How to write an acting resume?
February 23, 2011
How to write an acting resume?
Or rather, how to make my bare-bones resume not look so embarassingly empty and bare?
And a sorta ethical question.... and much anxiety...
I am really interested in doing acting for commercials and voice-overs (as well as print modeling but that's probably a question for another day!) and have basically no experience. I attend a large university in NYC that has several musical theater and acting programs but I am NOT an acting major nor have I taken any acting classes at this school. My school is holding a a free masterclass on the Method and Stanislavski System and although I have no interest in acting for theater, I think it would be
good acting training to put on my currently non-existent acting resume as well as a pretty interesting experience. I'm also currently broke so I don't have hundreds of dollars right now to take expensive classes (although I would like to and plan to save up for them once I get a j-o-b.) so free sounds fabulous to me.
I emailed the people in charge to ask if I could attend if the class is open to theater students only and they said 'Send your acting resume. It is open to all who have or are working on completing a Bachelor's degree who also have acting and theater experience'. Uh-oh. That brought two things to mind: 1) What acting and theater experience?! Is it even fair for me to try to get in on this class when I'm really not as serious about it as other students may be? If I am even selected, then won't I be taking a spot from someone who deserves it? 2) I don't have an acting resume!
Should I even bother to apply and potentially take a spot from someone else? If I decide to apply, how do I construct a convincing resume when all I have to put on it is my name, contact info, and an acting for TV/film class that I took 5-10 years ago? Or is that enough??
(Even if I am not selected to take this class, I will still need to write a resume eventually so might as well get started now).
I've found
online but still have questions. Is it really acceptable to write things like 'None yet', 'Same... none yet' under headings like the example does? Or to even just write 'none'?
site suggests writing a little about myself and acting goals but for online resumes only. Do you think that that would be acceptable for this program? I figure that'll be a good place to explain my lack of experience and let them know that I should have a spot?
I'm also a little worried that if (yeah, big IF) I get accepted to attend this masterclass that I'll be confused at some things going on and/or get odd stares and at the worst, rude questions from other students about why I'm there since I'm not a theater student (the students are a close-knit group, so they'll know).
tl;dr: Useful hints on constructing an acting resume out of thin air? Should I bother to apply to this class at all? Hints on dealing with awkwardness of not belonging?
Sorry this is so long and thanks in advance! :)

I would actually worry about getting headshots first. You can get hired almost purely based on looks and your personality, not experience. Start doing extra work if you live in NYC.
I am not an actor (though I know a lot of them).

who also have acting and theater experience
Perhaps I am missing something here, but from the sounds of it ("Uh-oh.... What acting and theater experience?!") this means that the class isn't, in fact, open to you -- because you lack the actual experience that is the requirement to attend. No?
I feel like you're trying to jump ahead several steps just because this master class is free and you have a feeling you would like to do commercials and voice overs
(both of which can be just as competitive, in terms of auditions, as any other acting job -- not saying that to be discouraging, but just FYI)
. Start from the beginning: take an acting class for beginners. If you have to wait awhile till you can afford it, then... you have to wait awhile till you can afford it. Learn how to go on an audition, so that you can actually get some experience. See if you can get some work as an extra in the meantime. Then you can actually start building a resume out of something other than thin air. But this feels a little bit of a case of putting the cart before the horse.

It's perfectly fine to list just your classes at this time. However, I'm not sure that Method/Stanislavski is going to be the right thing for you if you have little acting experience under your belt. Both types of training are really intense and take a real commitment to the role, so even though it's free, it might be better to find some community theater productions or extra work to get you more into the game before you try the more advanced training techniques.

elpea, I thought that extra work should not be put on a resume...? Or do you just mean to get general experience and network? Yeah, I definitely have been meaning to sign up for Central Casting for the longest time and will drag myself there on Tuesday! :)
scody, Yup, the word 'free' makes me happy! But I also think its pretty interesting... it's not something I'd normally do and it would be a fun way to spend the afternoon. I did take an acting class for film/TV but that was several years ago... I'll try looking for low-cost classes.
Thanks for the info thus far! Keep it comin'! ;)

You don't actually want to take this class. The acting technique they are teaching is not very good for commercial or voice over work -- it stresses realism over presentation (voice and body work). I've been trained in Stanislavski - it's a great technique for deepening the emotional connection to a role -- but sometimes at the expense of presentation polish (realism over looking/sounding good). It's also not a beginner technique -- I had three years of training before I got serious Stanislavski stuff. The class is explicitly for people with this experience, and who will be able to work at an advanced level.
If you want to act in Ibsen, take this class -- after you have done other acting training. If you want to do the commercial, voice over or print modelling work, get a portfolio together and start looking for an agency that will represent you.

Listen, a working actor's resume is not a place to explain your lack of experience. If you don't have it, you don't list it. You do
put casual phrases like "None Yet . . . Just Starting in Hollywood" under categories in which you have no experience; you simply do not list those categories. And I say this having worked with child actors with thin resumes (admittedly, in Los Angeles).
Having said all this, don't feel awkward. You've got to overcome this and give what you clearly love to do a shot. Everyone's afraid, it's what you do with the fear that matters. You think the cool kids aren't shitting bricks? Call this person back and tell them you don't have much of a resume but are still really interested in taking the class. Don't be afraid to show enthusiasm. This is hands-down the best way to get people to respond to you. If you get stared down by this "tight-knit community," so the fuck what. Try to make friends with some, and fuck the haters. I know some
successful VO artists and trust me when I say they aren't the "popular" kids - whatever the hell that means.
Whether this class is right for you, I dunno. 95% of masterclasses are a joke if you want my honest opinion. But you should definitely continue to pursue free opportunities like this with enthusiasm. And connect, connect, connect. Don't be shy about needing things.

This doesn't sound like a very good reason to try to take the class. I also agree with others who've said that Stanislavsky is really not where you want to start your acting training if you really have no experience with performance whatsoever.
Doing this workshop would be a huge waste of your time, and if it involves an element of participation rather than just listening to a lecture, it's also likely to be a waste of everyone else's time, too.
If you don't have any acting experience and think it's something you'd like to try, why not look around your school for casting notices for school productions? When I went to a college with active theatre and film programs, there was always someone looking to do a staged reading or make a student film. Even as a freshman who wasn't yet eligible to audition for most of the official school productions, I went on multiple auditions a week and got tons of experience. If you do that, you will soon have plenty of acting experience to list on your resume.
This is outside the purview of your question, but I think it's a bit premature to decide that you specifically want to do commercials and voice-over work. You can't really decide what specific kind of acting you want to do until you've actually tried acting.

