Samsung Electronics America, a subsidiary of Samsung Electronics Corporation, the number one worldwide brand of LCD display products, today announced the release of its 70 Series Monitors: the P2070, P2370 and P2370HD. These slim LCD monitors, with screen depths of 30 mm (1.18 inches) for the P2070 and P2370 and 65.5mm (2.58 inches) for the P2370HD and Touch of Color (ToC) design, are the latest release of Samsung's high performance displays. "The 70 Series offers our customers a sophisticated-looking LCD monitor with the performance capability of our televisions," said J.H. Kim, President of Samsung Electronics America's Information Technology Division. "The 70 Series is the new standard as more people upgrade their monitors for additional uses, like watching television programs and playing video games." The 70 Series Monitors are ideal for office applications and entertainment with its dynamic contrast ratio (50,000:1) for deep, rich colors, while the 2ms (GTG) video response time minimizes blurring for watching sports and fast-moving gameplay. The crystal-like bezel frame with ToC reduces the reflection of light and glare. The glossy stand offers a polished design, while the clear, crystal-like acrylic neck gives the illusion the monitor is floating. Samsung's Startlight Touch Controls integrate the On Screen Display (OSD) buttons into the bezel for a seamless look and feel, eliminating obtrusive buttons on the front or sides on the panel. Gently touching any of the buttons illuminates the controls which automatically disappear after a set period of time, minimizing distractions. The P2370 offers full HD 1080p resolution (1920x1080) for optimized viewing of HD content. For full HDTV capability, the P2370HD builds on the 1080p capabilities of the P2370 with the addition of a HDTV tuner, integrated speakers with SRS TruSurround HD(r) and remote control. In addition, the P2370HD also has HDMI and component inputs for additional connections such as Blu-Ray, set-top boxes and game consoles providing users with a display that is ready for work and play. "The 70 Series is a great monitor for someone looking a full range of color, sharpness and response. It also has an added benefit for those concerned about the environment. We were sensitive to the impact computers monitors have on the environment and have developed a manufacturing process for the 70 Series that would minimize this," said Tony Yu, Display Product Manager of Samsung Electronics America's Information Technology Division. The 70 Series offers a suite of eco-conscious features including reduced energy consumption, requiring about a third less power to operate compared to typical monitors of similar size. The ToC manufacturing process eliminates harmful paints and sprays, increasing the monitors' recyclability. The slim footprint also dramatically reduces transportation costs and requirements for a smaller carbon footprint. P2070 \ P2370 \ P2370HD LCD Monitors Thin 30 mm screen depth (65.5 mm - P2370HD) High contrast ratio of 50,000:1 Full HD 1080p (1920x1080) resolution (1600x900 – P2070) Fast 2ms (GTG) video response time (5 ms – P2370HD) Reduced power consumption Touch of Color (ToC) technology VOC-free Crystal-like bezel frame to help reduce glare Starlight Touch Controls Built-in 1080p digital HDTV tuner; 5 ms (GTG) video response time and HDMI input (P2370HD) All monitors are available through Samsung resellers and distribution channels, which can be located by calling 1-800-SAMSUNG or by visiting www.samsung.com.

That definitely looks nice, no doubt about it. But I'd like to know... whatever happened about that new 16:9 resolution that was supposed to become a standard? With a resolution 20XX x 11XX. Because there's no point on getting a 16:9 1080p when a 16:10 1200p/1600p has more resolution.
16:10 has basically died. 16:10 came out because it was cheaper. Factories set to make 1600x1200 panels, could reuse the tech to make 1920x1200 panels. Now that tech has revved up on the TV side of things for 1080P, 1080P is cheaper so 16:10 is slowly being phased out. Higher res will come out sooner or later in 16:9, but that will take another year or two at least.
The resolution of my 3007WFP-HC is 16:10, and for the average consumer, this is better. With 24 inch 1080p monitors, you have less pixels stretched across the same space. It doesn't even matter. The industry will go forward until 30 inch monitors are affordable, or until they figure out that you can't run a 30 inch monitor with a TN panel. Since 1080p has become standard, it is no longer important, and the 30 inch monitors are what decide the fate of the industry. So far, they're only 16:10. Everything always goes up.
Better for whom? the TV and movie industry uses 16:9, and thats whats driving the screens. 16:9 has already won that field, so thats what new monitors are going to be made for. your 30" dell is rather old. It might be awesome and have great specs, but its still 'old' technology. Also, get your facts straight. I have one of those monitors, and there aint any stretching whatsoever. your monitor is the one that does stretching or scaling with black bars, when watching widescreen movies and TV. 30" monitors decide the fate of the industry? why the hell would they do that.
He means that there are less pixels in the same amount of space, meaning they are spaced out further. And actually, neither 16:9 nor 16:10 are proper for movies. Movies are actually much wider in aspect. And I don't think 16:10 is going anywhere. It's still better for productivity than 16:9, no matter how you look at it. More resolution, is still better. Movies are a secondary consideration.
DVD movies, and many (not all, thats for sure) Blu ray movies are 16:9. They may not be FILMED in that aspect ratio, but thats what they are when you buy them. 16:10 is already going away... look at the news posts recently (last 2-3 months) we've seen 16:9 after 16:9. I cant even recall the last time a company announced a new 16:10 screen.
There have been a bunch of 16:10 released. They just aren't the current rage right now, so you don't hear headlines about them. Almost every manufacturer has released an updated 16:10 line this year. And to point something else out, all of these 16:9 monitors are Tn-Film. Unless they release these in M/PVA or IPS, 16:10 will never go away. Pros won't buy a Tn-Film panel. And no, most BD's are not in 16:9, check again. Most of them still letterbox on a 16:9 screen.
Mussels, please. I expect better from you. We all do. The TV industry uses 16:9, but HD hasn't even won half the market, in which case for viewing 4:3, 16:10 is most definitely better. The movie industry uses 2.35:1 aspect ratio! All new movies come out in this, and frankly? The only way to watch that is with a monitor setup like mine, where you have two monitors beside each other. And that's not what the consumer wants in any case. It's their ridiculous idea and it's stupid. What's 'driving' monitors is and has always been PC use. They come out with 1080p monitors exactly because it's cheaper, and everyone complains. For desktop use, there is no way around it - 16:10 is better. My Dell 3007WFP-HC is "old"? What, just because it's 16:10? That means it's not old in any way, because the resolution that everyone wants for their desktops is 16:10. Watching movies on it is useless anyway because of the 2.35:1 aspect ratio. I have my facts straight. You simply need to get your wits about you, friend. It doesn't stretch movies, it adds black bars, just like the 16:9 monitors when watching movies. The bars are just slightly bigger - big whoop. And what it does stretch is the desktop. You get an uneven pixel dot pitch because what once was 1920x1200 is now 1920x1080 on the same amount of space. I have a 1080p 24-inch monitor, and I know from experience. As for your benevolent question. The direction in which any industry is going defines its future and fate. Since 24 inch monitors are the current 'generation', which is to say, the 'affordable' line of monitors have gone all the way up to 24 inches, the only place to go is 30 inches. Why? Because the industry is also determined mostly by resolution. You have 24, 25, 26, 27 and 28-inch monitors which all cost about the same because they use the same type of cheap-ass TN panel with the exact same amount of pixels, going up in terms of dot-pitch across the span. Now where are things going? 30 inchers. That will also be the end of the current phase of the industry, because no company will ever sell a monitor larger than 30 inches. The next phase? Probably lower dot pitch, but who knows. Point is, the goal now is either for everyone to be able to get 30 inch monitors, or to realize that that's not possible and move to the next phase.
