Park Si Hoo's comeback drama LH ended. As Baek Shi Yoon, he fully made a display of his versatility as actor. I believe BSY was a good character for Park Si Hoo to start over and opened up new perspectives on his career so let's look forward to his next project.
Congratulations Park Si Hoo for your remarkable performance.

# 1550 revised and updated
I have to make a little correction. The last day of LH's filming was 18 March 2016 as OCN confirmed. Sihoorang referred to 10 March as the last day of outdoor filming when fans were allowed to watch Park Si Hoo at work, sorry for confusion.
"Love after Love" premiere was postponed again for April (or May?) without a concrete date, maybe because of their plan to release the movie simultaneously in Korea, China and Japan. At least the date of LAL premiere in Japan was fixed on 14 May 2016 and there, they already initiated advance
purchase tickets for it and some promotion activities. (credit psh4u.com, thanks!)

Some good and surprising news about Park Si Hoo's activity in Japan:
His drama 'Local Hero' will be broadcasted in Japan starting from 1st May 2016.
Park Si Hoo will have two concerts "PARK SIHOO LIVE 2016" in Tokyo, venue International Forum Hall A, on 7 May 2016, first at 2 pm and second at 6 pm JST. The hall has 5,012 seats and is one of the largest theaters in Japan. The tickets will be on sale on 25 April. I know nothing about the repertoire, only something vague that he will perform live songs from a new album that, I assume, has to be released before concerts.
Park Si Hoo reactivated his weibo account 'parksihoocn' and opened a wechat account 'ParkSihoo_kr'.
His Chinese fans must be thrilled.

… at least it was announced that LAL movie's release in SK and China was postponed again to July or August 2016. On the other hand, the Japanese efficiency is working and they are ready to celebrate 'Looking for your voice after love' (Jap. title) in their cinemas from 14 May 2016.

Tomorrow 7 May 2016, Park Si Hoo will have his first ever concert in Tokyo.
A singer or a model turned actor is quite usual in SK but an actor turned singer is extraordinary. What a big challenge to perform live in a large theatre a whole concert. I don't know if it will be a kind of "one man show" or something else but surely Park Si Hoo will be the protagonist singing, dancing and entertaining the public and I know he will have a great public; so many fans gathered will give him a big amount of warmth and together will enjoy happily the concert.
Park Si Hoo, may you have a wonderfully memorable experience with your first concert and to many more in future.

LAL premiere in Japan, scheduled in 14 May 2016, was posponed for a date that will be announced ulterior because of production and distribution rights issues. During 14 – 20 May 2016 the Japanese distributor will show in cinemas the movie "Scent" in place of LAL, with free entry for public. (credit: psh4u)

Park Si Hoo is the all time winner of popularity voting site http://www.123fans.cn for 'Japan and South Korea star' category.
Between 18 May 2013(stage no. 180) – 21 May 2016 (stage no. 337) he won 158 stages in a row (every stage is a weeklong and starts from 0 votes). In other words, he won continuously, week-by-week, 3 years.
This is a great record and shows that his status as Hallyu Star is stronger than ever. Congratulations Park Si Hoo!
Congratulations to Park Si Hoo's fans who vote him diligently on many popularity sites, knowing how important are these results for his career. Their constancy is truly impressive.
This is my last update regarding Park Si Hoo's activities and achievements.
He's doing well. He had two successful concerts in Tokyo in one day, singing live 12 songs in Japanese and Korean with a band, dancing like a pro and everybody noticed how much his voice and dance skills have improved. One of subjects from concert's talk segment was his movie LAL. Park Si Hoo said that he hopes the viewers will enjoy it as much as he did. Though it's a sad story it's not about regrets but mostly beautiful memories of first love and a lost love. The movie was shot in marvelous landscapes from Jeju Island and China. In addition, he thanked his Chinese fans for all the caring and support they gave him during filming. After concerts, he took a break to rest after months of intensive effort filming drama and then preparing the show.
I'm sure the movie will be released eventually, maybe the producers want to manage the premiere of LAL simultaneously in SK, China and Japan as they announced initially, but this isn't Park Si Hoo's concern.
It's time for me as well to end what I started three years ago from gratitude for the joy and happiness that Park Si Hoo always brings me and faithfulness in his comeback on screen. Park Si Hoo is an actor who can do everything, infinitely talented, a human being with bright personality, positive energy and charisma; also as one who ran three times Honolulu Marathon he has the endurance and firmness to get over the hardships which life could put in his way and face any challenges. It was an honor to know him better. What could I wish more to someone so God-gifted and admirably self-improving person and artist as he is? I wish him simply to be lucky.
Finally, I give a bow to Park Si Hoo's fans family. During the last three years, they all made the difference with their unconditional support and unselfish love towards him proven with countless facts.
Let's enjoy the present and embrace whatever will come with open hearts. The actor Park Si Hoo has so much to offer.
Thank you everyone!