Theatre students are a close-knit group because they're the ones who stuck it out. While their friends and fellow aspiring actors fell off over the years because they weren't good enough and/or wanted a job that earned a respectable living salary, they're still slogging it out, paying top tuition dollars to pursue their dream, knowing that most of them will still wind up not succeeding at it. They're close-knit because of their shared experience, because they didn't take shortcuts.
If I were a full-time acting student and if (and, let's be honest, it's a
if) a spot in a Master Class was given to someone who was taking it as a matter of curiosity instead of one of my fellow travelers, then yes, I'd be giving you more than an odd stare.

Let's be honest here, you are using this opportunity to discourage someone you don't even know from doing something out of the ordinary, and without any particular insight into anything. I think your take on what full-time acting students are thinking is pretty useless.
It should be added that master classes these days are far more common than their name would lead you to believe, and are often a platform for so-called "experts" working in the field to promote their services, products, or a vendor, as well as of course their ideas, to young people in the field.
Nowhere in this post has it been said that seating is limited for this event; this idea that you will be receiving presumptuous stares from strangers has been produced out of thin air. Why would anyone allow you to attend this class with little or no credits only to make you feel really uncomfortable and suggest to you that you are taking opportunities away from deserving actors -
whomever the hell they are.
Unbelievable. This type of wait-your-turn bullshit is propagated by losers. End of story.

After reading the responses here and thinking it over, I realize that this class is not for me and I will not apply. Since I don't really have background training in Method or Stanislavski, I will likely find the class confusing plus this not the sort of training I need if I want to do commercial and voiceover work (thanks jb!). I figured that it might be the sort of class that would provide a great foundation and be useful in any acting scenario but that seems to not be the case, judging from everyones responses here.
I would still love to get more feedback on the issue of creating a resume though, seeing as I will have to make one eventually! (yes phaedon, I was really surprised that those silly things like 'none yet' were listed as examples. Thanks for clarifying my doubts that those are unprofessional!) Thanks for the feedback all!

Take a beginning acting class at your school and apply for roles on
. A lot of student filmmakers cast through that website, and it's a good way to get experience for your resume and clips for your reel. (Of course, once a project is over, you might have to chase down the director for a copy. Don't be afraid to be pushy.)
Don't worry about your resume looking sparse right now. Everyone has to start somewhere. Central Casting isn't worried about your experience. They just want faces and bodies. Since you don't have experience right now, go crazy with your "Special Skills" section. Every sport and instrument you play, language you speak, dance you know, etc. should be listed. Do you do any accents? Impersonations? Write them down. Sutton Foster used to list her dinosaur impersonation. If anything, it's something to talk about during your audition.

i just want to confirm a lot of the comments and suggestions other people have already made upthread. creating and maintaining an actor's resume is a fairly mechanical process. there's not much room to "look convincing" as there would say in a normal professional resume. if you're just getting started and concerned by all the white space, yes, you may want to employ a creative way to fill it up, by itemizing your classroom experience and by listing a long skillset. by listing categories with headings like film, television, commercials and writing underneath them "None." (not a huge fan of this, but hey. i guess it eliminates the confusion of looking at a blank piece of paper.)
just dont get too silly. you want to try to remain respectful. also, you dont list extra work on an acting resume.
as to what scody said, if you're looking at VO and commercial/print work because its easier, well. i'll give you benefit of the doubt that you're not thinking this.. but its not. of course there is a style, a look, a sound that might make you very successful in these "secondary" categories. but these are definitely very competitive aspects of the business and the downturn in the economy hasn't made it any easier for young actors who are competing with established names in fields they didn't have to 10-15 years ago.
get into it. take classes.
is reputable here in los angeles, maybe you can call them and let them know you're in NY and looking for something comparable.
representation is also essential. and of which there are a variety - agents will typically focus on one of the three categories - theatrical, commercial, or voiceover - while managers will represent you across the board. you won't be considered or represented without headshots (if not two or three), or in the case of VO, a reel (if not two or three). VO classes are a great place to make a reel and get input on it. im obviously talking about two things at once here, but once you get the ball rolling on your acting career you can even submit yourself on projects via
actors access.
at your age credits are not a critical factor but as you get older having credits does matter. so get to work.

I won't contradict the advice in this thread specific to acting training, but I will address this point: "won't I be taking a spot from someone who deserves it?" It's not your job to say whether you "deserve" the spot, it's theirs. If this is something you want, and you represent yourself honestly, you should have no concerns whatsoever about deserving the opportunity. That's why there's an application process.
They've made their selection guideline clear: "It is open to all who have or are working on completing a Bachelor's degree who also have acting and theater experience." Plus, it's a free class. I'd say the bar is pretty low. If you have absolutely no acting experience (high school plays? acting classes?), then yeah, you can select yourself out. But if you're passionate about the subject and have modest examples, you can be assertive in a resumé without being dishonest. Consider the extreme: apply with an empty resumé and a cover letter. What's the worst that'll happen? You won't get in? You won't get in if you don't apply, too.
I once applied for a free-by-invitation one-day conference on founding a software company. I had no solid ideas for products or business models, but it was something I wanted. I put a half-baked idea on my application, stated it assertively, and I got an invitation. The conference was a great experience, and I don't feel I wasted anybody's time or space. Everyone there had "half-baked" ideas and were wishy-washy about taking a risk on starting their own company. We all deserved to be there.
I've denied myself too many opportunities with the "someone deserves this more than me" logic, and I regret every one.

Seconding zerbinetta (and myself, upthread) that student films and productions are the way to go to fill out your resume. Having made a lot of (embarrassing) student films in my day, I will say that oftentimes they are mainly casting a type, an interesting face, etc. The worst that could happen would be that you would have a lot of lines to learn.
Theatre, too, even though you say you aren't interested, is a good place to get experience. For one thing, plays are much more likely than films to have a large cast including actors with bit parts. For another thing, there are skills as a performer that you can really only learn on stage in front of an audience. When you eventually go on professional auditions for commercials or whatnot, a lot of your fellow auditioners will have theatre experience and thus the tools that come with that.
One thing that background work will do for you is to put you in touch with fellow actors. A lot of actors work regularly as background, and usually you're not the only extra on board for the day. Since most of what extras do is sit around and wait, you will have tons of time to bond and gossip with the other background actors. You'll start to hear where people take classes, where to look for casting notices, how to start dealing with headshots and maybe an agent. Even if none of that stuff ever pans out for you, you will eventually start to feel like one of the gang, rather than all this insecurity about "people who really deserve to be here".

