How to Build Up Private Students in Brazil
When I moved here, I immediately started working in schools. but now, 2 years later, I only have private students. Here's what I did... hopefully some of my steps will work out for you, too. Some are kind of sneaky, but you can decide.
1. I started in schools immediately. I was unemployed in Brazil for about 2 weeks before I started going stir-crazy. So I started working a few hours a week at 2 different schools. Even if your eventual goal is to only teach private classes, schools are a great way to network and market yourself. I don't necessarily advocate stealing students (though it happens, not gonna lie), but a huge bank of students for me has been friends and family of school students who aren't interested in a group setting. It's also a great way to get experience, especially if you don't speak Portuguese and/or you've never taught before.
2. Make some kind of email address just for students and work-related things. I made up a separate email address (it's just Gmail, nothing fancy), but I gave it out to students at the schools. It was a pretty sneaky thing, actually. For example, if we had a test, I'd give them my work-related email on the board and I'd say, "oh, if any of you are at home studying this weekend and you have any questions, feel free to email me." Students rarely asked for help, but later, when they were talking to friends who wanted English classes, they'd remember, "OH! I have my teacher's email!". Then, because I didn't give out the email saying "Oh, if you have friends who want classes....", they felt like it was their idea, and not that I was force-feeding them my advertising.
But I say to give a separate email because then the students won't also try to find you on Facebook and Orkut.
3. Mention that you teach private classes while at the schools. This is also a kind of sneaky thing that I did. I usually mentioned private students to explain a similar problem that another student had or something like that, but in telling my stories, I'd say, "oh, in one of my private classes at home, a student told me that....xyz". The focus of the story is not my private students at home, but the students get the information nonetheless. Then they often come up after class and ask for my email or number because a friend/boyfriend/neighbor wants private classes and can't afford the school or something.
I never asked my school students directly if they wanted me to be their private teacher. I never offered my services to students that were already paying at the school. But a common occurrence is that students are unhappy with the school for some reason and/or finish the school's advanced program and want to continue, and then they approached me. In those cases, I told them to contact me once they were completely done with the school. I'd give them my email or my number but I didn't get theirs. Still a bit shady, but my logic was that the students would be quitting either way.
4. When students invite you out to social things, go. Sometimes students organize happy hours and things like that, either as a class or with their friends outside the school, and then they invite you. Go, and be nice. You'll have possible friends and also be meeting new potential students. (Everyone's going to introduce you as their English teacher!)
5. Make business cards if you want. I never did, because if I met someone somewhere that ended up wanting my contact information, I just gave them my number and they put it directly into their cell phones. But it can be helpful and more professional.
6. Decide if you want to go to students, if you want students to come to you, or both. When I moved here, Alexandre was renting a tiny 1-bedroom apartment. We decided to move into a 2-bedroom so that I could use the second room to teach. In our situation, it made more sense to have students come to our house for classes. This works because (a) we live in a small town so no one lives too far away (b) rent is relatively cheap so renting a 2-bedroom doesn't break the bank and (c) Alexandre often needs the car to work in other hospitals or clinics, so I can't rely on it.
The cons of having students come to the house is that it always has to be clean. Also, it's kind of tiring for Alexandre because he can't play loud music or walk around in his underwear if he feels like it. He also hates cleaning.
In bigger cities, having students come to you isn't always a viable option. Going to students, you spend more time getting from class to class (which cuts into your work day), and you spend money on transportation. But you may save money on rent and you may save time on cleaning.
Some teachers opt to do a bit of both, and to just charge more if they go to the students. I did this for a while when I had fewer students wanting classes, but it got a bit complicated with the car sharing situation.
For me, the best benefit of teaching from home is time. I can schedule students in back-to-back classes and just work in blocks. I can also cook lunch and then have class right after. The other benefit is that, because students can be flaky, if they're coming to you, you don't waste time going anywhere just to have them not show up.
7. Accept a crappy schedule for a while. If you're new in the city and the industry, you've gotta take what you can get. So that means you'll have to accept students early in the morning and late at night on the same day sometimes. Just know that it gets better, and it's worth being tired for a little while. Your schedule will never be perfect as a private teacher, but the more people that you have calling for classes, the pickier you can be. But... you won't have a lot of people calling unless you're already teaching people.
8. Once you have a few private students, plan a night out with them. I did this when I was teaching quite a few basic and intermediate students that were all in separate classes. I planned a night at a local restaurant, and told them to bring friends and family, and that they'd practice speaking English in a social setting with other students. They tried speaking English as much as they could, but of course there was also a lot of Portuguese. I didn't charge for it, obviously-- they just had to pay for whatever they ordered. They bring friends that also want classes, and if it's fun, they'll definitely tell people about it later.
