Another Web 2.0 tool that can be used to share poetry is Voki. Voki allows students to create an avatar, chose a background, and record their voice(or use a computer generated voice). This is a great compromise when you are not able to post videos of your students to the internet.
Here are some ideas to try for Poetry Month:
- Have student chose a favorite poem and recite it. This allows students to practice fluency and gives them a creative option to share their favorite poem. Voki is asking people to submit their favorite poems in Voki form in honor of National Poetry Month. You can even find examples on their post.
- Chose a historical character and write a poem from their point of view explaining an event in history.
- Have students chose their favorite form of poetry and record a Voki, then have their classmates listen to the Voki and guess what form they used.
- Chose a current event to write a poem about, create a character and chose a background that accurately represents the event.
- Introduce your students to a new poet, poem or poetry form by creating a Voki.
- Create a digital poetry slam on your class webpage. Have students record original poems, stressing the idea of inflection and portraying emotion through their voice.
If you haven't used Voki before, they provide a Getting Started Guide and a Voki Classroom Guide. Love the tool and want to use it in other ways? They even have a lesson plan resource guide that includes teacher submitted lessons.

LOS ANGELES — Just how good is USC? Pretty good if you believe the College Football Playoff rankings, which has the Trojans at No. 11.
But an NFL assistant coach, who watched four games this season, said he found the Trojans to be wanting, especially in the bigger moments.
"When USC has opposition, it struggles," said the coach, who asked not to be identified.
In other words, when USC plays a team that does not self-destruct, it runs into problems. USC has been consistently inconsistent this season. That is the Trojans' identity.
What will be interesting is how this plays out in a Pac-12 championship game and bowl game, where USC could play a pair of top-10 teams. The Trojans will not get away with playing well for a half in those contests.
>>Ronald Jones has been the steady star this season for USC and should pass Reggie Bush and LenDale White in career rushing yards against Colorado on Saturday.
But I still think Jones is a bit of an enigma when you look at his entire career, especially when fans and some media seem ready to shower him with superlatives. Did it matter he never gained more than 77 yards in USC's first seven games last season? Did it matter he gained 55 yards in 20 carries in the Rose Bowl against Penn State? Did it matter he rushed for more than 100 yards in only one game as a freshman?
Stats do not detract from Jones being a great tailback. It just seems like more was possible, especially if he decides to go pro after this season.
>>An overlooked aspect to Sam Darnold's value at quarterback is his ability to avoid big hits. Darnold has had a sprained ankle and sore hip but nothing considered serious.
His elusiveness in the pocket has to be something NFL teams notice, even if they watch film of his turnovers this season.
>>It remains a hot topic inside the athletic department that USC will probably have some new coaches on its staff next season. A few would like to go elsewhere and some might get replaced involuntarily.
>>You always hear stories about how coaches worked for a pittance back in the old days. But USC coach John McKay's first contract paid him $65,000 for the 1960 season. It works out to $537,536 in 2017 dollars.
It's a lot less than the $3 million or so Clay Helton is believed to make but it is not peanuts. It was more than enough for McKay to live comfortably 57 years ago.
>>USC opens its basketball season against Cal State Fullerton on Friday night at the Galen Center. But there will be only one angle: Is De'Anthony Melton playing? Is anyone else being held out?
This is the result of the FBI investigation. Earlier this week, USC coach Andy Enfield was irritated while speaking to reporters about an article that indicated he left the recent Wooden Luncheon in downtown L.A. early. His frustration over a minor point was also the result of the investigation.
And he insisted, without prodding, that the FBI has not seized his laptop computer.
>>USC covered up several statues (Tommy Trojan, George Tirebiter) to protect them against potential pranksters before next week's UCLA game. But the new statue of Hecuba, the female counterpart of Tommy Trojan, was not covered up until Thursday.
Not even USC was that worried anyone cared enough to spray paint that statue.
>>Only at USC: Actor Zac Efron worked out in the weight room this week and took pictures with several Trojan teams.
>>My game prediction: This would seem to be a perfect trap game for USC. A road game in November at Boulder, the week before the cross-town rivalry game.
The problem is Colorado has not shown anything in recent weeks. The Buffaloes lost to Washington State 28-0 and last weekend were overpowered by Arizona State 41-30.
USC can probably get away with its up-and-down nature and still win. So I will take the Trojans 28-17.

