A Must For Every Geek
Feb. 7 2006
This review is from:
Leo Laporte's 2006 Gadget Guide (Paperback)
Being a long-time Tech TV watcher (before G4 took over and changed my favourite shows) I was familiar with Leo's previous Gadget Guides but had never actually read one. Now that I have, all I can say is, it's better reading than the Sears Christmas Wish Catalogue. Leo has found items I'd never even heard of, and I read alot of product newsletters.
The gadgets in this year's issue are nicely organized into easy to find catagories, and in the book's index I found even more items which for some reason I managed to miss on my first read-through of the book. While I would've liked to have seen a few more of the fun gadgets, such as USB Air Darts (good for those slow office times), I was far more interested in the outdoor gadgets for photographers and hikers, which sometimes intertwine when one is a landscape photographer.
Leo and Michael have very nicely done alot of research which saved me alot of time, weeding out the cream of the gadget crop from the chafe - of course they also managed to make me want to win the lottery so that I could buy alot of the gadgets in this book - just because they're cool and look like they are something every geek household must have. The information provided for each gadget is comprehensive, and the humour which the authors have interjected into the section introductions and product descriptions makes for even more enjoyable reading.With the inclusion of manufacturer's websites in the product info, one can find even more great gadgets to add to a growing wish list. This book is definitely a volume which needs to be on the shelves of geeks everywhere, and I would highly recommend it as a starting point for product research.
MySQL (3rd Edition)

MySQL (3rd Edition) (Paperback)
Paul DuBois wrote this insightful book on the basics of MySQL. This book contains tons of diagrams and explains things very thoroughly. Not only that, but it shows examples in the following languages: Perl, Python, PHP, C, and more.
What I like about this book is that it is very helpful to those who do not know MySQL. The diagrams and examples are a great way of learning how to use the many features MySQL has to offer.
What I don't like about the book is that it is very long and it takes awhile to get into. If you already know the basics, you should look in the contents to find an appropriate chapter for you.
This book is not only for the newcomers and novices. It can be useful to just about anybody. All you have to do is look at the contents and find what you're looking for.

Abundance of Information

Linux Application Development (2nd Edition) (Hardcover)
One of the more concise books I've read recently, this book covers every aspect I could think to ask of a typical book covering development in a linux/unix environment. Granted I am not your average linux programmer, nor even worthy of being "half-decent" however of a program I'd generally expect a few key things. These fundamentals are primarily automation, usability and speed, each of these is detailed thoroughly at various points within the book and are also reiterated as points not to forget which I believe is an essential technique in any educational book.
The book is aimed at a wide audience, ranging from experienced UNIX programmers looking to extend their knowledge into the linux environment, right through to novice program architects looking to use linux as their starting platform in application development, the structure and content is suitable to facilitate the needs of both extremes. As mentioned previously the book's intended use is as an educational resource, and therefore it's purpose is to teach a target audience who are interested in learning. Personally I have gained a lot from this book, being the novice myself having never attempted application development before I experienced the content from what is most likely the predominant perspective of those which have also read the book.
The only drawback I noticed was the sheer volume of text which has no screenshots or illustrations to separate, obviously taking into consideration that the linux environment is not usually one with much more than a command line interface, it would however be favourable and most likely improve the book's enjoyability if there were occasional shots of images such as how a given program looks when executed.
Overall I would greatly recommend this book for content due to the abundance of information given throughout, I would not however recommend it as a book to read non-stop as it is very much a necessity that a degree of practical experience accompanies the reading, and processing all the information available without any visual aid can often prove challenging.

This review is from:
Photoshop CS2 for Windows and Macintosh: Visual QuickStart Guide (Paperback)
This is an incredibly complete manual for PhotoShop CS2. This book managed to keep me interested and learning for many hours, and contained information on settings I didn't even know I had. PhotoShop CS2 for Windows and Mac covers everything any level of user could possibly need to know, from colour management to camera raw. I was pleased to find a section on Adobe Bridge which I actually understood and could work my way through. There is an abundance of extra tooltips in sidebars, which would have stood out better with some added colour other than a grey box in a black and white book, but more on that later. It was nice to see the work of the PhotoShop gurus included in this book in the few colour photos-they serve as a reason to both keep learning and remembering those gurus had to start somewhere too.
In regards to the layout of the book, the flow from section to section is done in a logical manner; however, I would've like to have seen more use of colour in some of the screenshots showing project steps. While the screenshots and photos were clear and it was easy to follow what the authors were doing, some procedures would be easier to visualize and compare to your own "follow along work" if they had been in colour. I particular liked the extra effort taken in the book's table of contents to include checkmarks next to CS2's new features. Even though many of us PhotoShop fans knew what was new, marking the new features made it easy to skip right to those tutorials and really get into CS2's changed or new features. The detail in the table of contents is also the best I have seen in any PhotoShop manual, surpassed only by the completeness of this publication's comprehensive index. Between the table of contents and index, there is no reason for any reader to not find what they are looking for help on.
If I hadn't yet owned any CS2 manuals, I think that this would probably be the only I would buy-if it had more full colour illustrations, it would indeed be the only book that would be finding a permanent quick-reference spot on my desk. I highly recommend this book to all levels of users-we're never so good that we can't learn something new, and I'm sure that tucked somewhere in the tutorials and extra tips, you'll find something new, or a different approach to a tried and true method you may have used thousands of times. PhotoShop CS2 for Windows and Macintosh is definitely a five star volume.