9. Be prepared and have good material. If you're a native speaker, your English is what's going to attract new students, but your material and your experience are what's going to keep them around and make them recommend you. Take the time to research good books. (Amazon's a good place to start. Seriously. So is Cambridge Press.) I use Cambridge's Touchstone series. I really don't like their Passages book for "advanced" students, and their Interchange series is just okay. (Both are hugely popular here in Brazil because they're so grammar-based.)
It's good to find a book that comes in a series with different levels. Yes, you'll have to buy them. You'll have to buy a lot of things to teach private classes, especially if you teach from home, which is why some teachers don't do it. To teach from home, I had to buy things like a printer (which requires refills of ink and paper, duh), a CD player, a white board, an answering machine, a table and chairs, and then other disposable things, like white board markers and erasers.
No English book is perfect, so no matter what books you end up using, you'll need to prepare supplemental material if you want to have really quality classes. You may also mix and match material from books, printing out or copying particularly good activities from books that are not your main material. This takes time in the beginning but you can reuse things in the future, so it gets easier.
10. Have emergency material and activities for all levels with you at all times. This seems like it wouldn't happen, but it does: Students come to class without their books or homework or anything. (For example, they had to stay late at work and couldn't run home to get their stuff.) Or sometimes, students show up with a friend that they'd like to have in class who's interested in possibly having classes with you. Or you have a group class of 4, and only 1 person shows up, and the activity that you planned doesn't work with 1 person.
Good emergency material includes general, fun discussion questions (this site is the best source for them), song lyrics and a CD (if you like using music in class; I don't, but students love it), and also headlines and short newspaper articles that students can read and discuss with you. Oh and also a list of funny problems that people have that students can read. They then offer their advice. (Example: "My mother in law calls every day!" or "I have a nosy neighbor.")
11. Have set rules about your classes, methodology, scheduling, pay, etc. People will respect you more if it's obvious that you know what you're doing. With my first private students, I was too "oh, whatever you want!!" and I realize now that, while I thought I seemed friendly and generous, they interpreted it as inexperience. Now, I have a very set system for starting and meeting with new students. I schedule a time for them to come to my house (or in your case, for you to go to their house). It's free of charge-- don't be a cheapskate. The purpose of this first visit is to check their level of English and to decide what material I'm going to use in the class, and then usually to make the contract.
So here's my routine:
1. Schedule the meeting day and time.
2. At the meeting, let them talk for a bit in Portuguese about why they want English classes, how much they've studied in the past, their hopes and dreams, etc. (hint: they all say the same thing: "I studied a lot in schools, but we did so much grammar! I want more conversation. There are so many jobs that require good English conversation. Oh also, I want to go to the US to visit eventually, and I don't want to go hungry!" Seriously. They all say that. Act very surprised and understanding every time you hear it.
3. Repeat what you heard back to them, psychology style. I usually say things like "yeah, it's so frustrating here because a lot of schools have limited resources with big classes, so you don't get a lot of time to talk and practice the grammar that you're learning. Also, you have the extra challenge of not being able to use English outside on the street. So speaking English is like going to the gym. If you don't practice, you forget and get weak!" And they say, "wow, you're so right!" and then they like me more.
4. Tell them that you'd like to ask them a few questions in English to see what their level really is. And that's really what you're doing. Based on the books that I use, I wrote up a series of questions that get harder and harder. I start with super easy questions to help build their confidence a bit. I also avoid yes/no questions. The questions I wrote go in order of the chapters of the book. When they start getting lost or not understanding me, I know that's the chapter they should be at. The more teaching experience you have, and the more you use your material, the easier it is for you to get a feel for what level they should be in or what book they should be using. So after I decide (it's pretty instantaneous), I tell them about their strengths and weaknesses a bit. I usually have to say, "your basic vocabulary is strong, but you make some mistakes that I wouldn't understand if I didn't speak Portuguese. So we want to work on making your English more natural and also helping you speak a bit faster, without so much éeééé'.... and ummmm....." For some students, it's evident that they read a lot of English but don't know how to pronounce anything, so I tell them when it's relevant, too.