That is utter bullshit. What is wrong with you today? Blu-ray and HD-DVD movies come ONLY in 2.35:1 aspect ratios. For years people have been complaining about this and I even made the statement a few months ago that it is absolutely ridiculous that a modern-day movie takes up HALF of my WIDEscreen monitor. I mean hey, everyone knows that anything that doesn't black bars at the top and bottom of the screen isn't 'coo' right? Right?! 16:10 IS NOT GOING AWAY! As much as you hate, despise, loath and want to bury 16:10 in your garden and have your dog shit on it, it's here to stay! The reason all the recent news posts regard 16:9 monitors, is because, JUST like the meaning design and worthless width of a monitor, companies now think that when people see the word '1080p' they will buy their products without thinking twice. The market is stupid, companies adapt. They could say '1200p (16L10)', but you understand how everything has to be marketed to the lower common-denominator, I hope. The truth is I wouldn't be caught dead buying one of those thin TN-panel monitors. They disgust me just as much as the useless 1080p resolution. Those 120 vertical pixels make a surprising bit of difference. Look at every monitor-manufacturing company. You'll see they DISCRETELY introduce 16:10 monitors and there will still be ones coming out in the future. 1080p is for idiots who don't know not to buy TN. Serious people, like me, only buy S-PVA or S-IPS. Which is why my monitors can NEVER become 'old'.. they're perfect forever. Oh yes, also.. DVD movies? You want to watch 480p video on a 1080p monitors? That would look so bad, it wouldn't even be worth it to buy a DVD player. Not to mention that after looking through my small DVD collection, I see that about half of the movies I own are not 16:9. They're either too old and are 4:3, or too new and thus 2:35:1.
I never said that all BD movies are in 16:9. i said some. Pros are a pretty small portion of the market. 99% of consumers dont even know there are different panel types. The rest of this is for Weer: Thanks for calling my opinions bullshit. Thanks for saying you expect more from me. Sorry to say, but i dont give a damn. They are my opinions, and TPU's rules say i am allowed to share my opinion as much as i want so long as i dont insult other members. I've followed that rule, you just broke it. Movies i have on hand in 1080P (REAL 1080P, no bars, no stretching) from the blu ray or HD-DVD format: Office space Get smart Hellboy 2 5 Centimeters per second paprika Everything i'm saying is an opinion, which i can back up with facts or theories. All you're doing is offering me insults.
High end high res monitors will allways be 16:10, this is for cad ect, they wont go away, bluray has 5 years left on its lifespan, so that isnt a factor, super HD is on the horizon, this will require more space and higher res than BR.
Now that I buy my T260HD they have to release these =\ cdawall, you wanna do a straight trade for a new one?
what is exactly super HD? is it the upgrade of HD, such as HD dvd's lost to blue-ray and now super HD will take out Blue-ray? what are the specifications of super HD as i just googled it like 4 different ways and found nothing. and those monitors look nice, but i would hate to see all the finger prints after a week of owning it lol. i wonder what type of panel my lcd is... EDIT: after some googling i found my monitor is a TN panel lol but idc, and i don't hold anything against TN panels as it looks just fine to me, though i suppose i would need to see a S-PVA/S-IPS to know the diff
After reading all the comments, forget 16:9, and forget 16:10. Industries should just move straight to Cinema aspect ration, 21:9, just like Pihilips pulled out that 46" 21:9 TV, so can other companies, and that would be DE shit. I know people are not stupid enough that if they have a 16:10 Monitor of 1920x1200 they would go buy a 1920x1080 just because it's 16:9. That would just be very retarded. They would move to 2560x1600, which is yet another 16:10 aspect ratio. But if 30" monitors with a super high resolution like this on 16:9 ratio is released, that' what would rock. Monitor technology is slow, until we get to see affordable OLED monitors like 5 years from now.
Yep, i've seen the 21:9 Philips. Nice isnt is? Re the Samsungs... notice the very stylish stand... but with very limited adjustments... I guess the manufacturers have realised there is a lot of cost in making adjustable stands, yet, most people dont make use of the feature and just sit the screen flat and square, 15cm off the table. VESA mounts seem to be going out of fashion.
Yup, and that would be this beauty right here: One day, hopefully not too long from now, I'll get my hands on that beauty.

The Ravens are in discussions with former Oakland Raiders first-round middle linebacker Rolando McClain, according to sources with knowledge of the situation. The talks could lead to a short-term contract, likely a one-year deal without a major financial commitment. However, nothing has been finalized yet, per sources. McClain, 23, is a former eighth overall pick from Alabama who was recently cut by the Raiders. He was an All-American for the Crimson Tide, but off-field problems and inconsistent play have plaged him in the NFL. McClain has 246 tackles, 6 1/2 sacks and one interception in three NFL seasons. He started nine games last season for Oakland and had 62 tackles, one sack and one forced fumble. He cleared waivers Monday after being released last Friday. McClain was due a $4.05 million salary in 2013 and $5.805 million in 2014, but none of that money is due now that his contract terminated and no one picked it up. The Ravens have a need at inside linebacker due to Ray Lewis' retirement, Dannell Ellerbe signing a $35 million contract to join the Miami Dolphins and Jameel McClain still not fully cleared to play following a spinal cord contusion. McClain attended the same school as Ravens general manager Ozzie Newsome, who has previously drafted fellow Crimson Tide players such as outside linebacker Courtney Upshaw, nose guard Terrence Cody and former outside linebacker Jarret Johnson.

Online Store
The Official Online RBS 6 Nations Store is open. The store has everything you need to get behind your team during the RBS 6 Nations, plus the store is now fully stocked with a much wider range of rugby merchandise.
Whatever happens from this weekend to the finale on St. Patrick's Day, the six weeks in between will provide spectacular evidence of how the RBS 6 Nations has gone global as never before. It will be followed by more people in more countries than ever, consolidating its enduring status from Norway to Nepal as the most popular annual international event in world sport.
Average television audiences for the 15 matches last year worked out at more than 8,000,000 per game, a substantial increase on ten years ago. Figures released by the Six Nations' commercial director Dave Kavanagh reveal that the BBC's average peak audiences in the UK last year were up twelve per cent with a high of 9.5m for England-France.
