I've researched countless adventure trips in Latin America, and selected 10 of the best, from kayaking in Mexico to extreme mountain biking in Bolivia, to illustrate how Latin America has an adventure for every traveler.
Located in remote northern Patagonia near the border of Argentina, the Futaleufu River boasts some of the best waters in the world for white-water rafting. Its Class III, IV and V rapids provide a wild ride for rafters as they wind through temperate rainforest and glacier-capped mountains. While the Futaleufu draws many experienced rafters, adventurous beginners can also enjoy a rafting trip. But, as Mitch Sasser, co-founder and expedition leader of H2O Patagonia notes, "Futaleufu is not a river for the faint of heart. You need to have a 'go get it' attitude."
"[The Futaleufu is] a large-volume river with Grand Canyon-size waves and obstacles, but pitched into a much smaller and steeper river canyon," says Sasser. "The water of the Futaleufu is a translucent turquoise blue that will blow you away ... Expect to be pounded with enormous amounts of whitewater, paddle blind into the next wave and come out loving it (hopefully inside the raft)." Most trips hit the Bridge-to-Bridge section of the river for Class III and Class IV-plus rapids.
Seven-night trips with H2O Patagonia start at $3,800 per person.

Ousted Miller gets new Washington Township position
The Washington Township Board of Supervisors on Wednesday approved a tentative 2014 budget that would not require a tax increase.
That was one of the few actions that didn't spark groans, jeers or protests from residents at the meeting – including one query about a rumored investigation by the state Ethics Commission.
The contentious meeting was littered with criticisms fielded exclusively by Supervisor Arnie Dull and Solicitor Don McCue. Emotions climaxed when the board appointed outgoing Supervisor Jamie Miller to the township Municipal Authority Board.
After accepting letters of interest from Miller and three other candidates, Dull and Miller voted to approve the appointment. Supervisor Chuck Yusko abstained from voting. The action prompted accusations — and loud booing.
"I think she's appropriate. I think she belongs there," Dull said. "That's my opinion."
After the meeting, Miller said voting on her own appointment was legal, based McCue's advice. Dull added that Miller "has put her heart and soul into this township."
"I have no other motive than I like the community and to give our residents the best water and sewage rates they can get," said Miller, addressing accusations that she had in the past entertained a plan to sell authority assets.
Miller, who lost a re-election bid in the May primary, will replace Gary Verkleeren on the authority board. Verkleeren recently resigned.
Dan Moody, who will join the board of supervisors in January, voiced concern that the authority is heavy with township officials or employees: Yusko, Miller, code enforcement officer Timothy Naulty and township engineer Dave Samek.
Julius Petrosky is the other member.
Dull denied a resident's assertion that the township is trying to "take over the authority" and confirmed the board did not interview the three unsuccessful candidates listed on the agenda: Ken Klancher, Daniel Reppert and Brook Gardner.
"So it's just a coincidence that's there's four township officials on (the authority)?" Moody said.
"Absolutely," Dull said.
"So you interviewed no other candidates?" Moody asked.
"That's right," Dull said. "I'm satisfied with the one I made. ... I think she has a good knowledge of everything that's going on in the township."
Moody asked McCue, "Would you find that as a typical practice, that if you get a list of candidates, that you don't interview any of them?"
"I'm not going to answer any hypotheticals," McCue replied.
"Is there any truth to the rumors that the township is being investigated by the ethics commission?" Klanchar asked later.
"No comment," McCue asserted.
"OK, thanks Don," said Klanchar, drawing laughter from the audience.
Miller and Dull later denied any knowledge of an investigation.
Resident Jaynee King, one of the most vocal residents, called Miller's appointment "nepotism."
"I don't agree that everybody in this township has to be either a supervisor or friend of a supervisor to sit on a board," King said.
"You need new faces in these positions. You need new people and new ideas. And maybe if we did, we wouldn't be the butt of all the jokes in the Mon Valley."
In other action, the board passed a tentative 2014 budget with revenue and expenditures estimated at $1,197,440. The budget will be posted for public viewing at the township office.
Dull noted after the meeting it's the sixth year without a tax increase since he and Miller were elected to the board. Yusko abstained from that vote.
"I want to get a hold of the figures until the end of the year, and I may open this budget up next year," Yusko said.
Dull said Light Up Night will be 6 p.m. Nov. 22 at the fire hall.

comfy jacket
this jacket is beautiful, well made, just a little distressed, colour wise. Love it that you can make it fitted or loose and it is so soft and comfy you can live in it.
Beautiful yet rugged
This jacket is a beautiful mix of ruggedness and luxury. Fur collar is so pretty and soft. I love the fact that it can be fitted or boxy depending on the drawstring. The picture looks brown but it is definitely more army green. I am normally a size 10 and the M fit perfectly. The sleeves are plenty long, even in a medium. The lining is a quilted flannel and it's as a comfy, warm and soft inside as your favorite bathrobe.

Uncle of Mottrom Dulany Ball
Fairfax, Virginia
Wiiliam Dulany's sister was Mary L. Dulany Ball, who married Spencer Mottram Ball (1801-1859). Mary and Spencer had a son, Mottrom Dulany Ball (1835 - 1837), who was the law partner of William H. Dulany. William wrote a letter to the Secretary of the Treasury seeking to get Mottrom a desk job, as Mottrom's family were refugees and he needed to care for them. This didn't come through and Mott Ball remained with his regiment and fought throughout the war.

A Resignation Letter of Disgust
Mar 1, 2010 at 1:21 PM
A Captain Matthew P. Hoh of the U.S. Marine Corps resigned from his foreign service in Afghanistan last year after finally realizing that the "strategy" in Afghanistan wasn't really a strategy at all. He criticized:
- A President whose confidants and chief advisers comprise drug lords and war crimes villains, who mock our own rule of law and counternarcotics efforts
- A system of provincial and district leaders constituted of local power brokers, opportunists and strongmen allied to the United States solely for, and limited by, the value of our USAID and CERP contracts and whose own political and economic interests stand nothing to gain from any positive or genuine attempts at reconciliation
You can find the full resignation letter here.
Thanks to Edward Furst for citing this piece in an essay he wrote.