Get the Image You Want: Essential Photoshop Editing Techniques (Paperback)
This book is of the calibre of work I would expect from Element K. The photos and screenshots are high quality and relevant to the exercise being shown on the page. For the most part, their instructions are clear and easy to follow, but I would've liked to have seen a little more detail in some areas. At times the authors have glossed over a step, presuming that the reader would know what to do. That said, I thoroughly enjoyed this publication, and learned many useful methods for improving my own work. While the book is aimed at photographers, there are many procedures which can be used by graphic artists to achieve various effects. Element K did a very good job of explaining some of the more obscure tools-especially those where many new users may fear to tread, or may not even be aware that they exist. Both the table of contents and the index are well set out, making subjects very easy to find. The problem and solution sections at the end of each chapter also offer an extra bit of information on fixing image problems that could cause a photographer to toss a picture as unusable. While Element K is a very good resource site, and this book was probably published to make their online services known, it would've been nice to see some "outside resources" listed as well. No one site can offer absolutely everything a new user, or even a seasoned user, for that matter, may be trying to find help for. Overall, I would recommend this book to photographers just starting out in the field of image editing; it's definitely worth the price of the book to learn some trade methods on improving the quality of one's work.
The Power of Impossible Thinking: Transform the Business of Your Life and the Life of Your Business

The Power of Impossible Thinking: Transform the Business of Your Life and the Life of Your Business (Hardcover)
If ever there was a knockout book about changing your life in a positive, measurable way, The Power of Impossible Thinking is it. This book is filled with examples of society's collective thought patterns and expectations, and ways to change them in your own life. If you are a businessperson trying to find original ways to grow your business, you'll know that almost everything's already been tried at least once. If you want to circle around the herd and forge your own path, read this book. Don't just look at all the angles, look for the angles that don't show. If you want to change the way your life is going, this book is for you-because it's all in the way you think; afterall, the way you think about your reality is your reality, and only you can change it-with a little help from Mr. Wind and Mr. Crook.
The first page of this book lists a few simple questions followed by a simple statement that maybe changing the way you think will give you the answers to the preceding questions. This is followed by a promise from the authors that this book will show you how, and true to their word-they do. The authors delve into the world of neuroscience in a detailed manner, but they do it without causing you to reach for the nearest dictionary or making you fall asleep. Their approach is quite the contrary-they make you want to keep reading; simply because what they are saying makes so much sense.
The Power of Impossible Thinking is one of those books that is constantly sparking new ideas in the reader's mind, as if the "light" doesn't just turn on, it keeps getting brighter. By the end of this book, the reader can't help but want to start putting these new ideas into practice. Throughout the text, the authors pose questions to the reader, making him or her take a look at the way they think about things and how they can be changed. The brief point by point chapter reviews help to nurture those ideas as you move onto the next chapter, and the next.
As you progress through this book, you will come to a quick realization that this is not just another stuffy life management book which promises to fix all of your problems. It is, however a handbook you can read and re-read many times. This isn't a book you read once and then put on a shelf; it's one you will want to read often-to keep the dust from settling back on all of those old mindsets you are working on changing.
The audio CD which is included with the book offers a quick review of the book's main points. Condensed into approximately twenty minutes, it can fill that drive time to the office. The author interview section of the CD offers more insight into the author's points of view and gives the listener further understanding of how these men have implemented the power of impossible thinking in their own lives. For those who want to further reading into the subject, the book contains many bibliographical footnotes and references for the reader to investigate.
Needless to say, I am a fan of the Power of Impossible Thinking. I've put some of these practice to work in my own life with successful results, and for anyone else wanting to make some radical changes in their lives, this book is one of the best places to start.
Firefox and Thunderbird Garage

This review is from:
Firefox and Thunderbird Garage (Paperback)
If the authors of this book were car mechanics I would be first in line to take my car to them for repairs. FireFox & Thunderbird Garage is the most complete text I have seen yet on these two programmes. The book opens with an indepth introduction to the Open Source philosophy and gives the reader an understanding of the vision held by those who create programmes and release them as open source.
This book is rife with good humour and holds a plethora of sites on the web to visit. I have to admit I was surprised to see the home page for The Arrogant Worms listed as a favourite site by an American author, but given the sense of humour injected into this book perhaps I shouldn't really have been that surprised. Sidebar notes are placed in relevant areas along with web resources, and content is easy to find using the extensive table of contents or index.
The authors have divided the Garage into two "service bays" one for each programme, with cross-referencing for helpful hints and further information. Both sections are laid out in a logical, step by step format. Even someone who has never opened FireFox or Thunderbird will be advanced users by the time they finish the last page. The book is illustrated with clear, easy to understand screenshots and diagrams which accompanied by a comprehensive list of online resources. Procedures for Windows, Mac and Linux are covered, along with complete keyboard menus for both programmes.
FireFox & Thunderbird Garage goes far beyond the basics, covering such areas as spam, phishing, virus and trojan dangers and security tips. The chapter on blogging was informative and a nice addition to the book. I think my favourite part of the book, aside from the knowledge I have gained, were Eunice's Popovers. If you want to know what they are, you'll need to buy the book and find out for yourself. Firefox & Thunderbird Garage is worth every cent of the cover price and one that has found a permanent home on my reference shelf.

Cascading Style Sheets: Designing for the Web (3rd Edition) (Paperback)
CSS: Designing For The Web, written by the creators of CSS, is the perfect book for anyone who wants to brush up on their CSS knowledge. This book covers almost every aspect of CSS in outstanding detail from Span and Div to Media-Specific Style Sheets, it truly is a remarkable guide. On thing I found most useful in this book was the CSS Quick Reference which lists every attribute in CSS 1 and 2.x with possible values and a page number where that attribute is explained, all of this sitting in the inside cover for quick access. This book is not, however, a guide to HTML and readers should appreciate how HTML works to get the most from this book (understanding of basic CSS wouldn't go amiss either).
Cascading Style Sheets: Designing For The Web doesn't only show you the code to do what you want, it explains it as well. This is something I've found lacking in other CSS books and until I read this book I couldn't tell you what the baseline or ascender was, why em was different from ex or why using pixels for measurements is a bad idea. This book is written by those who know best and they succeed at outlineing the "best practices" for CSS on the web.
One of the problems with CSS and the web is that different browsers have a habit of displaying differently and some browsers (no names please) are badly lacking in support for CSS. Recognising the problem, the authors have put a key at side of each attribute letting you know which common browsers (they list Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari, Opera and Konqueror) support that particular attribute - excellent information for those who need cross-browser support. Don't let the book's name surprise you, its not only concerned about CSS for the web. The book devotes a chapter to other media, specifically print.
Introduction to Computer Security