Enough time has passed since his retirement that there is someone on this earth who has never heard of Michael Jordan, but I imagine they are in a lonely minority. People probably remember him for different reasons: prolific scoring, insanely focused defense, the scoring and MVP and championships. Or maybe they have an image in their mind: that last-second shot over poor Craig Ehlo, or his taking it to the rack against Sam Perkins only to switch the ball from right to left hand for a soft bank, or maybe even Jordan sobbing on the locker room floor clutching the game ball after winning his first championship since his father's murder on Father's Day. What is fixed so firmly in my mind is not a record or an image…it is his indomitable will. I have never seen before or hope to see again another person who could so throughly impose his will to win in a team sport, and do it with such regularity whether the game was meaningless or the close-out game of the championship. When it was on the line, you knew, his team knew, and every guy on the other team knew what was about to happen. Money. And when gravity finally took over and he hit the floor for the last time in Miami on April 11, 2003, the Miami Heat officially retired the number 23 jersey even though Jordan had never played for their team. Money. (23 August, 2011 Oslo cruise terminal, Oslo, Norway)

Sims 2 nightlife dating sediment plutonium dating
Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) is a service we offer sellers that lets them store their products in Amazon's fulfillment centers, and we directly pack, ship, and provide customer service for these products.
Something we hope you'll especially enjoy: if( window. == "undefined") else if (typeof document.webkit Hidden !
However, one reason why the game gets a good, instead of excellent rating is the sparsity of choice in car ownership.
Dates and outings are a new goal oriented task where your sim must exercise social skills to make an enjoyable experience for yourself and your guests.
These added features make Nightlife a must-have for any sims addict.
Compared to other EP's, nightlife is one of the more thorough, with more added features, game and player options than most of the other EP's.
While developers are quick to point out that Nightlife is much more than "Hot Date 2," fans of the series will find that the second Sims 2 expansion brings many objects, interactions, and other features that are similar to those introduced by the original game's downtown dating add-on.
With Nightlife, Sims 2 characters can go on dates in a new downtown area, full of restaurants and nightclubs that players can edit or rebuild as they desire.