The BBC's brainy new Sherlock upgrades Sherlock Holmes and his trusty sidekick Watson as technocultural sleuths swimming in hypertext and social networking. As evidenced in the exclusive behind-the-scenes videos above and below, it's a television revision of the crime-fighting pair that's perfectly built for a 21st century steeped in reboots.
The show's first season, which recently aired on PBS and can be viewed on the Masterpiece website through Dec. 7, stars Benedict Cumberbatch as the legendary sleuth and Martin Freeman (aka Peter Jackson's new Bilbo Baggins) as Watson.
Season 1 of Sherlock was released Tuesday on DVD, and Wired.com has two copies to give away. To enter, tell us in the comments below what Holmes-Watson pairing from TV or the movies is the best of all time and why.
Can Cumberbatch and Freeman outshine Jeremy Brett and Edward Hardwicke from The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes? Does anyone have the stones to argue that Sherlock doesn't match up to Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law from Guy Ritchie's heretical blockbuster Sherlock Holmes? Anything is possible, provided it is supported by Holmes' airtight logic and reason.
The two entrants who make the most elementarily convincing argument each score a copy of the Sherlock: Season One DVD. Entries must be received by 12:01 a.m. Pacific on Nov. 19, 2010.

Project Veritas Exposes DNC Staffer Offering Advice on Double Voting
posted at 5:16 pm on October 10, 2012 by Matt Vespa
In an email sent from Project Veritas today, they detailed how their "investigators went INSIDE Organizing for America headquarters in Houston and captured footage of paid campaign workers and other volunteers conspiring to commit election fraud in FIVE different states! This explosive new footage proves everything we've been saying all year long about the ease with which fraud can be committed – as well as the REAL reason the media is suppressing this scandal. Thanks to our fearless investigators, they can't hide the truth anymore."
This footage was recorded on September 7. Organizing for America is the community organizing arm for the Obama campaign through the Democratic National Committee.
Stephanie Caballero is the salaried regional field director caught on film detailing to the undercover how to cast a ballot twice for President Obama. The discussion to commit voter fraud apparently amused Caballero who said, "oh my God, this is so funny. It's cool though."
However, Jon Cassidy's October 1o column in Ohio Watchdog quoted J. Christian Adams, "a former Justice Department elections lawyer" saying, "you can't vote twice in a federal election…obviously, this Stephanie Caballero doesn't find it as offensive as I do that someone may be planning to vote twice. Specifically, Adams said, voting twice violates 42 U.S.C. 1973i (e), which states that anyone who "conspires with another individual for the purpose of encouraging his false registration to vote… shall be fined not more than $10,000 or imprisoned not more than five years."
Nevertheless, despite this video, some public officials still insist that voter fraud is a non-issue. Dustin Hurst, another contributor to Watchdog.org from Montana, wrote today that:
Montana Secretary of State Linda McCulloch, in a scathing editorial published Sept. 4 in The Missoulian, assured voters that shrieks of Treasure State voter fraud amount to crying "wolf."
"Those who use the same anecdotal stories while providing no facts or proof are no different than the little shepherd boy who cried 'wolf' when there was no wolf," McCulloch warned. "Eventually, no one paid any attention to his cries. I am confident Montana voters will do the same."
Though McCulloch provides an ironclad guarantee that voter fraud never occurs within state borders, a different election official on Tuesday told Watchdog.org that the fraud-by-absentee-ballot process demonstrated in O'Keefe's video is theoretically possible in Montana.
Still, liberals, on the whole, feel that voter fraud is a trivial issue or one that is driven by racial overtones.
UPDATE: Here's the Brooklyn, Florida, and Minnesota footage. My good friend and Resistance 44 colleague Erin Haust is featured in this video capturing the reactions from Obama staffers when she conveys her intention to commit voter fraud to help Obama.