Scuba Diving Questions
View Single Post
Junior Member
Join Date: Jan 2006
Posts: 10
P.S. Get the most experience you can in all types of diving conditions. Personally, I don't try to dive while on a cruise. There is simply to much stuff to carry while on a cruise. Snorkeling is not bad and you can get away and do some fun stuff away from the crowds. I use cruising for other types of adventure. As Jason said, cruise passengers get the really raw end of the deal. Not all dive sites will treat you this way but it is a good general rule of thumb. Once you have been on a few cattle boats you understand the beauty of a private charter.
What ever you do not try to rush it. Take your time and learn from every dive trip. (Even the cattle boats). Every dive is an opportunity to learn something new. Learn as much as you can, take specialty courses, and most importantly get cross trained by different agency's. This exposes you to different thoughts, techniques, and ways of doing things.
Unfortunately, you are the one reading this and not your husband. Like I said before most beginner divers think they know it all and don't take advise from old conservative divers well.

December 6th 2014: Chairman of The American Ireland Fund, John Fitzpatrick, presenting a bottle of The Wild Geese Irish Whiskey Limited Edition to businessman and former Irish international soccer star, Niall Quinn. The presentation took place at the Ireland Fund of Great Britain Winter Ball in London's Landmark Hotel, where Niall was an honouree. Addressing the large crowd, MC for the Winter Ball, Sky News's Dermot Murnaghan, thanked Chairman of The Wild Geese Company, André Levy, for generously supporting this year's event.
As sponsors of The Wild Geese Irish Whiskey Enterprise Awards we celebrated Irish fortitude and the extraordinary hard work of entrepreneurs in Donegal who are forging their own paths in business.
Despite tough economic times, hundreds of independent business have been set up with the help of the Back To Work Enterprise Scheme, from the Donegal Local Development Company. At The Wild Geese Irish Whiskey Enterprise Awards we celebrated 12 of this unique businesses and awarded four entrepreneurs with prizes to help grow their companies.
Each candidate reminded us of Patrick Sarsfield and his followers, who left Ireland in 1691. They showed great courage and determination and worked hard to be successful abroad in their host communities. However, they kept Ireland in their hearts and took the name 'The Wild Geese' in the hope and belief that they would one day return home.
Today, honouring ambitious and hard working individuals continues The Wild Geese story which is now synonymous with Irish fortitude. All of the candidates continue to show the same great courage and determination displayed by The Wild Geese in 1691.
The Wild Geese Irish Whiskey Enterprise Award winners
Iain Miller – Unique Ascent Outdoor Adventure Company
Approved under the Back To Work Enterprise Allowance scheme in 2011, the last three years have been busy for Iain, a qualified mountain instructor. He has created ten part-time jobs and has plans to create up to twenty jobs, taking people to explore donegal's most beautiful, remote and wild places. He has developed the 'Donegal Climbing App' and 17 online guides.
Iain thanked the DLDC and The Wild Geese for the recognition adding, 'Without the support of the Back To Work Scheme I would never have been able to become self employed in the services I provide in this current climate. In the past year I have taken over 150 national and international to a shade over 100 summits'

John Paul Boyle and Kevin Boyle – uPilot Teoranta: Flight Simulator
Rural Donegal is not where you expect to find a company making flight simulators using cutting-edge technology, but that's exactly what John Paul and Kevin are doing. At the moment they're developing a Boeing 727-800 series simulator. They've won a six-month contract for a simulator at Dublin Airport, and hope that trial will secure a three year deal.

Diarmaid Whoriskey – Rathmore Mechanical Services
Diarmaid and his business partner TJ set up under the Back To Work scheme after being made redundant in 2009. They offer heating, plumbing, ventilation, air-conditioning and ironworks services and they've been busy, despite the recession, employing between six and twelve people. Diarmaid has secured major contracts throughout Ireland. Las month they secured their biggest contract so far.
Diarmaid said:
'On behalf of Rathmore Mechanical Services Ltd we would like to thank The Wild Geese Irish Whiskey for sponsoring the enterprise awards 2014 in conjunction with Donegal Local development Company. It was an honour to receive both these awards which recognise small local businesses in the current climate'
Iain, John Paul, Kevin and Diarmaid will go through to the regional awards in Cavan in June and each received €500 to help grow their business.
But the calibre of each of the candidates was extremely high and to honour this we created a fourth award for Outstanding Achievement, presented to Diane Harvey from D's School of Motoring and Training.
Diane set up her business under the Back To Work Enterprise Allowance Scheme in 2010 and offers a wide range of training for customers, from those preparing for the 'Theory Test' to those with disabilities such as brain injury and now the jeep and trailer lessons. She has a commitment to road safety and has helped organise a number of safety awareness events. For the past two years she has won the 'National Road Safety Authority (NRA) Leading Lights Award' for approved driving instructors.
*The products comprised in The Wild Geese Collection of Premium Spirits are sold under The Wild Geese Soldiers & Heroes in North America and worldwide under The Wild Geese
Our Chairman, Mr Andre Levy, sat on the adjudication committee to select the winners of this year's The Wild Geese Irish Whiskey Enterprise Awards, which celebrate entrepreneurs in the Donegal area who are forging their own paths in business.
Twelve businesses have been shortlisted for the awards which are for small enterprises set up under the Back To Work Enterprise Allowance Scheme run by Donegal Local Development Company (DLDC). Three winners will be presented with awards, £500 to help grow their businesses and will go through to the regional awards in Cavan in June.
On the adjudication committee were Mr Andre Levy; Jim Slevin, Chairperson of the DLDC; Mark Murray and Mary McHugh from the Department of Social Protection. Mr Levy said:
'There are some remarkable individuals involved who've already had significant success and in some cases have already won awards for their business.
'We all know that the business environment has been very challenging in recent years and I'm delighted The Wild Geese company is able to help celebrate this level of achievement in Donegal'

