handles and shrouds.
Listed Grade II* by English Heritage in 2000, the factory was under serious threat of re-development but following an application from the Trust to Advantage West Midlands, the regional development agency bought the factory and agreed to fund Birmingham Conservation Trust to implement a mixed use scheme, whereby the most interesting parts would be opened to the public and the remaining areas converted into offices to generate income for the public parts. This is now the Trust major priority and is likely to costs approximately £2.5 million.
Improved the capacity of the Trust.
The Trust has continued to increase its capacity to undertake its challenging work. Not only has the Board has been strengthened by the introduction of several new active members with appropriate skills but staffing hours have also been increased.
Thanks to the huge publicity and success of the Back to Back project the Trust has been transformed from a relatively unknown organisation to one is recognised regionally and nationally.
The Trust website contains full information on all aspects of the trust work. www.birminghamconservationtrust.org
Priorities for the Future
- Continue to develop partnerships with local communities and other organisations in the City to facilitate the repair and renewal of buildings at risk
- Full develop and implement the Newman Brothers Coffin Works scheme
- Continue to raise awareness of the potential of the City buildings for re-use and regeneration
- Encourage access and enjoyment of Birmingham historic buildings by opening them to the public

Sense of excitement builds in Watertown
WATERTOWN — Season three in the football head coaching tenure of Mike Veronneau brings plenty of excitement in Watertown.
When asked if the Indians are in the mix, in terms of the Naugatuck Valley League Brass Division, Veronneau said "I want us to be considered on the radar with the experience we have."
Seven of 11 starters return on offense, including quarterback Andrew Biello and center Mike Lombardi, while eight of 11 return on defense, led by team anchor and defensive end Andrew Kalach, a 2011 Naugatuck Valley League selection, and middle linebacker Paulo Villanueva.
In Veronneau's first season, the former Crosby High standout and offensive coordinator literally got the job a few weeks before the opening of preseason, but somehow caught his bearings to guide Watertown to a respectable 6-4 mark. A decisive loss to Torrington that year, though, made it disappointing.
Year two brought a smoother transition, bringing plenty of optimism and after a close season-opening loss at non-league state power Montville, a sense of hope.
But a roller-coaster 2-2 start through four games and a midseason drought — four straight losses — left the Indians in dire straits. But the Indians' come-from-behind 36-28 win over Seymour in Week 9 and then the climactic 18-13 Thanksgiving Day win over the Red Raiders allowed them to salvage the season..
Still, a 4-6 record and a 3-3 mark, tied with Derby for third place in the Brass Division behind Ansonia and Wolcott, didn't sit well with the returning players.
At last Saturday's preseason practice, the fourth day of the conditioning process, Veronneau cautioned his players to "not take a backward step."
Senior running back Rocco Guerrera understands his coach's tone and vows to help the team steadily progress to where they want to go.
"We are all focused and confident that we can have a very good season," said Guerrera. "We are motivated and last year's win on Thanksgiving was a good start. The overall season was disappointing, but the final two victories were satisfying. In the offseason workouts, we could all still feel the carry-over and energy from that win."
In some ways, the Indians are playing with a sense of urgency.
Volunteer assistant coach Jeremy Plourde, a former Indians' two-way starter and sophomore at Western Connecticut State University, said the determination he has seen from the players is based on the team's catch phrase, "Pride." T-shirts have been made up and the players are wearing them proudly.
The players are taking that to heart. So is Veronneau.
"I want the kids to take pride in everything that they do, from running drills to their weightlifting sessions to just everyday practice," said Veronneau. "Everything they do has to be done for a reason and with a purpose."
"Last year, we were focused more on defense," Veronneau said. "When we evaluated the season, we realized that we needed to get a more versatile offense, which we believe we did."
With the graduated loss of tailback Anthony Avoletta, who rushed for 1,159 yards and 11 TDs, including all three against Torrington last year, Guerrera and Dan Brodeur are going to need to pick up the slack, along with Biello.
"Andrew (Biello) has a really worked on his passing game and has increased his arm strength," said Veronneau. "Dan (Brodeur) can run on the edge well and Rocco (Guerrera) is a tough runner between the tackles."
Veronneau also has high hopes for the passing game with the emergence of basketball player turned football wide receiver Jonathan Mitchell. Mitchell helped the Indians boys basketball team to the 2012 Naugatuck Valley League title and to the Class M state championship game, where they lost to Waterford.
Mitchell's potential on the football field is untapped and likely will force opposing cornerbacks to closely monitor him, freeing up others, like Carlo Acompora and Seth McFadden.
Villanueva replaces Kalach at tight end. Kalach is moving to right tackle, adjacent to right offensive guard Josh Hailstones. Left guard Steve Rickevicious, along with Lombardi and Hailstones, form a potentially strong line.
"Kalach has made a real good transition to the line and is showing his unselfishness to do what is best for the team," said Veronneau. "His move is telling others what it means to be a really good teammate."