Start-ups, start-ups, start-ups
One of the centerpiece's of this year's SXSWedu is the LAUNCHedu competition. Ten education start-ups pitched their products and services in front of judges and a live audience on Tuesday. The three winners moved onto the final showdown round on Wednesday.
Those winners are Admittedly, an online college advisory platform; Procorio, a remote proctoring service; and RobotsLAB, an interactive teaching aid that uses robots.
Learning giant Pearson also announced it's now accepting applications for the second cohort of its Catalyst For Education program. The start-up incubator's first class — ClassOwl, Spongelab, Actively Learn, Ace Learning and VLinks Media — graduated from the program in December.
Similarly, Instructure, the company behind the learning management system Canvas, announced it was awarding $50,000 in education grants "to spur technological innovation from within the education community."
Some of the winners include Virginia Stewart, who hopes to use problem-based learning and a cloud-based, open source ePortoflio as part of a core curriculum at Alamo Colleges; the University of Southern Indiana's Katherine Winsett, who has developed a new data collection and analytics tool; and Robin Bartoletti, who plans on creating a blended learning MOOC at Texas Woman's University that "can evangelize the maker movement."
DIY and the maker culture
Speaking of the maker movement, that creative, do-it-yourself approach to learning was a common theme at this year's SXSWedu.
"Making — messing around at the crossroads of science, technology, engineering, art and math — is a creative movement at the intersection of the physical and digital," is the way one panel discussion described this burgeoning movement on college campuses.
From 3D printing to independent publishing, there were no less than 16 presentations devoted to students learning through creation.

This is a discussion on 5.11 5 in 1 Jacket within the Related Gear & Equipment forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; Recently got a 5 in 1 jacket and love it. Its great for cool weather with just the inner fleece or for super cold weather ...
Recently got a 5 in 1 jacket and love it. Its great for cool weather with just the inner fleece or for super cold weather with the outer shell on top. It has a ton of pockets. I had heard people complain that it is bulky but I don't really think so at all.
I have a 5.11 shirt I got for $20 at a close out gunshop closing, a shell as good as the 5.11 shell bought at a GoodWill shop for $5, a fleece from 1980 when I was a ski bum. Total cost $25 bucks. Compare at $200 bucks for the integrated 5.11. If money is no object, I like it, because I try to emulate it at low cost. Those horizontal zippered shirtpockets on 5.11 shirts are da BOMB, lol.
I personally like my Carhartt winter coat. The road crews all over snowy America can't be wrong. Every road construction person I have ever seen in winter is wearing Carhartt.
"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain."
- Roy Batty
I got the black 5-in-1 jacket for Christmas and love it. It's expensive, but the versatility is amazing. Given the crazy weather we get here in VA, the ability to wear a vest, a fleece, a wind shell, a vest inside a wind shell, or a fleece inside a wind shell is great.
Plus, it comes with a great high-vis safety vest that is leaps and bounds better than the one I had previously stored with my vehicular emergency kit!
The OP has done a nice video product review.
We do happen to have quite a few LEO members here (active & retired) as well as many members in closely related occupations.
Try to keep the comments constructive and related to the product, the focus, and the purpose of the original post.

We were issued these at work and found the shell with liner too warm for Arizona winters. I don't like how high the badge sits above the pockets, it was not meant to be worn with sewn on patches but it is a good jacket.
"Words can be as lethal as bullets; Choose them carefully, Aim them well & Use them sparingly."
Thanks for the review of this. I saw this on the 5.11 website (or maybe a catalog?) and thought it would be a nice gift for my husband. I want to get him something practical, yet useful, while not dressing him in the rampant North Face and Columbia jackets that every other person here is wearing. I also don't want him to be categorized as a military or law enforcement "wannabe" (he's a network engineer, lol.) This looks like something casual for daily wear and rugged enough for hiking and camping.
Again, thanks for the detailed description. If you don't work for 5.11 or get a kick back from them, maybe you should! I think you sold me on this! I'm gonna go looking for the best price now.
Looks like a decent all around jacket.

Blue State or Red State, I'm betting you'll join me in the Happy Happy dance when Election-related robo-calls and ads on TV, radio, print, billboards and online are DONE and OVER. Did so much chatter about Moms, single and otherwise, leave you feeling a bit left out? "Ain't I a woman?" asked (NotMom) Sojourner Truth.
Unearthing stats on how women without children may affect the choice of America's next President can be a time-consuming task. Previous polls have declared an overall preference among women for Mr. Obama, but the devil's in the details. I finally found something useful in a piece by global trendcaster Joel Kotkin, whose study of the 2012 electorate concludes:
"A growing part of the Democratic base — aside from ethnic minorities — consists of white, childless couples and, in particular, single women."
11/7/12 UPDATE: President Obama has won a second term with support of 55% of all women voters; 67% of unmarried women.
Mr. Kotkin revealed that areas of the country with the fewest children were nearly 85% more likely to vote for Barack Obama in 2008 and will probably vote that way this year, too. Tracking NotMoms age 45 and under, the research shows the high highest percentage are in urban Democratic strongholds like Boston, San Francisco, Los Angeles, San Diego and New York. Childless women in those cities rank well above the national average of 53% with a minimum of 60%.
States with higher-than-average percentages include Massachusetts, New York, Rhode Island, Hawaii, Vermont and California. In the nation's capital, 80% of women under 45 have no kids. Well, D.C. always was a party town.
Do I believe that every American woman without children is voting for President Obama and Democratic candidates? No. "Everybody" never does what others in their peer group does, from African Americans to military veterans.
Moreover, in this election year especially, there's more to consider. If NotMoms vote Democratic, how to parse out votes made in reaction to perceived threats to legalized abortion or bizarre misstatements about the horrors of rape? "Binders full of women"?
Bottom line? From local courthouses to the White House, your vote matters. Vote for who you want, but please, VOTE.