Last weekend was a big one for the Irish. Ireland's big win of the RBS Six Nations tournament kick-started the St Patrick's Day celebrations!
But this was a hard fought victory. Ireland headed into their final game needing a win against France. Only a win would ensure the team was clutching the trophy come St Patrick's Day.
After a strong performance from France in the first quarter, Ireland fought back to crush this early lead. Jonathan Sexton scored two tries and the team continued to fight off a French retaliation. In the end Ireland secured their second Six Nations victory, beating France 22-20!
This was Brian O'Driscoll's last international game, and what a fairytale ending for him.
'It is great to finish my career on a high,' O'Driscoll said. 'When I do hang this jersey up on the hook inside it will be with fond memories'.
'The emotions are starting to kick in now. It feels great to be a two-time Six Nations winner'.
In 2009 Brian O'Driscoll captained Ireland to win the Six Nations and a second victory is long deserved.
'It's a wonderful feeling. I've played a long time for Ireland and to only have won one Six Nations championship would have been disappointing so I'm really delighted for this group of players, for how talented they are, how hard they worked'.
Now is the time that the emotions will flow. The team was welcomed back to a huge crowd in Dublin, with the win marking one of the best starts to St Patrick's Day in recent years. For the Ireland team and many of the fans, the victory will be bittersweet following O'Driscoll's retirement from international games.
The Tipperary is the oldest Irish pub in London. Steeped in Irish heritage, it has been a haven for Wild Geese for hundreds of years and a remarkable taste of home. And now we've flocked behind the bar! Yes, The Wild Geese Irish Whiskey* is now served in London's oldest Irish pub, just in time for St Patrick's Day!
The Tipperary was first built in 1300, on the side of a monastery where the monks brewed ale.
In 1605 it was transformed into 'The Boar's Head'. It's stood the test of time, surviving the Great Fire of London having been built of stone and brick, rather then wood.
It came under Irish ownership in around 1700, becoming the first Irish pub outside of Ireland. It was fitted out in traditional Irish style, including a clock by Thomas Tompion.
Following the First World War, the printers returning from the war had the pub named 'The Tipperary', inspired by the war song, 'It's A Long Way', and the name remains today.
Today The Tipperary is run by Steve Rowlands, who has a huge passion for fine spirits. The interior retains the original Irish character and behind the bar now sits The Wild Geese Irish Whiskey Collection. It's a great place to enjoy The Wild Geese this St Patrick's Day!
** Outside North America The Wild Geese Soldiers & Heroes Irish Whiskey Collection is sold under the 'brand name' of 'The Wild Geese Irish Whiskey Collection'
To celebrate St Patrick's Day we've met some of today's Wild Geese, who have reflected on what it means to be Irish abroad.
In 1691 Patrick Sarsfield and his followers left Ireland. They took the name 'The Wild Geese' in the hope and belief that they would one day return. Although many did not see Ireland again, they kept Ireland in their hearts while they achieved extraordinary feats in their host communities.
This story continues today with Wild Geese still making valuable contributions while living and working away from Ireland. Full of ambition and determination, their Untamed Irish spirit shine through.
Meet some today's Wild Geese in London! Cormac Redmond, Ian McKeown, Vashit Curran and Mick Kelly who work at the famous Waxy O'Connor's and Karen Houlihan and Robert Murray from the stylish Bentley Oyster Bar & Grill, who were good enough to share their own stories with us.

In 1787, reflecting on his travels in North America, George Grieve noted:
'On more than one imminent occasion, Congress owed their existence, and America possibly her preservation, to the fidelity and firmness of the Irish'
The Irish were already prominent members of American communities by the time the American Revolution started. Sympathising with the plight that America faced, many Irish soldiers flocked to the support of George Washington and his commanders and joined the fight for freedom.
These Wild Geese quickly became the largest immigrant group in the Continental Army. It is thought that they made up one quarter of the fighting force. France sent support as the revolution intensified and the first troops it sent were the regiments Dillon, Walsh and Roche of the Irish Brigade. Irish soldiers were a familiar yet formidable force on the battlefields, and played their parts in forming the new nation of America. As George Grieve noted their contributions were many and they pursued the path to freedom with courage and determination.
The Marquis de Lafayette noted this contribution in 1779, saying:
'May the kingdom of Ireland merit a stripe in the American Standard'
But toward the end of 1779, the soldiers fighting in the revolutionary war faced the bleakest winter yet. General George Washington set up camp in Morristown, New Jersey. Snowstorms were commonplace and in this harsh climate the Continental Army was hungry and cold. Morale was low.
After months of these conditions, General Washington recognised that his troops needed to rest and it was important to reinvigorate moral. The key to this was St. Patrick's Day.
Many of the soldiers in the camp were Irish or held Irish ancestry, with the regiments from Pennsylvania and Maryland thought to be nearly half Irish. Seven of the eleven brigades were commanded by generals either born in Ireland or with Irish ancestry. So it seemed appropriate to celebrate St Patrick's Day.
Washington declared the 17th March 1780 as an r&r day for the camp, awarding the holiday 'as an act of solidarity with the Irish in their fight for independence'.
Today it is thought there are over 50 million people of Irish ancestry in the USA and St Patrick's Day is celebrated throughout the country.
Ireland are rocketing into their next 6 Nations Rugby match with two wins behind them. The team's performances in the annual championship have been exemplary, and it seems like the perfect tournament for Brian O'Driscoll to retire to.
The 'Leinster leviathan's' departure from the game is already being felt throughout the rugby world. He's often referred to as one of the greatest players ever and has displayed the strong Irish heart of the Wild Geese. His determination on and off the field has shone through.
O'Driscoll will be hoping to capitalise on the 28-6 win against Scotland and the 26-3 win against Wales, to hit a hat-trick of wins against England this weekend, where he will draw with Australia's George Gregan for the most caps in the game (139).
Although his career glistens with achievements, it is his character and commitment to his team that will be remembered. Camaraderie has also been an important trait to Wild Geese from which strong leaders have emerged. Like Patrick Sarsfield, O'Driscoll has lead his troops abroad.
'I believe that any team taking the field with Brian involved always fell they have a chance of winning,' explains Ireland's captain Paul O'Connell. 'You see that confidence now spread across the provinces'.
O'Connell has been celebrating the transformation Brian O'Driscoll has brought to the game by spreading 'confidence across the whole set-up'.
'He's the complete player. You have to defend as well as you attack, to be an elite member of the team off the pitch as well as on it. Many of those who come through now are in the mould of brian, in terms of the way he has carried himself. They have modelled themselves on him'

- Large Entry Porch
- Mudroom
- Unfinished Basement
This home is a slightly modified version of our popular Field of Dreams plan. The original home is featured in the highly acclaimed book, "Creating The Not So Big House." Like the original, this house looks like it belonged to the land in its agrarian past. Its form revives the simplicity and good proportions of classic farmhouses seen across the farmland of the Midwest.
The detached 2–car garage from the original has been attached to the house where the entry had originally been located, and the mudroom is now conveniently located between the garage and the kitchen. It has also been enlarged and reconfigured. The main entry is off the large porch next to the screened porch. Once inside the foyer, there is a living room to the right with a central fireplace that is wrapped on three sides by built–in bookshelves. The fireplace is strictly optional, and without it the living room becomes substantially larger. The wall and cabinetry separating the living room and dining room are also optional, if you prefer a more open floor plan. Oversized double hung windows flood the interior with sunlight. The library is now bigger than the original, and has a closet added. The kitchen is a good size, with a pantry and a large center island, and it is open to the dining area.
Upstairs, there are 2 bedrooms that share a full bath, a laundry room that was located in the basement of the original, and a master bedroom suite. Unlike the original version, the master bath is enlarged, and opens into the spacious walk–in closet for easy access.
Please Note
The length of the library is measured to the closets – if measured to the doors the room is 15'3".

