Administration is the ability to mobilize human and material resources with systematic arrangement in using of human and material resources, situations and opportunities for the achievement of organizational objectives.
The main purpose of administration in any organization is that of coordinating the efforts of towards the achievement of its goals and to perform of executive duties, the carrying out of policies or decisions to fulfill a purpose, and the controlling of the day-to-day running of an organization.
In the daily administrative tasks of the school administrator, there are certain demands. Also there are different admin
istrative styles as there are different administrators in handling administrative issues.
Administrative processes are to ensure the sequential harmonization of organizational processes in achieving desirable educational good.

Peru Entry #3
Pisac Travel Blog› entry 3 of 5 › view all entries
I´ve completed one week of volunteering in the mornings and the kids have been great. I´ve been taking a local bus to the Clinic in the morning and it only costs 60 centimos (20 cents)....it´s crazy cheap here. I spent one day at the clinic, 2 days in classrooms at the attached school and today I did therapy with some of the children. Unfortunately I didn´t go in yesterday because I have an inflammed throat and bad cough....didn´t want to get the kiddies sick too. The children are all so sweet. Most of the 40-45 kids live on-site at the clinic because their parents are too poor to care for them due to their disabilities (cerebral palsy, down syndrome, mental retardation, etc). The older ones attend school from 8:30-3:00 and the younger ones (2-4) stay at the clinic all day. Many of them are non-verbal, so I wish I had brought some communication systems with me from home (PECKS)....sorry the Special Education teacher in me coming out there. Anyway, it has been a really fun week at the clinic/school with the children. I´ll make sure and take lots of pictures of the students before I leave.
After volunteering from 8:30-12:30, I walk home for lunch. After sharing great food with my five female roommates, we head into Cusco for Spanish class from 2-4 or 4-6, to meet with our Tandem Peruvian speaking partners, or to check email at the volunteer office, Macimo Nivel. http://www.maximonivel.com/ We have dinner every night at 7:30 and the meals have been sooooo yummy! I have been spending most of my afternoons with Aneesha, a 24 year old girl who is about to start law school in Boston, and Grace, a 19 year old college student from Ohio. We share a beroom together and have also been sharing lots of other great memories together. For the past five days we´ve been hanging out with three amazingly fun boys: Martin from the UK, Chris from Australia, and Luke from Wales. We´ve shared many great meals together, played lots of card games at local bars, and danced the night away at clubs until the wee hours of the morning. They departed yesterday, so we were all a little bummed today, but our own adventures here in Cusco will continue on.....
Since I couldn´t go to Puno/Lake Titicaca last week and Aneesha & Grace were climbing Machu Picchu, I did a city tour of Cusco on Saturday and then a tour of the Sacred Valley on Sunday, accompanied by seven funny, energetic, friendly Chilean medical students. It was a great way to orient myself in Cusco because I got to see all the main sites within the city limits for the tour on Saturday....the Qoricancha Temple, the remains of a colossal structure called Sacsaywaman, a sanctuary of worship to fertility at Qenpo, an old military headquarters at Puca pucara, and the Tambomachay baths....mostly historical sites. http://www.cuscoperu.com/cusco/travel-peru/022-classic-tours-cusco.php The tour of the Sacred Valley on Sunday was amazing as well. I saw several Inca ruins within 40-50 miles outside of Cusco....Pisaq (an old Incan city made up of stonemasonry buildings), Ollantaytambo (a fortress with temples and lots of hillside farming), and Chinchero (Inca structures and colonial buildings). I can´t even begin to imagine what Macchu Picchu will be like because these ruins were absolutely amazing. http://www.cuscoperu.com/cusco/travel-peru/023-valley-travel-peru.php
I´m exstatic because Grace, Aneesha and I are going to Puno and Lake Titicaca this weekend. I´m excited to see the lake and stay with a family on one of the many islands. It will be our last adventure together as a threesome because Grace will be leaving for the jungle next week. Aneesha and I will also try to go south to Arequipa next weekend as well to see Colca Canyon, which is suppsosed to be similar to the Grand Canyon. We may even meet up with Chris (the Aussie) again while we are in Arequipa. It will just depend on whehter the strikers are blocking the roads next week. Well, that´s all for now. Please continue to keep me in your thoughts and prayers as I travel throughout Peru. Have a great 4th of July weekend!!
Until next week....

Indonesian name generator
This name generator will give you 10 random names for 5 different Indonesian subcultures.
There are over 60 different ethnic groups within Indonesia, each with their own customs and often their own naming conventions, but most of them are too small to cover in a name generator.
This generator was quite difficult to create, not only because of the different ethnic groups, but also because there's not that much information available in terms of names for some of the ethnic groups.
This generator covers general Indonesian names, Chinese-Indonesian names, Moluccan names (and Papua names), Batak and Nias names (Sumatran) and Javanese names.
The first 2 names are the general Indonesian names. Depending on the ethnic group you will find different naming conventions with these names. They can be 'a single name', 'two or more names without a surname', 'two or more names with a surname' and 'two or more names with a patronymic name (father's name)'.
This generator uses two names with a surname. This way you can create every version.
The next 2 names are Chinese-Indonesian names. To shorten history, the Chinese-Indonesians had to change their names to encourage assimilation. Many Chinese-Indonesians chose an Indonesian-sounding surname based on Chinese surnames.
Later in history they were allowed to change back, but many names stuck, though many did choose Chinese first names.
The first names in this generator are also Chinese. Note that the order is surname, first name.
The next 2 names are mainly Moluccan names, but the Papua names are very similar, but with less Dutch influences.
The Dutch ruled the Moluccas for hundreds of years. Those with Dutch names or other relations would have certain advantages, which is why many Moluccans chose a Dutch (sounding) name and/or surname.
Islam also had a fair deal of influence on modern names, so you can find a mixture of Dutch, Muslim and Indonesian names in this section.
The next 2 names are Batak and Nias names, one of the few ethnic groups who do use surnames. Their first names are usually Biblical or in some cases Muslim or even Indonesian, though this generator sticks to Biblical names as some of the other names in this generator already use Muslim and Indonesian names, so you can mix and match.
The last 2 names are Javanese names. However, there's only a few dozen names for each gender. Despite comprising of 40% of the population, I couldn't find many (reliable) sources with names.
A major group missing from this generator are Balinese names. The Balinese use a unique system to name their children. All first-born are called "Wayan" or "Gede" or "Putu", the second born are called "Made" or "Kadek", the third is called "Nyoman" or "Komang" and the fourth is called "Ketut". Fifth children start back at names for the first born and so on.
This is a short generalization, as there are some variations depending on caste. Balinese do have other names, usually nicknames, but unfortunately I've been unable to find lists of names or enough examples for the generator.
To start, simply click on the button to generate 10 random names. Don't like the names? Simply click again to get 10 new random names.

His stunning illustration work has been featured in magazines from Newsweek to the New York Times, on the covers of million selling CD's and used in advertising campaigns from McDonald's to Coca-Cola! His fine art masterpieces have been exhibited from New York to Berlin to Tokyo! His tantalizing tattoo designs are a fixture on the walls of tattoo shops around the world!