If you have a computer, read this book
Oct. 28 2005
This review is from:
Introduction to Computer Security (Hardcover)
In the preface of this book, Mr. Bishop states that he has set out three goals for this publication. In my opinion he met and surpassed all three of these goals. Introduction To Computer Security centers on relevance to the reader's real world. Mr. Bishop has shown in terms easily understandable to the lay reader, that anyone who works with computers needs to be aware of basic security practices, and why. He clearly conveys the truth and practicality of the theory and practice necessary to implement good computer security.
Mr. Bishop goes into great detail to explain the theory and practice of computer security, and even though this book is meant to be a course textbook, Mr. Bishop does not lose the reader's interest like so many other technical manuals on the market. While technical terminology is inescapable for a work such as this, almost anyone can easily learn and use the basics Mr. Bishop discusses.
As a network owner who, with the help of a very capable server administrator, has stood up to distributed denial of service attacks for extended periods of time, I know first hand the importance of a secure network. Network owners and administrators, through a burden of responsibility to their users, need to be able to attain a secure working environment on the network. Mr. Bishop's inclusion of simple, well-labelled diagrams and tutorial exercises at the end of each chapter help the reader to gauge his or her understanding of the material covered.
Admittedly some of the material covered in this book was far beyond my technical experience, but I was able to at least gain a greater understanding of the theory behind the practice of computer security. I also enjoyed the Shakespearean quotes which opened every chapter. Mr. Bishop successfully tied the past to the present in a way that many readers could enjoy. The several pages of bibliographical references at the end of this book are a goldmine of knowledge for anyone wishing to learn more about the world of computer security. I would highly recommend this test to anyone involved with the running of a network big or small, and it should be mandatory reading for anyone seeking a career in network administration.

The Zen of CSS Design: Visual Enlightenment for the Web (Paperback)
When building a website, CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) can make or break a website, This book will show you how to build a website out of nothing but CSS. In my opinion Zen Garden is "Cadillac" of web design. In this book there is a lot of high detailed pages showing you many example templates, then it goes on to tell you how they coded/made the design. Also gives a lot of snippets and other types of bits of coding, also covers how to overlap and set transparency to pictures and menus. Also lets you know what browsers will be compatible with CSS. CSS isn't perfect and just like any other type of coding, you might end up spending hours and hours trying to get something right, with this book you wont be spending hours coding, this book also tells you the "do's and don'ts" for building a CSS website, also gives you a few sites where you can check your work for errors and whatnot. Also gives you many CSS resource links, where you can get help, templates, code example, other CSS books. I recommend this book for anyone that uses CSS, from the most basic user to the advanced.

TARPON SPRINGS — Tarpon Springs defeated district rival River Ridge 42-15 on homecoming night. Louis Pappas led the Spongers with three touchdown passes and a rushing touchdown for the Spongers. Pappas finished with nine completions on 11 attempts for 237 yards.
The Spongers got on the scoreboard in the first quarter with a 40-yard touchdown by backup quarterback Wyatt Wikle to Alan Wilson. On Tarpon's next possession, Wikle was picked off by River Ridge's Brandon Nazzarlo, who returned the pass 45 yards for a score to even it at 7.
Tarpon Springs retook the lead in the middle of the second quarter on Pappas' 1-yard run. Pappas threw two touchdowns to Runaldo Wright in the final minute of the half to help the Spongers pull away. Wright finished with three receptions for 71 yards. Tarpon has a strong game on the ground as well, with Darius Daniels rushing for 119 yards including a 58-yard touchdown.
Tarpon held River Ridge to 168 total yards, 87 passing, and 81 rushing. The Spongers also forced four fumbles, recovering two.
Spongers coach Atif Austin was impressed with his team's performance, saying, "I was looking for the team to be more physical up front, and we got that tonight."

Basic Sock
buy it now or visit pattern website
Our mothers (and their mothers) knew this sock by heart, with its vertical heel flap, turned heel, picked up gussets and grafted toe. For many of us, it's the first sock we learned and our point of departure into the ever widening world of socks. While we love some of the new approaches, we return again and again to this straightforward, comfy basic. Once you understand its simple structure, improvise to your heart's content.
If you need to size socks for a surprise, here's a rule of thumb ('rule of toe?') based on averages of North American shoe sizing systems:
Women's size 5 = 9". For each full size, add ¼" (e.g. size 7 = 9½").
For men, take man's size + 1½; the resulting number is the equivalent women's size; using the rule above, translate this to inches (e.g. Men's size 9½ + 1½ = women's size 11 = 10½").
Socks are forgiving—just get close!

There is a bug with the Wikia Server Clock, it keeps thinking the time is 10:55 (for example) when it's been told to go ahead by one hour due to DST. This is extremely annoying and it means my posts are signed with the wrong timestamp (eg, it signs my post with 10:55 when the real time is 11:55).

The jump in shipments can be explained by the ramping up of deliveries of Embraer's $3.745 million Phenom 100. The five-passenger very light jet was certified in December 2008 and two were delivered before the end of that year. The company delivered 93 Phenom 100s last year. On the other hand, deliveries of the well established, super-midsize $27.45 million Legacy 600 totaled 33 in 2008 but dropped to 18 last year.
The Lineage 1000, Embraer's largest business jet and an executive variant of the E190 regional airliner, is priced at $49.25 million. It was certified last year and three of the finished 19-passenger airplanes were delivered before year-end.
The new $8.14 million Phenom 300, a six- to seven-passenger light jet, was certified in December 2009 and the first airplane was delivered at the company's São José dos Campos headquarters on December 29.
The first Phenom 300 went to Executive Flight Services of Kansas City, Mo. Executive Flight took delivery of the aircraft on behalf of an unidentified customer and will operate it through its managed aircraft program.
Executive AirShare, the parent company of Executive Flight, has orders for six Phenom 300s, with deliveries spread from 2011 through 2013.
Last month Embraer delivered the fourth Lineage 1000 to Al Jaber Aviation of Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates. It is the first Lineage to join the Al Jaber fleet and will begin on-demand charter service next month. Al Jaber already has two Legacy 600s and firm orders for four more Lineage 1000s, as well as for four "mid-light" Legacy 450s and four midsize Legacy 500s. The Lineage 1000 will allow the operator to provide nonstop service between the Emirates and London.
While the total deliveries of commercial, executive and government/military jets gave a positive spin to the 2009 report, the backlog numbers were less to dance about. The firm backlog as of Dec. 31, 2008, totaled $20.9 billion. The total backlog as of Dec. 31, 2009, was $16.6 billion.