AMD Catalyst 15.5 Beta Driver Improves Project Cars and Witcher 3 Performance
Subject: Graphics Cards | May 29, 2015 - 11:26 AM | Ryan Shrout
Tagged: catalyst, amd, 15.5 beta
Last night AMD released a new Catalyst driver, 15.5 Beta, that targets performance improvements in both Project Cars and The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. You can pick up the new driver for both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 right here. The full display driver version is 14.502.1014.1001.
The specific changes?
Highlights of AMD Catalyst™ 15.5 Beta Windows Driver
Crossfire Profile Update for:
- The Witcher 3 - Wild Hunt
Performance Improvements for the following :
- The Witcher 3 - Wild Hunt : Up to 10% performance increase on single GPU Radeon R9 and R7 Series graphics products
- Project Cars - Up to 17% performance increase on single GPU Radeon R9 and R7 Series graphics products
Users of the Radeon R9 295X2 will be glad to see support for their hardware added for The Witcher 3 and just about everyone will be glad to see some dramatic performance improvements in Project Cars and Witcher 3. We know from testing internally as well as widely reported issues that AMD Radeon graphics cards had issues with Project Cars, resulting in performance well behind comparable NVIDIA GeForce hardware. With as much as 17% improvement for Radeon R9 and R7 hardware though, hopefully that frame rate increases quite a bit.
We'll be doing some testing with this new driver here today, and if anything jumps out at us, we'll be sure to let you know!
Rumor: AMD To Name Upcoming Flagship Fiji GPU "Radeon Fury"
Subject: Graphics Cards | May 29, 2015 - 11:05 AM | Sebastian Peak
Tagged: rumors, radeon, hbm, graphics, gpu, Fury, Fiji, amd
Another rumor has emerged about an upcoming GPU from AMD, and this time it's a possible name for the HBM-powered Fiji card a lot of us have been speculating about.
The rumor from VideoCardz via Expreview (have to love the multiple layers of reporting here) states the the new card will be named Radeon Fury:
"Radeon Fury would be AMD's response to growing popularity of TITAN series. It is yet unclear how AMD is planning to adopt Fury naming schema. Are we going to see Fury XT or Fury PRO? Well, let's just wait and see. This rumor also means that Radeon R9 390X will be a direct rebrand of R9 290X with 8GB memory."
Of course this is completely unsubstantiated, and Fury is a branding scheme from the ATI days, but who knows? I can only hope that if true, AMD will adopt all caps: TITAN! FURY! Feel the excitement. What do you think of this possible name for the upcoming AMD flagship GPU?

Big Things, Small Packages
Sapphire isn't a brand we have covered in a while, so it is nice to see a new and interesting product drop on our door. Sapphire was a relative unknown until around the release of the Radeon 9700 Pro days. This was around the time when ATI decided that they did not want to be so vertically integrated, so allowed other companies to start buying their chips and making their own cards. This was done to provide a bit of stability for ATI pricing, as they didn't have to worry about a volatile component market that could cause their margins to plummet. By selling just the chips to partners, ATI could more adequately control margins on their own product while allowing their partners to make their own deals and component choices for the finished card.
ATI had very limited graphics card production of their own, so they often would farm out production to second sources. One of these sources ended up turning into Sapphire. When ATI finally allowed other partners to produce and brand their own ATI based products, Sapphire already had a leg up on the competition by being a large producer already of ATI products. They soon controlled a good portion of the marketplace by their contacts, pricing, and close relationship with ATI.
Since this time ATI has been bought up by AMD and they no longer produce any ATI branded cards. Going vertical when it come to producing their own chips and video cards was obviously a bad idea, we can look back at 3dfx and their attempt at vertical integration and how that ended for the company. AMD obviously produces an initial reference version of their cards and coolers, but allows their partners to sell the "sticker" version and then develop their own designs. This has worked very well for both NVIDIA and AMD, and it has allowed their partners to further differentiate their product from the competition.
Sapphire usually does a bang up job on packaging the graphics card. Oh look, a mousepad!
Sapphire is not as big of a player as they used to be, but they are still one of the primary partners of AMD. It would not surprise me in the least if they still produced the reference designs for AMD and then distributed those products to other partners. Sapphire is known for building a very good quality card and their cooling solutions have been well received as well. The company does have some stiff competition from the likes of Asus, MSI, and others for this particular market. Unlike those two particular companies, Sapphire obviously does not make any NVIDIA based boards. This has been a blessing and a curse, depending on what the cycle is looking like between AMD and NVIDIA and who has dominance in any particular marketplace.