Green Business Technology practices have become the winning slogan for enterprises to realize business success and it also puts them in the limelight for being environmentally friendly companies. But the best part is that companies can also make money while fighting climate change.
Business technology alone consumes 1 percent of the world's electricity and consumes 415 million tons of coal per year emitting 864 million tons of greenhouse gases. The figures indicate that it makes more business sense to implement green energy-efficient solutions in any company as it accelerates business growth and ensures greater sustainability for the business.
Cost reductions can be realised significantly in energy consumption if data center capacity, physical assets and virtualisation solutions are optimised besides outsourcing parts or entire data centers. Such green initiatives enable easier management, monitoring and measuring of environmental footprint for meeting corporate and regulatory commitments. Business continuity and effective power management prevents outages and also optimises resource allocation. Supply chain and materials management further offers social, economical and environmental advantages.
Employee bases grow with energy saving devices, and there is greater collaboration between companies and also less travel owing to the presence of virtual collaboration tools. Telepresence solutions bring people across the globe face-to-face besides reducing travel expenses and also the carbon footprint.
Energy conservation and resource efficiency can be brought to practice by reducing waste, reusing equipment and recycling supplies. In data centers companies can use data transformation solutions such as server consolidation and smart cooling solutions.
Solutions like teleconferencing and video conferencing allows getting the work done between companies without having the employees to step out of office. Energy-efficient PCs also reduce total cost of ownership and electricity charges besides making the devices ENERGY STAR compliant.
To deploy green solutions, companies have to make it a corporate policy for the initiative then identify and prioritize their IT and environmental goals. The present IT scenario has to be studied and a sustainable green IT plan has to be put in place after studying alternative plans and vendors. The Green IT solution so selected has to be in line with business objectives and the company should be prepared for investments to enjoy returns.
Many Asian businesses profiting from green technologies
Corporate Social Responsibility practiced by companies in Singapore encompasses business strategy and operations along with universal values for realizing positive and sustainable outcomes for customers, suppliers, employees, and the environment.
The annual Carbon Forum Asia 2009 trade fair and conference which took place in Singapore in October served to showcase regional and international carbon market players from more than 27 countries including 22 from the Asia Pacific such as Singapore, Australia, China, India, Indonesia, Japan, Laos, Pakistan, Malaysia, Mongolia, Thailand, Bhutan and Papua New Guinea.
Project developers and carbon credit sellers displayed project ideas for environment friendly solutions including biomass-biogas combined heat and power generation, conversion of waste coal gas to energy and methane avoidance solutions. Discussions were held regarding emissions trading, carbon finance and climate change. Developing countries like China, India and Brazil have benefited a lot from the Clean Development Mechanism, according to sources.
Korean and Indian companies are ahead of their counterparts in Singapore and other Asian countries, as was revealed by a recent study on corporate policies regarding carbon footprint and reduction of green house gas emissions.
Green IT solutions are applicable for all enterprises big and small which have a data center in place. But green initiatives are not restricted to the IT industry alone as shown by a laundry business in Singapore. Green N Clean Laundry uses wet cleaning methods to clean delicate garments using water instead of petroleum based solvents as in the dry cleaning method.
The laundry business owners said that wet cleaning uses non-toxic soaps which are safer to use besides being eco-friendly as the wash water with biodegradable soaps can be discharged into the sewers. In dry cleaning the solvents used cause body irritation and cancer according to the United States' Environmental Protection Agency. The solvents are poisonous and not fit to be discharged into sewers.
Dry cleaning also consumes more power owing to the recycling process involved in getting the solvent ready for the next load. This makes it a totally non-environmental friendly solution. Businesses need to innovate more and create eco-friendly practices in what ever way possible to reap health, cost and environment benefits.
Earlier this year Nokia held its first Virtual Eco-Roundtable in Singapore in which Nokia's global and Southeast Asia Pacific (SEAP) executives spoke on environmental sustainability and its commitment to the environment. The highlight of this conference was that it was held in Nokia's videoconference room, the Halo Room and some speakers were presenting from the company's headquarters in Finland.
Nokia is integrating sustainability into the business and its environmental strategy which includes optimized materials management, take-back and recycling. Nokia includes these policies into the business and adds green features in its products also.
The design process involves observation and the devices are made for longer life. The new products and accessories are free of PVC, phthalates and flame retardants. Packaging materials and costs have been reduced drastically by using compact packing made of recyclable material. The company saved 99,000 tons of paper on packaging material and reference guide books.
To save energy in the no-load mode, energy-efficient chargers have been made by Nokia which gives alerts to unplug the chargers. Energy consumption is reduced by 80 percent in the no-load mode. Also the company is supporting a common charger interface which will eliminate the need for multiple chargers for different manufacturers. Nokia also promotes the recycling of old mobile phones.
Nokia's green services, Green Explorer, Eco zone and we:offset advocates sustainable choices among people leveraging its global reach. Green explorer is a green travel planner offering overviews, facts, commuting advice and city guides with eco-friendly choices which can be downloaded to Nokia devices. Eco zone is preinstalled in most devices and gives access to eco information and services. we:offset is a carbon emission offsetting tool lets users offset their carbon emissions from traveling with ClimateCare.
Green IT or the practice of environmentally friendly solutions in the IT industry is a fast growing sector on earth today. Hewlett-Packard operates in over 170 countries and provides printing and personal computing products, IT services, software and solutions. The company strives to support business growth with new initiatives and products besides trying to reduce harmful environment impacting activities.
HP Asia Pacific has identified areas in which customers are adopting Green IT such as in virtualization, management, power and cooling, and asset-recovery services. Increasing energy efficiency of servers and power supplies, implementing solutions which augment the energy efficiency in cooling a data center and developing software to measure energy usage are green initiatives taken by HP.
Following such examples - whether it is implemented by a small laundry business or global giants such as Nokia and HP - all businesses can incorporate sustainability and business responsibility and make their businesses go green.
Green business is also sustainable business as it has no negative impact on the global and local environment nor on the community, society or economy. Sustainable businesses which highlight human rights policies should now include environmental policies also. All processes, products and manufacturing activities have to meet environmental and corporate profit making goals.
"The needs of the present world have to be met without compromising on the ability of future generations to meet their needs", say experts in environment study. Products have to be designed which will leverage the environmental benefits now and also perform well with renewable resources. Sustainability involves a delicate balance between people, planet and profit. Value should be created for customers, investors and the environment in order to run the most ideal business today.
More awareness about benefits of green technologies required
Lack of awareness about benefits accruing from such energy-efficient technologies prevents people and businesses from adopting safe technologies. The social and business benefits result in significant cost savings in the long run. The lack of regulatory guidelines across the Asia Pacific region acts as a deterrent to adopting Green IT solutions. The introduction of carbon taxes and other regulatory measures will result in optimised environmental policies.
All eyes are focused on the outcome of the Copenhagen Climate Conference to be held in December this year. The key issue under discussion will be global warming and how to tackle this problem. Evidently, global warming is the favourite topic the world over. It also need urgent attention as it is reaching alarming proportions according to the results of the annual Arctic Report Card. The changes in the Arctic are "drastic" says the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.Scientists believe that climate change is affecting the Arctic more than other places. The changes are alarming and businesses should take immediate steps to reduce greenhouse polluting gases and try stopping climate changes throughout the world. It has become imperative for every citizen of this earth to look for greener alternatives to all their activities both at home and in offices.