Londonderry Inventioneers strike a deal during Shark Tank appearance
The Inventioneers showed off their most recent prototype of the SMART Wheel, a patented electronic steering wheel cover that detects distracted driving. (APRIL GUILMET PHOTO)
"We'd often joke about it, about what we'd do if we got a chance to be on the show," said Tristan "T.J." Evarts, 17, one of the founding members of the Inventioneers. The group is a FIRST Lego League team whose award-winning invention, the SMART Wheel, is due to go into production later this year.
"Be careful what you wish for," said Evarts, who created the driving safety device with the help of teammates Emily Balcom, 16, Kate Balcom, 15, Bryeton Evarts, 12, Jaiden Evarts, 13 and Paige Balcom, 18.
The SMART Wheel is an electronic steering wheel cover that senses driver hand position and provides instant feedback to alert the driver to unsafe positioning. The Inventioneers are the reigning FIRST Lego League world champions and New Hampshire's four-time reigning state champions.
Over the past four years the team has obtained four provisional patents on its inventions and the SMART Wheel has been test driven at the White House by both President Barack Obama and U.S. Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood.
With such an impressive resume, it turns out the talented teens didn't have to track down the producers of Shark Tank. The producers found them.
Technically, the producers called the Inventioneers not once, but twice. When the producers of the show contacted the six home-schooled kids in 2011, the teammates decided to hold off on Hollywood for the time being, opting instead to further refine their invention. But when the show called again last May, the Inventioneers were finally ready for the small screen.
This past September the teammates and their parents spent a week in California for the production of a Shark Tank episode. The TV series features a panel of entrepreneurs and business executives who consider offers from inventors seeking hefty investments for their products, inventions or businesses.
According to team member Kate Balcom, the show's producers chose the Inventioneers from a pool of over 30,000 applicants.
Filming on Season Four, Episode 16 wrapped in just a day, with much preparation and Skypeing with show producers in the weeks leading up to the big moment.
"We wanted to make sure our sales pitch was perfect," Evarts said.
The toughest part of the show was the question-and-answer session, as the teammates were put on the spot in front of the cameras.
"It was really about pitching our product, showing what the program is about and letting our personalities shine through," Evarts said. "I felt pretty confident about it."
Several weeks after filming the episode, Hollywood film crews arrived in Londonderry to shoot footage of the teammates. From there, the teens were sworn to secrecy about the episode's outcome until the show aired last week. Not even Lisa Evarts, one of the team's adult advisors, knew what happened in front of the camera until then, as parents weren't allowed at the show's filming.
Fortunately, the teammates, who all share a close bond, had each other to share their nervous excitement with.
"It's definitely good that we were able to talk to each other and talk often," T.J. Evarts said.
Appearing before the judges, there were definitely some tense moments. One judge challenged them by noting the SMART Wheel doesn't actually stop drivers from taking their hands off the wheel, it only alerts them. T.J. Evarts calmly informed the sharks that President Obama had tried out the product and even requested a SMART Wheel for the first daughters. T.J. and his teammates had the pictures to prove it.
Robert Herjavec and Mark Cuban partnered to give the Inventioneers $100,000 for a 30-percent stake in the SMART Wheel. The episode is online at http://abc.go.com/shows/shark-tank/.
For more information on the SMART Wheel, visit the team's website at smartwheelusa.com.

"The Official Secrets Act is not there to protect Secrets, it is there to protect Officials."
"That's another of those irregular verbs, isn't it? I give confidential press briefings; you leak; he's being charged under section 2A of the Official Secrets Act."This is what you break when you leak UK government secrets to the media. (It is also the legislation that covers spies and other more serious breaches of secrecy than "the minister for health called the pop celebrity "poofy"" level stuff that tabloids love.) Its enforcement is famously spotty and erratic when it comes to media leaks; for example, a document that is generally positive toward the government will not get investigated, even if it cannot legally be released. Yes, Minister explains quite well why you never tend to see the leaker's name published.
— Bernard Woolley Yes, Minister
"If the leaker is an official, then you can't publish because that is not fair. Ministers are there to take the blame. Conversely, if the leaker is a Minister, you can't publish because if you do, he will reveal all the other leaks he knows about. But mostly you can't publish because the leak came from ..." Indicates upward, signifying the Prime Minister's Officenote .This is not quite as accurate anymore but still has a certain truth to it. In order to commit an offence you must be aware that telling people is an offence, the disclosure must cause harm to the UK or her interests and you must know or should know that harm could occur from it. There are certain reasons you can break the act, but since the 1989 version every politician's favourite get out clause "it was in the public interest" is no longer a valid defence. "Signing the Official Secrets Act" is a common expression, but only done these days for security-cleared posts and it applies regardless.