Lenovo Tech World: Z41/Z51 and ideapad 100 announced
Subject: Mobile, Shows and Expos | May 27, 2015 - 12:27 AM | Ken Addison
Tagged: z51, z41, tech world, r9 m375, r9 m360, Lenovo, ideapad 100, amd
Today at their Tech World event in Beijing, Lenovo is taking the opportunity to announce some new mainstream notebook options.
First off, we have simply the Lenovo Z41 and Z51. The 14-inch Z41 and 15.6-inch Z51 aim to refresh the previous Z40 and Z50 with Broadwell CPUs as well as new AMD discrete GPU options.
Lenovo is using the Broadwell-U class of CPUs here as you would find in ultra books, so don't expect a CPU powerhouse, but for productivity style tasks these machines should hit the sweet spot of Price vs Performance with a starting price of $549 for the base Z51.
Paired with the new AMD R9-M360 (Z41) or M375 (Z51) these notebooks should also be able to play mainstream titles on the integrated 1080p display while coming in just over $800.
The Lenovo Z51 and Z41 are available on Lenovo's site now.
Lenovo also announced a low-cost entry into the ideapad line utilizing Intel's BayTrail-M processors. The ideapad 100 is available in both 14-inch and 15-inch variants and seems to be aimed at the low-cost Chromebook market.
Starting at $249, the ideapad 100 seems like it will be a good option for users looking for a secondary option for basic web browsing and office tasks.
Stay tuned for more from Lenovo's Tech World Event this week!

Leaked AMD Fiji Card Images Show Small Form Factor, Water Cooler Integration
Subject: Graphics Cards | May 22, 2015 - 09:39 AM | Ryan Shrout
Tagged: wce, radeon, Fiji, amd, 390x
UPDATE (5/22/15): Johan Andersson tweeted out this photo this morning, with the line: "This new island is one seriously impressive and sweet GPU. wow & thanks @AMDRadeon ! They will be put to good use :)" Looks like we can confirm that at least one of the parts AMD is releasing does have the design of the images we showed you before, though the water cooling implementation is missing or altered.
File this under "rumor" for sure, but a cool one none the less...
After yesterday's official tidbit of information surrounding AMD's upcoming flagship graphics card for enthusiasts and its use of HBM (high bandwidth memory), it appears we have another leak on our hands. The guys over at Chiphell have apparently acquired some stock footage of the new Fiji flagship card (whether or not it will be called the 390X has yet to be seen) and it looks...awesome.
In that post from yesterday I noted that with an HBM design AMD could in theory build an add-in card that is of a different form factor than anything we have previously seen for a high end part. Based on the image above, if this turns out to be the high end Fiji offering, it appears the PCB will indeed be quite small as it no longer requires memory surrounding the GPU itself. You can also see that it will in fact be water cooled though it looks like it has barb inlets rather than a pre-attached cooler in this image.
The second leaked image shows display outputs consisting of three full-size DisplayPort connections and a single HDMI port.
All of this could be faked of course, but if it is, the joker did a damn good job of compiling all the information into one design. If it's real, I think AMD might finally have a match for the look and styling of the high-end GeForce offerings.
What do you think: real or fake? Cool or meh? Let us know!
Just Arrived: MSI 990FXA-Gaming Motherboard
Subject: Motherboards | May 21, 2015 - 11:34 PM | Josh Walrath
Tagged: msi, amd, 990fx, FX-8370, FX-9590, sli, crossfire, SoundBlaster, killer nic, usb 3.1
Several weeks ago MSI officially announced the 990FXA-Gaming motherboard for the AM3+ market. The board is based on the tried and true 990FX and SB950 combo, but it adds a new wrinkle to the game: USB 3.1 support. MSI has released the other AMD based USB 3.1 board on the market, the 970 Krait.
Quite a few people were excited about this part, as the AM3+ market has been pretty stagnant as of late. This is not necessarily surprising considering that AMD has not launched a new AM3+ chip since Fall of 2014 with a couple of "efficiency" chips as well as the slightly faster FX-8370.
There was some speculation based on early photographs that the board could have a more robust power delivery system than previous AM3+ boards, but alas, that is not the case. Upon closer inspection it appears as though MSI has gone the 6+2 phase route. If there are good quality components in there, you can potentially run the 220 watt TDP FX-9000 series parts, but these puppies are not officially supported. In fact, I received an email saying that I might want to be really careful in my choice of CPUs as well as being extremely careful when overclocking.
The board still has some real potential at being a really nice home for the 125 watt TDP and below parts. The audio portion looks very well designed and features the SoundBlaster Cinema 2. It supports both SLI and CrossFire in native 2 x 16x (highly doubtful with 3 cards with the way the slots are configured). It has the Killer NIC ethernet suite which may or may not be a selling point, depending on who you ask.
Overall the board is an interesting addition to the club, but I really wouldn't trust it with the FX-9000 series chips. I have a 970 Gaming that came with the FX-9590 that had a similar power delivery system, and it ran like a champ; there is a possibility that the board will run this combination. This is going to be installed this weekend and I will start the benchmarking! Keep tuned!

