An Approach for Applying Cultural Study Theory to Technical Writing Research
When the idea of culture is expanded to include institutional relationships extending beyond the walls of one organization, technical writing researchers can address relationships between our power/knowledge system and multiculturalism, postmodernism, gender, conflict, and ethics within professional communication. This article contrasts ideas of culture in social constructionist and cultural study research designs, addressing how each type of design impacts issues that can be analyzed in research studies. Implications for objectivity and validity in speculative cultural study research are also explored. Finally, since articulation of a coherent theoretical foundation is crucial to limiting a cultural study, this article suggests how technical writing can be constituted as an object of study according to five (of many possible) poststructural concepts: the object of inquiry as discursive, the object as practice within a cultural context, the object as practice within a historical context, the object as ordered by language, and the object in relationship with the one who studies it.

Australasian Online Documentation Conference
Since the very first Australasian Online Documentation Conference in Melbourne in 1998, the conference has developed a reputation as the premier event for technical writers, help developers, Web authors and documentation developers from Australia and New Zealand. Our speaker list reads like a Who's Who of documentation, as we strive to ensure that experts in techniques and technologies are available to share their knowledge and expertise. The conference is also a great place to network with other documentation professionals.
Academic writing in American institutions is filled with rules that writers often don't know how to follow. A working knowledge of these rules, however, is critically important; inadvertent mistakes can lead to charges of plagiarism, or the unacknowledged use of somebody else's words or ideas. While other cultures may not insist so heavily on documenting sources, American institutions do. A charge of plagiarism can have severe consequences, including expulsion from the university. This handout, which does not reflect any official university policy, is designed to help writers develop strategies for knowing how to avoid accidental plagiarism.

Bloom's Taxonomy in Technical Content Development
Technical writers provide information enabling users to learn and apply various technologies. In the endeavor to enable users, technical writers often need to use different strategies of classification, presentation, and structuring for the different types of information. However, in most cases such classifications or decisions about the best method of presentation and optimum structure are guided by instinct and are rarely heuristic. In this article, we present an established classification of information called Bloom's taxonomy (of educational objectives), which can help technical writers make decisions about content classification.

Bridging the Gap Between Industry and Academe
Using their own mentor-mentee relationship as a pilot project, the authors planned and implemented a successful mentoring program pairing professionals in the Orlando Chapter with graduating seniors in the technical communication program at the University of Central Florida. This paper (and presentation) provides a detailed description of the planning and execution of the new program, along with feedback from participants at the end of the first year, and an update on the program midway through its second year. It also provides a glimpse into the special trust that can grow between mentor and mentee--and the mutual personal and professional growth that can result from such a relationship. In addition, the session includes a turnkey package (both hard-copy and electronic) of administrative forms and materials that can readily be adapted to implement a mentoring program within another STC chapter or organization. The package is also available from either presenter or from the Orlando Chapter Education Committee.

Building Consortia in Scientific and Technical Communication
When many of us began to establish our programs in Scientific and Technical Communication our main concerns were establishing a balance between technology and communication, establishing internships, and getting acceptance in whatever department in the university we happened to be part of. While those concerns still remain, we are faced with new, additional issues, as well as new problems associated with the older, but still present issues, in establishing and maintaining programs. This paper will note some of those issues and will make some suggestions for helping to approach them. I will not presume to have solutions, just ideas about which we can talk to perhaps help focus some discussion leading to some solutions. Rather than focus on each specific problem, I want to focus on a specific approach to new programs which, I think, might be a way to approach many of the problems and challenges we face in a global, electronic environment. The approach to a solution, which I'm proposing is developing 'joint ventures' or 'Consortia.' I'll herein explain my definition of joint venture or consortia programs.

Recipe: Mom's Tuna Salad
A classic taste of my childhood, I love making this easy and cheap dish for myself. The recipe is based on something my mom often used to make for me when I was a kid. For her, it was a last minute pleaser that required little prep and minimal cleaning up. I always saw it as a special treat though, and from time to time I find I still crave for it. My version's slightly different than the way Mom would make it, but I think it yields essentially the same level of yumminess at very little cost. Continue reading

The sort of vegetarianism applied in this recipes comes more from me being a lazy cheapskate than from any ethical or health-related concerns. The aim (which I think I achieved) was maximum flavour through minimum effort. That said, the dish is meat free and features a few superfood ingredients which are very nutritious. Continue reading

Recipe: Michel Roux Jr's Crushed Garlicky Rooster Potatoes in Their Skin
With only these six ingredients (okay, eight if you count the salt and pepper) and just a handful of basic steps to follow, I found this recipe offered especially tasty value for minimal effort. Not much clean up afterward either. As the name implies, this dish is a garlic lover's treat. I reckon you could tone down the amount of garlic suggested and still be happy with the results. An additional splash or two of the pastis wouldn't be such a bad idea. Continue reading