The most startling increase is in the use of this site, www.rbs6nations.com. Website traffic figures have more than doubled in three years, from 2,226,715 in 2008 to 4,771,304 last year. More than half came from the UK, the best part of half a million from the United States of America, 300,000-plus from France, almost 300,000 from Ireland and a shade above 200,000 from Italy.
Commercially, the Six Nations under chief executive John Feehan performs annually at a level reached only by the World Cup once every four years. Gross revenue from television, sponsorship and ticket sales now tops £300m-a-year with a net profit from this year's tournament of more than £70m this year to be distributed among the six competing countries.
The figures are being delivered in spite of the deepest post-war recession. 'The Six Nations is what keeps Northern Hemisphere rugby afloat,' Feehan said. 'And remember this is all done over no more than 15 matches. We now have record television audiences and the numbers are so huge that they will be hard to increase. You can't have a record every year.'
The organisers have managed the trick of taking the event world-wide while keeping the stadia full or nearly full. Last year's aggregate figure of 911,448 represented 95 per cent of capacity and it would have been higher still had it not been for the Scotland-Italy attendance dropping to 42,464.
This year's fixtures carry the potential to push the total into seven figures, not least because Italy's temporary move to the Olympic Stadium in Rome already ensures all box-office records will be broken for the England match on Saturday week with a projected crowd of 65,000.
The Six Nations is different in so many respects, not least in its refusal to follow the common herd and adopt the bonus points awarded just about everywhere else, including the World Cup to the three major European Leagues. They will stay with the old-fashioned two points for a win, one for a draw.
'In our case, the scoring system is tried and trusted,' Feehan said. 'It works exceptionally well, year in, year out. The Six Nations has gone to the wire every year and I think this is probably the most open championship of the last ten years. France would have to be marginal favourites with the Irish and Welsh not too far behind but I don't have a clue who's going to win it. And that's the beauty of the Six Nations.'
Five different winners in five years may be asking for too much but not if Scotland meet Andy Robinson's no-excuses attitude in demanding a winning start against England at Murrayfield on Saturday and following up with another in Cardiff eight days later. The smart money will be on the Scots reminding their greenhorn opponents of the harsher realities of Six Nations life.
So many Red Rose regulars have fallen victim to the inevitable post-World Cup cull carried out by caretaker coach Stuart Lancaster that Robinson will barely recognise this England line-up from the one he picked for his last match in charge at Twickenham, against South Africa in November 2006. Tom Palmer is the only man left standing from the starting XV, seven of whom have long since retired – Josh Lewsey, Ben Cohen, Peter Richards, Phil Vickery, Joe Worsley, Pat Sanderson and Martin Corry.
Far better England teams than the one at Lancaster's disposal have failed to cope with Murrayfield as a number of distinguished captains headed by Will Carling know to their cost. The year before they reached the 1991 World Cup final, Carling's England flew north supposedly to collect the Grand Slam only for Scotland to make it theirs from the moment David Sole and his team did their famous slow walk from the dressing-room.
History repeated itself ten years later in 2000, at least in terms of England falling at the final hurdle. Another Grand Slam awaited them, this time under Matt Dawson's leadership while Martin Johnson nursed a broken hand. The denouement to that tournament, the first in the Six Nations, proved every bit as traumatic from an English perspective as the one a decade earlier.
It proved to be not so much a game of two halves as a game of two climates. A first half of spring sunshine having deteriorated into the predicted Arctic squalls, Scotland adapted to the conditions for an inspired Duncan Hodge to steer them home against an auld enemy numb in mind and body.
There is, of course, a first time for everything but if Scotland are to break out of their natural habitat of recent years in the bottom half of the table they will have to do more than use Edinburgh's thrilling deeds in Europe to end a chronic shortage of tries and send England off to think again. Wales at the Millennium Stadium the following Sunday promises to be a more severe test, all the more so if the World Cup semi-finalists fall in Dublin this Sunday.
France kick the jamboree off against Italy in Paris with several sound reasons for thinking that new coach Philippe Saint-Andre will win the title at the first attempt. Three home matches is another reason to support the theory of a Grand Slam finale in Cardiff on March 17.
Nobody will be surprised should Ireland use their provincial success in Europe to make a winning start in avenging what the rejuvenated Welsh did to them in Wellington last October. Having changed attitudes since his elevation to the captaincy, Sam Warburton now faces another forbidding challenge – to show that his ambitious young squad can cope with high expectation and a few injuries.
The trick, as always with the Six Nations, is to spot the surprise result which invariably makes a mockery of any attempt to forecast the final pecking order. Nostradamus would probably be wise enough to give it a wide berth but here goes:
1 Wales, 2 France, 3 Ireland, 4 Scotland, 5 England, 6 Italy

Motivation, humor, and ideas that every school-based
speech-language pathologist will love!
Have You Ever Thrown a Surprise Test in Speech Therapy? [Free Download]
Sometimes, I hear my older students talking in the hallways between classes. They often speak about how an upcoming test is making them feel nervous, anxious, or just plain scared. Tests and quizzes are necessary evils, but I try to do my part to show my students that tests are not as bad as they think they are. Heck, some tests can even be enjoyable! To prove this point, I like to sometimes shoot them a surprise test when they come to speech therapy, but not just any test. This receptive language test is one that I created that truly demonstrates the importance of paying attention to instructions in a nice, lighthearted manner. I call it the Following Instructions in Speech Therapy Test.
Yes, I know that the name is not all that exciting . . .
But let me tell you, this test is everything but boring. It's loads and loads of fun to give and take!
How much fun is it, you ask?
Well, it's just so much fun that everyone in the speech therapy room usually laughs his or her head off! (Please note: I'm not responsible for any medical bills you might have to pay because excessive laughter caused your noggin to fall off.)
Wanna learn more about my test? (Of course you do!)
First, you have to CLICK HERE to download it. Then, print it out, give it to your students, and say something along the lines of, "Today, each of you will be taking a surprise test in speech therapy. It's a test that let's me see just how good you are at following instructions. There will be no talking for the next 5 minutes and I'm not able to answer any questions. Just please read and complete the test. Once the time is up, we will all talk about the test together. Now, let's begin."
During the 5-minute countdown, I usually start to hear them clapping, barking, and pretending to sneeze. This obviously means that they have failed the test because, as number 14 clearly states, all of those questions were to be ignored, but yet, they still did them.
Why is that?!
Simple. It's because they didn't read the instructions carefully (if at all!). They saw the format of the test and automatically started going from one question to the next. It's a mindless routine where most students rush to get done first, but I want my students to be better than that. I want to get them sharp. I want them to be aware of my tricks because if they can start to spot my tricks, chances are they will start to become more observant while completing their other school assignments, too. This is just one example of how this specific test sets the stage for future successes in learning!
It also sets the stage for insightful dialogue.