A POPULAR library is celebrating its golden anniversary.
Kent Elms Library, in Eastwood, is celebrating 50 years of serving the community, with a party this Saturday.
When the library opened in Rayleigh Road for the first time on July 13, 1964, visitors only expected to borrow books from the new branch.
Like all libraries in Southend, Kent Elms now lends DVDs, CDs and e-books and visitors are as likely to be using the computers or attending rhyme time sessions for children, as picking up reading material.
Manager Suzannah Scott, who has worked at the library since 2001, said: "It's amazing it is still here. It really is the hub of the community.
"Things have changed a lot over 50 years with the events we run and the type of stock we have. It's amazing the support the library has in the community."
The branch is Southend's best value, costing just 98p to issue each item, and had the second greatest rise in visits, with the number of people through the door up 12.7 per cent between 2008/09 and 2010/11, the last year for which figures are available.
The Friends of Kent Elms Library successfully saw off a move by Southend Council to remove paid librarians and hand the branch over to volunteers to run as a community library last year, with campaigners arguing the library was the only community facility in the area.
Former Southend mayor Reg Copley was secretary of Eastwood Residents' Association as it successfully campaigned for a library in the Fifties.
Mr Copley, 86, of Orchard Grove, who has presented a cake to the branch to celebrate the milestone, said: "Living nearby, as I still do, I watched the building grow day by day. Then, on July 13, 1964, the then mayor of Southend, Alderman Everard Ernest Morris, officially declared Kent Elms Library open.
"I was privileged to be at the opening ceremony as a recently elected Southend councillor.
"I now feel it is again a privilege to attend Kent Elm's 50th anniversary to pay tribute to those local residents who campaigned tirelessly for Eastwood to have its own branch library."
Reg added: "The fight continues to keep the Kent Elms Library open to effectively serve the community and local schools."
Cake and party food will be available to visitors from 11am on Saturday.

The Virtual Keypad is an online keyboard, used with the help of your mouse, which allows you to enter your password instead of using the regular keyboard.
A virtual keypad prevents your password from being hacked, especially while using public computers such as those available in cybercafés. It protects you against malicious key logger programmes which can capture the keystrokes you enter in the physical keyboard to login.
Virtual keypad is an optional feature. You can use the normal keyboard to enter your password.
If you do not wish to use Virtual Keypad, check the box 'I would like to ByPass Virtual Keypad' before entering the password.
However, for a safe internet banking experience, SBM strongly recommends that you use the virtual keypad so as to protect your password from malicious key logger programmes.
Never disclose your User ID and password to anyone. Choose a password that you can easily remember but hard-to-guess. Use a combination of alphanumeric characters consisting of letters (upper and lower case), numbers and special characters (@, !, ~, etc) when choosing a password. The password for SBMNET should be a unique one and not used for accessing other websites.
Once you are logged in, SBM Internet Banking will not prompt you to re-enter your password details.

Some large grid connected wind turbines use a low-speed synchronous generator, directly coupled to the turbine, and a fully rated converter to transform power from the turbine to mains electricity. The condition monitoring and diagnosis of mechanical and electrical faults in such a machine are considered, bearing in mind that it has a slow variable speed and is subject to the stochastic, aerodynamic effects of the wind. The application of wavelet transforms is investigated in the light of the disadvantages of spectral analysis in processing signals subject to such stochastic effects. The technique can be used to monitor generator electrical and drive train mechanical faults. It is validated experimentally on a wind turbine condition monitoring test rig using a three-phase, permanent-magnet, slow-speed, synchronous generator, driven by a motor controlled by a model representing the aerodynamic forces from a wind turbine. The possibility of detecting mechanical and electrical faults in wind turbines by electrical signal and particularly power analysis is heralded.

The Importance of a Solid High School Resume
Resume. That one word likely conjures up thoughts of job hunts after college. Back way up and think college hunt. Putting together an actual resume as early in high school as possible will ultimately save time and help promote the college bound student. LEAP's Resume Workshop actively engages students in not only formatting their resumes, but first drives home the importance of each piece on the resume: academic profile and awards, in-school activities, out of school activities, volunteerism, work and more. By putting together the resume and revisiting it often – LEAP suggests at the end of each major grading … Continue reading

PEOPLE in Staplegrove and Kingston St Mary can get the latest updates on proposals for 1,500 homes on farmland between the villages.
They will be able to view and make comments on the masterplan at a public consultation at Taunton Vale Sports Club from 2.30pm to 7.30pm on Thursday, May 15.
The 100-acre site is being promoted by PM Asset Management on behalf of the landowners, as reported in the County Gazette last summer.
The development, which could be completed by 2028 if permission is granted, would include open market family homes, affordable houses and even self-build properties.
There would also be a primary school, playing pitches, woods, public open spaces and a local centre.
PM Asset Management has already held three events to inform the public of its intentions, but several householders have expressed fears that the scheme would ruin their scenic views and create traffic chaos.
The company has yet to submit a planning application.

Introduction Edit
Why switch from foreign to world language? Edit
In this website we will refer to what was commonly refer to Foreign Language as World Language. Foreign Language is a commonly recognized title for our subject area, but it has always been problematic. Foreign has a connotation of "alien". The switch to "world" emphasizes that languages connect us rather than keep us separated, that languages help us understand the world and participate in multilingual communities. Many people use within the US use in their home or community the languages that are being taught in our schools, so there is nothing foreign about it. At the beginning of the third millennium, we want to emphasize helping students make other languages their own.
Technology is a tool Edit
Sometimes the technology resources that world language teachers have at their disposal seems more like a magic carpet or a magic wand, capable of transforming teaching and curriculum in ways that would have unimaginable a decade ago. But technology is just a tool: the skilled teacher, like the skilled craftsman, matches the tool to the task in order to accomplish an important purpose. At the same time as we consider our own uses of technology, we need to focus on our students and their need to use technology effectively. Technology, especially the Internet, can provide access to authentic sources of language that are simply unavailable any other way. When we integrate technology meaningfully, we are supporting them in the development of two essential tools for lifelong learning: skill in the use of another language and the ability to make discerning and effective use of technological tools.
10 reasons for using technology in World Language Teaching Edit
10 important reasons to teachers to include various aspects of technology in Foreign Language teaching:
1- Students are generally technology –literate and have become accustomed to using computers, videos, and other technology- based means of acquiring information.
2- Students learn at different rates and have different learning styles. The use of technology helps teachers reach all students in different ways.
3-technology helps to relate the curriculum to life outside the classroom.
4-technology helps to involve students in worthwhile, interactional activities, such as interpersonal exchanges, information gathering, and problem-solving projects.
5- technology helps students to be active participants in the Information Age
6-Using different aspects of technology helps motivate students to learn.
7- technology adds many dimensions of foreign language learning, particularly with the use of multimedia programs.
8-technology helps to make the study of foreign languages very practical and significant in children's lives. If students can communicate readily through e-mail with children in a foreign country, it is unlikely that the teacher will hear them say "but I will never have a chance to really use….(any language)"
9- Students have the opportunity to work collaborative manner.
10-technology gives students opportunities to use their productive and receptive abilities for real purposes, such as publishing a newsletter or writing interactive journals.
When is it effective to use technology in the World Language classroom Edit
World Language teacher should opt to use technology when it:
Is appropriate for the lesson
Is age-appropriate
Builds students' World Language learning
Provides authentic aspects of culture
Demonstrate authentic cultural realia and documents
Motivates students
Is consistent with national World Language Standards
Offers a better format of instruction
Gives students opportunities to interact with each other and the program.
Gives the teacher a chance to observe students' reactions and performance.
Appeals to different students' learning styles and intelligences.
Is user-friendly for the teacher and the students.