I'm just curious to know what you think makes you a great basketball player. What is your best attribute. Your speed? Your 3 pointer? Your Crossover? What makes you special? Lemme know!
My best skill in basketball is my crossover. My teammates call me pretzle because I cross them up like a pretzle, I even dropped a kid to the floor with my double crossover
For me the greatest strength is the upper body muscles. They make you look stylish and they help you too. I would work out if I were you!
Phoenix Suns Service
Definitely my size. If there's a rebound, I WILL get it.
Passing, yet I'm decent all around.
Crossover and driving inside. I made 3 people fall with my crossover and i love driving in through traffic and finishing in the air.
A great undying love for the game and a never ending drive to get better at what i love
I think my biggest strength is my smarts. I'm not the strongest or fastest, but i can outsmart my opponent to take it to the hoop.
I think my biggest strength is my crossover then drive to the hoop. ive even crossed someone up so bad they fell
My greatest strenght in basketball is my ability in jumpshot, I think this is my best power.
i am a deeeeep three point shooter people never guard me and i drop it all day
getting my teammates EASY buckets!
Definitely the fast break. I am a one man fast break. I averaged 20 ppg in my school season and about 10 or more of those points were on the fast break. It is great for comebacks and trying to get into a rhythm

There are many unqiue skills, which support your group in different ways, but they aren't that strong that its a must have to take them with you. Overall you won't have to take a special setup or class in your team to be viable just for one unique skill. You will just have to take a look to your whole team, creating synergies and things like roamer, supporter and damage dealer will be a must have. Not a certain class or skill.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- While the Raiders were clearing out of the locker room Sunday, Carson Palmer was at a hospital, getting checked out before boarding the team charter headed back to Oakland after a 17-6 loss to the Carolina Panthers at Bank of America Stadium.
After taking a helmet to the back by defensive end Greg Hardy in the first quarter, Palmer's status is unclear for the season finale against the San Diego Chargers. X-rays on his ribs were negative.
If Palmer can't play, coach Dennis Allen made it clear the quarterback will be Matt Leinart, who struggled against the Panthers, and not Terrelle Pryor, who took three snaps in a specialty role.
"Matt's our backup quarterback," Allen said. "Terrelle's done a nice job. He's working extremely hard. We don't feel like he's ready to be the backup quarterback yet."
For now, Allen said, Pryor is best utilized with specific plays that suit his skills, rather than as an every-down quarterback in charge of managing a game.
Leinart had been on the field only once this season, throwing a single incompletion in the waning moments of a 55-20 loss to the Baltimore Ravens on Nov. 11. He completed 16 of 32 passes for 115 yards and a costly interception to linebacker Luke Kuechly that set up Carolina's second touchdown.
It was Leinart's most extensive playing time since completing 21 of 31 passes for 220 yards on Nov. 29, 2009, for the Arizona Cardinals against the Tennessee Titans.
Leinart fared well on some quick-developing plays while hitting his first read but had trouble when those plays were taken away. Describing himself as "a little bit rusty," Leinart had his ball sail on some passes to the outside.
"I think I could have played better, definitely could have made more plays," Leinart said. "I thought we moved the ball pretty well. We just have to get touchdowns. But there were some throws I would like to have back."
Leinart said he spoke to Palmer briefly at halftime but wasn't sure as to the extent of his injury.
"I'm definitely going to prepare this week like I'm going to be starting," Leinart said.
Pryor, who has built a cult following of sorts on social media, played three times as a shotgun quarterback with Palmer and then Leinart split wide.
On the Raiders' second snap, Pryor threw a lateral to Palmer, who then threw a screen back to Pryor for a 22-yard gain. Later, Pryor gained 2 yards in a red zone run to the 4-yard line. On a third play, Palmer threw a 5-yard swing to Marcel Reece to the 3-yard line.
Pryor was uninterested in getting into a public debate about his playing time.
"I'm not the coach," Pryor said. "I definitely don't make decisions like that. I don't talk much, I just go out and do my job. Whatever God has for me, it's going to happen. If not, I'll be fine."