Dislikes include: gallery owners and art directors who favor artists whose work is "good"! My God, doesn't "plays well with others" count for anything anymore in this crazy, topsy-turvy world?! Now... prepare to enter the wild world of "The World's Best Artist" himself, Mitch O'Connell!
Skinner is a self-taught artist living in Oakland, California who has meticulously crafted a balance of extraordinary mural work, bizarre and antagonistic installations while maintaining a prolific commercial career. Influenced by 80's pop culture, human struggle, myths and violence, dungeons and dragons and the heavy metal gods, Skinner's mind is one of psycho social mayhem fueled by a calculated chaos. His work has been shown all over the world in various museums, universities and galleries. He has been an ambassador of the alternative arts movement in countries ranging from Russia, Cuba, Japan, Europe and all across the United States. Don't be surprised if you see one of his murals on a small side street in Scotland or some tiny village in Russia. Skinner has and continues to bring his own very specific weird art to anywhere in the world that can handle it. Skinner's work has been celebrated in various publications including Blisss, Juxtapoz, Hi Fructose and Beautiful/Decay as well as numerous European publications. In the fall of 2012 Skinner launched his own art and apparel company called Critical Hit. Realizing that his art is better kept in the hands of people who appreciate it on a day to day basis, he applied his strange visions and humor to an affordable media where fans of his work can find giclee and silkscreen prints, his hardback book Every Man Is My Enemy, t-shirts featuring his one of a kind designs, custom toys and figures, patches, buttons, zines and more! Pay him a visit and see the chaos in action! http://shopcriticalhit.com/

Are these programs created in Excel
I am a retired chef and my hobby has become Charcuterie which is the craft of salting, smoking and curing meat products.
I have noticed lots of small programs relating to it and would like to know in which computer program they were created.
These programs are or the small standalone type where you enter a given meat weight then it calculates and displays the amounts of the various ingredients you need for that specific weight.
Much like an excel program, but without showing the actual excel sheet etc.,
Any comments on this welcome.
Many thanks

|26 Nov 2010
can you show us an example of one of these programs?
|My System Specs
|26 Nov 2010
Those could be almost everything compiled batch files, vbs scripts, Autoit applications etc.
Basically a simple conversion script wrapped in an i/o operation...if you could point one out I might be able to tell you more.
|My System Specs
|26 Nov 2010
I do not know how to load the actual program but this is a copy of one, I hope!.
|My System Specs
|26 Nov 2010
just can't tell from that.
something like that could be written in almost any programming language, using a whole variety of tools...
|My System Specs

Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit
I agree Mickey....................
It opened as a doc file but could have been written in just about anything.
|My System Specs
|26 Nov 2010
Well, what I see is a zipped (packed) MS-word XML application
I can't run it since I don't have MS Word and Wordpad only shows the form without letting me punch in values.
So it's a set of XML files that rely on MS-Office parts for the execution.
(if you open the file with Winzip or 7zip you'll find all the XMLs and the form itself as a PNG picture under word/media
Without getting into XML scripting it's certainly easier to create similar files in Excel.
|My System Specs
|26 Nov 2010
that's the new word 2007+ doc format, i do believe.
i'm no programmer, simple scripting is more my line, but i recognise a file format when i see it.
Docx differs from the previous default format used by MS Word, it is not a binary file that needs to be interpreted, instead, docx is a package of XML files that have been compressed together using the zip file format, a system used within MS Windows Explorer for its compressed folders functionality. When unzipped, the folder is found to contain several subfolders, all of which have at least one XML file used to store document properties, along with a single file under the 'Word' folder that contains the authored text.
|My System Specs
|26 Nov 2010
As you can gather I am not very technical and my last questions is:
Looking at the picture in the Word file would it be possibel to create this in MS Excel and display it as a stand olone program?
|My System Specs
|26 Nov 2010
i'm not a programmer, but i don't think so.
excel is for spreadsheets...and macros won't cut it.
you would need something like visual studio (express version is free), and learn how to program visual basic (for example).
it could be the start of something beautiful...
*edit* somebody around here was asking for programming suggestions recently - do you want such a program built for you?

My Reviews
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Elegant without being distracting.
Apple Simple Light
My New Favorite Theme Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Thanks for Apple Simple Light! After previewing literally hundreds of themes, this is my favorite because it makes Firefox browser look great without being distracting or making it difficult to read tabs and toolbars.
Very Creative Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Worthy of 5 stars.
Sun Rings by bg
Another Nice Theme Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Really like your pastel creations. Colorful without distracting from being able to read the tabs and toolbars. Would be nice to try these with white or almost white text...
Colorful P6
Nice Colors Rated 5 out of 5 stars
bg kreativ, I like your Colorful series, thanks. Is there a way I can change the text colors to white or a very light shade of their current color for better contrast?
FireFox 5 Solid Cyan Gray - no dark taps
Favorite Minimalist Theme Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Visually clean. Doesn't distract or get in the way. Everything is easy to read. Another reason I love this theme is it's one of the very few where the developer set background color to match the rest of the theme. This makes a HUGE difference with vertically aligned apps like All-In-One Sidebar. Otherwise the colors clash and make themes look broken/incomplete.
Rated 3 out of 5 stars
Patiently awaiting release 0.2...Thanks for recognizing the need for an extension like One Tab for Chrome in Firefox and getting started. However, with no updates to alpha release 0.1 since September 2013, is there still a realistic chance you'll have time for this project?
Minimalist Blue
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Minimalist themes like this one are my favorites. The fonts and toolbars are clear and easy to read. Those fancy themes often just get in the way.
TabGroups Manager
A Little Compassion Rated 5 out of 5 stars
TabGroups Manager may be awesome, but maybe we should inquire how the developer is doing after the Fukushima disaster before jumping right to asking for a new version.
Live Mailer
Thank You! Rated 5 out of 5 stars
I was tired of seeing Yahoo and Gmail as the only available options when clicking on a mailto link. Also, with the new Outlook.com, I no longer have the need/desire for a local email client.
Live Mailer worked perfectly for me. I clicked on a mailto link and it took me straight into an Outlook.com new email page with the recipient in the To: box (as expected). Thanks sebastian!
I predict this add-on will become quite popular if people can discover it!
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Perfection at last! Would love a few other colors to choose from. Thanks.This review is for a previous version of the add-on (13.1).
Clean blue
One of my very few Favs! Rated 5 out of 5 stars
I like clean persona, that don't distract from my buttons and controls. Also, unlike 99.9% of persona I've tried, you somehow managed to leave my All-in-One sidebar translucent instead of it being covered with some other often mismatched color. Thanks!
Personas Plus
Nice Idea But... Rated 2 out of 5 stars
Good concept, but:
1) I don't want to keep the add-on toolbar open (would rather have a button).
2) It can''t even show and let me select from my installed personas.
3) Ugly, low-res icon.
4) Worst of all, it seems to have broken the ability of my browser to display personas by hovering over them--even after I deleted Personas Plus.
Rated 4 out of 5 stars
Gorgeous. One of the most beautiful personae. Almost makes me not miss having transparency at the top of the browser (which no one seems to be doing) or on my side bar.
Rated 4 out of 5 stars
Very creative animation of beautiful natural waterfall. One of the few to leave some transparency at least on the sidebar and therefore one of the best personas.
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Well done. One of the best personas. Happy to see at least some transparency remains on the sidebar.

World of WarCraft or FFXI
Does anyone know how would World of WarCraft compare to Final Fantasy XI?
How many of you plan to buy it?
What are your decisions current FFXI Players?
Anyone here played the Beta?

World of Warcraft is so gonna pwn.
I'm a Blizzard lover, with me still playing Diablo1(!), Diablo2: Lord of Destruction (To sickening lengths) , Warcraft3: FT and Starcraft. I also intend to buy Starcraft: Ghost, and ofcourse WoW. Blizzard may take a while to make a game, but when they do, they deliver top notch quality work. Actually, now that I think of it, Blizzard games are probably the only games really worth buying, together with the Age of Empires series.
Just the thought of me being a Tauren and just Plain Running over the deserts, killing all things that come near me appeals so much to me.
Almost as much as me being a Necromancer riding my nightmare from town to town resurrecting things...
I can't afford not to get this game...