Standards for Foreign Language Learning Edit
Standards for Foreign Language Learning
Extracted from ACTFL website
Communication: Communicate in Languages Other Than English Edit
Cultures: Gain Knowledge and Understanding of Other Cultures Edit
Connections: Connect with Other Disciplines and Acquire Information Edit
Comparisons: Develop Insight into the Nature of Language and Culture Edit
Communities: Participate in Multilingual Communities at Home & Around the World Edit
Since their publication, national and state standards have had a powerful impact on the teaching profession, creating a new vision for learning languages. The major shift is to look at language learning not as an abstract study of vocabulary, grammar and linguistics, but as a useful tool to meet the demands of contemporary life. Standards give us the purposes for learning languages and direct our teaching toward those purposes. The standards show that communication has natural connections to cultural awareness and understanding, other academic disciplines, and the world in which we live. And technology is a powerful tool towards meeting those standards.
National Educational Technology Standards for teachers and students Edit
These standards can help teachers to plan technology components for their lessons to give students experiences with language and cultures that would be unavailable in any other way. As students become more proficient with the technology tools at their disposal, they can be more independent language learners, pursue their own interests and needs using the target language, and develop skills that will be useful in all dimensions of their education. Technology can bring the cultures, connections, and comparisons goals to life, even as they allow students to use their communication skills to participate in a wider community of speakers of the language as they are learning.

Effective Uses and Examples Edit
Depending on the ages, language experience of the students and technology resources of the school, many of the following possibilities can enhance learning in a thematic unit:
- Create a menu using a word processing program.
- Create a greeting card in the target language using clipart with a cultural element.
- Students use scanned or digital photos to design a poster with which to introduce themselves to the class.
- Create a story, an episode from a story, or a poem to illustrate with clip art. All projects are printed and compiled into a class book.
- Develop a book report by creating a book jacket that includes a front cover designed to reflect the content, flaps to summarize the story, and information about the author on the back cover.
- Create a class newspaper or newsletter.
- Create a brochure about a city or a country in which the target language is spoken. Information can come from research from the Internet, and be enhanced with images downloaded from the Web.
- Create an advertisement for a culturally significant product, using scanned or clip-art images to illustrate the text.
- Develop a "picture dictionary" of words (or phrases) in the target language, using clip art or scanned images to illustrate meanings rather than translations into English.
- After researching a famous person from the target language, using a variety of resources, create a poster or a "Who am I?" poster for other students to guess.
- Use interactive story books in CD-ROMs, other CDs give students vocabulary practice or listening.
- Students create a PowerPoint or HyperStudio presentation about themselves or any other topic, using learned vocabulary and following a format provided by the teacher. The students illustrate the presentation with scanned photos and clipart.
Using technology to enhance teacher productivity Edit
- Create their own roll/record/plan books according to teachers' needs.
- Create visuals for games and flashcards with clipart.
- Include authentic pictures in visuals and materials. It is a great way to provide authentic culture in games, books and so forth.
- Produce e-newsletters to parents.
- Create e-games, many games can easily be converted into an electronic format by using links in PowerPoint. This allows students to take turns as they usually do but also manipulate the mouse and click (students NETS)
- Matching games, multiple choice games, jeopardy-type games, and question-and-answer games can all be done with PowerPoint slides and links.
Using the resources of the Internet Edit
The Internet has expanded the resources available to language teachers and learners to an almost incredible degree. Teachers and students alike can access information about countries where the target language is spoken and learn from and about the people who speak the language. Internet technology gives immediacy and context to World language Learning. The thoughtful applications of Internet technology to world language instruction can be beneficial in many ways:
Opportunities for interaction Edit
Basic uses such as e-mail exchanges and web logging, as well as more sophisticated applications such as videoconferencing, can provide students with extended, in-depth interactions with native speakers of the languages there are learning. Internet provides the opportunity for authentic communication. Having a relationship from person from Argentina is different than just learning from a book.
Language Learning in Context Edit
Access to a multitude of World Language websites, ranging from news to entertainment and culture, gives students a close look at the "real world" applications of the language they are learning. Rather than simply following exercises in a book that may have been published many years ago, students are learning the language in a landscape of up-to-date events and cultural happenings, for example: students can compare front-page headlines in newspapers in US with the ones in Spain, or even tv commercials on can drinks from different part of the world (just to add variety).
Increasing student interest Edit
It is a very good way to captivate students' interest. Students are able to search for information and pursue their own individual interests and hobbies by finding target-material online.