Knitter's Review
May 31, 2007
I was on my porch gathering materials for a colorwork class I'm taking with Lucy Neatby at the TNNA conference this weekend. I needed eight balls of yarn in the same weight, but in different colors.
Fortunately, I remembered the big box of yarns that Alice Starmore sent me last fall. I've coveted that box like family silver, but I decided if any yarn were worthy of a Lucy Neatby class, it was this yarn.
Here's my review of Alice Starmore's captivating Hebridean 3-Ply Yarn, pulled from the KR archives. It deserves one more parade across center stage this week.

After what was expected to be a low turnout, voters decided Saturday on LaToya Cantrell to succeed Stacy Head in the race for the New Orleans City Council District B seat.
Dana Kaplan faced LaToya Cantrell for Councilwoman-At-Large Stacy Head's former seat, which had been held by an interim council member.
Head had publicly endorsed Cantrell but did not do so until after the Nov. 6 election.
Kaplan, a juvenile justice organizer, was endorsed by New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu, Orleans Parish Sheriff Marlin Gusman and U.S. Rep. Cedric Richmond, D-New Orleans.

Writing Inspection Reports in the Past TenseApril 16th, 2010
Should inspectors write their report observations in the past tense?
I say, "Yes." It may help reduce your liability.
Isn't the report a document stating the condition of the property at the time of the inspection? Yes. Then why use the present tense?

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo (KKCO) KKOC wanted to know what are the steps to get a gun, and what are the laws in Colorado? Authorities say because we're an "open carry" state, the rules to buy a gun are pretty minimal. As a matter of fact, you can buy a gun here in Colorado a lot quicker than you might think.
Colorado is an "open carry" state. That means it's legal to openly carry a fire arm in public. In order to conceal a gun, you need a permit through the Sheriff's office. "What we do with it is fingerprint, we take a photo of you, we process your application with a training certificate you would get from a certified trainer here in the area," says Heather Benjamin, public information officer with the Mesa County Sheriff's Office. Your application then goes to the Colorado Bureau of Investigation for a background check. "It would include things like your criminal history, nationwide, things like that," adds Benjamin.
Background checks look into an applicants criminal past, and medical marijuana users aren't allowed to have a concealed weapons permit. The theater shooting suspect, James Holmes, bought some of his weapons at a retail store. He passed a background check to buy those weapons.
"For purchasing a firearm, there are two different age groups," says Lauren Truitt, Retail Events Coordinator with Cabela's in Grand Junction. Of course, you can also buy a gun from a retailer. "For a long gun, rifle, or shotgun, it's 18, and then for handguns, it's anyone 21 or older," says Truitt.
Retailers don't do the background checks themselves, they have customers fill out the forms and pass them along to authorities. "They do have to pass two different forms, one from the federal government, and one from here in Colorado," explains Truitt.
And it's up to those agencies whether a person can buy a gun. "Cabelas and most retail stores do not actually have any say one way or another if a person can actually buy a firearm."
You can also buy a gun online, but they won't sent it directly to your house. "Whoever you purchase that from will send it to a gun store, and then you have to do the paperwork to be able to purchase a firearm from the gun store. There's usually a small transfer fee, most gun stores are willing to do that, they just want to get you in the doors," says Linn Armstrong, a certified NRA instructor.
As soon as the background check is completed, the gun sale can go through, with no waiting period. "A person can fill the form out in that morning and leave that day, saying they got a yes on their background check," says Truitt.
A few places online you won't see guns for sale. On Craigslist, it is illegal to sell guns. It says it on their disclaimer. If you search guns on E-bay, you'll find out they only sell airsoft guns.
You do need to take a class to get your concealed weapons permit. The application is available on the Mesa County Sheriff's website. Police say it's important to know what concealed weapons laws are in other states if you're traveling with your gun. The are numerous resources online to research gun laws in each state.