Clinton: Syria on brink of catastrophe as rebels advance. The region in danger…(WWIII Looms!! Get Your Preps Done!!)
July 8, 2012
"There is still a chance to save the Syrian state from a catastrophic assault that would be very dangerous not only to Syria, but to the region," said US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in Tokyo, Sunday, July 8. She did not elaborate, but stressed earlier, "… the opposition is getting more effective in defense of themselves and going on the offensive against the Syrian military."
DEBKAfile's military sources note that her over-the-top language comes at a pivotal moment in the Syrian conflict: The rebels are winning more and more territory and not only encircling Damascus but fighting inside the capital. To save itself, the Assad regime which still controls the army outside Damascus may in desperation open up its arsenals and deploy weapons of mass destruction in a bid to drive off the rebels while also spreading the flames to other parts of the region, including Israel.
Persian Gulf sources reported Sunday that inside the capital, the Syrian army no longer moves troops in military convoys for fear of rebel attack. They now travel in unmarked civilian vehicles. Some officers prefer to stay on base for fear of assassination or kidnap on their way home.
Clinton did not explain how the rebels were suddenly able in the last few days to develop their ubiquitous capabilities, rising numbers and military organization – or where they procured weapons for their wholesale offensive against the Syrian army.

House identified on Red Oak Drive
The Mounds View City Council unanimously approved a resolution that supports a Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity project.
In a staff report to the council, Economic Development Specialist Heidi Steinmetz wrote that the Mounds View Economic Development Authority received $100,000 in Community Development Block Grant funding in 2012 to acquire a vacant and/or foreclosed residential lot in the city.
The vacant/blighted home would be demolished, and the lot would be donated to Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity. At least 70 percent of the funds must be used for activities that benefit low- and moderate-income people, she wrote.
At the Feb. 11 council meeting, City Administrator Jim Ericson said that a house on Red Oak Drive had been identified for the project. A purchase offer was submitted to the property owner and the city was still waiting on a response.
According to Ramsey County, there is no deadline for when the project has to be completed or when the funds have to be used.
Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity would like to apply for additional HOME funds to use toward the construction of the project in Mounds View. HOME is the largest federal block grant to state and local governments, which is designed to create affordable housing for low-income households. The resolution that was approved by the council also supports the application for HOME funds.

Just for fun...
Someone posted a comment on another blog entry. It pointed me to a cartoon they thought I could relate to. It was pretty funny :)
Last week, a friend of mine sent me a link. He sent me a URL to a restaurant so we could meet there. Thunderbird broke the URL in half for some reason and when I clicked on the link, I received an error page that contained in part this text:
Element RESTAURANT is undefined in URL.
The error occurred in /........../something.cfm: line 7
5 : select SectionName, Words
6 : from restaurants
7 : where Restaurant='#url.Restaurant#'
8 : and Section='#url.Section#'
9 :
Interesting I thought... I had some fun with that - discovered that restaurant was not only SQL injectable but HTML injectable as well (they used the text in SQL and in their generated HTML - you can do some interesting things with that)...
If you do not know what SQL Injection is - please read this. And then get rid of string concatention in your code where ever you can!
Just to close on a sadly funny note - (warning, not entirely safe for work language is on this page) check this out

The Saturday Mail & 8 Other Things From Your Childhood That Are Now Extinct
Whenever I come home, whether it be for a break or a bit longer, I'm somehow automatically assigned the job of getting the mail everyday. Secretly, this is my favorite chore to do, and I have no idea why since I don't get mail at my parents' house anyway. That said, there is just something exciting about watching the white truck roll by and not knowing what to expect in the mail box. It's like getting presents and surprises all year around! Heck, it's Christmas nearly everyday! I have always wished they delivered mail on Sundays too, but since they delivered it the other six days of the week, I kept silent.
However, that has changed. It is an outrage that I can no longer be silent about! The U.S. Postal Service will not be delivering letter mail on Saturdays starting in August. Only packages. The future children of America will never know what it means to go out on a Saturday afternoon to get the mail! Tragedy.
What other things no longer exist from our childhood? Come, reminisce. Read more…

Julia Louis-Dreyfus celebrated a major career milestone Monday morning when she unveiled her very own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame -- too bad it was misspelled!
David Daniel, an entertainment producer (and blogger) for CNN, noticed the brand-new star hours before the unveiling ceremony. Spelled as "Julia Luis Dreyfus," the sidewalk plaque was missing an "O" and a hyphen.
Daniel alerted two "startled" workmen, and then contacted a press rep for the Walk of Fame about the glaring error, who admitted she "almost puked" about the mistake.
But the Seinfeld actress found the gaffe "hysterical" and wanted the star kept as it was -- but workmen had chiseled out the "Luis" and replaced it with a temporary "Louis" for the unveiling. The star will be permanently repaired soon.
Louis-Dreyfus' parting gift from the incident: the misspelled "Luis."

Ask Health Experts and Get Answers to Your Health Question ASAP
You cannot use Senna for a long time. It contains certain substances called anthraquinones which stimulate the colon to contract and help expel the stool. Ideally, this should not be used for more than 1 week consecutively. An important side effect of Senna with long term use is a condition known as lazy bowel syndrome, which is a condition in which you will be unable to pass stools without a laxative.
It will be better for you to use another herbal product called Psyllium husk, available as Metamucil. This is biologically inert and can be used safely for years. It increases the bulk of the stool which then increases the pressure inside the rectum, stimulating the passage of stool.
You will need to drink at least 2 glasses of water with eash tsf of psyllium to get the full benefit.
I hope this helps.