A new series of seminars called the "Road to Homeownership" are being offered to those curious about the housing market. The Homeownership Resource Center (HRC), a division of Family Services (FSI), will be hosting the workshops, further serving the Tri-county area. The workshops are sponsored and facilitated by Complete Action Real Estate Services. (CARES).
In an effort to further assist those unsure of homeownership, the seminars will focus on the advantages and disadvantages in owning a home, so that the consumer may make a sound and informed decision.
"These seminars reflect the time and dedication of CARES, setting it apart from all other real estate companies," Deborah Jones, CARES Broker in Charge, said. "We care about educating the potential buyer about the homeownership process and what to expect in this real estate market."
The first seminar in the Road to Homeownership Series was held on Feb. 9. Part two and three of the series will be held on Thursdays, Feb. 21 and 28 from 6:30 - 8 p.m. All classes will be held at 4925 Lacross Road, Suite 105, North Charleston.
Several topics will be examined in these brief, informative seminars offered by CARES. Visit the real estate's website at www.CARESRealEstate.com.
The workshops are free, but space is limited. Please register online at the Homeownership Resource Center website at www.fsisc.org by clicking on the calendar. Or call 843-735-7862.

Gotta say we all slept worse on the return trip back to Hanoi. It seemed like the driver managed to jolt the train at every opportunity but that's just my thought.
Arrived at 0430 hours in darkness & although we had the opportunity to accept a taxi we just kept walking back to our hotel, heck even I could recognise the …
Shopping & Food in Hanoi
... t have tried on our own and introduced us to foods we hadn't tried yet, the most unusual ones being sandworms with pork (all minced up) and fried into a pattie and to finish we had some desserts similar to ice kachang and sticky black rice pudding with yoghurt and then egg coffee which we had seen on menus but not game to try. Nathan took us to a cafe that was hidden away a bit but apparently is quite famous as they are the ones who came up with egg coffee. It's ...
Day 29
... reason we were on a road with loads of cafes but the Vietnamese take the cafe concept very seriously and literally - they serve no food whatsoever! Then Kaivan figured out that he would have to wait one day till he got his flight and we decided to stay the night in hanoi. Tired and hungry, we made our way to our hotel (which we still had not booked) in the old quarter of hanoi. So our first impression was not great of hanoi, but as we made our way into the old quarter, it ...

With a thick egg cream on top and coffee underneath, it is sweet and delicious and I think best eaten ...
The end of Vietnam
... more wasn't made of this section. And when we found it, I was quite disappointed, but not exactly surprised. It started off with loads of photos, many of which were very indistinct, and could have been of anything. Then some exhibits, such as a movie camera made in Hanoi in the 1960's, and a diesel engine produced in North Vietnam ,but without any relevance. And the rifle barrel which belonged to someone.

Europe's leading temporary building specialists, CopriSystems supplies superb turnkey industrial structures – a quick, effective and economic method of enclosing a manufacturing, sports, storage or handling operation.
Our standard product range includes commercial canopies and tunnels. Mounted to existing structures or freestanding, the choice is yours. We also provide domes & rigid-clad buildings for use as permanent or temporary warehouses.
CopriSystems domes are suitable for just about any sport you can think of. The buildings provide a dry & well-lit area throughout the year, ideal for tennis and badminton. They can also accommodate any type of court construction – including clay, carpet, grass and hard courts.
A temporary building or a more permanent structure, our canopies and domes, offer a simple cost-effective storage solution. As well as portable modular buildings and steel framed structures that offer complete weather protection and fire resistance.
Proven for over two decades, our structures may be temporary, but they are durable and designed to last.
The strength of the construction materials reflects our ambition to provide additional square footage, without sacrificing durability.
Frees up valuable internal spaces, allowing you to utilise your existing premises to the maximum
Our pre-fabricated buildings can be up and running within a matter of weeks.
With minimal footings and planning requirements, we can respond quickly and efficiently to your requirements.
Low impact on the environment, with specialist lighting and heating
For anyone who is looking for an affordable and reliable semi-permanent or temporary building, customised to individual specifications.
Over 20 years of consultancy experience, helping individuals and organisations to evolve.
Temporary industrial storage can be a great investment because it can change alongside your business and ensure you have the space you need at any given time. Domes and portable modular buildings are excellent in this regard and offer a range of advantages over permanent structures. They are cost effective and can be adapted whenever necessary, meaning you never need to deal with too much or too little space.
CopriSystems' technical expertise, design flexibility, manufacturing excellence and responsive service have made it a leader in its field, with few other companies in Europe offering such a wide range of services.
All our buildings are designed with your specific use in mind.
Our commitment to quality includes the construction and erection processes.
"The build was self contained, I like that because we didn't have to worry about it. It was delivered within 4 and bit weeks, and it saved our bacon during a very challenging time, because we had a bigger peak than we anticipated. I can't praise Copri enough."
"Having the canopy from CopriSystems has doubled the space we have for sorting our goods in and out. It has helped us to streamline the process and now the workflow is much more fluent inbound and outbound."