Diabetes can harm the eyes. It can damage the small blood vessels in the retina, the back part of your eye. This condition is called diabetic retinopathy.
Diabetes also increases the chance of having glaucoma, cataracts, and other eye problems.
Retinopathy - diabetic; Photocoagulation - retina; Diabetic retinopathy
Diabetic retinopathy is caused by damage from diabetes to blood vessels of the retina. The retina is the layer of tissue at the back of the inner eye. It changes light and images that enter the eye into nerve signals, which are sent to the brain.
Diabetic retinopathy is a main cause of blindness in Americans 20 to 74 years old. People with type 1 or type 2 diabetes are at risk of this condition.
There are two stages of diabetic retinopathy:
The chance of getting retinopathy and having a more severe form is higher when:
Other eye problems that can develop in persons with diabetes include:
Most often, diabetic retinopathy has no symptoms until the damage to your eyes is severe.
Symptoms of diabetic retinopathy include:
Many people with early diabetic retinopathy have no symptoms before bleeding occurs in the eye. This is why everyone with diabetes should have regular eye exams.
Your eye doctor (ophthalmologist) will examine your eyes. You may first be asked to read an eye chart. Then you will receive eyedrops to widen the pupils of your eyes. Tests you may have involve:
Measuring the fluid pressure inside your eyes (tonometry)
Checking the structures inside your eyes (slit lamp exam)
Checking and photographing your retinas (fluorescein angiography)
If you have the early stage of diabetic retinopathy (nonproliferative), the eye doctor may see:
If you have advanced retinopathy (proliferative), the eye doctor may see:
Persons with early diabetic retinopathy may not need treatment. But they should be closely followed by an eye doctor who is trained to treat diabetic eye diseases.
Once your eye doctor notices new blood vessels growing in your retina (neovascularization) or you develop macular edema, treatment is usually needed.
Eye surgery is the main treatment for diabetic retinopathy.
Laser eye surgery creates small burns in the retina where there are abnormal blood vessels. This process is called photocoagulation. It is used to keep vessels from leaking or to shrink abnormal vessels.
Surgery called vitrectomy is used when there is bleeding (hemorrhage) into the eye. It may also be used to repair retinal detachment.
Medicines that are injected into the eyeball may help prevent abnormal blood vessels from growing.
Follow your eye doctor's advice on how to protect your vision. Have eye exams as often as recommended.

Prevent Blindness America | www.preventblindness.org
Managing your diabetes may help slow diabetic retinopathy and other eye problems. Control your blood sugar (glucose) level by:
Treatments can reduce vision loss. They do not cure diabetic retinopathy or reverse the changes that have already occurred.
Diabetic eye disease can lead to reduced vision and blindness.
Call for an appointment with an eye doctor (ophthalmologist) if you have diabetes and you have not seen an ophthalmologist in the past year.
Call your doctor if any of the following symptoms are new or are becoming worse:
Tight control of blood sugar, blood pressure, and cholesterol is very important for preventing diabetic retinopathy.
Do not smoke. If you need help quitting, ask your doctor or nurse.