As for WoW -- It will get big numbers because its Blizzard-made, its not EQ (many ppl in EQ are very tired of it), Daoc honestly is pathetic and yet its one of the more popular games isnt that sad... (I played Daoc since release and Mythic is way incompetent and cant balance crap ... they boggle the mind in stupidity), AC2 was a flatout bomb, and SWG was a horrid release too thats only hanging on bc of the franchise name.
Daoc is just massive zergs of people and them exploiting whatever imbalances they can (which there are MANY thx Mythic). It's my belief that Mythic wouldn't be in business this long if they were this completely moronic, so I think its half idiocy and half they are intentionally doing round-robin overpowering to keep people rerolling classes and keep playing.

is Worlds of Warcraft going to have free online play like all other blizzard games? if so, it has a huge advantage over every other commercial MMORPG. although I am pissed that blizzard is doing this before a Starcraft 2.

I will most likely stick with FFXI ... and yeah i will comment.
I just think WoW is not going to beat FFXI when it comes down to complexity and system. There may be alot of gamers who think FFXI has "too much" but i like it that way... and really, i do not think that WoW will be that complex.
FFXI features just soo many things - Skillchain, Weather/Time, Subjobs, Crafting, Story, A lot of Quests, Cat girls , good support, Events, PvP... and it is still expanding trough expansion packs .... its like overly massive

Although FFXI is good, WoW willown it. I'm a huge Warcraft fan, and I thinkthere will be alot more to do in WoW than in FFXI. from what I know, they haven't decided a release date for it yet, so who knows what else they can cram into it, although I'm a bit concerened about the Alliance/horde non-party making, since me and some of my friends don't plan on being on the same side. :/

AFAIK, you wont be able to group with other faction. However, that's according to the beta server ruleset. I m sure there will be other server with different ruleset after release (which most people are guessing at the last quarter of 2004).

Not trying to sound like an ass, but what MMO games have you played besides FF11? I've played at least 8 and the only one I found more boring and pointless than FF11 was Lineage1. There is a huge disconnect in the combat IMHO -- the pace happens so slowly that I never got the feeling that I was really fighting anything. Theres also a ton of downtime getting between places even if you have a Chocobo or Airship pass, not to mention everyone hangs out in Jueno only past L20. Subjobs are also an annoying way to diversify your skills because it usually means grouping with inexperienced newbies again unless you happen to be at the same level sub as Linkshell members.
There is also no defining reason to level your character either -- once you hit L75 what are you going to do? Theres very little "end-game" type material. My other complaint is a lack of item diversity -- every wears the same things for their class/level basically -- L50s you get your Artifact armor and in the 70s you wear your Relic and thats it. My final complaint is the timesinks -- and there are many many of them.... Chocobo license, Airship pass, multiple quest levels for inventory and vault size, level limit quests, etc ... alot of pointless annoying stuff.
I find that most people stick with FF11 bc they are either new to MMOs, play for the atmosphere/friends, or sometimes just sick of things like EQ and DAOC and are waiting for "the next big thing"

Ragnarok Online, PristonTale, Fung Wan Online, Anarchy Online, Dragon Raja Online, Dransik, PSO, LineAge 2, a few koreanish one / japanese one that arnt worth renembering, and some really crappy ones that ive even forgot the name ( something with blade maiden or something, something with dunes or desert.. dunno )
I do not have played DAoC yet, but yeah, the skillchaining is very complex seing that every TP-attack has an element and different elements can chained and continue to be chained by magic ... about it happening rare .. it depends, if you do it right it will happen a lot. For example - different chars have different TP building speed. A Monk will most likely gather TP faster than a Warrior, so the monk can do one normal TP attack and then a chain with the warrior. So you can sorta work out rules, and you can always ask for the TP of the party members and then decide to either do it on your own or to wait for the chain, and i dont think its rarly happening.. every 2nd or 3rd fight a chain is possible.
I don't know when you have played, but the PvP seems very nice to me. I mean 6vs6 from different nations partied up with some special commands ... it seems sweet.
Its true that other mmorpgs have weather and time, but what game goes in detail with the time as ffxi does? I mean what game features different moon phases and day-types and the likes? With special things happening at special times?
Story Quests and expansions in every game? Yeah right.
Played Anarchy Online? Tell me a great storyline or quests in that game ... hah, the missions you do to earn your living might be considered as quests - but i find those even more annoying than the FFXI ones. ( go to there, kill person bla or retrive item alb, get your money - done )
Ragnarok Online? Quests? .. oh please, the only real quests are the mixing and the job quests....
Pristontale? Look above , same applies to nearly all the other games.
So i ask you - what has in your opinion more point in leveling: Ragnarok Online? What goal???
Anarchy Online ?? Pristontale ? Tell me a damn goal in one of them ( besides leveling your character and be uber strong. )
In FFXI there are boss monsters, the missions, the subjobs, chocobo, advanced jobs ... alot of things to look forward to.. and its just fun to go with a party and talk nice while killing stuff, its fun for me, really.
PLUS FFXI NEVER lagged for me, really never. Imagine the old RO days ect. its a hughe advantage...
And i think the system of FFXI is great too, that you can combine subjob with your normal jobs and the ways your character develops his combat skills and the likes..

I have played: Ultima Online, Everquest, DAOC, EVE(Beta), Earth and Beyond(Beta), RO, Lineage1(US Beta), Starwars Galaxies, and FF11 -- maybe I'm forgetting 1 or 2 smaller ones. Basically the other semi-"major" MMO I didn't play was Asherons Call bc I didn't like the style and was still into UO at the time I think. You seem to have played many of the poor obscure Asian MMOs.
Asian MMOs tend to be more light-hearted and catered to an "online graphical chatroom" kind of feel with little real content (RO, PT, Lineage, etc) and FF11 falls more towards that side. The only game of real "popularity" you have played that I could comment on is Anarchy Online -- which I think we agree was crap anyways. Lineage2 is much the same in overall gameplay as the original.
FF11 has some interesting things, but nothing innovative or new really. You can go all the way back to the early 80s Ultima games for examples of Moon phases and time being meaningful, plus many MMOs have spawns based on Day/Night or specific times of day. Games like EQ do the Boss monster/Raid material much better than FF11 and DAOC doesnt do that bad of a job with it either. UO you could basically do whatever you wanted with your character -- there was all the skills available in the game and you could choose to work up any you cared to and rework them at any time. DAOC also offers skill respecs that let you respend your points(limited to the spec lines available to your class) -- plus you deal with drawbacks .... if I go full weapon(50) and high dual wield, then my assassin will have low stealth/poisons/crit strike for example. Plus Realm Abils and Master Level abils open up 2 other ways to customize your character beyond this.
Specialized combat is much better in DAOC -- You have enough endurance to kill 1 or 2 mobs solo with styles before needing to rest (like 20 secs to regen end) and in a group you almost always have endurance regen to style indefinitely. Style attacks were based on many things -- Anytime(high end use), Positional(Front, Side, Back), and Reactionary(Evade, Block, Parry, Miss) with 2-4 followups usable after the initial style depending on the style used and what your level in the weapon type was.
UO didn't have raid/boss mobs in the normal sense, but more of a well-rounded virtual world experience -- FF11 falls short of fitting into this category however on a number of points. Mog houses aren't a meaningful implementation of housing bc they lack a physical placement in the world, other people cannot visit them, and decorations etc in the house serve no real purpose I believe -- you cannot interact with them I think? PvP is still very limited(Arena) -- there is no real struggle between the countries or danger outside of controlled sources(only mobs). While the crafting was implemented fairly well, the way everything is magically synthed and requires no tools is rather lame. (No Forge etc) With no item decay or loss you have mudflation too as Auction markets get overwhelmed.
As for lag -- you were playing Asian MMOs mostly based IN Asia -- of course you were going to lag like hell With the exception of AO(crap) and UO(no movement prediction bc it was tile-based not 3d) all the other MMOs I played were just fine on lag.
So I guess my final comment is that if you are happy then thats all that matters. But FF11 is neither ground-breaking or the best in any individual category or overall world presentation. I hope this was at least a brief overview to some MMOs for everyone.