Monoprice 8320 IEM
"I got some of these based on their crazy-good reputation. Even for the $6 I paid I feel ripped off. Worst pair I can remember. What in the world is everyone talking about? These are so gaudy looking, and feel cheaply put together. I could overlook those things if they sounded like everyone says. But they don't. I can't remember disliking the sound quality of an IEM this much. These are just..." --SethDove

"When i bough these i had no id'ea how they would sound.

Monoprice 109927 Enhanced Bass Hi-Fi Noise Isolating Earphones, Black
"I purchased these a long time ago after reading reviews that these were a good budget option in the earphone category. To save time, i am just going to jump in to the sound quality section..

TDK Life On Record MT300 High Definition In Ear Headphones
"These IEMs received quite a hype in the forum, with lots of Canadian head-fiers saying wonders about them for the price. As I found these on ebay for 12 euros (10 dollars more or lesss), I gave them a try. The first reaction was the fit. It is just perfect for my ears. I believe it is due to the angled nozzle. They hold in incredibly well and are among the most comfortable IEMs I've..." --Mellowship

Music is something that has been stuck in my ear since I was a baby. Dad was a rockstar and loved classic rock. Mom loves R&B and the Motown classics. My musical interests span both and then some, which means, my kid's interests are even more expansive and I'm cool with that.
My kids are Super Hero Girls
Coaching like pops did
There are all types of coaches and I as I coach two softball teams this year, I think about the "coaching" my Dad gave my brother and I growing up. He was never a big athlete, but he was athletic. We dragged him all over the place to play baseball, basketball and football. As a coach, I've taken some of the things I learned from those days and put them to work with my teams. Thanks pops.
My Boston Marathon story
Running sucks, but I'm inspired to walk
Running is hard. It sucks. I'm not good at it. When I try to do it, I hate it more. I know there are a number of benefits to it, but it still doesn't make it any easier. Recently, I found a much better reason for giving this running thing a go, which makes all the sense in the world. I run so I can walk.
At what age should kids go to wakes and funerals?
At what age is it appropriate to bring your kids to a wake and/or funeral? It's a situation that all parents have to go through at some point, because like the sunrise and sunsets, wakes and funerals come as often as you get older. We can't avoid them unfortunately and we can't shelter our kids from them until their adult years. It's virtually impossible.
Things needed to be invented to help dads
Four years later, here comes the sun
Today will be four years since my father passed away unexpectedly. While the pain is not as fresh as it was the evening it happened, deep scars still remain. The scars are healing, but of course, they will forever be present. Good news is that the sun is coming up. Things are looking up, and bright.
12 years can go by so quickly
To the kid who asked my daughter for her telephone number
My oldest will be 12 this week. Dating is right around the corner and it makes my stomach curl. This is a note to the first kid who asked for my oldest's number and to every single punk that crawls around looking to court my baby girl. It's going to be easy pal. Here's a few tips so you don't F it up.

Acadia tourism video posted at www.tourlouisiana.com
By Paul Kedinger
Members of the Acadia Parish Tourist Commission learned Thursday morning that the parish's tourism video is now posted for visitors on the Internet at www.tourlouisiana.com.
Executive Director Gwen Hanks reported the posting will be free until June, when she intends to pay for the continued presence of the travel video on the website, which features accommodations, events, maps, attractions and local dining based on regions identified as Cajun Country, Crossroads, Greater New Orleans, Sports Paradise, as well as listing of cities by regions.
In addition to tourists viewing the video produced by the Tourist Commission, Hanks said she will be able to post an event calendar for Acadia Parish.
Hanks also obtained Commission approval to cancel a contract with the Louisiana Travel Promotion Association (LTPA) for distribution of the Commission's promotional brochures at state visitor's centers. After not renewing the contrat in June, Hanks said she would use the hand-delivery services of another agency.
Hanks told commissioners that she would continue LTPA membership.
Hanks also reported that the Acadia Parish Police Jury will act on the appointment of Charlotte Miller, poerator of La Maison Pointe aux Loups Bed and Breakfast and La Maison Gifts as a two-year member at large during its business meeting Tuesday night. Miller will replace Fran Bihm on the Comission. Bihm expressed her appreciation to the members for her experience and the commissioners in turn thanked Bihm for her service to the Commission.
Commissioner Paul Broussard reported members will hold a meeting with representatives of the Rice Research Center next to discuss Commissioners plans to erect a convention center on an adjoining seven acre re parcel of land.