Ryan wasn't the only one to test BenQ's XL2730Z 27-in 2560x1440 144 Hz FreeSync Monitor, The Tech Report also had a chance to test one, as well as talk to NVIDIA's Tom Petersen about their competing technology. They also had a chance to discuss FreeSync in general with AMD's David Glen who is one of the engineers behind FreeSync. Their benchmarks and overall impression of the displays capabilities and FreeSync in general are a major portion of the review but the discussion with the two company representatives makes for even more interesting reading.
"AMD's FreeSync is here, personified in BenQ's XL2730Z monitor. We've gone deep into the display's performance and smoothness, with direct comparisons to G-Sync using 240-fps video. Here's what we found."

What is dysgraphia? If your doctor has mentioned it, you're probably still wondering about it and want to find out more.
This learning disability has to do with the ability to write. It causes people to have difficulty recognizing and writing letters and numbers. They often have difficulty with sounds and with spoken words, too. Though many are of above average intelligence, dysgraphia can still be present in the relationship of words and writing.
I created http://www.dyslexiaconsultants.com/ to provide the best general information on dyslexia online. In order to support the website I am starting an online tutoring business for highly motivated dyslexic high school and college students, using an innovative new approach based on the latest research in neural science, which was presented at the International Dyslexia Association, New York City Branch, in 2006.
In order to get a better idea about the capability of the online tutoring service I am offering, please visit the fallowing website:
Demonstration Video
Please take a minute to view the video.
Please give me your feedback regarding the video and if you know any motivated dyslexic high school or college student's that could use my special assistance, please visit me at the fallowing website:
Information on how we can help.
Filling out the form on the right side of the webpage, below my picture entitles a student to a free one-hour diagnostic session.
Dysgraphia is a condition linked to dyslexia in that dyslexia is a subtype of this learning disability. Dysgraphia involves the difficulty of an individual to use fine motor skills. This may include muscle coordination, motor memory and even the movement that is used during the writing process. Because of this, it's believed that the areas of the brain that regulate language, visual elements, motor centers and perceptual centers all play a role in the condition.
Though there's no known cause present in all cases, some research suggests that the condition is hereditary. It may also come from brain injuries and strokes at any age. Some who have the condition also have some level of autism, though like dyslexia, the conditions are not always linked to dysgraphia.
Those who have dysgraphia often display some of the following symptoms:
Each child or adult who displays symptoms of dysgraphia is likely to have his or her own unique set of symptoms, which requires a unique treatment plan. Since most cases of this condition occur in children during schooling years, the most common treatment is through an IEP, or individual education program. This term may seem a bit daunting but it simply refers to the development of an education plan that meets the child's particular needs. It may include:
What is dysgraphia? In short, it's a challenge that even very intelligent children may need to face. Through careful diagnosis and a unique education plan, many students can overcome this condition.