After my students realize that they didn't follow the instructions on the test correctly, we begin to talk about other scenarios where not paying attention to instructions could get them into a bit of a pickle. Some situations that have been mentioned before are not paying attention to written instructions while doing a science experiment or not paying attention to instructions when learning how to drive a car for the first time.
In addition . . .
We often get into a rather eye-opening conversation as to WHY tests make us feel so nervous, anxious, or scared. The back-and-forth discussion between everyone usually results in some "ah-ha moments" where the students realize, "Well, I guess the only tests I'm really scared of are the ones that I don't study for."
We, as educators, can nag our students to "remember to study!" or "remember to read all the instructions!" until our faces turn blue, but it isn't until they actually realize it, for themselves, that our suggestions actually start to stick. I believe this silly, little test can begin to help start the "sticking process" because I have seen it, happen in my own speech therapy room.
In closing . . .
This receptive language test totally shines light onto the subject of using your careful looking eyes to take in any and all information that pertains to the task at hand. Once you do that, the surprise test doesn't really seem all that scary. So, do you think you could somehow incorporate my Following Instructions in Speech Therapy Test into an upcoming session? Do you think your older speech therapy students would fall for this trap? As always, I would love to hear from you. Please let me know how speech therapy idea goes over with your kiddos.
Listen Close Articulation is a Speech Therapy Game Your Students Will Love to Play
Is it snowing outside? If so, I'm one of the first people to dash out of the house to play a wacky game in the cold where I toss snowballs everywhere. Is there a huge pile of leaves in your backyard? You better believe I'll jump straight into those leaves and create a game where I throw leaves all over the place. Good times! Good times, indeed.
So, why do I adore such silly little games?
It's because I like to have fun. Period.
If you're a speech-language pathologist that works with school-aged children, you better like to have fun because fun is a must. That's exactly why I create all of my speech therapy activities by tapping into my inner child. I often think back to my younger years and say to myself, "Erik, think of some of the most fun times you ever experienced as a kiddo. Now, try to sprinkle some aspects of those fun times on top of your next speech therapy activity." Visions of me playing fun games as a child always come to mind and that is essentially how my latest app, Listen Close Articulation, came to be.
Oh yeah, I just made a new app and I want to tell you all about it.
Remember that classic electronic memory game from the 1980s called Simon? (Google it if you don't remember it.) Simon was one of my most favorite games to play while growing up. In fact, I have the best memories of my grandmother and I eating pizza together and challenging each other to Simon competitions where we would attempt to repeat those flashing lights and sounds. Trying to memorize the hypnotic lights and sound sequences was such a blast. So, I wanted to create an app for my speech therapy students that had similar fun components to Simon, but was grounded in a solid speech therapy foundation. Well, guess what? I succeeded!
Say hello to Listen Close Articulation.
Listen Close Articulation is a unique speech therapy game (app) that challenges players to memorize and repeat an ever-increasing string of articulation word sequences. It features a comprehensive collection of over 600 sound-specific articulation words designed for SLPs to use with individuals who exhibit difficulty producing the following speech sounds: S, Z, R, L, S/R/L Blends, SH, CH, and TH. The game is intended to aid in the remediation of articulation impairments, as well as auditory memory difficulties because clients often need practice in more than one area of communication.
The best of both worlds.
Just like the old-school Simon game, Listen Close Articulation is both challenging and exciting. Traditional speech therapy that focuses on improving articulation abilities can usually get stale and boring, but through this game, speech therapy can easily become an enjoyable competition that strengthens students' listening ears, talking mouths, and thinking brains. A round of Listen Close Articulation consists of buttons (faces) saying articulation words in a random order, after which the student must reproduce that order by pressing the faces in the correct sequence. As the game progresses, the number of faces to be pressed increases.
Listen Close Articulation is fun. Period.

Googly Eyes and Speech Therapy are a Match Made in Heaven
In an attempt to get a bit more organized, I decided it was time for me to rearrange, reorganize, and essentially clean out my speech therapy filing cabinet. As I was going through the gigantic, paper filled metal container, I came across a medium-size, sealed envelope. One that I had never seen before. There was something about that mysterious envelope; I could almost hear it call out to me in a magical voice, "Open me, Mr. Raj. Do it!"
Well, I did as I was told (because who wouldn't listen to a coaxing envelope?! Haha!) and to my surprise, it was filled to the brim with little googly eyes! Hundreds and hundreds of googly eyes! I hit the googly eyes jackpot and now, all I needed was an idea - what should I do with all these googly eyes? Then, I came up with a plan:
I can use them to make my boring flashcards more exciting!
Over the past few years, I have accumulated dozens and dozens of miscellaneous flashcard decks. From sight words to geography facts, and everything in between. Upon the initial purchase, these flashcards got used once or twice, but then they'd usually be forgotten and thrown into one of my desk drawers. I'm not sure what triggered me to grab my random animals flashcard deck, but I'm happy that I did because what I did next was pretty awesome.
I glued googly eyes to one of the flashcards!
The flashcard was a cow and as I was glueing the new peepers onto it, I chuckled so hard. "Boy, that cow looks hilarious!" I whispered to myself.
Something old was now something new!
What was once just a tired, old cow flashcard, now was something new; a flashcard that had pop and pizzaz, thanks to the addition of the new googly eyes!
I knew my students would dig this!
Over the next few sessions, I enlisted a few 2nd and 3rd grades to help me glue googly eyes on all 56 of those particular animal flashcards. Here are some of my favorites. While we were glueing, loads of spontaneous conversation occurred that revolved around the animals and their newly created silly faces. Together, we categorized the animals (farm animals, ocean animals, flying animals, etc.), we described the animals (big animals, small animals, animals with wings, etc.), and we even spoke like the animals (the cow went moo, the rooster went cock-a-doodle-doo, the monkey went ooo ooo ahh ahh, etc.).
It didn't stop there! We kept going!
My 6th graders came up with the fantastic idea to actually stick the googly eyes on other things, besides the flashcards. Together, we walked around the speech therapy room and found items that we thought would look so much better sporting googly eyes. For example, a water bottle, a random ball, and even a staple remover. In addition, since these specific students were working on verbally telling and retelling stories with rich details, they used their newly created googly eyed items as the main characters of their stories. You should have heard the one about the googly eyed box that threw up paperclips and how it needed to take medicine to feel better. It was a marvelous tale and I believe that having the physical character right in front of that student helped him to better think up and describe the details of his original story. SCORE!
In closing . . .
Googly eyes are so simple, yet so powerful. These little plastic pieces do wonders for the imagination and they are ideal for all ages ranges. I was pumped to randomly find that envelope filled with 'em. The possibilities are truly endless if you have a pile of googly eyes and virtually all goals and objectives can be targeted. Do you think your students would have a blast sticking googly eyes on stuff? I bet cha they would because we sure did! If you end up giving this speech therapy idea a try, please let me know how it goes because I always enjoy hearing from you.