Electronic Mail: Key Pals Edit
Electronic mail is perhaps the most accessible of all Internet tools. Electronic pen pals, or key pals, can provide a motivating and effective opportunity for students to interact with native speakers or other learners of the target language. A key pals project gives meaningful experience with written communication in the interpersonal mode for learner who already have language skills, keyboard skills, and sufficient computer experience. There are also important personal benefits, especially for the middle school student. E-mail offers the possibility to tell someone their own age in another land about themselves, to ask questions. Any key pals project requires careful preparation and organization. The first step is finding a partner class in which the students are approximately the same age, at the same level of language study, and about the same number of students. The language teacher should work carefully with the partner teacher to make sure that they have agreed upon:
1. who writes to whom
2. content of the letters
3. Corrections- how many?
4. number of letters
5. time line
6. evaluation
7. use of other media
8. what teachers want to achieve by the end of the process
The next step is preparing the students. The teacher must be sure that the students have both the language skills and the technical skills to participate in the project. At the beginning of the project, it is useful to brainstorm with the class what they already know about the country or area of their partner class and what they would like to learn. These lists can be used during the project to focus the content of the messages and to help students assess what they have learned when the project is completed. The teacher will need to supply students with appropriate phrases for salutations and endings, as well as for other recurring functions of letters and e-mail etiquette ("Nettiquette"). Students will need to see sample letters.
Webquests Edit
Definitions A WebQuest is an inquiry-oriented activity in which some or all of the information that learners interact with comes from resources on the internet, optionally supplemented with videoconferencing. There are at least two levels of WebQuests that should be distinguished from one another.
Short Term WebQuests The instructional goal of a short term WebQuest is knowledge acquisition and integration, described as Dimension 2 in Marzano's (1992) Dimensions of Thinking model. At the end of a short term WebQuest, a learner will have grappled with a significant amount of new information and made sense of it. A short-term WebQuest is designed to be completed in one to three class periods.
Longer Term WebQuest The instructional goal of a longer term WebQuest is what Marzano calls Dimension 3: extending and refining knowledge. After completing a longer term WebQuest, a learner would have analyzed a body of knowledge deeply, transformed it in some way, and demonstrated an understanding of the material by creating something that others can respond to, on-line or off-. A longer term WebQuest will typically take between one week and a month in a classroom setting.
Using technology to enhance learning and instruction through each of the 5C's Edit
Communication Edit
Interpersonal Mode Edit
Via technology, students have the opportunity to engage in interpersonal communication with native speakers through E-mail exchanges, real-time"chats", videoconferencing, or video exchanges. Classes of language learners within the same country could be connected by E-mail to exchange information about their schools and towns, using comparable level of proficiency in the world language to fill an information gap. Using the computer to communicate can provide a means of written conversation, in which short E-mail messages are exchanged, rather than letters. A class may set up a website through which they can communicate with each other or their teacher in the target language. Messages or homework questions can be posted and answered. Although information is read and therefore also interpretive communication, the nature of the discourse is conversational, with the emphasis more on the message being communicated and the negotiation of meaning.
Interpretive Mode Edit
The vast amount of written information on the World Wide Web provides a wealth of content for interpretive reading experiences. News, weather, ads, song lyrics, virtual tours of cities or museums, comics, fan letters, historical documents, classical and popular literature, and correspondence are examples that represent only a small portion of accessible text. The graphic organization and rich use of accompanying photos and illustrations make the text on websites more comprehensible to language learners at even beginning level. The diverse nature of the written information provides the opportunity for students to employ varying reading skills, such as reading for detail, skimming, scanning, deriving meaning from context, and evaluating material for authenticity. Teachers have access to authentic material that was previously only attainable through travel or personal connections to the target country. The level of sophistication and type of written material can be adapted to the students' level of proficiency and to the instructional goal. For example: advanced students can read a movie review, while beginning students could read movie theater ads to find opening and closing times, viewing age restrictions, or titles of movies they recognize.
Presentational Mode Edit
Students can use technology tools to create or compose presentations to demonstrate their performance of the learning goals. Using word processing to write in the target language enables students to edit and rewrite easily, encouraging them to incorporate the corrections and the revisions made through peer and teacher editing into a final manuscript, representative of their best efforts. Just as these writing tools are commonly used in one's first language, students should learn how to use these tools in their second and third languages. In presentational mode, accuracy takes on added importance, because meaning cannot be negotiated. Technology can help students polish their writing, appropriate in the presentational mode. Students can demonstrate their skill in the presentational mode through video and audio productions, PowerPoint presentations, production of websites, use of digital camera photographs or scanned images in presentation documents or displays, or through numerous other types of technology-enhanced performance tasks.
CULTURE Edit
The standard of Culture is the background in which we must embed the Communication standards. Technology can certainly enhance the student's ability to develop an awareness of another people's way of life. Viewing video presentations that depict traditional ideas and attitudes and how they influence behavior provides communication models for students. They develop observational skills by watching native speakers interact with each other. They can see links between communication and culture, like the use of gestures, personal space, and register that would be missed in written text or audiotapes. Videoconferencing, video streaming, and other audio and video technologies that link classrooms can provide face-to-face interaction. This connection will open the door to learning about the culture through direct interaction native speakers. The variety and ever-changing nature of Internet resources provide a multifaceted picture of the target culture, thus avoiding narrow cultural definitions that often reinforce stereotypes. Internet resources provide invaluable information in understanding the diversity of the target language, an aspect often left untouched in the traditional classroom due to lack of time or the instructor's incomplete knowledge, training or experience.
Connections Edit
Using the Internet for research in other classes opens the door to an entire world of information for students. A student who is researching the nutritional food pyramid for science class, could access the same information from another country to determine similarities and differences. Knowledge of the language and culture provides keys to interpreting the pyramid and finding reasons for the differences.
Comparisons Edit
Communicating with individuals in the target language or reading information from authentic sites enables the students to compare both the language and the culture of other countries. In an E-mail exchange with key pals in the target language, students naturally refer to aspects of their school and personal lives, such as study hall and homeroom. A Spanish partner may refer to going to the bar or going to the disco, which is much different than an American student's image of Disco or Bar. When an e-mail partner does not understand the culturally specific terms and needs clarification, students are called upon to reexamine cultural and linguistic phenomena through the perspective of another culture.
Communities Edit
Through email partnerships, internet connection, or other communications with the target language, students are employing the standard of Communities, reaching out to multilingual communities at home and abroad. Students' productions can be shared with other classes, other schools, parents, community groups or interschool competitions. This Communities Standard is achieved trough the very use of technology as a tool for language learning and for connecting to speakers of other languages.
Issues and Problems in Integrating Technology Edit
Employing technology: implications for teachers Edit
The teacher must make the decision to incorporate technology based on the most effective way of teaching the instructional goal. The crucial question is whether the goal justifies the class time spent in activities that do not address the primary goal of communication.
Teacher and student roles in the classroom and how the use of technology affects them:
Incorporating technology tools into instructions can dramatically change the traditional roles of the teacher and the student in the classroom. Software programs can provide a means of differentiate and individualize instruction, allowing students to progress at different rates, to pursue varied interests, and to gain practice in different areas of language learning. When the technology is being employed as a means to achieve a well-defined performance task, it is possible for students to pursue different paths to the learning goal. The teacher functions as a facilitator and as a guide, or a as a partner in the pursuit of learning. When the student is able to share technological knowledge and skill from which the teacher learns, the teacher models the qualities of a lifelong learner.
Use of translation programs Edit
Translation programs are readily available through the internet. Text can be copied and automatically translated on the screen. Presently results are limited to word-word translations, which can be embarrassing, culturally inappropriate, or inaccurate. The programs and their easy availability can be problematic for teachers. Pointing out the limitations of the translation programs to students effectively, demonstrates to them the importance of understanding the culture of target country to be able to communicate effectively.
Software Edit
great software for middle schoolers, interactive, students need headphones
Zingo Lingo
great software for elementary school students created by National Geographic
Assessment on the Wiki Chapter Edit
1. Name 3 possible ways of integrating technology into teaching Foreign Language.
2. Could you name 3 ways to link the National Foreign Language Standards with technology?
3. What is "Nettiquette"? When would you use it or teach it?
4. Why is using the Internet such a key element of Foreign Language Teaching?