Oops. Tiling issue around soaking tub surround.
So we took on remodeling the master bath in our house - it was builder quality tile which was 12 years old and chipped/cracking, along with the vanity and counter top.
Long story short, we gutted everything, pulled down the existing tile in the shower and on the tub surround and hung durock and started tiling again.
Obviously I should have measured things around and checked for how level things are because I got to the point where I'm at which is partially tiled the tub surround and its obviously not working out - the tub surround framing is not level at all (which I should have checked before tiling/durock).
In the photos below, the slope of the framing/tub goes up from left to right.
The right side is a good 11/16" higher than the right side. I removed the durock I had on the top of the tub surround for the photos.
Basically, how can I fix this without it looking awkward? If I just keep tiling the way it is now, the tile lines will look extremely slanted from the top of the tub surround.
Any suggestions? I've thought about ripping the tile off the surround and tiling from top down and just letting the floor eat up the mistake. This would be a lot of work since the tiles are already set so I likely will have to rip the entire panel of durock off and recut a new one, hang it, and start over.
Any other suggestions?
Photos attached.
thanks much.
if the deck is out of level that much then the tub is also from what i see. if it was in my house i would fix it, if you don't you will regret it every time you look at the tub from now on.
at least you didn't get it all tiled before noticing. is it possible that the floor is out a little also? maybe you could split the difference on that end.
I tile around tubs and shower floors which are out of level/uneven all the time.
One generally starts with a board or straightedge screwed on the wall to a level line. The highest point gets a full tile. The lower ones all get cut to fit. I'm talking about along the top edge of a tub now.
Next, along the ceiling, again if you can lay it out so it goes this way, the lowest point would get a full tile, and the the higher points (closer to the ceiling) would get cut to fit.
So if you are working with a 20" high wall around your tub, and 12" tile, then I would put a full tile in the middle, leaving 8" remaining, 4" on top and 4" on the bottom. I would cut the top and bottom row to fit.
If you frame the thing yourself and make it close to perfect, you may still have to play with your joints a bit to make it perfect, or cut some tile 1/8 or 1/16 longer or shorter.
So the solution is frame it perfectly, or lay the tile so it looks like it was framed perfectly. Hope that answers your question.
I'm having a hard time figuring out what you're doing there. Nothing looks right to me. I'd take the time to explain and post more pics regarding how you're installing the tiles. Are those tiles stuck? If so, why? Is that lumber I see on the deck or is it plywood? The framing needs to be fixed. What's your plan for the floor?

text: Latin American Coalition Charlotte's Latin American Community Anticipates Trump Presidency By Mark Rumsey • Dec 14, 2016 Latin American Coalition Listen Listening... / 7:06 Mark Rumsey interviews executive director Jose Hernandez-Paris of Charlotte's Latin American Coalition. In the days immediately following last month's election, many Latinos in the U.S. reacted strongly to Donald Trump's victory. Some called his election as president "sad" or even "a tragedy," and they expressed fear for themselves or their families in the future. Members of Charlotte's Latin American community have also been digesting Trump's win and wondering what the future holds under the next presidential administration. "I think there's a lot of uncertainty and a lot of fear in our community," says Jose Hernandez-Paris, who is executive director of Charlotte's Latin American Coalition. He says immigration issues are the top concern for Latinos as Trump prepares to take office. In NC, Citizenship Applications Spike As Election Nears By Michael Tomsic • Mar 30, 2016 Michael Tomsic Listen Listening... / 6:15 The number of immigrants becoming American citizens is on the rise. In Charlotte and across the country, applications for citizenship have spiked as the election approaches, according to federal data. That's not unusual in presidential election years. But in North Carolina, the increases are in fact the continuation of a trend that started five years ago. WFAE's Michael Tomsic explores what's driving more immigrants to become Americans. Obama Immigration Speech Met With Tears And Questions In Charlotte By Tom Bullock • Nov 21, 2014 Tom Bullock / WFAE News The crowd, at first, was eager. Members of Charlotte's Hispanic community gathered Thursday night to watch President Obama announce changes in the enforcement to America's immigration laws. As for the mood after the speech? That varied from person to person. To say the room at the Latin American Coalition was packed is an understatement. Around 75 people poured in. Those who could, sat in chairs, others stood where they could or sat on the floor near the screen where the president's speech would be projected. Group Readies For Arrival Of Unaccompanied Immigrant Children By Marshall Terry • Jul 23, 2014 Listen Listening... / 5:32 Since October, an estimated 57,000 unaccompanied minors have entered the country. The Border Patrol estimates that number could reach 90,000 by the end of September, although the number of daily arrivals is starting to slow. As debate continues in Washington over how to deal with this surge, the Latin American Coalition is busy making plans to help kids they expect to eventually end up in the Charlotte area. WFAE's Marshall Terry spoke to the Coalition's Armando Bellmas. Here's their conversation. N.C. Advocates, Business Leaders React To Immigration Proposal By Michael Tomsic • Apr 17, 2013 Michael Tomsic "A good first step." That's how some North Carolina immigration advocates and business leaders are describing the immigration overhaul filed in the U.S. Senate Wednesday. Listen Listening... / 2:25 Hundreds March In Charlotte For Immigration Reform By Michael Tomsic • Apr 11, 2013 Michael Tomsic Hundreds of people marched two miles through Charlotte Wednesday to voice their support for immigration reform. The Latin American Coalition helped organize and lead the march. Listen Listening... / 2:34 Charlotte Groups Team Up To Help Legal Immigrants Become Citizens By Michael Tomsic • Dec 10, 2012 Michael Tomsic About 100 immigrants in Charlotte took a big step toward becoming U.S. citizens Sunday. They're all legal residents. And as part of a national campaign, three local groups teamed up at UNC Charlotte to help them apply for citizenship. The main thing that's kept Hing Fu and his family from trying to become U.S. citizens is the cost. "We are below the poverty line at the moment," Fu said. He's a senior at UNC Charlotte. He and his mom emigrated from Hong Kong more than a decade ago, and his stepdad is from Mexico. Impact Of Latino Vote Spurs Optimism For Immigration Legislation By Michael Tomsic • Nov 8, 2012 Michael Tomsic In Charlotte, the Latin American Coalition is aiming to put its mark on the policies that follow the election. That's after Latino voters played a key role in reelecting President Obama, accounting for about one out of every 10 ballots cast nationwide and voting overwhelmingly for the president. Mary Espinosa is a U.S. citizen, but some of her family members are not. That was the biggest thing on the 18-year-old's mind as she walked into the polls this year to vote for the first time.