Banana Pecan Bread by Tyler Florence
Total Time
Prep 20 mins
Cook 1 hr 15 mins
I saw this on Food Network today and it looks awesome! Two of the bananas are creamed and two are mashed chunky and folded in to give some texture. For an even greater treat, toast the slices of banana bread and dust with confectioners' sugar just before serving.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 4 overripe bananas
- 1 cup sugar
- 3⁄4 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1⁄2 cup pecans, finely chopped
- confectioners' sugar, for dusting
- Preheat oven to 350° and lightly grease a 9 by 5-inch loaf pan.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt and set aside.
- Mash 2 of the bananas with a fork in a small bowl so they still have a bit of texture and set aside.
- With an electric mixer fitted with a wire whisk, whip the remaining bananas and sugar together for 3 minutes to make a light and fluffy banana cream.
- Add the melted butter, eggs and vanilla and beat well.
- Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
- Mix in the dry ingredients just until incorporated - no need to overly blend.
- Fold in the nuts and the mashed bananas with a rubber spatula.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
- Give the pan a good rap on the counter to get any air bubbles out.
- Bake for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
- Rotate the pan periodically to ensure even browning.
- Cool the bread in the pan for 10 minutes and then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Dramatic scenes unfolded on a small island off the south coast of Norway on Saturday evening when Jesus the billy goat got gruff with a mother and her child.
The terrified holidaymakers sought shelter in a tree while the father of the family called the police.
Arriving on the island in the Søgne region, officers quickly found that the horny 80-kilo creature was in no mood to be grilled by the law, news website fvn.no reports.
"It charged straight at a constable, leading to what can only be described as a fight between the two. It was really angry," police officer Børge Steinsland told fvn.no.
When Jesus refused to relent, the officers had little choice but to whip out the weapon nearest at hand, Steinsland said.
"They were quite simply forced to use pepper spray to drive the wild animal away."
The animal's owner, Tor Brede Launes, conceded that the attacks on police and civilians spelled the end for the five-year old goat.
"Clearly he can't behave like this. He'll probably be replaced by Midsummer," he said, adding that Jesus was destined for the barbecue.
"Goat's meat is delicious," he told fvn.no.
But if he wants to eat Jesus, he's going to have to find him first; the goat went underground after the police's island raid at Fugløya.
Tor Brede Launes first tried whistling, before attempting to lure the goat with grain. Then he took his boat out to scan the periphery of the island, but the beast with the biblical name remains at large.
"It does feel a bit unusual to take the boat around the islands calling out for Jesus," he said.

Panettiere and her Darth Vader-worthy entourage soon disappeared, but it was a fitting start to the day. NYC ComicCon, which ran Friday through Sunday, might not be as massive or iconic as its famed San Diego counterpart, but it was certainly a spectacular event. Celebrity appearances ran the gamut from Stephen King to Stephen Colbert; mascots in Pikachu costumes bumped elbows with Star Wars fans dressed as Boba Fett; and posters for the Kevin Smith movie Clerks 2 were displayed side by side with Superman memorabilia.
The ComicCon was less a geek fest than a pop culture overload, with the cumulative forces of comic books, television, movies, video games and art all thrown together inside the massive glass walls of the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in midtown Manhattan.
And that was what I, as a comics convention neophyte, found most surprising. Yes, plenty of aspects of NYC ComicCon fit right into my preconceived image of such an event: hordes of people, many in costumes, lined up for autographs with luminaries like Stan Lee, perusing stacks of vintage comics and brand-new graphic novels, or checking out the latest Japanese manga titles.
Yet I was struck by how many of the booths were stocked with merchandise and memorabilia that didn't seem to have a whole lot to do with comics in the traditional sense. There were trading cards for TV shows like Lost and Veronica Mars; figurines of horror movie villains from A Nightmare on Elm Street and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre; and test runs of the new massive multiplayer online role-playing game Pirates of the Burning Sea.
And unlike the American International Toy Fair, which had taken over the Javits Center several weeks earlier, NYC ComicCon did not shy away from video games. Visitors could play anything from Karaoke Revolution: American Idol to Guitar Hero II to the latest Pokemon titles for Nintendo's DS console.
In short, at NYC ComicCon, the definition of "comics" seemed a bit liberal.
"I would define comics as just words and pictures together," said Austin English, an employee and artist at the pop-culture outlet Giant Robot, one of many exhibitors that strayed quite a bit from the comics-convention archetype.
Words and pictures, however, didn't really come close to describing it. Giant Robot, which was founded in 1994 as an Asian pop-culture zine, has since expanded to a full-out magazine, an online store, and art galleries in Los Angeles, San Francisco and New York. Its NYC ComicCon booth was stocked with colorful toys, stuffed Uglydolls (a big hit), and back issues of Giant Robot magazine.