We offer both one-to-one and group French grinds in Dublin.
We use our own Excellent Study Notes so there is no need for you to bring anything to the grinds.
All areas of Leaving & Junior Cert Syllabi covered. Student chooses topics according to needs.
|Hourly Rate
|Student's Home €50
Tutor's Home €40
|Pay as you go €15
Term price €10
Group grinds take place in Charleville Lodge Hotel in Dublin 7. The 46A bus stops right outside the door of the hotel and there is ample free car parking available. Small class sizes guaranteed. You can pay as you go for €15 per grind or sign up for the full term where each grind works out at only €10.
If you would like to organise a one-to-one session, we would love to hear from you. Our contact details are as follows:
Note to Parents: Sending your student to a grind teacher/school does not always mean they will get a straight A in the subject. They do need to put in a lot of effort themselves, complete homework we assign and attend grinds on a regular basis. Only then will they achieve their full potential in French.
Group grinds take place on a weekly basis in Charleville Lodge Hotel in Dublin 7. Junior Cert grinds take place on Monday nights (7pm – 8:15pm), and Leaving Cert grinds take place on Thursday nights (7pm – 8:15pm). The grinds are delivered by our own teachers, including Paul Stenson (Founder), David Maury (French Native) and Eibhlín O'Donnell. The 46A bus stops right outside the door of the hotel and there is ample free car parking available. Term 1 commences in October 2014 and runs up until Christmas. Term 2 commences in February and runs up until the exams in June.
Weekly group grinds work out at only €15 per grind. You can join the class at any point in the term; the term pass price reduces every week according to the number of classes remaining. To see if the grinds suit you, you can attend your first grind free of charge. The balance will then need to be paid either on the day of your free grind, or before the start of the next grind.
To book your free trial group grind, call 0868595125 or email email@example.com.
For students living outside of Dublin, FrenchGrinds.com provides online grinds via Google Hangouts. The price is €20 per 45 minute one-to-one online grind. The beauty of this service is that it is very flexible in terms of scheduling as the online grind can be carried out at pretty much anytime (including Sundays), provided that both the student and the teacher are available. If you would like to avail of this service, email us at firstname.lastname@example.com or call us at 0868595125 and we can organise a session.
"I found Paul's grinds very useful especially the Oral French course. This helped me as I got a chance to speak to a native French speaker. The notes are very in depth and helpful. It was of great benefit to me and did not ask for the expensive sums that other grinds ask for. It was a very friendly and interactive class and I would highly advise it to anyone struggling with French of those who wish to perfect their French"Muireann Collins O'Regan, Muckross Park College,
Leaving Cert Student 2014
"Paul's excellent teaching methods helped me through sixth year French, and I would highly advise anyone to apply for all his courses"Greg Murphy, St Mary's College Rathmines,
Leaving Cert Student 2014
"I found the weekly grinds very helpful with my learning of the French language. Paul was a great teacher and I found the interaction between Paul and students great instead of sitting at the back of a room while a teacher would keep reading without stopping"Darragh Ryan, Ard Scoil Ris,
Leaving Cert Student 2014
"I found Paul's classes very enjoyable! The small class sizes made it easier to understand the work for Leaving Cert French and the price was an attraction for me"Ross Kelly, St Declan's College,
Leaving Cert Student 2014
All grinds, both one-to-one and group, are delivered by Head Teacher Paul Stenson, French Native David Maury and Eibhlín O'Donnell.
Paul lectures in the Irish American University in Dublin's Merrion Square and has been giving French grinds to both Leaving and Junior Cert students since 2004.

Geographical areas covered (one-to-one): Dublin 7, Co. Wicklow, Co. Kildare.
David is a native of France and has been living in Ireland for 17 years. He holds an M.A. in English which he completed in NUI Maynooth and has been teaching French on and off since 1997. Being a native French speaker means he has a thorough understanding of the French language and all its nuances which he is able to share with students of any level.
Geographical areas covered (one-to-one): Dublin 7, Greater Dublin Area
Eibhlín is a qualified French and Business Studies secondary school teacher who has been teaching in Irish secondary schools for the past 3 years. Prior to that she was teaching English to francophone students in Québec for 2 years. She has studied French to Masters level and has lived in Strasbourg, France.

Everyman Theatre Offer Handheld Closed Captioning Devices at Every Performance
Everyman Theatre has announced that beginning with its upcoming production of Nina Raine's award-winning play Tribes, audience members will have the ability to use personal handheld closed captioning devices during every performance. An early adopter of the new technology, Everyman is proud to be among the first theatres in the country to offer this option to its audiences for every performance. The announcement of the new technology supports Everyman's mission to make theatre accessible to everyone.
"We are committed to embodying the promise of our name - Everyman Theatre," said Founding Artistic Director Vincent Lancisi. "We strive to allow everyone to be able to experience live theatre at anytime. By taking this leap and becoming an early adopter of this new technology, we celebrate a milestone of growth as an organization. For the first time - long overdue - we are able to invest in technology that says to the deaf and hard-of-hearing communities: 'We value you and we want you to be a part of the Everyman family.' Tribes is the perfect show to introduce the mid-Atlantic to this incredible technology and we are proud to be among the first regional theatres to offer this to audiences."
The theatre will offer patrons complimentary iPod Touches with the closed-captioning software installed on the device. When the show begins, the dialogue will appear in text form on the screen of the device. Much like a light or sound board operator, the captioning will also have an operator who is advancing the text forward so it matches the action exactly to what is happening on the stage. There is also an app available for patrons to download and use on all Apple devices. An Android app is being developed and tested, as well.
To improve the user's experience, the theatre will also offer an optional, complimentary adjustable seat-mount to hold the iPod comfortably in front of the patron's seat so they don't have to hold it themselves throughout the duration of the show. Special filter screens have also been installed on the devices so those sitting nearby will not be see the light from the iPod's screen.
Visit www.everymantheatre.org/productions/tribes for a special behind-the-scenes video that includes a demonstration of the captioning devices.
Tribes is the hysterical and touching coming-of-age story about a young deaf man and his struggle for self-identity within a hearing family. The show begins performances on May 28th and will run through June 22nd.
In addition to the closed captioning being available at all performances, the theatre is also offering five ASL interpreted performances of the production. Complimentary assistive listening devices are also available at the theatre for all performances.
The theatre company has partnered with Tim McCarty, Artistic Director of Quest Visual Theatre, to serve as the production's Director of Access. Willy Conley, former chairperson of the theatre arts department at Gallaudet University, is serving as the production's Director of Artistic Sign Language. Together, these production staff members have shared best practices for integrating deaf and hard-of-hearing actors into its production process and assisted Everyman as it expands its accessible performances and events for the production of Tribes.
Everyman Theatre is supported by a grant from the Maryland State Arts Council, an agency dedicated to cultivating a vibrant cultural community where the arts thrive. An agency of the Department of Business & Economic Development, the MSAC provides financial support and technical assistance to non-profit organizations, units of government, colleges and universities for arts activities. Funding for the Maryland State Arts Council is also provided by the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency.
Everyman Theatre is a member of the Bromo Tower Arts and Entertainment District.
Everyman Theatre is proud to partner with University of Maryland Medical Center as the Season Sponsor and WYPR 88.1-FM as the Season Media Sponsor. Vic and Nancy Romita are the production sponsors and City Paper is the production's media sponsor.
Everyman Theatre is a professional Equity theatre company celebrating the actor, with a resident company of artists from the Baltimore/DC area. Founded in 1990 by Vincent Lancisi, the theatre is dedicated to engaging the audience through a shared experience between actor and audience seeking connection and emotional truth in performance. Everyman is committed to presenting high quality plays that are affordable and accessible to everyone
Vincent Lancisi is the Artistic Director of Everyman Theatre; Ian Tresselt is the Managing Director.