Hilarious Quotes From the Speech Therapy Room
I'm sure you've heard the saying before. Something along the lines of "Kids say the darndest things." Oh, how true that is! As a speech-language pathologist that works with school-aged children, my ears have had the pleasure of hearing some of the most hilarious quotes from my fantastic speech therapy students. In fact, because I have heard so many good ones, 2 years ago I decided to keep track of all the amazing quotes by writing them down in a notebook.
You guys, I just hit a major milestone . . .
As of a few days ago, I have added the 100th quote to my notebook and I couldn't be happier. As my notebook grows with oodles of quotes from speech therapy kiddos, I can't stop thinking about why some quotes make it into the notebook, and why some don't. I haven't set a specific criteria that defines what it takes to make it into my notebook, but I suppose the quote in question has to throw me for a loop in some way and cause me to chuckle. That's a pretty good starting point, don't cha think?
My favorite quote so far?
Almost every single one of my friends have asked me, "So Erik, what is your favorite quote so far?" Yikes, that's tough to answer because I believe that it's impossible to choose a single quote. I mean, each one has its own unique quality to it that makes it shine and makes it special.
But I can tell you about the first quote.
This is the quote that started it all and inspired me to begin collecting these verbal gems in my notebook. It was said by a charismatic 2nd grader while we were doing an ocean themed articulation activity. The boy expressed to me, "Mr. Raj, when I'm old like you, I'm gonna invent medicine that can turn me into an octopus because that would be fun."
Wow! Love it! Where do I even begin?!
Well, firstly, did he just call me old?! Haha! But seriously, in my opinion, this quote is beautiful because it perfectly communicates the wondrous imagination of that child. Also, I view this quote as a possible expression of this student's potential future. He mentioned making medicine, so maybe he will grow up to be a pharmacist? He mentioned an octopus, so maybe he will grow up to be a marine biologist? Who knows, but one thing is certain - he absolutely will grow up to be something great and it brings me pure joy to know that I was able to provide speech therapy services to him.
In closing . . .
Are you keeping track of quotes said by the children on your caseload? I hope you are because, for lack of a better way of putting it, it rocks! And hey, you never know, maybe the next spectacular quote to change your life just might come out of the mouth of one of your speech therapy students. With that being said, it's a wise idea to have a pen and notebook handy for that occasion!

Resume Writing Market your Career, Find a Resume Writer & More....
A Résumé is a document used by individuals to present their background and skill sets. Résumés can be used for a variety of reasons but most often to secure new employment. A typical résumé contains a summary of relevant job experience and education. The résumé is usually one of the first items, along with a cover letter and sometimes job application packet, that a potential employer encounters regarding the job seeker and is typically used to screen applicants, often followed by an interview when seeking employment. The résumé is comparable to a curriculum vitae(CV).
A reverse chronological résumé enumerates a candidate's job experiences in reverse chronological order, generally covering the last 10 to 15 years. Positions are listed with start and end dates. Current active positions on a résumé typically have the start date listed to present or the current year. Both are considered acceptable.
The reverse chronological résumé format is most commonly used by those who are not professional résumé writers. In using this format, the main body of the document becomes the Professional Experience section, starting from the most recent experience going chronologically backwards through a succession of previous experience. The reverse chronological résumé works to build credibility through experience gained, while illustrating career growth over time and filling all gaps in a career trajectory. A chronological résumé is not recommended in the event that the job seeker has gaps in his career summary.
A functional résumé lists work experience and skills sorted by skill area or job function.
The functional résumé is used to assert a focus to skills that are specific to the type of position being sought. This format directly emphasizes specific professional capabilities and utilizes experience summaries as its primary means of communicating professional competency. In contrast, the chronological résumé format will briefly highlight these competencies prior to presenting a comprehensive timeline of career growth via reverse-chronological listing with most recent experience listed first. The functional résumé works well for those making a career change, having a varied work history and with little work experience. A functional résumé is also preferred for applications to jobs that require a very specific skill set or clearly defined personality traits. A functional résumé is a good method for highlighting particular skills or experience, especially when those particular skills or experience may have derived from a role which was held some time ago. Rather than focus on the length of time that has passed, the functional résumé allows the reader to identify those skills quickly.
1. Your resume is a marketing tool, you are trying to sell yourself to employers and recruiters. Your resume should be up to date, easy to read and should reflect your experience, skills, education and certifications. Always include up to date contact information.
2. Make sure there are no typos in your resume. Proofread your resume, and have someone else proofread it before sending it to employers.
3. Include a valid email and phone number, not your WORK email or WORK phone number. 4. If you choose to include an OBJECTIVE at the top of your resume, make it brief and to the point. Your resume will be reviewed for 30 seconds, you need to get the attention of the hiring employer to make it to a fuller review of your credentials.
5. 2 page resumes are best unless you have written extensively in your field and wish to include lists of those accomplishments. 6. Tailor your resume for the job. You may need to have several resumes based on the job you are seeking. For example, you may be seeking a consultant position and a corporate public relations position. Create a resume to highlight your consulting experience and another resume highlighting your corporate public relations experience. 7. We recommend hiring a professional resume writer to write your resume whether it is your first job or you are an experienced employee. The resume writer will assist you in the type of resume (chronological or functional) and give you other advice on formatting your resume that makes it easy for employers to focus on your strengths and skills.

Say Ron's in this town, and 99 out of 100 people will think of tasty homemade chili, sizzling burgers, hand-cut fries and fast efficient service.
I love to kid around with service people, to see what kind of reaction I get, and because I like to interact with people and have some fun. Also, I am always curious if there really is a Duffy, a Mario or a Ron.
So when I walked into Ron's Hamburgers at 15th and Sheridan and said, "So, where's Ron?" I wasn't prepared for the answer I got. "He's off today sir, but he'll be back tomorrow."
Whether or not it was true, here's a guy who stays focused on his business after 35 years and, frankly, it shows. He might not be coming in tomorrow, but it's scripted to sound that way. Good technique and attention to detail.
On a recent Saturday afternoon, the joint was jumpin'. We sat in a booth and within a minute had menus, silverware and soft drinks.
I ordered a cup of chili to start. It was hot, creamy and flavorful. Not overpowered with onions and garlic and not greasy, it had the perfect blend of ingredients along with meat.
I think he thickens his chili with a little bit of masa flour, a primary ingredient in tortillas, tamales and other Mexican fare. It adds a great corn finish to chili without the starchy feel and taste of regular flour. I like my chili spicy enough to "set me free," so I had to dump a bunch of hot sauce in it.
My wife, who the family affectionately calls, "macaroni mouth" was able to eat it and enjoy it, too, so it will work for anyone. You can get it about a jillion different ways: cups, bowls, a two-way (chili on a bed of spaghetti), a three-way (a two-way with beans), Frito pie, a polish three-way and on and on.
I couldn't decide between a pretty creative selection of menu items for a hamburger place. A sausage burger, (half ground beef, half Owen's sausage), patty melt, B.L.T., Turkey melt or this one, the "Buster." It's half beef, half Owens sausage, Cured 81 ham, American and pepper jack cheeses, bacon, fried onion, lettuce, tomato, and pickle. All available for under $7. Unless of course you want the double for $9.75! Yikes!