Well, but what i do not like too much about DAoC is the fact that you can reach maximum level in less than one week if you are getting trained by friends .. a class mate of mine has like 3 or more maximum level characters ... i think thats just wrong somehow ^^;
The items in the mog house do alot - they give you moghanchments and more storage room.. moghanchments mean that if you get a bed you will loose less exp on death - just to name an example. there are alot more...
hum well... FFXI is for me the first mmorpg that ive played .. and if you played RO you should know how bad lag can get.. bleh, RO was horrible on lagg.. really...
By the way i played ultima online on freeshards, while it wasnt too bad it wasnt too good either... Pk's got annoying, graphics totally outdated .. it tries to put you into an RPG feeling where noone does RP at all, sorta senseless...
In FFXI you can kill Mobs solo too, it depends on your equiptment and food - if you are strong you can take on a even match, or 2 or more decent challenges after another, or just farm easy preys for exp .. but then again playing solo just isnt the point in FFXI .. you are forced to team up or you will level very very slowly...
Maybe i will add more later but right now im tired like hell T_T; after writing a 6 page long c-program, heh...

Well, its kinda different in DAOC -- getting max level (50) is only really the beginning...same is true with EQ. While I don't like the Master Level questing, its still extra enhancements you can get after you are L50. Realm Abilities would take you like a year of a few hours a day of RvR to cap out on Realm skill points to spend on them. And getting a character to L50 in a week takes alot of effort -- you have to have a very specific group makeup, fighting in specific areas, and need like at least 2 other friends helping for around 12hours a day for the week to do it.
For FF11 I assume you aren't very high level yet -- my roommate is a L55 Red Mage and he has commented on the fact that you can't fight Even Cons effectively beyond the Teens except maybe in rare cases. And by L30 its either impossible or incredibly not worth the effort.

I am in the WoW beta. It is very fun, but it gets boring on the orc side. The other side(alliance) had a lot happening, and during the period of levels 10-21 I jumped from over 3-4 areas around which were completely diferent(from a wrecked town/area to a forest, to a mountain town, to a giant lake to a swamp). On the Orc side, you start in a giant desert... then yuo go to the next area which is a desert(at level 10 or so) and from levels 10-25 you stay in this second giant desert.... nothing changes.... and you run around in the same areas you were doing quests 10 levels ago... its so boring a place too... just an empty ol' desert, arg!! And the Creeps there are annoying as all hell. I'm a mage, so I can only fight one at a time(annoying feature they added on), so I have to drag them from groups with lures. The problem is that in the barrens there are these flocks of monsters just running around that love to pop up when you don't want them, and even a monster that is completely invisible and undetectable until BAM, it comes out and attacks you(great timing they have as well). Since your doing levels in the same area as people 10 levels greater, with 10 level higher quests, you get to encounter monsters that can kill you with one swat, and it turns out that going outside the town yuo can easily cross levels by mistake.
Another mistake of the area(barrens/big area), is that at least 60-70% of the quests are collection quests(X amount of Y), which means the more in a group, that times more time it takes(if you have 2 people, it takes twice as long, because you have to hunt and run around to find the items on the monsters). That makes grouping dumb, which makes it harder to complete the quests, and since so many are in this one area... it takes so long to complete this hardly worthwhile quests(you can try to find other areas and quests, but thats a fruitless quest in itself). bad area, they got so many complaints new patch should be fixing a LOT. Especially since there are no trainers to gain skills(like mage and priest), so you have to run back to start, which is 30 minutes at least. I hope they change it.
However, the trade skill system is AWESOME! I love it to death, I was a skinner and leatherworker on the alliance side. And now I am a blacksmith/metal finder now(even though I am thinking about going skining again, but I will get to that soon). It is so much fun! I enjoyed Leatherworking more though, because to blacksmith, you need to around a forge in a town and the barrens does not have a forge . But there are tons of skills, some special recipes(worth quite a bit of money) floating around, and yuo can sell your stuff.
The problem with trade skills is that you sell at least 95% of what you make to a vendor. If there is one armor out there better then what you make, yours is instantly worthless. It still doesn't make sense to me, but I was a very high level leatherworker and I never once sold anything to anyone but a vendor, I was 3/4 out of the highest possible level of leatherworking and I could make some real fancy things, but I never sold a damn thing, and I tried a lot .
One more problem I have is that Mages can't wear anything but cloth... about 5% of all the armor is cloth, and while warlocks, and druids and priests of my level are wearing armors that are 34 points strong, I have a 10 cloak, and thats the best I can get for my level. High level cloth sucks, and so does all cloth. It may seem justified but it isn't. Not only that but only one boring trade skill is for mages, while all the other classes can wear tons more armor and weapons.
One cool thing, is that even though mages can only use sticks and wands(worthless...), is that you can train using skill points gained in combat to do more. I have a knife skill right now, and am carrying around a good dagger(does at least 5-8 times more powerful than some simple stick), and I am going to train for swords(you can only train in swords and knives for mages) soon, but it takes a long time to build up the skill points(why I am training in Blacksmithing) as it should, because it is pretty major. And there are many many other things you can put it in.
Different monsters are entertaining and there are quite a few bugs to work out, but so far the game is pretty good, if they fix up the orc side they will have one hell of a game going. I would get it later, but I can't afford to pay monthly for a game, so thats out. And the new systems they are implementing(and a few suggestions I asked for ) are being added in(DLing patch right now), its gonna become a whole lot funner(new PvP server has got a lot of people psyched!). If you have questions ask em and I'll be around.

I've played Final Fantasy XI and can honestly say that I grew bored of it remarkably fast. I agree there are an endless amount of things you can do in it but I simply felt that all those things were meaningless if I didn't find any of them particularly entertaining. It has a lot of complexity, terrific graphics, and a great control scheme (particularly if you play with a PS2 controller), but it just wasn't all that fun. But that's me. If you like it, great.
I haven't played WoW yet but I would like to. Blizzard is a talented company, even if they have trouble getting crap out in a timely manner.
The only online game that I feel is just wall-to-wall FUN is City of Heroes. Is it complex? No. Are the graphics better than FF XI or WoW? No and probably not, respectively. But when you're in a group of superheroes and you wade into a mass of baddies, with powers of all types flying across the screen in a chaotic cacaphony of bodies, particles, and you can barely tell what the hell is happening because it's simply that insane -- THAT is fun. I can't explain the exhiliration of seeing sixty -- that's right, SIXTY -- bad guys being tossed sky-high by the assorted powers of eight superpowered lunatics as they charge into them. It's simply indescribable in the sheer, unadulterated, mindless joy of it all.
Yes, you have to pay to play. But I can name off the top of my head over a hundred games that I paid a hefty price tag for, just to grow tired of them in a week or two. Or worse, beat them and feel no further interest in playing. Paying $12.95 a month for access to hours of wacky superhero / freakshow fun isn't that much. How many movies do you go to? How many movies or videogames do you rent? How can $12.95 a month be so bad in comparison to all the other things we do for mere hours of enjoyment? I sadly have to cancel my account soon, since I'm moving out of the States and can't take my computer with me. But I've absolutely enjoyed the hell out of three months of the game thus far and haven't stopped liking it for one moment. I haven't had to sit around for minutes at a time till my health came back; I haven't had to camp or travel for forty minutes to do some worthless quest that simply wasn't enjoyable at all.
And I like that. Choose your poison.