First class gymnasium, Titanic, Belfast, March 1912.
Titanic's gymnasium was a wonderful innovation for an ocean-going liner. It had an electric camel, an electric horse, cycling machines and a rowing machine.
Tickets, priced one shilling, were available from the purser and entitled first class passengers to one session in this facility, under the watchful eye of the physical educator, Mr Thomas McCauley.
The gymnasium was open for ladies between 9.00 am and noon, and for gentlemen between 2.00 pm and 6.00 pm. Children were allowed in between 1.00 pm and 3.00 pm.
Passengers can "indulge in the action of horse riding, cycling, boat rowing etc, and obtain beneficial exercise, besides endless amusement".

The 'Wanderlust' singer also invites the anti-Vladimir Putin band to perform a song 'written for all enhancement of justice.'
Bjork joins the growing list of Pussy Riot supporters. The Icelandic singer demands the Russian authorities to free the punk band who were arrested for hooliganism following their performance in Moscow's Cathedral of Christ the Saviour.
"As a musician and a mother I would like to express I fiercely don't agree with them being put to jail because of their peaceful protest performance," Bjork says in a statement on her official website. "They are currently standing trial and facing seven years in prison for this."
"In my opinion the Russian authorities should let them go home to their families and children," she continues, before concluding, "I would like to invite Pussy Riot to join me in a particular song on stage: which was written for all enhancement of justice."
The members of the feminist band were arrested after they performed a "punk prayer" gig that criticized Vladimir Putin's "sexist regime." Three female members were taken into custody, while three others reportedly went into hiding from Russian authorities.
Other Pussy Riot supporters include Yoko Ono and Madonna. The widow of John Lennon issued an open letter, "Mr. Putin, you are a wise man. You don't need to fight with musicians and their friends. Please FREE PUSSY RIOT! And keep space in the prison for serious criminals."
Madge voiced their support for the band on stage. In a concert in the country, she covered her face with a balaclava, the band's trademark masks. "I mean no disrespect to the church or the government, but I think that these three girls - Masha, Katya, Nadya - I think that they have done something courageous," she said.
Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin was quick to respond to the "W.E." director. The former NATO ambassador branded the singer/filmmaker a sl*t in a Twitter posting. "Every ex-wh*re tends to lecture everybody with age. Especially during world tours and concerts," he wrote.
Putin himself said of what Pussy Riot did, "There is nothing good in what they did [but] I don't think they should be judged too severely."

What is Magic Submitter?
It's a link building tool – it registers accounts and post content on a large number of web 2.0, article, etc. sites quickly, making use of spun content (with built in spinner) to build links to whatever site you choose.
It's a good link building tool and can save a lot of time and effort compared to building the links manually. I've written a review in more detail here.
How much does it cost?
It's a monthly membership pf $67 a month, but there is a 7 day trial for only $7.
Is there a free trial?
No, but there is a very cheap $7 for 7 days trial. Click here to get the exclusive discount trial.
Is it a full trial for $7 or limited trial?
It's a limited trial – you will only be able to post to a selection of sites during the trial. You can buy both the trial and the full edition here.
Do the sort of links that Magic Submitter builds still work in 2016?
Yes. There have been a number of Google updates over the years, and they have discounted the value of a lot of link types, but I use this software to build links successfully – I've built them to this site, among others, and this site is on the first of Google page for the search query "Magic Submitter" in the USA, UK, Australia, etc.
I have built other link types too (most notably high PR homepage links) but spun content on article sites, comments, and other types of links that Magic Submitter
How many sites does Magic Submitter post to?
Magic Submitter posts to article directories, web 2.0 sites, social bookmarks, guestbook sites, directories, blogs and more sites. Currently there are over 5,000 sites that it is actively submitting (successfully) to.
The software is frequently updated (which is why there is a monthly fee) so old sites that no longer work are removed and new ones added.
How does it compare to other software like SE Nuke or GSA Search Engine Ranker?
It's similar to both in that it posts content to build links. I've written in much more detail about what's included, the good and bad points here.
In summary though, it's cheaper than SE Nuke and less complicated to use than GSA SER.
Is there a spinner/spinning tool included?
Yes there is basic spinner included – it's built into Magic Submitter. The core function is the submitter, but a good spinning function is included.
Does it integrate with other spinners, like Magic Article Rewriter?
With Magic Article Rewriter, which is also built by the same developer, it does directly integrate. You can also use spinners like Word AI or The Best Spinner and copy and paste the spun content into Magic Submitter easily.
Can it run through proxies?
Yes it can.
Do you recommend proxies?
Only if you are building large volumes flings per day.
Do you need to buy anything else / are there any other costs?
There may be yes. It comes with a built in spinning tool, so you don't need to buy one of those (although there are some good ones like Word AI and The Best Spinner).
The software will encounter captchas though, and you can either solve them yourself or pay for a service to do it. Luckily they are cheap – about $1 per 1,000 catch solves if you use DeathByCaptcha.
That's it though – no other costs.
Does it require a captcha solver to work?
Magic Submitter doesn't need one, but if you don't use a captcha solving service (it integrates with all the main ones) then you will need to solve captchas yourself.
Captcha Sniper (one time fee for the software) integrates fully with Magic Submitter too, so you could use that instead/as well for solving captchas.
Is it easy to use?
Yes – it's one of the most simple automated link building tools available. It comes with training videos and a guide too, which is very helpful.
The tech support is good too.
Does it come with any tutorials or training?
Yes – there are many tutorials, a detailed manual and videos that show you ow to get it up and running,the best link building methods to use with Magic Submitter, etc.
Do I need to download and install it on my computer?
Yes – or you can run it on a VPS, anything as long as it's Windows. The download is available from the Magic Submitter site directly after purchasing it.
Does it require Windows?
Yes – it runs on all versions of Windows.
Can it run on a VPS?
Yes – if it's Windows.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes – a 60 day 100% money back guarantee if you don't like it.
Can I cancel the subscription?
Yes – cancel any time.
Can I pay with PayPal?
Do you use it for tier 1 or tier 2 backlinks?
I use it for both. In my experience as long as you don't blast out too many links all at once with this sort of software, then you can use it on tier 1 directly to your money site. I start off building 10-15 verified links per day, then gradually work up, for a new site.
It's good at building large volumes of links though, so it's perfectly suited to building up tiers 2, 3, 4, etc. if you have them.
Can it be scheduled?
Is there a built in captcha solver?
Yes, but it also integrates with all of the main captcha solving services like DeathByCaptcha.
Does it take long to learn how to use?
It depends how familiar you are with this sort of software. It's probably the easiest to use of the main link building tools – much easier in my opinion than GSA and SE Nuke, for example, although they are very good tools too.
There is a detailed manual that I'd recommend reading first.
Do you use Magic Submitter?
Yes – I've used it successfully myself. I've also used a number of other tools as well and this was about the easiest to use.
It's good tool and I'd recommend it as a link building tool.
I've recently become an affiliate of Magic Submitter too.
Do you recommend Magic Submitter to someone who is building sniper sites and using exact match domains?
Yes. This site (magicsubmitterreviews.com) is an EMD and it's one of the tools I used to get this site to the top of Google.
I've written a review of the software here. There are also some good comments in the Warrior Forum about Magic Submitter as well here.
Is there a lifetime licence?
Yes – click here to buy the lifetime licence.