I finally decided the best way to try out one of Ron's burgers is not to smother it with stuff, so I ordered a plain cheeseburger with a little mustard and lettuce. It comes in two sizes, a three ounce or a five ounce burger.
My burger was hot and juicy and crusty on the outside. It was served on a griddle toasted bun. You know how the good burger places put the bun top on the burger to heat it and it gets that thin layer of hamburger juices and splatters from the grill? That's how they do it. It was great.
My wife chose a "Polish Dog" with fried onions. It was very tasty; although to her disappointment, they didn't toast her bun the same way they did mine. It was smothered in fried, (and I mean deep fried) onions. They were crisp on the edges and tender in the center; although a bit greasy. They could eliminate that by dumping them out on a paper towel or drip tray.
We shared a half order of fries and left about a third of them because it was just too much. I can't imagine a full order. I also ordered a side of slaw, and it was great. Tangy, crispy and just creamy enough, it was just right. A little on the burger set it off just right!
The décor is decidedly utilitarian. Exactly what you would expect from a busy chili and burger joint. A long counter runs the length of the main dining room with easy access for single diners. Formica tables with '50s style diner chairs fill the three dining rooms.
The service is fast and efficient, friendly without being conversational, (these girls were moving all the time), and we were in and out in less than 25 minutes. Ron's T-shirts fill a glass counter by the register, and everyone knows their job and how to "git 'er done."
The paper carry-out menu boasts awards from Tulsa People, (of course) Urban Tulsa Weekly and the International Chili Society. They've got an organization for everything.
It's a great place to stop in for lunch or dinner, or a mid afternoon "Double Buster." That is if you've got the rest of the day to take a nap.

Spartans turn up the heat on No. 3 Warriors
With temperatures outside hovering around 1 above Saturday night, the Superior High School boys basketball team heated things up inside the SHS gym with a 76-60 win over the Rice Lake Warriors.
With temperatures outside hovering around 1 above Saturday night, the Superior High School boys basketball team heated things up inside the SHS gym with a 76-60 win over the Rice Lake Warriors.
The Warriors entered the game ranked No. 3 among Division 2 schools in Wisconsin, but it was the Spartans who jumped out to an 11-0 lead and never looked back.
"I thought our defense gave them a ton of problems which resulted in us being able to get out and run on them," SHS coach Dave Kontny said. "You could see it early that they were tired and we took advantage of our athleticism and speed and got some easy looks.
"I'm proud of our kids, they really came ready to play. We were everywhere on defense and our rotations tonight were outstanding."
Superior went on to lead 23-16 after the first quarter, 41-27 at the half and 57-45 after three quarters.
Erick Tunell led the Spartans with 17 points, nine steals and eight assists. Nick Mehlum added 16 points, Ben Erickson had 15 points and six rebounds and Derek Kontny had 11 points.
Henry Ellenson, a 6-foot-9 sophomore, led Rice Lake with 30 points and 18 rebounds despite sitting out a stretch of about six minutes in the second half with four fouls.
"Henry's a great player and it's obvious why he is a big-time Division I player," Kontny said. "We did a great job focusing on making the other guys make mistakes, and when we play with that kind of intensity we are a very good team."
Superior (11-2) also got six points from Bryan Sanders, five points from Anthony Valentine, four from Jordan Hughes and two from Carter Anderson.
"You could just feel the energy in the gym tonight and our kids just fed off of it," Kontny said. "We hurt them offensively with our balance, and all eight guys contributed with big baskets at different times. We also did a great job handling their pressure, forcing the tempo: and beating the No. 1 team in the Big Rivers Conference speaks for itself.
"I'm so proud of our kids, each one contributed on both ends of the court and as a coach when you see them playing for one another with so much emotion you know you're doing something right. We can enjoy this one for a day or so but it's back to work to get ready for East on Tuesday."
The game with East was postponed because of cold weather. That game will now be played at 7:45 p.m. on Jan. 31 at Duluth East.
The Spartans play next at Ashland at 7:15 p.m. Friday and at Chippewa Falls at 7:30 p.m. on Jan. 29.
SPARTAN SPIN: The SHS JV fell to 11-2 with a 61-53 loss to Rice Lake's JV. The Spartans were led by Nate Sanders' 16 points. John Lindberg added nine points and Jake Libal had eight. … The Superior freshmen improved to 11-0 with a 51-30 win.
Rice Lake 16-11-18-15—60
Superior 23-18-14-19—76
Rice Lake—Ben Widdes 3, Adam West 5, Shawn Magee 2, Henry Ellenson 30, Brandyn Christman 7, Ellwood Ellenson 10, Austin Angel 3.
3-pointer: Widdes, West, H. Ellenson, Christman.
Superior—Ben Erickson 15; Jordan Hughes 4; Carter Anderson 2; Nick Melhum 16; Derek Kontny 11; Bryan Sanders 6; Erick Tunell 17; Anthony Valentine 5.
3-pointers: Tunell 2; Kontny 2.

By Drew Brooks Staff writer
Lt. Col. Roy Tisdale was killed last year, but his memory lives on at Fort Bragg.
Tisdale was honored Sunday on Fort Bragg, at the Cape Fear River Trail and various others locations around the world as soldiers, friends and family organized runs in his honor.
The Running with Roy campaign spread on social media in response to the Tisdale family's plans to honor his memory Sunday with a half-marathon in Florida.
Tisdale, commander of the 525th Brigade Special Troops Battalion, 525th Battlefield Surveillance Brigade, was murdered last June during a safety briefing.
Lt. Col. Jeff Leopold, deputy commanding officer of the 525th Battlefield Surveillance Brigade, was a friend and colleague of Tisdale's.
He and other leaders in the brigade wear bracelets etched with Tisdale's name and June 28, 2012, the date he was shot and killed.
"I'm here to honor Roy and his family," Leopold said. "We're here to show our support."
Nearly 75 people participated at the Cape Fear River Trail, including members of local groups Team Red White and Blue and Wear Blue: Run to Remember.
Dana Leopold said she was amazed by the turnout and other efforts around the world that included similar events in Texas, Virginia, Afghanistan, Qatar and Africa.
"It just caught on like lightning," she said.
Jeff Leopold said the turnout isn't surprising.
"It's how many lives Roy Tisdale touched," he said.
Leopold said his friend, with whom he deployed to Afghanistan, would have been honored and humbled to see the turnout.
"He didn't seek a lot for himself," he said. "Roy was more concerned for his unit."
Tisdale, 42, of Alvin, Texas, has been described as a man dedicated to his family, committed to his soldiers and willing to risk all for his country.
He was survived by a wife, Kim, and two children, Megan and Lane.
At his funeral last year, hundreds of strangers gathered in College Station, Texas, to pay their respects. Friends and family traveled from across the country.