Silent Presence, Grief's Unfolding Promise
Many months before Ken's death, his soul reached out to Gayle and shattered her understanding of reality. With six simple words, delivered in an explosion of energy, not unlike the Starship Enterprise shifting into warp drive, he set Gayle upon a collision course with every belief that comprised the fabric of her life. The words: "This cancer is my gift to you." Nothing more; just a short sentence she thought she understood. She didn't. If she hadn't been holding on to the back of Kenny's chair, she would have been knocked to her knees by the blast. And, that was nothing in comparison to what would follow.
Silent Presence comes from the very personal, direct experience of Gayle Amaya Gregory. Her words are self-aware, honest, raw and unprotected. She chose to accept Ken's gift, to squeeze every lesson from his life, and the perfection of his death. She understood the gift's power and wasn't willing to miss one breath of the experience.
Gayle thought she lived in the present moment. Watching Ken, she realized that she didn't. Ken embodied the present moment during his last months with his willingness to be present to his life and all it held, including the experience of his death, of leaving everything he loved behind. Ken's life became the teaching, and through his conscious death, he teaches still.
Silent Presence documents the path of return. It is both a shamanic journey into fear and death and the slow dawning of remembrance, the return to True Nature, the I Am That I Am. As it passes through the ripping, pain-filled, mind quieting, heart opening lessons on its journey Home, it provides evidence of the heart's triumph over mind's trust in limitation.
To someone watching from the outside, the problems of life might seem unchanged, but that would be wrong. They have changed; the choices and perceptions, and exquisite peace and absolute freedom bear no resemblance to ordinary experience. Answers flow easily from within the heart itself. Life is realized to be Consciousness creating, perfect and pure. It is something that cannot be described, only lived. Ken's gift is that this is Who We Are; and the experience of it is always available right now.
**The basic print cost of Silent Presence is $10. It lists for $20. If you are unable to cover print and shipping with your donation please consider ordering the e-book version through Amazon.

Shearer: We're all to blame
Alan Shearer has insisted there must be a collective blame for Newcastle's relegation from the Barclays Premier League - and he has pointed the finger at himself as well as owner Mike Ashley.
Shearer, who will not decide his future until meeting with Ashley later this week, is adamant "huge problems" at the club need to be sorted out if the Magpies are to make a quickfire return to the top flight. A 1-0 defeat at Aston Villa courtesy of an own goal from Damien Duff put the final nail into Newcastle's coffin.
Shearer said: "I spoke to them in the dressing room and said 'you can make all the excuses you like.' But I wasn't good enough, Mike Ashley is not good enough, the same with Chris Hughton, Kevin Keegan, Joe Kinnear (who have all managed Newcastle this season), people in the dressing room, all of us."
He added: "I was shocked at the state of the club when I came in. I was aware of mistakes that had been made. There are huge problems at the club. They are there for everyone to see.
"It's not just about today. It has gone on this season, last season, the season before, four seasons ago. It is a culmination of everything.
"Players need to go, players need to come in and those guys (in charge) need to decide where the football club is going to go. I'll give my opinion on that and then we'll see where we get.
"Those guys have got decisions to make - who is going to be in charge, how much they are going to spend? There are a million questions that need to be answered."
Shearer added: "What needs to change? A hell of a lot. There are a million things looking back a long way that haven't been right.
"I'm not blaming anyone. It has happened. What is important now is that the football club gets back on track and the sooner the better for everyone.
"In the end the three worst teams deserved to go down and, unfortunately for me, Newcastle are one of them. We can't complain. We have conceded too many goals, we haven't created enough, not scored many. That has been a problem all season and, when you get in a rut, it is very difficult to get out of it."

Zogby puts Bush's popularity at 41%, the lowest of his presidency. That seems like good news except the devil, of course, is in the details.
As Zogby writes,
Pessimism about the nation's direction surged in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, with a 53% majority of voters saying the nation is heading in the wrong direction, while a 42% minority continues to say the nation is on the right track. This is a significant shift since the last Zogby America poll, taken at the end of July, which showed voters evenly divided on the question, with 46% saying the nation was headed in the right direction and 47% saying it was on the wrong track.
Certainly I agree with the majority here but I still want to meet these 42% that say the country is on the right track. Even if you are a right-wing hack, you cannot be happy with the level of discourse in the United States Congress or prospects for an expensive election season next year.
Part of what the left's political planners don't get is that the results don't matter. The Iraq war is souring (and we'll *never* "win" that conflict, no matter how hard we spin), the economy is being held hostage by oil companies and there seems to be no increase in "homeland security." Attention right: is having your figurehead in office and a congressional majority enough?