I know I'm getting carried away with videos today, but the news is pretty lame. NBA trade talk, NFL labor issues, Cam Newton is the next Jesus Christ, etc. You just kind of get tired of it. So it's Friday, we're going to do what we f$cking want to do right?! Let's focus on the Cricket World Cup…… ummm (crickets)
Anyway, I posted an article before that made mention of a huge bet made on the 2011 Cricket World Cup. My assumption is I'm not done posting about this event. It's interesting. (Feel free to interpret interesting any which way you want) Fortunately, I stumbled across this gem. This is what you get when you mix a Proactive commercial and cocaine. It's like a teen dating video, with a Facebook cameo. I can't explain it. Regardless, thing is beautiful man.

Anti-U.S. Protests Spread to More Than a Dozen Countries
A wave of anti-American protests broke out in more than a dozen countries today with some of the worst violence occurring in Tunisia, Egypt and Sudan.
Three people were killed -- two in Tunisia and one in Egypt -- as protesters battled with police who used tear gas and rubber bullets and sometimes fired into the air in an attempt to keep the demonstrators away from American embassies.
The protests, now in their fourth day, spread to other countries including Bahrain, Iran, Iraq, Pakistan, Afghanistan, India, Bangladesh as well as other countries. Some of the protests drew thousands while others only a few hundred, all of them angry over the movie "The Innocence of Muslims," an amateurish video that mocks the Prophet Mohammed.
In the Tunisian capital of Tunis, thousands of protesters swarmed around the U.S. embassy and several dozen managed the scale an outer wall and set fire to cars parker there. A flag on which was written the Muslim profession of faith was raised until security forces took it down. Black smoke from the fires wafted over the city as protesters and security forces continued a tense stand-off.
In Egypt, President Mohammed Morsi went on state television to denounce the killing of four Americans in Libya and the Muslim Brotherhood retracted their call for a Million Man March. In addition clerics during Friday prayers urged the faithful to remain peaceful.
Nevertheless, thousands poured into the streets around the U.S. embassy which has been reinforced with a concrete wall since protesters got inside an outer perimeter earlier this week to take down and destroy the American flag.
In Sanaa, Yemen, police fired shots into the air and lobbed a barrage of tear gas at a crowd of protesters who were trying to march to the U.S. embassy. In face of the tough police response, the crowd of protesters dwindled to several hundred people.
A squad of about 50 Marines arrived in Sanaa today. Pentagon press secretary George Little said the elite team was sent in response to the violence, but also as a precautionary measure.
There was little sign of government security in Sudan where crowds attacked the U.S., British and German embassies. They breached the German embassy and burned some cars, the Associated Press reported.
The demonstrators are blaming the U.S. government for the video about the prophet and want an apology from President Obama.
The State Department has been monitoring developments around its embassies around the clock and on Thursday a U.S. intelligence bulletin warned that the violent outrage could be spread to America by extremist groups eager to "exploit anger."
Libyan officials said several people have been arrested for the attack on a U.S. consulate in Benghazi. Four Americans, including Ambassador Christopher Stevens, died in the assault.
CIA Director David Petreaus told the House Intelligence Committee today that they believe a spontaneous protest broke out and that a militant group that possibly had ties to al Qaeda took the opportunity to launch an assault with rifles and RPGs.
The embassy protests have also inflamed U.S. presidential politics.
Mitt Romney and other Republicans said that Obama contributed to the unrest by giving "confused" messages in his foreign policy decisions.
In an interview Thursday with the Washington Post, Mitt Romney's foreign policy adviser Richard Williamson suggested that if Romney were the president, he would have averted the deadly attacks.