A two-time veteran of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, Tisdale was shot and killed during an outdoor briefing ahead of a long weekend.
The shooter, Spc. Ricky Elder, then turned his gun on himself and later died, officials said.
Leopold said the incident was still fresh in the minds of the soldiers of the 525th, but that Fort Bragg officials have provided additional resources to help.
"It has made us stronger, though it's just a terrible thing," he said.

beauty latest news
MAC gets polished
The thing I like about nailpolish over lipstick is quite a selfish one. I can see my nails, but I can't see my lips. So nailpolish can be enjoyed by me as much as by everyone else.
To this end, I was ecstatic that M.A.C has released its first permanent range of nailpolish. The launch, in July 2012, means that now M.A.C Cosmetics lipstick fans can have some of their favourite lip colours on their nails - so you can see it as well as everybody else.
The nail lacquers come in three finishes: cream, frost and pearl (far and away mostly in cremes though) in a total of thirty colours.
Here are some of our favourites:
Morange, a bright cream orange (Cream) and Vintage Vamp, a rich deep wine (Cream)
Girl About Town, a bright blue fuchsia (Cream) and Anti-Fashion, a mid-tone dirty purple with pearl (Frost)
Spirit of Truth, a navy blue (Cream) and Snob, a light neutral pink (Cream)
Here's the full range of thirty colours, which retail for $26 each and are available 20th August at all MAC locations.

Thanks Jean. The story is getting more and more interesting.
I am hoping that Jean will translate for 2 at that point. Maybe as bed time story. Nah, the lad will be too young for this story.
Can someone please tell me if gun powder has been invented yet at that time? If so, I can't imagine it to be that difficult to make a musket.
But, if I was back in Qin dynasty I would want some kevlar. But I can't imagine that XSL would know how to make that.

As promised, my recipe of the week…
Knockout Punch:
3 cups chilled guava nectar
2 cups Malibu rum
2 cups passion fruit nectar
Fresh mint leaves (for garnish)
1 ½ cups chilled ginger ale
1 ½ cups chilled mineral water
1 lime, thinly sliced
Combine the guava nectar, rum, and passion fruit in a punch bowl or pitcher, add the ginger ale, mineral water and lime to the juice and rum mixture and stir. Divide among serving glasses with ice and garnish with mint leaves.
Until next time,
Anna, you are the one who asked Roman what is going on with Adriana and Karante. You know Joanna was pretty drunk and you know how she would feel about Karante being attacked. Your an attorney and you can analyze things well. You basically set up Joanna for your own entertainment. You are very sneaky.
You didnt ask yourself the one question everyone is dying to know!!!!!
"Do I think that Joanna is lying about sleeping with Joe Francis"......YES!!!!
You're a class act. Maybe you could teach the girls a few lessons on "class"....most importanly the people who will throw down in the middle of a charity event. I know you latin women are crazy...but what's Joanna's excuse?
I never thought I would here "Termino como la fiesta del Guatao" on Bravo!!!! Loved it!!!
You do realize that you had a big hand in starting all the Karent hate, right? You all need to grow up. Been to Miami many times, never realized it was filled with such immaturity and high school mean girl mentality. Stirring the pot and then sitting back is just as classless as taking the bait and running with it.
Why don't you stop joining in on the gossip about Karent? I can't believe how immature all of you women are!!
Ana, In your interview you stated that people walk all over your ex husband. Who in the world would hire a lawyer with comments like this .............I wouldn't.
Really? This whole "I hate Karent" club started with you talking about her personale situation as way into the group. I wouldve found this "real" if you wouldve blog same way when it was Alexia who interrupted conversation, when you stopped all the previous silly cmments about articles, when you stopped talking about Karent behind her back...oh wait, that never happened!
Just bcs you sat in a corner w a smile on ur face while it all unfolded, does NOT make your innocent of it all. Shame on you!
you keep on keeping on girlfriend because you are my FAVORITE!
Rodofo is no longer with Karent,guess she was right he preffers younger women! what's funny is that he would tell her to "stop talking about the ladies let's talk about us " he saiid ! UM didn't anyone tell him he was in the "ladies show" that he was irrelevant not the ladies !
Does Joanna have a drinking problem? I think so.
Did she have it coming? yes
Is she the crazy girl? yes
Is Karent responsible for most of the fights that night? yes
Is Karent fake? yes
You forgot some of the important questions. But you pretty much summed it up correctly. Remember Karent was the one accusing you of wanting her boyfriend through her fake smile.
Joanna is out of control when she drinks her boyfriend and sister look like they have had it with her. She's embarrassed her boyfriend almost in every episode.
You write the best blogs and I appreciate your honesty and viewpoint. I think you got it right.
I am a young female attorney with her own private practice and I love to cook! I admire you, I relate to you! Thank you for being a positive role model to so many! Stay class my friend!
Everyone on this show has done their part to stir the pot and there are many episodes left. I am going to wait before i put my hand on the fire for anyone else and end up with egg on my face because anything can happpen. I like individuals not teams so I like Ana and Joanna but can't stand Alexis. I think Karent acts ridiculous and is just so fake. And Lisa is just adorable. The rest I can take'em or leave em.
You made me laugh!
I can answer your stupid question... You started it all!!! By bringing negative comments about Karent among everyone in the first episodes. Of course now you are backing off and looking shocked! Oh please. You stirred the pot and now you are watching it boil.... good job
I like this Q&A a LOT better. Ratatattat and clash! Makes the points and holds up the mirror!
P.S. Three more questions.... Considering how maliciously the ladies spoke of Karent (to her face, and behind her back) regarding the 'botox for brains' article, is it incumbent upon them to apologize to Karent (given the journalist's statement that Karent did not say those words)? Yes. Will any of the ladies apologize (or simply acknowledge to themselves that an apology is warranted)? Probably not. Do viewers like seeing people treated like that? Not at all.
Brandl111 Rockerman Milica
I agree with you regarding how unfairly Karent's been treated, not least by Ana and I agree with your responses to your question 2&3.
However, do they owe (incumbent on them, you say) to apologize? Not in my book. Has nothing to do with magazine. SHOULD they, out of common decency...Yeah, I think so. But that would presume they've each in their own little hearts found either a kernel of forgiveness or, and this more to the point and least likely, they've discovered how wrong they've been.
Rockerman Milica Seriously, what is up with no one on this show admitting they behaved or spoke poorly? I've never seen anything like it! A mark of character is admitting when you're wrong. That's what allows for growth, change, and the opportunity for new and better relationships (with ourselves and with others). The insistence on making petty excuses, or leveling really trite examples in order to defend bad behavior is really disappointing. If someone says, "that's what makes good television" -- I disagree! I love these shows for the resolutions that happen, and for people owning their mistakes. Because we ALL make them.
Milica Brandl111 Rockerman
Joanna is just out of control. It's just amazing how someone so beautiful can really start to look ugly just from her behavior. She acts like a spoiled child!