Recovering from surgery is well… A real bitch. My new implants actually feel amazing. Not sore at all. It's like I never had surgery. I can raise my arms, move like normal, no bruising… 100% better than the expanders. And then there is my stomach…. I had extensive scar tissue on either side of my stomach from the drains from the mastectomy. You could almost see the formation of where the drains were with the naked eye. It's had bothered me ever since my last surgery so the doctor removed my scar tissue and made the scars from the first drains a lot smaller. The bruising and pain from that is UNREAL. As my friend Suzanne put it "you look like you have been hit by a car." And I feel like it. Every time I stand up I feel like my stomach is going to fall out through my stitches. When I walk I hold onto my stomach, not my chest, for fear it will literally fall off. Good news is, recovery for this is a lot quicker than standard breast implants and I should be back to sleeping on my stomach in no time! Which if you have every heard me complain about my spacers… you know sleeping on my stomach again is my ultimate goal.
For now sitting up is even a challenge. I work a bit at my computer and then have to lay flat on my back and email from my phone. I have been trying to cut out the pain pills but then I sit up to fast, feel like my stomach is literally on fire, and burst into tears. So… Pain pills it is for just a bit longer.
As if surgery wasn't enough for us last week, Derek and I decided to move into our new house as well. Here is how the past week has been…
TUESDAY, MAY 7: surgery, stay in hospital
WEDNESDAY: get released from hospital
THURSDAY: pack
FRIDAY: move
SATURDAY / SUNDAY: move and unpack
MONDAY: try to work and end up violently throwing up… so back to bed rest (my body was clearly giving me the middle finger) so after sleeping all afternoon I persevered and worked until 10. Then unpacked again….
This brings us to to today. Scan day. Today was supposed to be my first set of scans to see if the chemo worked. I was scheduled for a CT of the head, chest, abdomen and pelvis. As well as a bone scan. My oncologist nurse called me this morning to tell me that my insurance wouldn't pay for my scans so we are having to postpone them until we can figure something out. This is a huge disappointment. I want to be positive and know I am cancer free but without those test to prove it it's just a phrase I'm hoping is true. For anyone who has been through chemo you know what I'm feeling. Any lump, bump, bruise, ache, cough or anything abnormal you think is cancer. The truth lies in those scans. It's just one more thing to make me sleep better at night. If any of you chemo girls have dealt with this same insurance problem and have some advice please let me know!
I do have a follow up appointment with my surgeon at 2 today. I'm hoping I can get my stitches removed and I can use my new Jason International Hydrotherapy bath created to help heal and sooth patients going through chemo and various surgeries. I'll have to do a separate post on that. It's pretty amazing.
Then at 3 the movers are coming again to move the rest of my belongings. Never a dull moment at the Owens household!
Thanks to everyone who has been checking on me and special thanks to my aunt Beth and Katie who packed and moved me Friday and Saturday! Now that's a good aunt and friend!
Now, if anyone would like to borrow Pitkin for the day and take him for a walk he would greatly appreciate it. He is so bored and won't stop following me. Everywhere. Everywhere I turn he is there. Here are a few pics to show you what I mean…..
With me being "handicap" I can't help pit on the bed. He doesn't understand. So he keeps going from side to side trying to get my attention….
Someone save me from this creep!

As we all know that how credit crisis and recession will cause damage to some major national economic indicators including stock market indexes, home prices, and retail sales. They have also affected many people's credit score as well. This is due to the layoffs, reduced credit data, and much tighter credit rules.
All of this has caused customers to take advantage of loan-modification plans and lenders to be more willing to negotiate doubtful debt. In this meantime, FICO has introduced a new scoring process that is also known as FICO 08. This new scoring process can increase or decrease your credit score by as much as fifty points. You can also browse https://www.creditreboot.com.au/ for expert assistance to improve your credit score.
Here is what you should know about how today's credit events can either harm or improve your credit score. Some things may even surprise you, that is why it is important to understand how to protect your credit rating in the current economy.
Your Credit Limit Is Reduced By Your Card Issuer
This will not harm your credit score as much as you might worry. In fact, many studies show that there was little to no impact on the credit scores for this. These same studies show that the median score for these people really loses some points. So, while you don't need to worry about this too much, you will need to pay some attention to next time. Some new credit score rules will be beneficial for you.
Paying Down or Paying Off Credit Balances
This is a most effective way in which you improve your credit rating because it will help your credit score by reducing your credit use. It is necessary to make sure that you don't do away with your credit though because it is still essential to show some activity. If you are working to improve your credit score then make sure to pay off your balance timely. You can also read this blog to get more information about credit score.

Not all foods are created equal – especially when it comes to our teeth.
Food and drinks come in a variety of textures, temperatures, and degrees of softness. Some foods that are particular tasty may not be the best items to be placing into our mouths. Even some foods that may seem harmless or even particularly healthy may not be what the doctor (or in this case, dentist) ordered when it comes to your oral health.
Here are just five of the foods that you should consume sparingly or not at all if you have tooth or gum issues. Or, if do eat them frequently, don't expect to get a guaranteed good grade at the dentist's office your next visit.
5. Black tea
If you're a regular coffee drinker, many of your friends may recommend you cut down on your caffeine intake. If you scoff, the next recommendation is typically to switch to tea. It has a similar effect but with less caffeine, after all.
However, black tea is highly acidic – and one of the worst teeth stainers. Also, compared with coffee, you're much less likely to find black teas offered with cream, which can deter against the assault on your poor enamel.
4. Dried apricot
Dried fruit is delicious, portable, and last longer than fresh fruit. Plus, all those vitamins make it a popular trail mix addition and desk drawer mainstay.
Unfortunately, drying out a sugary fruit such as apricot can have damaging effects on your teeth when you try and eat it. The chewiness can loosen teeth and rip out crowns, leaving a sugary residue that will be sure to hurt your teeth and gums.
3. Soft drinks
As if being partly blamed for the obesity epidemic weren't hard enough, soft drinks are also linked to cavities and other tooth maladies. The acidity of the carbonation combined with the sugary syrups make soft drinks a dangerous combination on your teeth.
2. Hard candy
Crunch! Despite our intention to suck on hard candy until it disappears, many of us ultimately bite into hard candy – with our teeth left to suffer the consequences. When you also account for all the sugars in hard candy, it becomes that much less of an appetizing snack for your teeth.
1. Sugared gum
Think about it: There is a food out there are is smothered with sugars and chemicals that forces you to chew on it. Endlessly. And there are a dozen or more to a pack. Simply put, sugared gum wears down your teeth and leaves a harmful layer of sugar to go with it.
These are just five of the worst foods for teeth – there are many more. If you're a regular eater of any of them, make an appointment at HealthySmile.com or call us at (708) 460-3040 and get a cleaning and check-up soon!