Chain restaurants might have several reasons why they haven't moved to Copperas Cove in the past, but the right to sell alcohol probably isn't one of them, officials said.
Copperas Cove businesses have the right to sell beer and wine for on- and off-premise consumption but not mixed drinks or liquor.
"If a popular restaurant looked at Copperas Cove and passed over it because of our alcohol regulations, we may never know," said Polo Enriquez, executive director of the city's Economic Development Corporation. "We haven't really had an issue of any restaurant or a food-serving place when it comes to alcohol."
Enriquez said there is more than likely other factors at play than the right to sell alcohol.
"No one has come to us and said that it is just too hard to open a club, a bar or a restaurant in this town," said Betty Price, president of the Copperas Cove Chamber of Commerce and Visitors Bureau.
Despite the city not having the right to sell mixed beverages for on-site consumption, there are ways around the law, such as operating the establishment as a private club.
Applebee's and Casa Ole both have liquor licenses as private clubs to sell mixed drinks, according to documents from the Texas Alcohol and Beverage Commission. The practice is common and the district, in which Copperas Cove is regulated, contains many such facilities, the TABC website stated.
TABC District 2 "is known as the Private Club Capital of the State, hosting more private clubs than any of the other four districts," the website stated. "With attitudes still present from the days of Prohibition, the sale of alcoholic beverages is still illegal in many parts of Northeast Texas."
The district is composed of 62 counties, including Dallas, Tarrant, Denton, Bell and Lampasas counties. It is harder for businesses to operate as private clubs because they have to provide more records, said Carolyn Beck, a spokeswoman for the TABC. The clubs have to elect members to positions and businesses need a whole other entity to apply for the club status.
Traditionally, club status is what you have at a Veterans of Foreign Wars post, she said. A nonprofit entity is running the bar.
Those establishments are technically not selling alcohol to their members; they give the alcohol away, and members pay for another service. Many commercial businesses operate this way.
Enriquez said the EDC has not actively sought to attract businesses that sell alcohol. It has focused on job creation and local business retention projects. He speculated about why some chains haven't come to Cove.
"I don't know what those reasons are, but right off the bat, I think availability of a site may be an issue," he said.
Before the Five Hills shopping center, space for chain restaurants along U.S. Highway 190 was limited. Companies may need to put several smaller lots together to have enough space for parking and other features needed for larger restaurants, Enriquez said.
Other factors that may drive restaurants to locating in certain areas are median incomes, rooftop and traffic counts and pass-through traffic, Enriquez said. He said he believes Copperas Cove rates favorably in these areas.
Changes in Gatesville
Gatesville, where residents recently approved allowing the sell of mixed drinks for on-premise consumption, only has one business pending a liquor license for on-site consumption with the TABC, according to its documents.
Generally, a couple of months is not enough time to see if regulation changes allowing the sale of alcohol has attracted commercial businesses to the area, Beck said.
Residents of Sherman County, which recently went all wet, also were asking why they haven't seen several alcohol-related facilities open since their new measures passed, Beck said. It could take one, two or maybe even three years for a business to secure property and finances to construct a facility if alcohol was even a reason.
About seven stores in Gatesville received licenses to sell beer and wine for off-premise consumption, TABC documents stated. Those include H-E-B and several convenience stores.
Price said those types of stores in Copperas Cove also moved quickly to start selling beer and wine when residents approved the measure for the city in 2005.
Those opposing the election thought the number of beer and wine shops would consume the commercial areas, Price said.
"There was a thought that there was going to be numerous beer and wine stores throughout the community, and I think most citizens know that has not happened," she said.

Fiddler on the Roof fiddles its way to Gateway Theatre
It's artificially bushy in early publicity photos, but David Adams had just a few facial-hair-growing weeks to look the part of Fiddler on the Roof's Tevye.
This week the seasoned actor sported five-week-old growth—performance-enhancing hair no longer required. The beard of Tevye is iconic in the beloved musical, and considering the acting greats who've played the role since its 1964 Broadway debut, Adams knows expectations for him go beyond the beard.
Adams has been diligently researching, reading and rehearsing his way to becoming the man at the heart of the classic story.
"The character of Tevye, he's quite an iconic figure because the movie musical, which came out in '71, was so popular and continues to be," said Adams in an interview this week. "He is a human being—an ordinary poor dairyman—but he embodies these large epic arguments that occur in the piece."
The opening of Fiddler on the Roof next week at Gateway Theatre will mark the 29th year the Minoru Park institution has produced a family-friendly musical in December.
The first run of the show—whose famous songs include "If I were a Rich Man," "Tradition" and "Sunrise Sunset"—lasted 18 years. It set a record as the longest-running Broadway show ever with 3,242 performances. (Grease later surpassed it.)
It's set in a small Russian village in 1905. Tevye must decide whether to allow his daughters to marry for love or follow a more practical custom of matchmaking. It's not the only challenge the family is facing. Rising anti-Semitism leads to a call for mass eviction of Jews in the village—including Tevye's family.
Adams, who last appeared in the Toronto remount of Electric Company Production's Tear the Curtain!, has had a long career in the performing arts, much of it built on his skills as a musical theatre performer. As an actor in musicals such as Show Boat and Sunset Boulevard in the mid-90s at what was the Ford Centre for Performing Arts, he's been a witness to a growing interest in the art form.
"It's been really great to see…how the musical has become quite a staple of entertainment," he said. "There's a real hunger for it."
As Tevye, Adams has had to transform himself into a dairyman.
"As an actor, I'm still convinced that while you don't have to have been the role that you're playing, you have to have something that you can identify with."
That something isn't his ability to milk a cow, but he has done hard labour, and there's a familiarity to the role in family.
"Most of Tevye's angst comes from his family, his daughters especially. I have two daughters, so for me it's very easy to latch into the emotional life of the character."
As one of the most popular musicals of all time, Fiddler on the Roof can still claim popularity today—albeit few professional productions are mounted given the large cast requirements. Gateway, as it does each December, has accomplished the feat by placing professionals in the lead roles and adding community actors to fill the other spots. The result is a cast of 30 and a live 10-piece orchestra.
Adams sees the play particularly relevant today in the immigrant society of Canada, where parents and children clash over old ways and traditions.
"I think Tevye could easily be a Sikh father, a Chinese father or a Korean father, struggling with the fact that his children who are influenced by Western society are forsaking the age-old traditions."
And although Tevye isn't a role Adams has played before, he has seen quiet a few Fiddler productions, and, of course, the film. One of the challenges in preparing for the role, he said, is leaving all that behind.
"You've got to forget about what you've seen. You can't really do it like those guys have done it, you've got to bring your own thing to it."