Tori_66 Milica Brandl111 Rockerman I like Joanna. I think she has more integrity and honesty than most of the other ladies put together. She might have a drinking problem (I can't say if she does or doesn't) and she might be a little ridiculous, but she stands up for what is right and shows disappointment in herself when she's wrong. In watching Adriana explain the fight to Alexia, and watching Alexia's reaction, I had the feeling they were unreachable in their delusion of who they are, how they behave, and how they treat people. I am not trying to level a low blow here, but to be honest, It was like watching two teenagers. Trying to reason with teenagers is difficult, but possible; hence, I hold out hope for everyone...
Brandl111 Tori_66 Milica Rockerman
I agree with you. Alexia is a nasty woman, relishing the gossip and then getting up to leave when Karent checks in with Joanna. Adriana is clearly anxious, repeating her self defense lie. There's some solace in that at least. All in all, a tiresome bunch. Elsa and Lea saved the day.
I smell another houswife cookbook coming....
I just don't get why Karent needs to defend Joanna as she said, but yet did not defend her pocket gay when Lisa wanted him to leave.
mnazario ...Joanna is much prettier & attracts more attention...
I agree with you in all Q and A's .... I will add that Adriana may be highly upset with Karent for stealing the moment "beating her to the tweet", then Joanna does have reasons for being upset with Adriana due to the flirtation she had with Romain, then Adriana took it to heart what Karent said in the article. Adriana had no need to speak with karent at the events and of course the smile kills her....
ibis Adriana feels like she brought Karent to the group, as a result, Karent should "know her place". Ridiculous.
You make a good point about reasons Joanna would be upset w/ Adriana. As far as flirting with Romain...he looked like he was grossed out by Adriana. It's not Adriana she needs to worry about...
Karent Karent Karent Karent. It's really tiring now.
I definitely find you to be my favorite in the Miami bunch. You are sweet but you are not a pushover and you are very level-headed despite the things that go on in your social situations. Just a very classy woman; I like it. :)
I can answer your question: "how does one allow a situation to escalate to the point of no return?" Easily when they have people instigating before events. Adriana is no saint but neither are you. Shame, shame, shame...
Last week's two-part episode was WILD, to say the least. So many people did so many things wrong on so many levels, that I won't even try to comment. I will just say that Ana, you hit the nail on the head with your observations and I couldn't agree more with you. You are not only beautiful, intelligent and talented, but are also the voice of reason and a class act as compared to most of the other crazy women in the cast (not naming names). You always bring dignity and class and never lower yourself to some of the trashy standards that many others on the show often do. For that, as well as many other reasons, I have the utmost respect for you and your family. It's no wonder many in the gay community see you as the classy diva that you are and look up to you . I know I do and love every moment you are on camera. Your friendship and loyalty to Marysol and Alexia are genuine and heartfelt. Many of the other ladies should follow your example.
Excellent post!
I thought the SAME THING! Kudos to Romain for keeping his cool! Karent dragging Joe over to Joanna with Romain standing there was complete negligence! Are you kidding me? Romain really proved himself here. Although Joanna being miss diva again was asking for it to get physical in any one of the fights she involved herself in.
Negligence? That's a bit a strong. I saw a loyal friend doing a loyal act and trusting their relationship. Romeo was cool so no need to worry any longer. A relief I'm sure.
3rd page assesment of Karent is genious! Can't say the other ladies aren't guilty of taking the drama and running with it but Karen't is the negligent pot stirer in the bunch! She may not mean to be damaging but boy does she add gasoline to the fire! Honestly, for someone who is mature and a professional (and has a publicist) I expect her to have sharper social etiquette.
Wow! Well said!
Clearly you were cast as the voice of reason. Every city has one but usually they are not as hot as you. Keep up the good work!
Here's the thing BRAVO when they decide to put a camera on you in the women group setting, you seem to dropping bias undertones in regards to Karent. Than you sit back and watch and play peacemaker. You asked Adrianna if she was going to bring up the article to Karent. Knowing how important the function was to Lisa, it seems the goodness in you would have told Adrianna to take it up another time. I'm still not understanding yours, Alexia, and Adrianna's hatred of Karent. It can't be over a silly article where the comments seems to be grouped and not even specifically naming an individual. How about you trying being what you want us to perceive you as, and have a civil unbias talk with Karent.
What bias undertones? In the group setting she was being nice to Karent. Too nice IMHO - everyone else was mean to Karent and she made a joke about the article. The only thing I saw her doing in the group scene was giving heartfelt advice to Joanna- which thankfully Joanna admitted her mistakes.
germfob Blink
Yeah there are Karent haters and Anna haters. Yet both have made side comments about each other. I don't think either is jealous of the other but they don't exactly bond. So what? Lets move on...
I agree. Ana is a bit covert but not objective. She has an AGENDA.
Rockerman Blink
Everyone on this show has an "AGENDA". Even the people on this forum do. Yours is definitely to engratiate yourself to wannabe celebrities who consider you nothing more than a silly t-shirt in a thumbnail. Don't kid yourself sir. No one appreciates it and it only makes you look creepy
Rockerman Blink
Before you correct my spelling, I know- its ingratiate. lol
germfob Blink
You were doin fine until you said "no one appreciates..." Don't be speaking for the world, ducks. It's a lot bigger than you fink. And who would those wannabe celebs be? Trust me, ingratiating's not the word.
I know you are refering to all the circus activities that happened at Lisa's charity event. I wished you would have broke things down the same after Alexia's Venue event. At least Karent exited with courage and grace.
You are a good addition to the show...it's too bad that the drama queens get most of the air time and publicity. Hope you don't go that route. Joanna's WWHL show was a disaster for her. There she was, LIVE, being herself for all to see. She is currently getting hammered on her blog. (Run Romain Run!)
I agree! I am behind and haven't even see the Adriana slap but reading about it and seeing little clips makes me want to get off this RH train. I can't take it. I want to see beautiful classy ladies living glam lives in Miami not cat fighting and pulling eachother's hair! The diva's seem so shallow. Anna and Alexia show me they are multi dimensional. The others could be any other members of a catty social scene clawing their way on top of the other!
Greetings Ana! It's so refreshing to read your blogs. I admire that you are a Cuban professional who has not only mastered the legal gig, but the kitchen as well. I am a Cuban-American who lives in NY and truly aspire to become as strong a woman as you. It's amazing that ofcourse I side with all the Cubans on the show, but of all you are my favorite. You tell it like it is without ever offending or insulting, and that is truly commendable. Ana, you are definitely the voice of reason on this season and it is a pleasure to be able to communicate that to you.
I have to say Ana, yours is the best blog after this crazy episode. Being a lawyer, you are extremely clear thinking and neutral, which is great, and your assessment I believe was pretty accurate! I hope you get some more air time this season, hopefully some dates?? :) You seem like a great woman that deserves to be happy...and your daughters are hilarious!