Hulk Hogan and Hostamania at Affiliate Summit West 2014,…
Disclosure: If I'm not making money through affiliate links on the post you're currently reading, it's an oversight on my part and will be corrected soon.
Last year, Hulk Hogan got back in the ring (with Tech Assets, Inc. in his corner) to bring Hostamania to the world.
This past week, the Hulk and the Hostamania crew exhibited at Affiliate Summit West 2014.
About Hostamania.com
To me, Hulk defines wrestling. His over-the-top persona was responsible for me noticing the WWF (now WWE) even existed, back in the 80's.
But, while I needed no introduction the Hulkster, I did need to do some research on Tech Assets, Inc., as I was unfamiliar with their brand.
I had no idea that they've been in the hosting business since 1997 when they launched their first hosting brand, Jumpline.
As of 2013, they have 11 brands that offer low-cost, top-tier web hosting solutions.
Hulk Hogan and Hostamania at Affiliate Summit West 2014
When I heard that Hulk was going to be at Affiliate Summit West 2014, I gotta tell ya… I was stoked!
As a total fan-girl myself, raising two boys who love WWE (they're huge John Cena fans) and admiring my husband who dresses up like Hulk Hogan (that's him to the left) when he takes the kids RAW and WLive events; I knew that I could totally boost my street cred with my sons if I got a picture with the Hulkster.
Right after our keynote ended, I made a bee-line to the exhibit hall to do just that. What I saw, blew my mind. There was a ginormous line already formed to take photos with Hulk at the Hostamania booth.
Luckily, Amy and Colleen (who work for me at Affiliate Summit) were next in line to meet him, so Shawn and I jumped into their photo with Hulk Hogan.
Hulk also autographed two photos for my boys. When I gave Hulk's photo to my son last night, the expression on his face was priceless. Between seeing me in the photo with Hulk and the signed autograph, I was officially the world's coolest mother.
Here's a little video of Hulk at the Hostamania booth at Affiliate Summit West 2014.
Hostamania = Smart Marketing
Besides getting to see Hulk Hogan in person, here's why I think that this whole Hostamania hoopla was awesome.
At the end of the day, web hosting companies for the most part, are similar in nature. The crucial factors involved with being a good hosting company are 1)offer competent support by folks who understand that most of us do not speak "tech", 2) keep pricing competitive and 3) make sure the user process is easy to understand and fast to set up.
The web hosting companies that stand out are the ones that not only understand those three crucial factors, but are also smart marketers.
Let's face it, being able to generate significant buzz around a boring topic, isn't easy. Who better than Hulk Hogan, to do just that? After all, he already knows how to be an attention grabber (see paragraph 2) and is an expert when it comes to developing loyal fans that span generations.
Having Hulk at the Hostamania booth at Affiliate Summit West 2014 was smart marketing as well.
Hundreds of folks stood in line to take their picture with him which they immediately shared socially; they all received signed autographs (something that they will all keep) that had the Hostamania affiliate offering on the back of it; every person's badge was scanned so that the Hostamania folks can follow up with them after the show and yes, affiliates have joined their program (myself included).
It was a great showing of creativity, with a huge dose of energy — all perfect for the Affiliate Summit attendees and the affiliate marketing industry overall.
Hostamania Offers 6 Months Free Hosting
Hostamania offers hosting starting at $7.95 per month for their Mini package up to $14.95 per month for their Pro package. In addition, for a limited-time, they are also offering a 6-Months Free Hosting package. The $0 setup fee, cancel anytime package is good if through January 31st and you must use Coupon Code: CHAMPION".
I've not used Hostamania before but I'm definitely willing to give them a try with this offer.