Alex Hunter's Ol Pejeta Bush Camp is set along the banks of the Ewaso Nyiro river in the Ol Pejeta Conservancy in the south of the Laikipia region. Low-key East African authenticity is the hallmark of the camp and the 6 tented suites are comfortable and full of character. Of the 6 rooms, 3 can be triples and 3 are doubles or twins and all come complete with warm blankets for the winter mornings, re-chargeable solar lights and en suite bathroom with safari bucket showers and flushing toilets. Thatched roofs offer a cooling shade and private verandas with safari chairs offer the perfect place to while away an afternoon. The two mess tents are cool and breezy and offer dining areas with impressive views of the wildlife at the salt lick on the opposite bank.
Ol Pejeta Bush Camp has ensuite tents. The style is of a traditional, simple, comfortable safari; the camp is built on an entirely eco-friendly design, there are no permanent structures and we make the camp's environmental impact as low as possible. Tents are furnished with single/double/twin beds (duvets and blankets), re-chargeable solar lights which last around 6 hours per evening, ensuite loos, washstands on the tent veranda, and safari bucket showers (brought on request, of any preferred temperature by guests at any time of day!).
See Above Description.
The superb Head Chef Gilbert Masha makes bread daily in the traditional charcoal safari oven (using eco-charcoal made on Ol Pejeta), and a wide variety of salads, meat and vegetarian food in camp and for bush breakfasts and picnics; he is famed for his curries, soups, cakes and puddings. We get fabulous beef, lamb and honey direct from Ol Pejeta Conservancy. All drinking water is mineral water, and wine, beer, sodas, cordials, juices and a variety of spirits are provided. Please let staff know of any special food and drink preferences and/or allergies in good time before your stay as supplies are bought in specially.
Game drives and night game drives, guided bush walks, sundowners and bush breakfasts are all available from camp. Additional Ol Pejeta Conservancy activities include: Private visits to the Northern white rhinos, visits to the endangered species enclosure, lion tracking and feeding time at the Sweetwaters Chimpanzee Sanctuary (each of these additional activities carries a $40pp charge)

"The last Russian soldier" must leave the territory of Ukraine, the President said in Strasbourg.
President Petro Poroshenko said that the decision to block Russian sites in Ukraine will be reconsidered after the cessation of the Russian aggression.
He said this in Strasbourg after the signing ceremony of a visa-free regime for Ukraine, UNIAN reports.
"I can say that immediately after the cessation of Russian aggression against Ukraine, immediately when the last Russian soldier leaves a sovereign and independent Ukraine, we are ready to revise this decision", – said Poroshenko.
In a speech in the EU, he also said that the decision to ban was taken because of the hybrid war informvoysk Russia.
"It is important for Russians part of this war is a hybrid war which is carried out information forces of the Russian Federation. Huge propaganda budgets are released to destabilize the situation within Ukraine and in Europe", – he said.
The President reiterated that it has caused some inconvenience, but time has shown that the government did the right thing.
"Now it is impossible to distinguish cyber security from Russian interference in the democratic processes in the democratic world and advocacy efforts that Russia is trying to send to us and Europe, and to intervene in our space, including through social networks", he added.
Recall that today the decree Poroshenko on the prohibition of the Russian Internet resources entered into force. Have become well-known providers that have started blocking sites.

Six days after Hurricane Katrina's landfall in New Orleans, New Orleans Police Department officers opened fire on residents crossing the Danziger Bridge. When the shooting stopped, a mentally challenged man and a 17-year-old boy were dead, riddled with gunshot wounds. A mother's arm was shot off, her daughter's stomach gouged with a bullet hole, and her husband's head pierced by shrapnel. Her nephew was shot in the neck, jaw, stomach, and hand. All six of the victims, along with two others arrested at the scene, were black and unarmed.
Before the blood dried, the shooters and their supervisors had hatched a cover-up. They would plant a gun, invent witnesses, and charge two of their victims with attempted murder. The NOPD hailed all the shooters on the bridge as heroes. Shots on the Bridge explores one of the most dramatic cases of injustice in the last decade. It reveals the fear that gripped the police of a city fallen into anarchy, the circumstances that led desperate survivors to go to the bridge, and the horror that erupted with the gunfire. It dissects the cover-up that nearly buried the truth and the legal maze that, a decade later, leaves the victims still searching for justice.
©2015 Ronnie Greene (P)2015 Tantor
"A poignant and skillful examination of a case that adds to the ongoing public debate about corrupt police practices, the militarization of local law enforcement, and convoluted legal decisions." (Kirkus)
A riveting account of what really happened on the Danziger Bridge
in New Orleans during the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina-and the lies fabricated by the NOPD. Reading this book I felt as if I lived through that day on the bridge and the aftermath, suffered the police lies and cover-up, and the trials. This is a must read book. Harrowing. The author does a good job detailing the facts and keeping his opinions on the sidelines, at least until the final chapter when he calls out Judge Kurt Englehart for some pretty gross judicial activism, which seems like well-warranted criticism.

Celebrating the Rhondda's first MP
The life and achievements of the Rhondda's first MP have been commemorated as the county's unique Blue Plaque Heritage Trail continues to grow.
The house at 19, St Stephens Avenue, Pentre, is the latest venue to proudly display the plaque that announces "history was made here".
Now owned by Bob and Carol Harris, the house is a former home of William "Mabon" Abraham, who served as Rhondda's first MP from 1885-1920.
The plaque for the house was unveiled this week by Rhondda Cynon Taf Deputy Mayor Cllr Simon Lloyd and current Rhondda MP Chris Bryant. His Westminster predecessor Alan Rogers and members of the community also enjoyed the day.
Following the unveiling ceremony at the house, which was fully supported by Bob and Carol, tea, cakes and a community celebration was held at the Comrades British Legion Club in Pentre.
Cllr Lloyd said: "Rhondda Cynon Taf Council's Libraries and Museums service has worked tirelessly for years to put in place a unique scheme that marks and celebrates the history of our county.
"We have a lot to be proud of and our iconic past stands us in good stead for the future. But we need to promote and share our icons and that is why the Blue Plaque Heritage Trail is so important.
"It is only thanks to the support of voluntary and partner organisations, and residents, that we have been able to identify the icons and ensure they are celebrated accordingly. This effort would not have been possible without the £49,200 funding secured from the National Lottery Heritage Fund."
William Abraham was born in Cwmafan in 1842 and became a miner at the age of 10. He was elected at the 1885 General Election as a Liberal Labour MP for the Rhondda as one of 12 MPs elected that year.
In 1898 he was a chief negotiator on behalf of the Welsh colliers in that year's coal strike and, although the miners were unsuccessful on that occasion, it saw the creation of the South Wales Miners' Federation (SWMF), of which Abraham became president.
He was re-elected in the 1910 election and he and other Liberal Labour members of the SWMF joined the Labour party. He resigned his seat in 1920 and died two years later, aged 78.
William Abraham is just one of the many iconic residents, buildings and events that are being celebrated thanks to the Blue Plaque Heritage Trail.
Residents have voted for their icons - from Treorchy Male Voice Choir, Dr William Price and Manchester United hero Jimmy Murphy to the Tonypandy riots and the medieval Castell Nos.
Thanks to the grant from the National Lottery Heritage Fund, the scheme has become a huge success and a number of plaques have already been unveiled, with more to follow. The blue plaques, indicating a place of significance, form part of a wider initiative to celebrate RCT's history and it is planned to introduce heritage trails, a website and information boards to interpret the scheme.