iPhone Buyer's Guide
(Contributor: Ryan Kuo)
Nobody expected this from Apple. With a smaller percentage of users than Windows, Mac computers have never been a hotbed of videogame activity, and they've tended to be closed systems -- meaning that it's nearly impossible to swap out and customize components like graphics and sound cards.
Naturally, people assumed the same level of game unfriendliness would apply to the iPhone. And, though a few games were part of the App Store's launch, it seemed like games would be an afterthought to productivity software. Now, game content, which still feels like a missed opportunity on Apple computers, has made the iPhone and iPod Touch feel like vital platforms that developers have to address.
- Scads of inexpensive new content on a regular basis
- Slick design; excellent touch-screen interface
- More and more games let you play to music from your own library
- Ability to purchase content on the go and back it up on your computer
- Great multimedia player and organizational tool
- No good way to sift through the tons of game apps
- Gaming on the iPhone or iPod Touch drains the battery drastically.
- Sync process is still confusing.
- No Flash support for the devices' browser means incompatibility for many Web-based games.
Ever since it helped start the personal computer revolution in the 1980s, Apple's been infamous for the cultish fanaticism of its devotees. It wasn't first-to-market with an MP3 player, but the iPod's emphasis on aesthetics and ease-of-use made the device synonymous with a portable media lifestyle. Rumors of a full-screen, touch-sensitive device joining the iPod family brewed for years; and the iPhone launch in 2007 set a new standard for technolust -- with lines snaking around Apple stores in the days leading up to release. The iPod Touch -- bearing the same features as the iPhone without the telephony elements -- debuted later that year, and both devices have had storage updates and redesigns since then. Most recently, the iPhone 3GS debuted in 2009 with a number of hardware and performance improvements.
iPhone 3G
From advertising to packaging, Apple's a company known for its design sensibilities, and its portables don't disappoint on that front. The one-button design keeps things simple and elegant. iPhone and iPod Touch sport impressively scratch-resistant glass for their touch-screens, too. The latest redesigns keep the chrome frame around the screen, but, with the iPhone 3G's plastic enclosure, only the newest Touch sports a shiny metal backside.
Infamous for?
The occasional processing hitches that prevent your finger taps and drags from registering. It's one thing to lose a Tetris game when you plan poorly, but a block not going where you want it go because of flaky response just isn't cool.
Apple's approval process for the App Store seems to operate by mysterious, seemingly arbitrary guidelines. iPhone and iPod Touch users eagerly awaiting the latest game or app from their favorite developer will have to get used to being in the dark -- submitted apps can hang in limbo for months before being released in the App Store, and apps already in the Store can be removed without warning.
Recent updates to iTunes have made it easier to back up your apps, but this is still more confusing than it could be. It's way too easy to attempt to "sync" your iPhone or Touch to your computer and find that swathes of your library have been erased and must be re-downloaded.
And the Touch still doesn't have a camera! (Cue the snickering from Nintendo DSi owners?)
You've got the touch
iPhone/iPod Touch games
The key element that makes the iPhone an exciting game platform is the low barrier to entry for developers. Enrolling in the iPhone Development Program can be as inexpensive as $99, so anyone with the cash and the will to code can submit their applications for approval. This creates an environment where innovative, idiosyncratic gameplay ideas can gestate without the interference of a corporate committee, harking back to the plucky garage-coders of the early PC gaming era. Unfortunately, this also means any hack can poop his/her shovelware onto the system, too, and there are a lot of craptastic games clogging the App Store pipeline.
Pocket power player
iPod Touch
By now, even the casual techie knows about the intuitive pinch, swipe and tap controls on Apple's handhelds. (And yes, all the dirty jokes have been made.) They also offer a first-rate mobile Web-browsing experience, closely mimicking that of a desktop computer and hampered only by the above-mentioned lack of support for Adobe's Flash protocol. With iTunes functionality, the iPod Touch and iPhone benefit from all the cross-platform support Apple offers. Whether you download music, television shows or movies to your computer or directly to the device, you'll be able to transfer them back and forth via wired sync. Some third-party applications (like Simplify Media) let you connect remotely to content on your computer, so you won't have to worry about trying to cram 80 GB of Depeche Mode music videos onto your 16 GB iPhone.
YouTube support's a big selling point for iPhone and iPod Touch, but videos need to be specially compressed in order to be viewed on the devices. So, you may have to wait until you're back in front of a computer to watch that chubby lightsaber kid for the zillionth time.
Last but not least, potential purchasers will thrill to the hundreds of thousands of applications in the App Store. Those "There's an App for That" commercials may be annoyingly smug, but they're right. Damn them. Some of those apps -- like the 1337pwn app for tracking Xbox Live friends -- will even support the hardest of hardcore gaming habits. Damn them again!
Playing cheap
Price drops and lightning sales are rampant on the App Store. It's not uncommon to purchase a game for $4.99 only to find that it has temporarily dropped to $0.99 the following week. Many games launch at $0.99 only to never again go on sale.
Currently, the best solution for tracking App Store sales -- besides keeping up with gaming news sites -- is a free app called PandoraBox. The app notifies you of price drops on games you're watching, and provides an browsable list of apps that have recently dropped in price.
The "99-cent dilemma" is still up in the air. While many developers buckle under the pressure to sell their games for a scant dollar, some are beginning to combat this trend by going no lower than $1.99. Still others are offering games for free now that Apple has enabled in-app purchases (this releases developers from having to put out a separate, free "Lite" version of their app for the sole purpose of hooking curious but cautious players). But the bottom line's the same: Compared to the PSP and Nintendo DS libraries, the App Store overflows with bargains.
Recommended accessories
A case. These sleek gadgets have a pretty good drop-test rating, but they're not indestructible. If you've got butterfingers, invest in some kind of enclosure, like the Contour HardSkin. Of course, there's all kinds of ooh-ahh colors and patterns, too, so feel free to indulge your inner fashionista. Just get ready for the teasing, especially if you're rocking this thing.
AppleCare Protection Plan (iPhone, $69; iPod Touch, $59). Unlike the shady boondoggles that stores like GameStop try to push on you when you buy new hardware, Apple's service plan is actually pretty good. In many cases, it'll replace a malfunctioning iPod or iPhone, so ponying up for the plan is cheaper than, y'know, actually buying a new phone.
Must-avoid accessories
Any screen covers. As we said before, the touch-screen is already pretty durable, and the various films and overlays being hustled on electronics store shelves will only come between your fingertips and your precious. Go au naturel for gaming, because even the ones that say they'll work will not.

Full StoryFEATURE SERIES: Songdo
Cities of the Future: Songdo, South Korea - Work and Business
A short plane ride from China and Japan, Songdo International Business District is uniquely positioned to become a premier business hub in Northeast Asia. Episode 3 of the series.
February 01 , 2012
Songdo, South Korea, is capturing the world's attention. A newly constructed city, it combines cutting edge urban planning with an infrastructure built on state of the art network technology. Developers hope Songdo will attract companies wanting to do business in the region. It's already transforming the way people work, and providing a model for other cities everywhere.
Stan Gale, Chairman, Gale International: The concept behind it is that this would become the central focal point and a main alternative for large-scale companies looking to do business in Japan, China and Korea.
Songdo's premier business address stands at 1000 feet, and is South Korea's tallest skyscraper.
Scott Summers, Vice President, Gale International: The North East Asia Trade Tower is a mixed-use building. The idea that people can come in from overseas, live, work within that building (and) the convention center behind (is) really, from an architectural standpoint, one of the main features here in Songdo.
All of Songdo's commercial buildings are linked by an advanced citywide network, designed to help businesses operate with extreme efficiency.
Scott Summers: The various systems in a building can now talk with each other within one command center to manage how the individual buildings function,.(and) save costs in terms of energy consumption.
Songdo's network infrastructure also enables video technology that helps people communicate face to face with unprecedented ease.
John Baekelmans, Chief Technology Officer, Smart + Connected Communities, Cisco: People have inside of every home, TelePresence capabilities. So In the businesses, we have deployed enterprise TelePresence to ensure people can connect from their home to their business or even from business to business. Receptionists who are sitting remote and who can actually, from remote, open doors, print badges.
Stan Gale: Having a fully-connected presence, a smart and connected community cuts out the wasted time and energy that we all have during the day getting to and from places.
Across the globe, smart cities like Songdo are adopting telepresence technology to reduce costs and carbon footprints. But by 2016, Songdo will outpace them all with more than 20,000 units deployed citywide.