Source: http://ca.news.yahoo.com, February 20, 2014
Cochrane's Dairy and its current owner, Barry Cochrane, are facing five charges under the Fisheries Act for allegedly dumping waste water from the dairy plant into the Castor River in Russell, Ont., southeast of Ottawa.
The Castor River flows into the South Nation River, which flows into the Ottawa River.
The five charges against Cochrane's Dairy and Barry Cochrane are:
That between Aug. 23, 2012, and Nov. 15, 2012, they deposited or permitted the depositing of a deleterious substance — waste water from the dairy plant — into the Castor River, which is frequented by fish.
That between Aug. 23, 2012, and Nov. 15, 2012, they failed to notify an inspector, fishery officer or a relevant authority about the depositing of waste water into the Castor River.
That between Aug. 23, 2012, and Nov. 15, 2012, they failed to take all reasonable measures to prevent the depositing of waste water into the Castor River.
That on or about Dec. 7, 2012, they failed to provide an inspector, fishery officer or relevant authority with a written report on the depositing of waste water into the Castor River.
That between Sept. 27, 2012, and Dec. 7, 2012, they failed to comply with a direction of a Fisheries inspector.
None of the allegations have been proven in court.
Cochrane's lawyer, Robert Houston, said that in August of 2012 a City of Ottawa employee saw what looked like milk fat floating on the Castor River and complained to Fisheries and Oceans Canada.
A Fisheries inspector showed up at the dairy plant on Aug. 23, 2012.
But Houston said the current owner wasn't aware that his grandfather, who founded the plant in the 1930s, had built an underground system of pipes to deal with waste water.
The waste water is produced from cleaning the large milk vats. The underground system transported that water to the river, and Barry Cochrane thought it was a septic system, Houston said.
At the time of the inspection in 2012, Barry Cochrane's father was still alive and in charge of the plant, and came up with a solution that arguably "wasn't appropriate," Houston said.
He has since died.
"But what is happening now, and has been happening for literally over a year, is the waste water is pumped out into a truck and taken away and disposed of in quote, an appropriate fashion," Houston said.
"All of that has been rectified and there are no problems whatsoever. And as a matter of fact, from our point of view, although the waste water has been flowing into or was flowing into this river for decades, there has been no problem whatsoever."
Houston said it's his understanding that milk residue in the undiluted waste water is fatal to some species of trout. He also said he and his client are not aware of any reports of dead fish.
But Meredith Brown, executive director of Ottawa Riverkeeper, said a lack of dead fish doesn't mean there isn't a problem.
"They might not find dead fish in the river. … We can't visibly see all the effects of putting chemicals in our river. In fact we visibly see very few of the effects, and that's why we have to come up with these tests for defining what is deleterious," Brown said.
"The Fisheries Act is the greatest tool we have to protect the quality of our water. It's what stops people from putting chemicals and pollutants in the water, and we drink from the river. We fish in it, we swim in it, so it's in everybody's best interest that we keep it clean."
The matter is going to trial in December.

Linus Torvalds
Creator of Linux & GitLinus was born on December 28, 1969 in Helsinki, Finland. He enrolled at the University of Helsinki in 1988, graduating with a master's degree in computer science. His M.Sc. thesis was titled "Linux: A Portable Operating System" and was the genesis for what would become the most important collaborative software project in history.In August 1991, Linus announced that he was developing the Linux kernel, proclaiming, "it won't be big and professional." Never in the history of technology has someone been so wrong. In spite of his humble proclamation, Linux has become the world's most pervasive operating system. Today the Linux kernel forms the basis of the Linux operating system and powers billions of Android devices, powers ChromeOS, and has permeated almost every industry and form factor. Smartphones, TVs, appliances, cars, nuclear submarines, air traffic control, stock exchanges, and scientific research all run Linux. Linux also provides the underpinnings of the internet and the cloud computing industry.In 2005, citing a lack of free and open source version control tools that met his needs for performance and scale, Linus famously created Git in only 10 days. Today Git is widely used in software development and for other version-control tasks such as configuration management, and has become popular as an integral part of the DevOps culture.In 2000, Linus was listed by Time Magazine as Number 17 in the Time 100: Most Important People of the Century. Again, in 2004, Time Magazine named him one of the Most Influential People in the world. He was honored in 2008 with the Millennium Technology Prize by the Technology Academy Finland, "in recognition of his creation of a new open source operating system for computers leading to the widely used Linux kernel." He is also the recipient of the 2014 IEEE Computer Society Computer Pioneer Award. A true tech titan, he was admitted to the Computer History Museum Hall of Fellows, joining the ranks of the tech elite including Rear Admiral Grace Murray Hopper, Tim Berners-Lee, Gordon Moore, Ken Thompson, Dennis Ritchie, Steve Wozniak, and others.Torvalds remains the ultimate authority on what new code is incorporated into the standard Linux kernel.