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Nintendo, Sports, Wii
Nintendo just announced yet another Mario-themed addition to the Wii lineup this morning during their media summit in San Francisco - Mario Super Sluggers. It's exactly what you expect it will be, take Mario Strikers, remove soccer, add baseball.
"Mario is truly a one-of-a-kind character; clearly fans can't get enough of him and his friends," said Cammie Dunaway, Nintendo of America's executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. "We're giving Wii users brilliant new ways to enjoy him while expanding our series of active-play games."
Players will swing their Wiimotes like a bat, or motion a throw towards a baseman - you know, all that Wii stuff Nintendo likes to do. Mario Super Sluggers is scheduled to launch later this year.

Going into UFC 152 BJ Penn has total confidence at 170lbs. BJ explains to the Pulver Brothers there are different challenges at different weight classes. Not one of his opponents ever shook his confidence and neither will Rory MacDonald.
Abel: "Just to talk about this fight a little bit. Obviously it's at 170lbs. You've had some time off to reflect on maybe coming back or not coming back at all. Was there ever anytime where you thought – Maybe I'll cut to 155lbs again, maybe even try to get a super fight even as high as 185lbs you fought even Machida at heavyweight. Weight is never an issue for you. Do you think this is the optimal fight for you at 170lbs competing with guys like Rory who might come into the ring at 185lbs?"
BJ Penn:
"The last 3 guys I fought have been 25lbs heavier than me or 185lbs – John Fitch, Matt Hughes and Nick Diaz. They're all that much bigger than me. Honestly, I never stood in from of me and thought when I walked away 'There's no way I can beat this guy'. I've never felt that kind of talent standing in front of me. I've never felt that kind of aura, that kind of ability except for the first time that I fought Jens…. I'm pumped up for this fight.
If everything goes well in this fight, I wouldn't mind. I'm going to have to drop weight to the fighting weight for this. Maybe you will see me at 155lbs one day but honestly I don't have any plans looking past this. I don't have plans for a title run or anything but you never know what the future may hold.
My last 3 a lot kept talking to me 'oh why don't you go back to lightweight?' You know what I'm kind of fat right now. I got to lose some weight and my last 3 fights I did it. I've taken at welterweight so for me to just loose the weight and go up against these fast guys.
A lot of people they ask me 'what's the big difference with the weight classes' I always say 'The bigger guys are stronger but they are slower. The smaller guys are a little weaker because they're smaller but they're quicker. Everything offers different challenges and I feel good about this whole thing. I fought my last 3 fights at 170lbs and I got no fear whatsoever of any type of size difference."

3 of a Kind: Meatloaf Wellingtonby Amy Sherman in Restaurants, January 4th, 2017
3 of a Kind checks out three places across the country to try something cool, new and delicious.
Creative chefs across the country are marrying the humble meatloaf with the elegant beef Wellington. The result? Meatloaf Wellington. This genius mashup takes a down-home dish and transforms it with an upscale tweak: puff pastry. Any kind of ground meat works; the layer of duxelles (a mixture of mushrooms and shallots traditionally found in beef Wellington) is optional. One crucial addition, however, is the sauce, which adds an extra layer of flavor. Save the ketchup for your burger. Read more

Mobile library driver and author Alan Richardson's latest publication struck a cord with musician Sting.
Geordie's War documents the time Mr Richardson's grandfather, Private George Matthew Richardson, spent serving with the Northumberland Fusiliers during the First World War.
Sting, who fronted The Police, wrote the foreword.
Mr Richardson, 63, who has worked as a Wiltshire Council mobile library driver for seven years and whose route takes in Chippenham, went to college with the singer in Northumberland.
He said: "I knew him many years ago, when he was simply Gordon [Sumner], playing with Earthrise at college.
"A little while back, he'd got in touch to say he'd liked one of my books and I asked if he would like to do the foreword for Geordie's War.
"I knew Sting had a great interest and passion about the First World War and I'm really pleased to have him involved."
The author started on his latest book in the summer of 2012, while recovering from an operation, by researching his grandfather who was awarded a Distinguished Conduct Medal and the Military Medal and Bar.
Mr Richardson, who lives in Trowbridge with his wife Margaret, said: "My grandfather didn't like to speak about the war.
"Geordie's War touches on the influences my grandfather's time serving had on my father, who is also called George Matthew Richardson, and the rest of our family."
The author used information from a pocket watch that his grandfather was given by the people of his home town of Ashington for bravery, to research his book.
This helped him track down long-lost family members in America who filled in some gaps about Pte Richardson, who died in 1944.
Mr Richardson, who has four children, hopes Wiltshire Council will keep copies of Geordie's War in libraries. He said: "My family are all absolutely delighted with it. I've told them to keep a copy as it is an heirloom in our family."
Geordie's War is available to buy on www.amazon.co.uk