I'm a girl and we own a male dog. Here's my confession and a little advice to other girls who own dogs:
The best time to do it is when you're having your period. Don't use a tampon, use a kotex pad instead. That way he'll be able to smell your bloody cunt and if you fingerfuck yourself for a few minutes he'll be able to smell your sexual juices too. If you don't shave down there, it will help to intensify your scent. I don't shave my cunt and I always smear my blood and juices into my thick pubes. It works like magic! Lay back on the edge of the bed or couch with your legs spread wide open. When your horny dog sticks his head between your legs, grab his ears and pull his nose straight into your bloody cunt. He'll know what to do. When he starts licking you, reach down and start playing with his cock and balls. It'll drive him absolutely CRAZY. When his cock is good and hard and it's fully exposed, get him to mount you! You'll be in for the ride of your life!

I'm a girl and we own a male dog. Here's my confession and a little advice to other girls who own dogs:
25110 -
From the time I was 14 until I was 23 I was basically my step brother's sex slave.
Our parents had married when I was 13 and he was 15. It wasn't an easy blending of the families. He was kind of a problem kid, bad at school and prone to misbehaving. I was a timid little bookworm and goody two shoes. We fought, he bullied me, but our parents just didn't see it as a big deal and assumed we'd get over it.
It all started one weekend. He had just gotten in trouble for his poor grades and was grounded. Our folks were off shopping all day and I was planning on going to a friend's house. I was getting ready to go when he came into my room and started bitching at me for being the reason he was grounded. I tried to leave but he grabbed me and forced me to the floor. The next thing I knew he had pushed my dress up and started shoving his fingers into my pussy. When I tried to fight he hit me, threatened me and then took off his pants. he fucked me there on the floor while I begged for him to stop.
Afterwords he told me to call my friend and say I was sick. He stood right there beside me as I talked on the phone, making it clear I better not say anything else. Once I was done with the call he took me to his room where he raped me again. He made me perform oral sex on him, he fucked me again, then made me lay in bed with him. He kissed me, touched me, and then started to lick my pussy. That's when the worst thing about that day happened. My body betrayed me and the sensations of his tongue on my clit and lips made me moan. He looked up at me and said "I knew you were a whore."
Those words kind of broke me. What kind of person could I be to feel good from something like this? I just gave up resisting after that.
He warned me not to tell anyone about this, and told me he'd be seeing me later that night. I stayed quiet and sure enough he crept into my bed and had sex with me again that night.
He used me regularly, making me do anything he wanted. Before I was 15 I had every hole fucked repeatedly, been tied up, beaten, forced to drink his piss, just about any depraved thing you can think of. I'd just given up, lacking any sense of self respect I just let him do things to me and eventually I started trying to make him happy in the hopes he'd stop escalating it.
After that first year he started to bring his friends over to fuck me. He was pimping me out for money, drugs or just fun. The only kindness he gave me in all that was he made them always use a condom, because he was afraid of catching something.
When I graduated and went off to college he followed me. There he moved our "relationship" to new levels, instead of just selling me to his damn drug buddies he started using the internet to set me up as an escort for businessmen and professionals. He sold me as a submissive, ready to be used by people into BDSM. At the same time he was becoming increasingly sadistic himself, regularly leaving me bruised and hurt. I spent most of my time away from class tied up and beaten in some way.
One night he took me to a party he'd planned. He had me tied to a bench and let the other guests take turns fucking me and filming the whole thing. Then he announced it was time for the main event. He brought in a large husky and had it mount me. There I was being fucked by a dog in front of a room full of people, most of whom were taking pictures or videos. After it had finished they all came up and tossed my "tips" at me, telling me that I was the biggest, filthiest whore ever.
That was the point where I just decided I had to get out. I thought about killing myself, but couldn't quite bring myself to do it. Instead planned things out and tipped off the cops the next time my step brother made a big drug buy. They arrested him and his partner in the business and they both went to jail.
Me I moved across the country, got a new name and tried to make a new life for myself. I'm still not free of what happened, I haven't been able to have anything like a normal love life, and I've found he twisted up my sexuality so bad that I can't get off without a certain degree of pain and humiliation.
Recently I've been seeing a dominant lesbian lady who is helping find my way. It's getting better, but I'm a long way from normal.
I hate that asshole for what he did to me.
25012 - How do you get your dog to lick your pussy? I tried with mine but she just stared and sat there. I've never done this before and my dogs not a big fan of peanut butter.

When I was a girl I had my first doggie experiences. I never knew that a girl could play around with dogs. I heard of girls messing and having sex with men, but not dogs or other animals.
But as I was to find out I was sure wrong in that sense, because I was soon to started with my first pet
Now when I was young I had a pet that was name Brownie and he was a brown dog. He was one loving pet and a buddy.
Now used to when I would come home from school Brownie be there at the door waiting for me.
Later on I discover a very interesting thing. When I would be petting him I notice that his little red penis would be sticking out. So curious as a young girl was I decided to see what it would feel like to play with his penis. I then took hold of him and play with him. I did that until he came. Then I let him outside and I went to wash my hands.
Now later on another day we were in my room when I took hold of the penis and begin to playing with him and it felt kind of weird. Like the other day he shot the come all over my hands .
Then I got up and let him outside and I went to wash my hands and then I help mom with lunch.
Another day we were in my room I had just gotten home from school. So I change into my other clothes and then I sit on the bed with him. In a little bit I begin to playing with him and this time he was hard I lay back and he got on me and started to hunching on me. so I let him did that until I push him off. He then shot his come and I let him outside. I went and took me a bath and wash my hair and then I got out and help mom with supper after I dress.
Another day I was outside on a blanket getting me some sun, when brownie came up to me and so I play with him. I petted him and then I notice his cock was sticking out, so I took hold of him,begin to playing with him some more.
In a little bit I pulled my shorts down and he got on top of me and begin to rubbing up against me and I let him do that until he pulled away and I jerk him off . Then he left I lay there for the longest . Then I got up and went inside and wash my face. I had gotten too much sun and so I put some cream on my face then I went and watch t.v.
Now after that day he and i had some more fun up until to my birthday then he got hit by a car . Boy this really upset me deeply. I really love that dog.
Now the next time I had some experiences with dogs was when I was in my teens.
One day I was over to the woods for a walk. When I came upon a dog. He was a very pretty dog too. So I slowly approach him and then I put out my hand for him to sniff my hand. then he let me pet him. Well I sat on the ground and then I notice that his penis was sticking out so I took hold of him and started to jerking on him. I did that until I made him come. Then I got up and went home and wash my hands.
Another day I was sitting in my bedroom when I was daydreaming that I had went over to the woods and I came upon this dog. So I sat down on the ground and played with him and then in a little bit I lay back and the dog got on top of me and begin to fucking me. He had sex with me until he pull away and came. Then I got up and went home.
Now when I came out of my daydream I was oozing some girl cum and I masturbated until I came good.
Another day I told Mommy that I was going for a walk and she said okay. I had just finish my homework. I left and went over to the woods and then I came upon this dog. he was just laying there and I walked up to him I said to him hello and I started to walk off and he raised his head and bark at me. I then turn around and went back over to him and started to patting him when lo and behold he jump on me and he started to licking me and before I knew he was hunching on me. But of course he couldnt get in me and I was determine he was going to either. So I let him hunch on me for a little bit and then I push him off and jerk him off.Then I got up and walk off. Now before I got out of site I look back and notice he was licking his penis. I went home and took me a bath and then I help mom fixed supper.
Now my next experience with a dog wasn't to years later after I got out of high school.