In 2012 as part of the federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, Gifford Medical Center completed a Community Needs Assessment.
Less than two years later, the Randolph-based medical center has already made huge strides addressing many of the needs found in that study.
In a survey of Town Meeting attendees in nine communities in 2012 plus feedback from other groups, community members' described their priorities for a healthy community, perceived health problems and risky behaviors in the community, and their health needs or lacking services.
Among factors for a healthy community were good jobs and a healthy economy, access to health care, good schools, and healthy behaviors and lifestyles. Top health problems listed by survey respondents included addiction, obesity, and unhealthy lifestyle choices. Top health needs, or services community members have tried unsuccessfully to access, within the community were assisted living and nursing home care, alcohol and drug counseling, and dental care.
Today, Gifford is preparing to break ground in the spring on a senior living community in Randolph Center that will, over time, provide a full spectrum of housing options including the relocation of its award-winning nursing home and newly created assisted and independent living. Gifford has earned the coveted Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) designation, making it one of only three hospitals in the country to be both a Critical Access Hospital and an FQHC. This means expanded access to care, including dental and mental health care. And the medical center's Vermont Blueprint for Health Team has greatly expanded over the past year to include more mental health and addiction counselors, providing services at all Gifford primary care locations.
"Each of these major initiatives, which have taken substantial work, targets an identified community health need. Meeting these needs and addressing the community's feedback defines the future of Gifford and its expanding role," says Ashley Lincoln, director of development and public relations at Gifford.
The Community Needs Assessment process is required every three years, but Gifford's efforts are ongoing. The medical center continually provides community outreach initiatives to meet care needs, many of which are offered for free. These include classes, support groups, and health fairs. Additionally, many initiatives support local economic health, including a buy local approach.
The medical center also continues community outreach daily through a boots-on-the-ground approach that has Blueprint Community Health Team working directly with individuals and community organizations to address health and socioeconomic needs, particularly for the chronically ill.
"The Blueprint for Health is a statewide initiative. Gifford has placed extra focus on meeting community members' needs so they can successfully manage their health," says Blueprint Project Manager LaRae Francis. "This approach means not waiting months or years for needs to be determined, but matching resources and needs today to create an ongoing healthier community for all."
A grant from through the Vermont Department of Health helped support the costs of the 2012 report. The full report is available on Gifford's website in the "About Us" section under Community Reports.

I read a lot of stuff about the forced subs, subs priority, but nothing could help to solve this problem.
I'm using a Samsung TV with AllShare, witch is an amazing DLNA Tv, the best I've ever seen. It just don't need to transcode videos, what makes the best DLNA client in my opinion. PS3 Media Server just sends the file to the TV and opens on the highest quality, and more: WITH SUBS. External subs, actually, without being transcoded by Mencoder, that makes the videos heavier than heaven with MPEG-2.
Now, that's the problem: when I download a MKV or MP4 with embedded soft subs, the external subs does not work anymore. Neither the embedded subs. The {External Subs} at the end of file name is shown, but nothing happens.
I've already tried MKVTools or MP4Tools to remove the embedded subs of files, it works, but... you know, it's being a pain in the ass.
I would like to know what to do in such case.
I set forced subs to "br", and tags "forced". Named the file "FILE.br-forced.srt" or "FILE.br.srt" and the problem still happens. Subtitle language priority on Mencoder does not work, because Samsung AllShare skip transcoding. I would like to avoid transcode, it makes no sense when you doesn't need it.
Thanks, very much.

The Worst-Dressed Celebs of the Week
If your guy has a five o'clock shadow, then you know exactly what we're talking about here. And you're not alone. According to a survey Gillette did, two out of three women avoided kissing a guy when he had a beard.
Fix the sitch: Unless you can tell your guy to shave off his scruff, keep a product with you that helps calm the aftermath.
Next time: Throw an aloe-based face cream, like The Body Shop Aloe Soothing Night Cream, $20, thebodyshop-usa.com, into your bag and apply it before (if you can) and after you're done kissing. Not only will it give your skin a little lubrication so the scruff doesn't irritate it as much, it will also instantly help calm your skin post-kissing, reducing any redness.
Yes, there are worse things than your rouge hitting the road, but we totally understand that you want to look your best for him—especially if he's a new fling.
Fix the sitch: Pop some blush into your bag and reach for it when he's not looking or head to the bathroom to do a quick touch-up.
Next time: Apply a cheek stain instead of a powder or cream blush before you go over to his apartment. They're budge-proof, so you don't have to worry about your makeup fading. Try Benefit Cosmetics Posietint Poppy-Pink Tinted Lip & Cheek Stain, $29, benefitcosmetics.com, which is a universally flattering coral shade.