New Partnership for World-Leading Virtual Exhibitions
31 March 2009
UCL has just signed three partnership agreements, negotiated by Dr Anna Clark, UCL Director of Corporate Partnerships, which will enable the university to take a leading role in the development of Virtual Exhibitions in the arts and heritage sector.
UCL Extends its Relationship with Arius 3D
UCL has extended its successful three-year loan equipment agreement with the Canadian company Arius3D for the 3D colour laser based in The UCL Chorley Institute and negotiated new agreements with Arius3D and with the Irish-funded company Íomhánna Éigipteach Teoranta (IET), for licensing 3D images and for the development of Virtual Exhibitions.
Sally MacDonald, Head of UCL Collections, commented that 'this collaboration provides a wonderful opportunity to create innovative 3D virtual exhibitions based on the Petrie Museum's world class collections, and to bring UCL's work to audiences worldwide'. Prof. Stuart Robson of The UCL Centre for Environmental and Geomatic Engineering, who has been leading the university's 3D scanning research emphasised the benefits 'to UCL's imaging and Digital Humanities research'.
Brian Mori, President of Arius3D paid tribute to how "UCL's continued innovation and leadership thinking has allowed this tri-party agreement to provide enhanced access to one of the world's most valuable collections" and Dr Mike Spearman, Director of IET added that this was "a unique opportunity to combine ground breaking 3D technology with one of the great Egyptology collections".
The Chorley Institute Arius3D colour laser was installed at UCL in
2006. Based on National Research Council Canada (NRC) technology, and
licensed to Arius3D, it was the first of its kind in Europe, and has
already generated more than £2.5 million of research funding proposals,
as well as numerous workshops and seminars. Prof. Stuart Robson has worked with Sally MacDonald
on UCL interdisciplinary initiatives, using the new technology to
further relationships with external institutions including the British Museum and The National Trust.
The new agreements bring a number of benefits to UCL, including latest
generation 3D colour scanning technology (with a new mobile scanner),
associated software, funding of scanning and curatorial staff and
refurbishment. The Petrie Museum will also derive income from the new agreements' licensing and royalty provisions, transacted through UCL Business.

We'll help you find the right solution for your needs
Does this sound like your topic?
Posted by Leonardo
can't say enough about Jacqueline, so I am going to be a little all over the place. My last immigration lawyer and I parted ways three years ago . I was not clear on where I stood with regards not only to the immigration law and my record, . Jacqueline was recommended to me as very knowledgeable and most importantly a fighter. Those things were absolutely true. I can't stress the fighter part enough. From the first phone call I had with her, it was clear that she really knows what she is talking about. She also made the whole experience very pleasant and very easy for me and my family. Jacqueline worked long hours and kept us informed on what was going on, she is smart, and cares about people. That was a very welcome trait for my family, as we were going through an extremely stressful ordeal. She was upfront, straightforward and accessible. My case was also a bit unique and Jacqueline thought outside the box. After taking over my case two years ago, Jacqueline was able to get my case Re-open with the Board Of Immigration Appeals after so many disappointments. She is an answer to our prayers. Jacqueline and her legal team have been extremely professional and extremely helpful in helping me achieve my dream of becoming permanent resident. She knows the law and all the options that are needed to win a case. You have nothing to lose other than the opportunity to be represented by one of the very best in the profession. Mrs. Jacqueline is a shining star. I found a new friend, but not just a friend... a GOOD friend. Our lives have changed forever and the future looks very bright and my immigration case was re-open, Was approved and I am now waiting for my Green Card. Thanks Jacqueline.
P.S. Compensation for her services was also reasonable.

I have been waiting to write this review because I have been think of how to express my gratitude in words. I don't think I will very find the right words to express how thankful I am. I called so many Lawyers and they would say "Sorry can't help you" but Jacqueline listen to everything I had to say and she took the case and worked very hard on the case. My husband was sentence last year and he took a plea and it had immigration consequences. Jacqueline even had a conference call with Norton Toby regarding my husband and she also had Neil Barr working on the case and was also conference in with Norton Toby. Because after my husband entered the plea, Immigration took him into custody. He was moved to LA and Jacqueline was their every step. She know where he was at and she would call the immigration location if my husband was not receive his medication. During this process I was very scarred and nervous and Neil and Jacqueline had the patience to still work with me. Jacqueline also worked with my husband criminal attorney. Finally he was released from INS. Jacqueline is the best Immigration Lawyer you could every hire.

I worked with Ms. Scott with my green card application. She was thorough and kept me informed at all the steps. She took the time to explain all the details which i found to be very helpful. At the end, she was there during the interview and again, kept me informed throughout the whole procedure.
Posted by Anna
Jacqueline Brown Scott was excellent in all regards. She was efficient, thorough, helpful and timely. I was lucky to have found her.
Posted by volodymyr
I was impressed how fast (less then 1 month after submission) my green card approval arrived. Yes, I spent a lot of time preparing docs but mostly coz. the lawyer insisted on doing a good job here.
Posted by Phong Le
I've worked with immigration lawyers in the past and the majority of them are not as friendly; most are as friendly and sharp like most typical state or immigration department pencil pusher. Jacqueline Brown Scott has beent more of a caring parent than the other immigration lawyer.
Jacqueline takes very good care of her clients. She is very meticulous in her details and crosses every t's and dots every i's. Her guidance, planning, diligence and warmth that she brings to mine and my spouse's Immigration process.
Jacqueline Brown Scott is also active with keeping others than just her clients informed of Immigration law news. Mrs. Brown Scott also keeps a very well update blog of her own at http://www.brownscottlaw.com/immigration-blog. She is constantly updating her blog.
My spouse and I have been very fortunate to have Jacqueline Brown Scott on our side. If we could do this over again, we know who to call.
Posted by Samanata
Jacqueline's level of expertise and professionalism is unmatched. She reviewed my case thoroughly yet swiftly, and never missed a detail. My husband and I felt very comfortable working with Jacqueline as she helped us navigate the immigration paperwork maze. She also accompanied us to our interview with the INS officer. I have worked with several lawyers in the past on my student/work visas, and none of them were as personable as Jacqueline. What could have been a stressful time for us went incredibly smoothly thanks to her. I recommend Jacqueline without hesitation.

Wildfowlers were out from dawn to-day to mark the first day of the duck shooting season.
However this season, they are being met by a raft of new signs aimed at keeping them on the right side of the law.
They can shoot over most of Upper and Lower Lough Erne provided they have the proper permit issued by Lough Erne Wildfowlers' Council but there are a number of designated refuges where the shooting of ducks, geese and other waterfowl are prohibited. There are four sanctuaries around Enniskillen, at Knockninny and Castle Archdale and Castle Caldwell. 22 signs mark the boundaries of these refuges.

Does that make him confident or — this year's buzz word — delusional?
Hear for yourself.[audio:http://lohud.com/audio/rangers/jagr0313.mp3]
Me, I'm not sure. I can't believe I'm saying this, but the Karel Rachunek injury tonight certainly didn't help. But then, neither did the Malik own goal, or Avery hitting the post, or Jagr missing a half open net, or Brad Isbister being Brad Isbister, or Jed Ortmeyer failing to clear the zone on the penalty kill, or…well, you understand what I'm getting at here.
Say what you want, they're certainly never boring.
And speaking of boring, the end is in sight, my friends. If all goes well tomorrow will be my last day of jury duty, meaning my attention will soon be back completely on your collective misery.