welcome to HW. So glad you have come here for support. There are many people here that come for the same reasons you did. I definitely know the feeling of denial and loneliness. The more you can learn about epilepsy, the less you will feel burdened by it. The more you will feel that you can help your daughter as well as yourself.
You described it right when you said "numb" - it was hard to describe the feeling when the doctor gave me the diagnosis and then I had to deal with it. You feel kind of frozen at first. Maybe it's because I sensed that people looked at me funny when they learned I had epilepsy. And I knew things were never going to be the same again.
But what has really helped me is to talk to others. To educate others about epilepsy. It also helps to talk to someone you trust about your feelings and how you are dealing with things. Like Kayakmom said- you develop coping skills. It does make a difference.
Be good to yourself. Take time for YOURself. This is difficult and you need to have energy to make it through this ordeal too. Who cares for your daughter in addition to you? Work together, you will be stronger when you can share the victories as well as the defeats. What does get easier is knowing that you've made it past one more medication change, one more test, one more appointment...after a while, you start knowing the routine.
Yes, you do need to be strong... but you need to be strong for YOU FIRST. So you can be strong for HER. Do what you can to reduce your own stress, eat right, get enough sleep, get HELP if you need it ( a sitter, housekeeper, whatever), have a friend help you with chores/shopping, etc. The more you feel in control of things, the better you'll feel and can cope. You ARE going to make it.
((((HUGS)))) Glenda

1) How can teachers improve instruction of mathematical concepts through mnemonic devices to enhance understanding of students?
-memory enhancing instructional strategy
-types of mnemonics: musical, acronym, and visual imagery
2) How is my webquest going to assist teachers deliver mathematical mnemonics in their curriculum?
-3 youtube videos of me singing (more will be uploaded in the future)
-3 image and 1 acrostic (more will be added in the near future)
-teachers can play and share my mnemonics to their students
3) Why is it that students can learn and recall information from music videos? Would a math music video project help recall and enhance their understanding of mathematical concepts?
-students respond positively to music videos because they leave a lasting impression that embeds images and scenes from the song's lyrics, which helps them recall the lyrics
-math music video project will be assigned to my Alg. 2 classes this year
-survey will be done by the students to see if they can recall the mathematical concepts presented in the music video

As someone who hated running with a passion but have always cycled, I found the issue to be in my head, when I was running there was always a voice in my head telling me this is ridiculous you should stop. I started out my target was run between lamp posts then walk to next one and repeat. It took a couple of weeks to build up to even running 1km. It took a long time however before I could ignore that voice although music helped.

whoever said they wouldn't recommend interval training to the OP is wrong, it's a tried and tested method for building fitness/losing weight (albeit not at a totally flat out pace).
Couch to 5k is basicaly intervals isn't it? Week 1 is run a minute, walk a minute for 10 minutes.
I can* run 5k, so I might join the missus on her's when she gets to about 3k and build it up from there. The perscribed intervals look a bit more interesting than just going for a jog. A bit like a club run alternating between hammering flat out at the front, trying not to die on the back, and recovering somewhere in the middle, is more fun than 4 hours on a road bike on your own.
*as opposed to 'do', I did the 'glupton 0-5k in under half an hour fitness plan'(tm), then got bored.
Check out you local Park run http://www.parkrun.org.uk/
Turn up give it a go see how far you make it, try again the week after..
It really helps motivation to run with other people (for me anyway).
Both me and Mrs SLR started these a couple of months ago usually do them every other week but the times are coming down. Her's has dropped by over 10mins to a respectable 30mins
Just for interest! Interval training at its extreme by one of its greatest proponents and one of the greatest athletes ever.
In 1954, Zatopek was now 32 and competing for the Dukas Sporting Club. Once more his military superiors called him in.
"Emil," his voice grows low and gruff, imitating an officer. "You have world record 10,000, 15,000, 20,000, 30,000, but no 5,000. 5,000 is Olympic event." The record was 13:58, by Gunder Hagg from Sweden. "Can you get it?"
"Please, allow me to practice in the woods, in the forest, on soft terrain," Zatopek told them, as he had previously when asked to make a record attempt. "Three weeks. I need three weeks. Two weeks very intense productivity, third week, less and less, and then to try for the record."
With time off from his military duties, Zatopek did the hardest training of his life, perhaps the hardest training ever. "I ran every day 100 X 400 meters. In the woods, 400 meters," he whistles, saying "arrhh," and making a face. "Then 150 meters jogging for recovery," he pants, with his tongue hanging out. "50 times in the morning and 50 times in the afternoon. Every day for two weeks. Oh, it was a lot of work." One hundred by 400 meters every day for two weeks-with warm-up and warmdown he was running over 30 miles per day.
Hey OP have you started this yet?
As a fellow chubster I have just started myself using the NHS c25k podcasts. I have completed two of the circuits so far.
The first time on Monday was not too bad. The second today (Wednesday) was harder but I think that was because I went out on my MTB on Tuesday - only did 17k but this included 350m of climbing. Enough too screw up my recovery from the first circuit?
Is it ok to mix cycling and c25k or am I inviting injury? - if the latter I may just up my cycling whilst the weather is nice and pick up the c25k in the Autumn. I would like to get good enough to join my local Park Run without totally embarrassing myself
I have also joined My Fitness Pal and am sticking to the calorie allowance they give out without any problems. There were some STWers on there a few months ago but they seem to have disappeared.

Immigration and Pro Bono
Once again, the issue of immigration reform has been thrust to the forefront of American politics. Currently, much of the news is focused on the controversial legislation recently enacted by the Arizona legislature requiring police to stop any person they deem "reasonably suspicious" and demand proof legal residence. There has been no shortage of news coverage (and news parodies) regarding the problems of determining who is "reasonably suspicious", and the questionable constitutionality of the law. On the other side of the immigration spectrum, Governor Patterson of New York announced on May 5, 2010 that he plans to create a five member panel to review and pardon (if deemed appropriate) immigrants who had minor or old convictions, many of which may have been committed decades ago. Under current immigration law, long time lawful permanent residents in the United States face removal for relatively minor crimes like shoplifting – even if those crimes occurred decades ago. While Arizona's legislation and Governor Paterson's new panel seem to be taking opposite approaches to immigration, the one issue they both demonstrate is the need for national immigration reform.
Immigration reform is a topic that comes up repeatedly in the United States, often around election time. But many people believe that in light of the extreme, and possibly unconstitutional, Arizona legislation, national immigration reform will soon become reality. Until such reform is passed, however, there are many ways attorneys who are interested in performing pro bono service can help immigrants.
- VAWA: In 1994, Congress included immigration provisions to the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) in order to enable legal and illegal immigrants to safely escape a domestic violence situation where they might otherwise fear deportation or other immigration related penalties. In 2000, Congress extended immigration relief to immigrant victims of sexual assault, human trafficking and other violent crimes who agree to cooperate in criminal investigations or prosecutions. Namely, VAWA prevents the Department of Homeland Security from deporting individuals who qualify for relief under the Act. Unfortunately, many immigrants who may qualify for VAWA relief are unaware of their rights, or are unable to negotiate the procedure of the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.
- Self-Petition to Remove Conditional Status: Many immigrants who obtain conditional permanent resident status for a two year period through a marriage to a US citizen may be unaware that should the marriage fail and the parties get divorced, the foreign national may self-petition to remove the conditions of his/her permanent resident status.
- Asylum: People who come to the US claiming asylum and escaping persecution in their home country require legal assistance to navigate this critically important process.
- Naturalization: Many legal permanent residents are not aware, or are afraid to file for naturalization and become a US citizen. In today's political climate, it is more important now than ever to inform legal residents of the naturalization procedure and benefits, and assist those in need with the process.
Attorneys can volunteer with the agencies listed below to provide assistance to immigrants in need. These legal services agencies provide the training and support attorneys need to represent foreign nationals in various immigration matters. Interested attorneys should contact the following agencies for more information:

Before the Bush administration invaded Iraq in 2003, then-Secretary of State Colin Powell warned of the "pottery barn rule"—you break it, you own it. His colleagues dismissed his warning and went marching into a war that has left us with instability in the Middle East ever since. That decision will be George Bush's legacy.
Somebody should have reminded the North Carolina GOP about the pottery barn rule before it rushed to pass House Bill 2—not that they would have listened. Republicans control all the branches of government so they own anything that happens on their watch, whether good or bad. It's the price of power.
Watching legislative leaders and their partisans try to blame Charlotte is comical. Governor Pat McCrory calling a special legislative session to address a local ordinance was already heavy-handed overreach, but loading up the bill with a bunch of discriminatory and unrelated goodies begged for a backlash. Now, they're crying foul when the world blames them for their actions.
This summer, the legislature spent eight weeks in regular session and could have amended the law or tried to reach a deal with Charlotte. Instead, they thumbed their noses at businesses, entertainers, and sporting events that threatened to boycott the state over the law. The GOP almost dared them to act.
Now, the bill may cost Pat McCrory his job. Instead of looking for a solution, McCrory, House Speaker Tim Moore and Senate Leader Phil Berger demand that Charlotte repeal its ordinance and take the blame for the economic fallout. That's no way to get to compromise, especially when the GOP is about to suffer political consequences, not Charlotte.
Of course the rest of us will pay a price in less revenue, fewer jobs, and a seriously damaged reputation. That's of little concern to the GOP leadership in the state. They're looking for a scapegoat, not a solution.
House Bill 2 has become our school house door. In 1963, Alabama Governor George Wallace stood in the door of the auditorium to prevent integration of the University of Alabama by African-American students. In his run for office, Wallace had pledged, "Segregation today, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever!" In standing by that mantra, he became a hero to reactionary forces across the country but he damaged the state's reputation for decades.
Like Wallace, McCrory and the GOP are defiantly standing astride the wrong side of history, pointing fingers and demanding capitulation from a culture and country that has them surrounded. Unlike Wallace, though, instead of elevating McCrory, it might bring him down. Regardless, HB2 has probably damaged our state's reputation for decades. And history will blame McCrory and the GOP because of the pottery barn rule.

No One Injured in Mobile Home Fire
With fire from ceiling to floor, Grand Island firefighters had challenges as they attacked a mobile home fire.
The trailer was destroyed in the Thursday morning fire. It was in the Kingswood Estates park, south of Fonner Park.
Neighbors called the fire in around 9:00 a.m.
All four Grand Island fire stations responded, and had some difficulty fighting the fire.
Shift Commander Scott Kuehl said, "The first initial attack was attempted, but the fire was heavy enough it was covering from ceiling to floor in the area of origin where we wanted to make entry, so we had to do a little bit of an outside attack."
With fire raging in the home, the obvious concern was for the safety of anyone who might be inside, especially since there was no smoke detector.
The shift commander said most fatal fires he's seen have been in mobile homes.
Kuehl said, "The name of the game is combustibility in these structures because they're lightweight construction, they go up really quick. Time is of the essence in something like this. That was our first concern, was there anybody in there, how long they could last in there."
Grand Island firefighters have enlisted the help of volunteers to go into trailer parks including this one, where they have installed thousands of smoke detectors.
And whatever the house, one smoke detector is not enough. There should be one in every bedroom, the hallway outside the bedroom, and on every floor of the house.
Kuehl, the shift commander, said the house is a total loss and 80 to 90 percent of the home's contents are lost too.
So much is gone, including hints about what started it. They ruled out electrical issues and cigarettes, but otherwise say the cause is undetermined.

Perhaps one of the most amazing gifts that many in our world share today is the ability to communicate great distances and to share ideas at speeds never imaginable by recent generations past. Thanks to Skype, FaceTime, and other voice over internet protocols, the exchange of information can be accomplished virtually at the speed of light. Skype Music Lessons are among the subjects that can be conducted through these media.
Some benefits of learning through Skype or FaceTime are as follows:
A. If you do not have access to a high quality music teacher in your geographical area, you now have the ability to get quality instruction at the click of a mouse.
B. You can have lessons from the comfort of your own home and on your own schedule without having to commute in traffic or long distances.
C. If you travel for a living, you can keep a consistent schedule.
Skype Music Lessons are not, however, without risk. Here are three elements that must all work together for a successful outcome:
- The internet connection must be fast enough
- Your computer, if not connected to the internet through a cable, must be close enough to the wireless router so that the signal is strong enough to support the data transfer needed for voice-over-internet-protocals.
- Your microphone must be decent. We highly recommend the Blue Yeti Mic on the cardiod setting.
- Your speakers or headphones must be decent enough to receive the audio at high quality.
- You will also need a webcam. Many, if not most computers these days have one built into the monitor.
Interested? Read below about our free trial lesson and then fill out the form to sign up!
Because the elements above must all come into play, we always recommend a free trial lesson with one of our teachers. You will find that some instruments are easier to coordinate through Skype or FaceTime than others. For instance, music theory, singing, and guitar lessons will be easier to conduct compared to bowed strings, such as violin, viola, and cello. Nevertheless, the challenges associated with all instruments do not outweigh the benefits if the student and teacher are patient and willing to communicate in a slow and methodical manner. It CAN be done!

Fairfax Virginia with visits to the District of Columbia
Fairfax Travel Blog› entry 4 of 8 › view all entries
After grocery shopping Monday I e-mailed my friend Getty to set the plan that I'd come down for a visit on Wednesday morning, but the next day he sent directions and suggested I leave instead at 6:00 on Tuesday night to avoid traffic. Concurring with his advice I started packing and left home at 6:37pm. By a quarter after eight I was on I-95 through the Bronx where traffic was moving at a crawl. At 9:40pm I stopped for gas, a rest, and a toilet break.
I-495 was so confusing! I got on the interstate heading west, but soon the signs began to indicate I was in the eastbound lane, and then north. It made no sense. I was looking for exit 9, but the exit numbers skipped from 15 to 7 to 5. Somehow I found my way out of that annoying trap and finally arrived in Virginia around 2:00am.
While stopped at a light the passenger in the car next to me, noticing my look of confusion, called out, "Hey" so I took the opportunity to ask for assistance. The two girls pulled over to help me figure out way to Getty's place. I exchanged numbers with the passenger, Bethany, and we set a tentative plan to get together on Saturday. I finally got to the house at 2:45am with the trip-odometer reading 419 miles.
I woke up Wednesday after a slightly painful sleep on the foldout couch, took a shower, and got ready for my day. Getty's uncle Kevin dropped off Getty, his aunt Sandy, neighbor Courtney, and me at the metro station for where we caught a train into DC for our tour of the city. We visited the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum, participated in Immersion Cinema, and watched an I-Max film that was simply wild! Back home, we had grilled chicken for dinner then went out to Castaway and browsed Tower Records.
Getty and I hit the pool for a while on Thursday, then went to Pho' 90 for dinner, where I tried Vietnamese food for the first time. After that we met some of his friends out at Clarendon Grill in Arlington. It was a hip bar with a live band and an out door patio, but the best thing about the night was talking to his friends about Virginia Tech. I was sure I wanted to go there for a master's degree after having spoken with some alumni about the school.
Friday we went hiking and Sandy grilled some delicious salmon for dinner. Getty and I stopped at O'Toole's for a beer and to say "Hi" to Bethany (the girl I had met coming into town). We then picked up Getty's friend Sully and the three of us had a fun night at Sequoias and a couple of other bars in DC.
Saturday I took a run on the paved path that circles through the wooded areas around the neighborhood. Later Kevin, Sandy, Getty, and I went to Thai Luang where I tried my first Thai dishes. Dinner was impressively spicy; it kept me warm inside all night. Getty and I went to Bethany's place that evening and she drove us into DC on the way to Adams Morgan. Frustrated with trying to navigate the busy streets, however, we parked the car and took a cab the rest of the way to Madam's Organ Blues Bar, a cool, unique pub that I'd seen featured on E!'s Wild On (a TV show about fun travel destinations and nightlife). We spent the rest of the evening at Madam's, and then went to visit Amy, a girl whom Getty had recently begum pursuing romantically. On the ride, however, Bethany and Getty started to get under each other's skin, so when we got to Amy's house we decided to drop Getty off there and Bethany and I went back to her place.
I woke up hung over on Sunday and Bethany drove me back to Getty's house around 4:00pm on her way to work. Getty and I had grilled chicken with couscous for dinner, rented Me Myself and Irene, and then checked out Tower again.
Monday I slept until noon, ran, showered, packed, finished my leftover Thai food, and met up with Bethany at 10:00pm after her shift. We each had a beer at O'Toole's before returning to her place for me to move my stuff in for the next two days.
We woke up poorly rested on Tuesday to get an early start at Paramount's Kings Dominion. We got to the park around 11 am, had a blast going on every ride and spending a couple of hours in the water park. We weren't done until twenty past nine that night when Bethany brought us to Sheetz gas station and deli in Manassas Park to pick up subs for dinner. I had a turkey sub with all the veggies, two kinds of hot peppers, and red pepper relish. Quite good, but I may have overdone it with the hot stuff all week. After we ate, I packed most of my stuff (luggage and cooler) in the car in preparation for an early departure.
Bethany had to work early on Wednesday so we said our goodbyes and parted ways at 8:45am. I made two stops off I-95 N that killed about an hour. The first was at a rest stop because the hot peppers from that sub were ready to burn their way out in a ring of fire. The second stop was for a new windshield wiper, oil, and coolant water.
Back in Bristol, I stopped for gas and milk and was home by 4:30pm with 815 miles on my trip-odometer. Wiped out from the long ride and lack of sleep, I checked my messages and e-mail, opened my mail, and took a nap for an hour or so. At 11:00pm, I woke up to finish unpacking and went back to bed for the night around 4:00am.