June 3, 1996
June 3, 1996, Morning. Still no bears or marmots thank goodness. I am sore from yesterday but optimistic that the worst is behind me. I am looking forward to doing 15 or so miles today. This is the kind of back country I am used to hauling ass through. I wish I had more of an appetite as the pack is till so heavy. There is a ranger station a few miles ahead. I will see him for weather / trail conditions. I believe I am the only hiker between he and Mt. Whitney Trail.
June 3, 1996, Afternoon. No Ranger. Had lunch here just in case he / she shows up. This would have made a great overnight spot. I just had a cup of mashed potato mix and I made some pan bread but I don't think I can finish it. I'll take it with me and munch along the way. I am making slow progress, partly because I am sore and partly because it is such beautiful country; it is difficult to rush through it.
June 3, 1996, Evening. 5.2 miles today. I found a food storage container* by a meadow with a nice fire place all set up. I decided to try my hand at making a fire. In the absence of newspaper I am generally pretty bad at this but I did okay. Three boys from the San Francisco area passed through. They made dinner by my camp. They are on break from school and going from Mexico to Canada on the Pacific Crest Trail. They were an inspiration in how quickly they set up, packed up and barreled trough the woods without worry of where the actual trail was beneath the snow. Perhaps this will be me in a week or so.
*Food storage containers, or bear boxes, are used to keep a hiker's food from the bears.

When you die, if you have a chest in your inventory, it will be placed where you die, or in the closest available spot. The chest will be filled with as many items as possible. Items stored in the crafting slot are still lost, as usual, and any excess that won't fit in the chest will be dropped.
Floodgate 1.3.1
Floodgate block can be used as either a floodgate, allowing toggleable water and lava falls, or as a trapdoor. When you place the floodgate control block, it will place a gate in front of the control block in the direction you are facing. Applying redstone power to this will remove the gate. Use the control block to open the GUI where you can place supporting blocks that will replace how the gate looks. Requires ModLoader 1.3.1.
The recipe:
Where is redstone.
Spawner GUI 1.3.1
Adds a GUI to all mob spawners, that will allow you to pick what mob to spawn. I also reallowed mining spawners. You can disable spawners with redstone aswell. Should be compatible with all mobs, but don't expect the mobs with special spawn conditions to work everywhere. Animals require grass, Monsters require darkness, Slimes require being in their special chunks, and 0-16 depth. Requires ModLoader 1.3.1.
Block Distortion 1.3.1
This mod is just an experiment. Everything that is 3D (Mostly noticeable on blocks) has a random distortion. Known issues include: Clouds randomize as they move across the sky, held items look rather odd, and GUI elements may be screwed up. I don't recommend using this mod long.
Griefer Creepers 1.3.1
This mod changes how creepers attack. Instead of blowing itself up, It will disappear and launcher 100 arrows straight into the air, which will rain down on the landscape. These arrows will be 25% fire arrows, 75% explosive arrows..
Recipe Book 1.3.1
This item when used opens up a GUI of every recipe that can be done. The items can not be touched, but you can read tool tip. Left click moves to next recipe. Right click moves to previous recipe. The recipe for recipe book is 1 book, 1 ink sac. It's a shapeless recipe. Requires ModLoader 1.3.1.
Shelf 1.3.1
Ever wanted to store your items in a way you can see them? Here you go. This block allows you to add up to 9 items to it and the items you put in are shown in the world. Requires ModLoader 1.3.1.
Recipe is:
Biosphere 1.3.1
This is a new generator. You may select this generator in More World Options when creating world. In this generator, the world is made up of massive spheres with glass domes. Inside these spheres are random biomes. There is a random chance of a lake being placed in the center of each sphere. Usually water, but rarely lava. Bordering this lake you will find sand for water, or gravel for lava. Connecting each sphere is a wooden bridge with fence rail. Beside each sphere is a smaller sphere, which is where you will find diamond and lapis lazuli. These ores only occur here, the others are equally spread throughout the spheres. The cave generator used here is a modified Nether cave generator, where like on the surface, will generate lava below a certain level. if this lava reaches the outside, an obsidian wall will be made to hold it in. Many options can be changed in ".minecraft/config/Biosphere.cfg". Requires ModLoader 1.3.1.
Armor Stand 1.3.1
This block will give you a place to show off your armor. Just place the block and right click on the platform. You can choose from a selection of skins to hold your armor, as well as have it stare at you, constantly. You may also change the texture of platform by putting block in the last slot. Known issues include: placing a block inside of dummy, standing on its head, possible inability for mobs to path around it. Recipe is 3 solid stone blocks along bottom, with 2 sticks in the middle. Requires ModLoader 1.3.1.

She thought he didn't notice the quick side-glances that she shot him as she bit her bottom lip in thought. Kurama knew what was coming.
"I think I need to start going to the gym," Kagome sighed.
"And why is that?" He answered amusedly.
"I want to have a nice figure…"
"You already have a gorgeous figure."
"But my legs—"
"Are long, lean, and lovely."
"And my stomach is—"
"Perfectly smooth. Kagome, you have nothing to fear," he reassured pulling her close with a gentle kiss. "You have a body that even the goddesses in heaven must envy."
Giving her boyfriend a radiant smile, Kagome stopped her complaints as Kurama thought, 'Yusuke should pay me for lessons.'