book launch
Kirstie van Noort
Last year we featured the beautiful 6:1 ceramics collection by talented Dutch ceramicist Kirstie van Noort - a collection of interestingly-textured tableware made from porcelain waste.
This year, Kirstie has launched a new book called Ceramic Paint | Collection Cornwall, that tells the story of how Kirstie came to create a collection of ceramic paint inspired by Cornwall, England.
Made using 12 raw materials sourced from the porcelain, tin and copper industries in Cornwall, the paints are suitable for colouring stoneware, earthenware and porcelain.
The book tracks the origin and history of the raw materials used to make the paint and explores the diversity of possible applications.
Kirstie explains, "Up until the nineties people in Cornwall depended on the mines for their livelihood. Copper, tin, silver, lead and many other metals were extracted here. Today, only the porcelain industry is still active. The landscape is filled with the remains of these mines."
The final collection is made up of 108 colors inspired by the richness of the landscape and raw materials.
Ceramic paint | Collection Cornwall by Kirstie van Noort features 104 full colour pages. Paperback versions are now available to buy for 47,50 EURO. For orders and enquiries email email@example.com

Parshas Vayera
My current roommate and I met while we were both studying in Israel at Jewel, which is an program of Aish Hatorah. One of the classes that we attended focused on in-depth textual study of the Torah. It just so happened that the portion that our teacher focused on was Vayera, this week's parsha. So every year when Parshas Vayera comes up, we refer to it as "our Parsha," and we revel in the fact that there is one section of the Torah that we know really well. So in honor of the fact that I know this parsha, I wanted to share a small thing that I remember learning. The parsha opens with Avraham sitting at the entrance to his tent, three days after his Bris. It is extremely hot, and Avraham must be in pain considering the situation. Hashem appears to Avraham, but doesn't say anything. The question was asked regarding why Hashem doesn't say anything to Avraham, to comfort him, to give him some encouragement, to tell him that he will feel better soon. A proposed answer was that sometimes you don't need to say anything, just the fact that you are there is comforting. It is enough to know that you care. Words can be trite and meaningless at times, but just the warm presence and knowledge that someone cares can reassuring. This is often hard for those of us who are trying to comfort our sick friends and family. Silence can be awkward and many times we feel a need to counter that silence with any words. But a hug, a touch, or just the knowledge that someone is there, and they care, can be more reassuring than the common words that often are given. A soothing presence can be the best medicine. And Hashem, who is always there for us with His comforting presence, even though He doesn't always speak to us in words, should be the most soothing reassurance we could possibly want.

Sarah Swinfield Raven - an update and an exciting discovery
by Di Swinfield
In my
recent post about Sarah Swinfield Raven
I mentioned Sarah's great-great-granddaughter, Colleen Swinfield, who had sent us copies of some family photos. I chose her photo of Sarah's oldest son, William, to illustrate what I wrote about Sarah's life. Among those pictures was another which caught my eye, after I had written about Sarah. It showed an elderly couple in the front garden of a house and was described by Colleen as, "William Swinfield 1841 photo believed to have been taken near Angel Yard, Earl Shilton about 1900".
This got us very excited as the only William Swinfield born in 1841 was Sarah Raven's brother who was also Geoff's great-grandfather. William has figured in a number of blog posts over the years, especially
A Life in the Queen's Service
The End of an Eventful Life,
written back in 2011. We know a quite a lot about William's life and death but until now we had no photograph of him. He died in 1905 when his only surviving son, Arthur, was a young and still unmarried man and the only family photos which we have were taken after Arthur's marriage and the birth of
his son, Reg
in 1925.
We had to contact Colleen to ask if she had any more information about this photo. She quickly replied that the photo was of William and his sister, presumably Sarah. Colleen had been given the photo by her Aunt Emma, who was the sister of her grandfather. Sarah's granddaughter, Emma, told Colleen that the families all lived "hand to mouth" and that most of the children wore shoes which had been thrown out by the shoe factories where their parents worked. It should be noticed that Sarah's shoes in the photograph are beautifully shiny!
We have no idea where Angel Yard might have been in Earl Shilton. Can anyone help us here? The photo was taken outside a house which has a front garden and looks rather more up-market. Was this Highfield Road? Does anyone recognise it?
All of this fits very well with what we know about William's life around 1900. He had settled in Camberley, Surrey, after a long career in the Army and his wife, Elizabeth, had died in the local Workhouse at Farnham in November of that year. By the time the 1901 census was taken at the beginning of April, William and
were living with Sarah Raven at Highfield Street, Earl Shilton. This must have been rather more than a short visit as Arthur, aged 18, had found work as a shoe hand. Geoff's dad, Reg, also remembers his father, Arthur, being good at repairing shoes. It seems quite logical that the couple in the photograph were brother and sister, William Swinfield and Sarah Raven, both recently widowed.
By 1905 William was back in Camberley and
met his unfortunate end after falling downstairs
. Colleen has told us she has lots more photos which she is currently looking through. We can't wait!