I was asked often during radio show interviews the last few weeks if Brian Roberts should hit first in the Orioles' batting order. I said I thought he should. But, as usual, Buck Showalter makes perfect sense when he explains why Roberts will begin the season batting ninth.
Buck knows best, I need to keep repeating that.
He mentioned this may be the best way for Roberts to get back into full-time duty for the club and that they can always move him up in the order later if needed. Not to mention that the club has at least two good options for the leadoff spot in Nick Markakis and Nate McLouth, and Nolan Reimold did well there last April.
The Orioles' No. 9 hitters last season had a .228 batting average and the AL average for that spot was .232. They had an on-base percentage of .294 compared to a league average of .292 and an OPS of .645, just above the .640 league average.
Roberts' career numbers show an average of .280, a .351 OBP and .764 OPS. That gives the O's the possibility to have a real strong No. 9 hitter - for as long as Roberts bats there - even if he falls short this year of his career numbers.
By the way, some players that were released from the Orioles' minor leagues on Friday posted some very nice and classy comments via Twitter on their way out.
Outfielder Adam Greenberg tweeted:
* I want to thank the Orioles for the opportunity this spring. It was a huge success. In 31 at-bats batted .355 with a .413 on base% no regrets
Pitcher Pat Egan tweeted:
* Its been a great 6 years with the Orioles. Forever grateful for my opportunity. Great organization headed in even better direction #Os
Catcher Joe Oliveira tweeted:
* I thoroughly enjoyed my time with the Orioles and excited for what lies ahead. Special thanks to everyone who's supported me
Some pretty nice comments there by those guys.
I am about to refer to a person here that can stir up Orioles fans like no other by writing just a few words. I am about to refer to Keith Law. I know that, when he speaks, O's fans seem to be glued to his every word. Personally, I respect his opinion greatly, but no more than that of others at ESPN like Buster Olney, Jayson Stark and Tim Kurkjian.
Law has predicted that the Orioles will finish last in the AL East and win 14 fewer games this season. Don't panic O's fans, or start the usual Law bashing in the comments section, or get too worked up. It is just an opinion but here is how he sees the East shaking out this year:
Tampa Bay: 93-69
Toronto: 90-72
Boston: 86-76
New York: 82-80
Baltimore: 79-83
I can't link his story, as it is part of their pay package. But Law wrote, "The Baltimore Orioles' 2012 season was a great story, but was built on an unsustainable foundation of luck and bullpen performance."
By getting luck and unsustainable into the same sentence, he is a candidate for the sabermetric Hall of Fame.
Again, take a deep breath. His prediction doesn't mean the Orioles will finish last any more than Olney's first-place prediction guarantees the club a playoff berth.
Finally, Dan Duquette proved again last night that he is relentless in his pursuit of baseball talent. While some O's fans seemed to diss the Freddy Garcia and, to a lesser extent, Scott Proctor acquisitions, you can't fault the man for trying to improve his team and add to an already deep pitching staff.
I guess you can never have enough pitching.
Keep in mind, neither player was signed to a big league deal and neither is even taking up a 40-man roster spot. If it turns out even one can help the big league club for even a short time at some point, good for the Orioles. If they don't, no harm done.
In what should be a close and hotly contested AL East race you will need all the talent you can get and sometimes one or two wins or one or two seemingly not important signings make a huge difference in the end.
Duquette never comes up for air in his effort to make this team even a little bit better. What is wrong with that?

The key to good lighting design is understanding the layers of light. Lighting has multiple purposes, which can be described as ambient, focal and decorative. Multiple direct and indirect light sources are needed to properly light up a space evenly and effectively.
Before you set out to find the perfect fixture, think about what you are trying to achieve with your lighting. Are you hoping to draw attention to a fabulous piece of artwork? Will your new kitchen be used for cooking, entertaining and socializing? Are you looking to brighten your home office? The answer will help you determine what type of light source(s) will help you illuminate your space.
Here is a breakdown of the three layers of light and what fixtures can be used to create them:
Ambient Lighting
"A light-filled space gives me joy and energy. For others a more cave-like space will have the same effect. It's all about finding your comfort zone with ambient lighting." - Judith Taylor for Houzz
Also referred to as "general lighting", ambient lighting provides overall illumination to the space. Ambient lighting produces a comfortable level of brightness without glare or shadows. Sources of ambient lighting include chandeliers, pendants, ceiling lights, recessed or track lights. Your lighting plan should start with ambient lighting, as it sets the foundation for other layers of light. Every room needs ambient lighting as it is what allows you to see.
Focal and Task Lighting
"Targeted to a particular area of a room, task lighting is intended to illuminate specific function." - Jill Connors for HGTV
Focal light concentrates brightness onto a specific area. This includes task lighting, which is a type of focal lighting that helps you perform specific tasks like reading, applying makeup, cooking, working and doing homework. Task lighting is especially important in bathrooms, where tasks like grooming and shaving require plenty of light. The point of focal lighting is to draw attention to something. Think about mannequins in a retail space or artwork in a gallery.Focal and task lighting should not produce glare or shadows. Track lights produce beams of light, producing great focal or task lighting.
Accent and Decorative Lighting
"Just because lighting is functional doesn't mean it should be boring. In fact, the right fixture can be so much more than just a source of light — it can be a source of joy and an artistic focal point." - Kit Waskom Pollard for Baltimore at Home
A favorite here at Lamps.com, we refer to decorative accent lighting as the "sparkle" in a room. The purpose of decorative lighting is to evoke positive emotions. The "sparkle" can be as simple as the shine that is produced from light reflecting off of a polished decorative element, or as elaborate as a crystal chandelier. This type of lighting is an expression of art. It allows you to make a statement, express your personal style and have a little fun with your lighting.