What is 'Mind'?
If the surrounding is observed carefully, by surrounding I mean,
everything that we perceive through our senses, which includes our own
body as well, we will find out that whatever we consider as outer world
is actually impressions in our mind. Everything that we experience, experience in our mind. No, It
does not stipulate that everything, physical, is mere illusion. It is
all together the different chapter and not included here. {The illusion concept is
contradicted by someone who says that if anyone calls physical
existence an illusion, must be beaten with a stick on his head, till his
head starts paining and bleeding.}
Here the main point to question is, What the mind actually is, which is having the impressions? What is it made up of? I want to have all
the details possible about it described by various religious texts,
science, psychologies and so on.
{Who is that
thinking within me? Who is that thinking about mind? Does mind think
about itself?...These are the possible targeted I want to have answers}.
Parag JasaniOct 14 2013: Thanks to the exponentially advancing technologies, tremendous amounts of information about the human brain, its structure, its components, how they are connected, what they do, etc. is available, but not how they work together TO FORM MIND.
DICHOTOMIZED OPERATING SYSTEM (DOS) is the first model that explains what mind is, how it works, how it develops over time and why do we have it.
To know more, visit http://www.whatismind.com.
Sep 19 2013: So far, 'mind' appears to me the result out of a highly connected network of impulse processing, which complexity level and interconnectivity reached a critical point, at which the 'processing of signals' feedbacks into itself by which it creates stable pattern of 'interaction' who then elevate and manifest themselves to a level of self-awareness.
Without those 'stable pattern' of recursive feedback loops, of which memory is a vital part of, it wasn't likely to remain this 'mind' within a state at which it was able to 'recognize' itself as such.
Even though each of our neurons is by itself nothing but a simple 'signal processor' and not 'aware' about itself as such, the interactive 'pattern' of many of those simple 'processors' which come into being are of sheer complexity.
To me this is somewhat similar to fractal geometry, to have something to compare it to. There, a simple equation in which a series of numbers runs through and get calculated within and the resulting geometric 'pattern' can be of breathtaking beauty and complexity.
Those 'pattern' often result out of a single, simple and non-linear equation which do nothing but 'stepping' through a process of calculations, which, in comparison a single neuron may do as well, even though this comparison my not be completely valid.
Now imagine what would happen if many of those 'equations' get connected with many others and began to influence each other. The evolving 'pictures' or 'pattern' of such networks would become of multi-dimensions and the overall level of interacting complexity of much higher magnitude compared to those of a single equation.
And out of a certain magnitude of complexity it seems to me, that the creation of 'mind' hops into existence by itself, and as being a 'resulting pattern' of signals, it finds itself quite helpless to understand or grasp the origin of its very self.
And 'me' being a picture wasn't bad at all ... :o)
Oct 17 2013: Jumping into this without reading all the comments so this may have already been mentioned; arguably the best treatment of this question, compiled into a 5 DVD collection, is "Consciousness" - about 20 interviews from experts in several disciplines; related to the "Toward A Science of Consciousness Conference" and the University of Arizona, in Tucson, AZ, USA. Anyway, this is the most interesting question posed in TED.com that I've seen, and I'm bookmarking it read it in-depth later.
Sep 25 2013: For me Mind has always been very complex, I believe that mind is a receptor Just like tv who does its function the way genetically it is made from inside i.e. chemical composition. ideas, anger, creativity, emotions and attitude etc are around us no matter how much you think of behaving smart, funny, arrogant, caring but the chemical composition will ultimately bring out the real mind behaviour in front. though you may not like your this behaviour, you try to change and then you become silent.
Sep 24 2013: Noor,, MIND does not exists... Believe me !
By physical mean Brain is there with all net kind neurons connectivity and electricity impulses triggered by chemical reactions ( dont really know biology).... who directs it... who directs to RBC or WBC... who directs to Heart to beat.. who directs nostrils and lungs to intake oxygen... These all are happening in nature, naturally, as a whole, unitedly !
bcoz of CONSCIOUSNESS... all things are getting their energy from this unknown so called consciousness.. the funny thing is that we (as a human) thinks we are doing this and that but its not ture... Mind is nothing but a logical form of our collected thoughts and knowledge till date since the childhood. Its also a matter, a material thing.. coz a material things can not produce a non-material thing. in very subtle state this MIND ( Mann or Dil in Hindi or urdu) is also a material thing along with its all activities.. for example you are you when you see yourself , when you think about yourself you never think you are combination of a different things,, but when any other sees you he/she can see your hand, your head, your legs and other organs, with separation.
likewise, Noor ! Mind is what we used to say to our existence. It is an illusion which does not exists in real,, but commands our life,, we are pure consciousness... we are the witness of all happenings including mind activities (thinking & thoughts & logical decisions). This virtual mind or non virtual body organs are our servants but are controlling us as a master.... :)

Alex Tanguay LW COL 5 Months
Alex Tanguay (hip) was on the ice for Colorado's optional skate on Sunday.
He isn't expected to be back in the lineup until next season, but it's a positive sign that he was able to get back on the ice. Tanguay underwent hip surgery in February and he appeared in just 16 games during the regular season.
Alex Tanguay LW COL 7 Months
Alex Tanguay will have surgery on his hip Friday morning and he's expected to miss the rest of the season.
The issue with his hip contributed to the knee problem that he had been dealing with of late. The Avalanche had a 15-1 record with Tanguay in the lineup and he had 11 points over that span.
Alex Tanguay LW COL 7 Months
Alex Tanguay (knee) missed Friday's practice.
Tanguay will not participate in Saturday's contest. The good news is that the injury isn't believed to be serious at this point and there's a decent chance that he'll be ready when the Olympic break ends.
Alex Tanguay LW COL 7 Months
Alex Tanguay (knee) didn't skate in the morning and missed Thursday's game against Philadelphia.
He received treatment instead. Tanguay has missed four straight games since he re-injured his knee.
Alex Tanguay LW COL 8 Months
Alex Tanguay (knee) will not return to the Avalanche's lineup on Tuesday.
Tanguay only ended up playing in three of four contests before he re-injured his knee. This will be his third straight game on the sidelines.
Alex Tanguay LW COL 8 Months
Alex Tanguay (knee) won't play Monday.
It will be the second straight he has missed since re-injuring his knee. He is listed as day-to-day. Tanguay is with the team on their trip and he could be available for Tuesday's game against the New York Rangers.
Alex Tanguay LW COL 8 Months
There is no update on whether Alex Tanguay will play Saturday afternoon against Buffalo.
He tweaked the same knee that kept him out of action for most of the season. We suspect the Avs will play it cautious with Tanguay and sit him out against the Sabres. If you have a reasonable alternative, we suggest you start him and bench Tanguay at least until next week.
Alex Tanguay LW COL 8 Months
Alex Tanguay wasn't on the ice with the Colorado Avalanche for Friday's practice due to a tweaked knee.
Tanguay sustained the ailment during Thursday's contest. For now he's questionable Saturday, but this is concerning news considering he's missed most of the season due to knee/hip problems.
Alex Tanguay LW COL 8 Months
Coach Patrick Roy is happy to have Alex Tanguay back in the lineup.
"He brings something so important to this team when he's playing with Paul (Stastny) and (Gabe Landeskog)," Roy said. The Avalanche has a 14-1 record when he's been in the lineup. Tanguay, who has a goal and an assist in two games since returning to the fold, has 11 points in 15 games this season.
Alex Tanguay LW COL 8 Months
Alex Tanguay looked pretty good in his return from hip and knee injuries that sidelined him for 36 games but he won't play in back-to-back games so he will sit out Saturday against Tampa.
Taguay skated on a line with Paul Stastny and Gabriel Landeskog and registered an assist in 17:10 minutes of ice time. Tanguay certainly was a bit apprehensive about playing after such a long layoff. "I was nervous, but most of my anxiousness was health-wise," Tanguay said. "But I came out feeling pretty good, so that's the great news for me and I hope it's going to keep going that way." Avs' coach Patrick Roy seemed pretty pleased with Tanguay's performance. "I thought he looked good," Roy said of Tanguay. If Tanguay was discarded during his recovery, you may want to make him a waiver wire target next week.