Take Two #85: No Broken People
By Kyra-lin Hom
Hello again, everyone. I apologize for my absence last week. The cough I had been holding off for several days made a final charge to devastating effect. I was rendered rather witless without warning and was thus unable to complete my column. I am feeling much better this week. Despite my latest laser tattoo removal session frying the skin off my wrist, I'm doing quite solid. I'm able to eat again (and keep it down), the world is golden.
A further bright point is that my boyfriend is finally back in town. He was gone for a week working on a film set and then for another two weeks before that volunteering on a youth mission trip in Idaho. He came back bearing some great stories – both good and bad – and a few souvenirs for me. One of these is the devotional handbook (or 'devo') that was used by the organization overseeing the youth mission trip.
For those who are unfamiliar, youth trips and events are often organized by a third party. There is one central location, a daily schedule and a standardized event curriculum. In this way, several youth groups from across a relatively wide geographic region can gather together with little fuss. The downside is that the individual youth groups (and affiliated churches) do not have input as to what is on those said lesson plans. The results, as in the case of this particular mission trip, can be quite... radical.
Having heard stories about the event and the arguably harmful use of this devo, I did my best to read it myself without bias. I read it without context and tried to imagine I was once again a something-teen struggling with the spiritual turbulence that comes with growing up. Boy do I have firsthand experience with that.
I'm pretty sure I've mentioned this story before. I was in my early to mid-teens when I attended a huge northwest youth event called "Acquire the Fire." To the best of my memory, it was a two-day stadium event complete with sermons, multi-part plays (yes, some embarrassingly cheesy), testimonies and even Christian pop and rock bands. This was really the event that solidified my faith. I had been struggling hardcore with issues of right and wrong, sin and savior – duh, I was a teenager. Conflict, angst and drama are just a part of the hormone-happy package.
There was one segment in particular, a theatrical group prayer, that struck straight home for me. Blame it on the number of people, the light effects, the sound system, what have you, but that moment really touched me. For some reason, I realized in that moment that I was all right. That God loved me for better or for worse and no one could change that. I was, for that solid moment, a part of something much greater than myself. I was also incredibly lucky to have a capable youth leader who didn't pressure me into believing anything more thorough than that one truth I had found. Regardless of your spiritual and belief status, you can appreciate a mentor giving you the freedom to make up your own mind.
So with my mind cranked back those (yikes!) ten years, I read this hand out. The theme is something most teens can relate to in some way or another, feeling broken. The devo is entirely about feeling battered, lost, unwanted, torn apart, confused – all of those negative emotions that can unrelentingly and sometimes seemingly without motive crash down on a teen's head. Yes, many of the questions were more leading than discussion prompting, but overall I didn't find anything overtly wrong with the devo. I did, however, find one giant hole. From the manual, it can be inferred that this state of feeling broken is equivalent to being broken. It sounds like this is what the youth mission leaders did. I couldn't disagree more.
Everyone at some point or another in their life feels broken. That doesn't mean that they are. My revelation came when I realized just how broken I wasn't. Sure, my life and I have ups and downs but that doesn't change my essential nature. Telling people they are broken and flawed without God is a scare tactic that just plain doesn't make sense. The very phrase "without God" is a logical paradox regardless of what you believe. It annoys the *bleep* out of me that supposed mentors would be telling already confused and emotional teens that their worst fears of worthlessness are true unless they accept Jesus as their savior. According to Christian doctrine, Jesus is their savior whether they want him or not. Deal with it.
Feeling whole and secure is what religion helped me recover, but this is not an experience reserved solely for the religious. Nor should it be. One of my favorite quotes about religion actually comes from Joss Whedon's character Shepherd Book in the movie Serenity: "When I talk about belief, why do you always assume I'm talking about God?"