The founders of Metafilter and Kuro5hin plan to launch an independent news site this fall to track the 2004 presidential campaign. Matt Haughey and Rusty Foster, the programmers behind those two collaborative media sites, will create a "smart mob-style site" to provide a place for independent reporting about next year's election.[more inside]

Suzi's Blog
Pi Day on 3.14.2012 at Cooking by the Book
Our whole universe depends on the values of some important numbers, and the most important of those is π — you know 3.14159… It is the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter. But the number π appears everywhere in the science that drives our lives.
Thanks to the United States Congress, to honor π there is a National Pi Day on 3.14 or March 14th. And this year, to honor π as well, Suzen is hosting a Pi Day event for the public. You are welcome to sign up for this class featuring both sweet and savory pies. If someone says "pie" to me, I think banana cream. Suzen will think chicken pot pie. A good marriage has complementary partners.
Our Pi Day class will focus on that big hurdle pie aficionados all face: the crust. We'll show techniques for perfect dough that is easy to handle. Yes, we'll teach you how to weave that lattice top. And how to bake to golden perfection.
This class is perfect for couples, singles, anyone who has relentless pie cravings. We totally understand.
What goes in the pies? We're going to surprise you. We'll be looking for the freshest fruits and most interesting savory ingredients to share with you. We can guarantee you a most pleasant collection of flavor surprises.
To attend the class, please reserve your spot by calling Cooking by the Book at 212-966-9799.
We are conveniently located in Lower Manhattan at 13 Worth Street.
[Yes, all those digits in the background of the picture at the top are part of π. If you come to the class, we hand out all the first 10,000 digits upon request.]
A Green Meal Menu
We are encouraged every day to "go green." And while that is not always convenient, here is an easy, tasty menu for a green meal using cucumbers and scallions. These are two shades of green that are ideally flavor matched:
- Cucumber Martini
- Braised Scallions
- Cucumber and Smoked Trout Salad with Scallions
The next three posts here will give you each recipe. I am doing this in the interest of the environment. I am, however, drawing a line. There is no Green Tea ice cream.

City leaders have unveiled a new plan to spur economic development in Northwest Sioux Falls.
It's a 3 square mile area around the new Denny Sanford Premier Center that will be named the 'Sioux Falls Sports and Entertainment District'.
The new district will have these boundaries: I-29, I-90, Minnesota Avenue and 6th Street. It includes places like the Sioux Falls Regional Airport, the Sanford Sports Complex, the new Denny Sanford Premier Center and the Elmwood Golf Course - which is one spot hoping to reap some benefits.
"We're a busy golf course but we can accommodate more. I think we'll have more events as more activity gets around the area when the sports complexes get going," President and Director of Golf Tom Jansa said.
Sioux Falls city leaders are looking at how they can improve economic development for 25 years down the road, especially once the new events center is built. The city hopes to use the plan to market the area, create development opportunities and leaders are confident it can be done.
"We quickly came to the conclusion that the potential is pretty strong for this area to see some dramatic economic impact, directly from the events center, and indirectly from what's going on from things in the NW area," Mike Cooper said.
Despite the construction mess, the Elmwood Golf Course staff is thrilled to be part of the district and be a place where more people will stop to play a round or two.
"In a couple years, it'll all be over and it'll be great, fun to watch and to be in the middle of something exciting," Tom Jansa said.
With the development, over the next 25 years, leaders predict a population increase of more than 10,000 people, more than 15,000 new jobs and 5,000 new homes.

Yeah I thought this guy had balls for offering $1M but now I can see that he is a fraud as well! Either that or someone who was acting as Mr. Smith is trying to discredit the whole show... Rather confusing. What is clear is Rossi's comments about devices possibly being ready in 18 months and his claim that Home Depot would be selling these by the end of 2012 are not in line. The Home Depot thing was laughable on it's own but now he is starting to forget the earlier lies.
I'm still clearly in the "Rossi is a Fraud" camp and nothing he has done recently has improved that image. The folks at Defka-lion are a bit more professional but these guys are just newer to the show. They still have not provided any real mechanical drawings or real engineering proof to anything they have claimed. A power point is not a technical drawing or specification! The only value add is they have a demo that looks more professional than Rossi. Anything stated above that is fluff and not proven if not third party validated and published.
He's definitely not a figment of someone's imagination.
One can only imagine what his motives are.

Do you and the writers of the story in the June 28 edition expect the readers to believe that Mashpee spends $13,655 on each pupil in their public schools?
In other cities and towns, the charter schools get 33 percent to 50 percent more than the public school can spend on their students. Also, I've heard parents of charter school kids brag that they get rid of the special needs and slow kids by 3rd grade. It helps with the MCAS scores, you know.
In addition, your chart shows that Sturgis school teachers are paid less than public school teachers. Are their qualifications the same and their education and experience? After all, businesses brag that they have to pay much more in order to get "quality" employees. Why wouldn't the business of a charter school?
How is the compensation for the administrators compared? In one city the administrators are using the money from the cities where the students are from to buy real estate for the use of the administrators and principal as free housing rather than spending it all at the school.
For at least 50 years there has been a segment of the political population that has worked tirelessly to rid themselves of public schools and public school teachers. With this rush to charter schools (most of them privately owned as money-making propositions) they are certainly making a huge dent. In the words of a prominent conservative, the plan seems to be to "starve the beast."