5. Based on the level that they're at, show them the material that you'd like to use. Explain how it would work, what kind of homework they'll have, how much it costs and where they can buy it, etc. Tell them how long it would take to finish the book, and what kinds of things they'll be able to accomplish by the end. You know this from experience and estimation. (For example, "it takes about 9 months to finish this book if you have 2 hours of class a week and if you do your homework. By the time you finish, you won't be FLUENT, but you'll be able to travel and communicate, rent a hotel room, etc". Whatever's relevant.) I also point out that I have a lot of supplemental material that I've made myself that we incorporate into the class. Because that's true.
6. Then we start talking about price and hours, if we haven't already. I've mentioned before that it's acceptable in Brazil to charge higher prices for richer people and lower prices for people with less money. I don't agree with it, so I don't do it. I have one price for 1-1 classes, and one cheaper price for small group classes.When it comes to scheduling, students are always surprisingly in doubt about how many hours of class they want per week. So I tell them that most students have class 2 hours a week, and very busy people have class only 1 hour a week, but that it's hard to really progress with only 1 hour a week. So a lot of people also do 1.5 hours (1 longer class) and have extra homework.
At some point before Step 6 or during Step 6, I make sure to give them some breathing room. I say something like, "So, if you want to take a few days to think about it, talk to your wife/boss/etc, you can call me." I never jump right in and say "So, you ready to sign a contract???". They almost always say "não não, vamos fechar hoje!" (let's seal the deal today!"). But I like to be fair.
When it comes to scheduling, I have all my classes written on this fabulous PDF weekly calendar that I show to the new students. You can download it and print it out by clicking here or here. I write the times that I already have students, and I block out the times that I don't want to accept students (like Saturdays). Then they have an easy visual of when I'm available. The blocked out times also prevent annoying back-and-forths like, "oh but are you SURE you can't teach me at 10pm? Really? But let me ask you a 4th time, because maybe you'll change your mind!". They decide when they want their classes, and then I pencil them in.
7. Make the contract. My other post about private classes has more details about this. Be prepared. If you go to their houses or their businesses, have a copy that you can hand-write on. Since they come to my house, I have the template on my laptop and we fill it out together, and then I print it out (with copies for them). But don't expect them to print it out for you or anything. If you're really desperate, you can offer to email it to them, but remember that (a) they're still gonna have to print it and (b) that'll delay you closing the contract, and they may back out.
While I'm waiting for the contract to print (my printer is sloowwww), I tell them a bit about myself (90% of the time, they ask). They're very curious as to why you're in Brazil, and giving them a bit of your story makes you seem more human, don't you think?
This entry has become pretty long, so I think that's enough for today. I hope it was helpful. In the end, the thing that will make you different from other teacher is not being afraid of a little hard work or extra effort. Not everyone can wake up early without a boss that can reprimand them. Not everyone has the discipline to not cancel their classes if they're tired or want to go out instead. Not everyone is willing to prepare extra material for specific students. Not everyone can handle the rejection of a student quitting a private class. I just read a really nice article about the ins-and-outs of being self-employed. I think the author's tips and techniques are very relevant for people wanting to teach private classes.
I also welcome any of your experiences, ideas, disagreements with these ideas, rants, raves, etc. Group effort!
Have a good day. :)

Hi Danielle
I came across your blog last week and absolutely love it! I am going to Maceio in September for Portuguese language classes. I'll be at the school for 4 weeks, then hope to do some volunteer work or possibly "teach" for 4 more weeks before I come home. Im from Waukesha, WI. Im married, but will be traveling alone. Im 52 years old. I dont have a teaching background. Im wondering what you think of my idea of wanting to earn a place to stay in exchange for English conversation (conversation, so not really teaching as you do). I know I would need to be very cautious with whom I associate, but aside from that, have you ever known students who would prefer to pay in that manner? I understand that your situation is different from mine, so maybe this never came up. I use a few websites (livemocha.com, and sharedtalk.com)to help with my Portuguese, and it seems to me that there are SO many Brazilians that want to converse in English. So this is where I got this crazy idea from.
Thanks for reading this and any advice.
Jeanne AugustineI agree with your logic about getting students from the schools. When I "poached" my Spanish teacher from my school, she seemed a little hesitant at first (like did the owner put me up to it to test her loyalties or something like that--language school owners can be a little odd).
But I told her I wasn't happy with the school and was leaving either way. That seemed to ease her conscience. Getting her for my teacher was the best decision I made!Nice post. I bill myself as an English polisher. Since I have no background in English teaching (grammar, etc.) and I really don't know/like the material all that much, I stick to the "conversation" niche. In the beginning I just prepared sheets of questions on a topic and had a gazillion topics. Students quickly tired of this and wanted more challenging material.
Now I prepare a two page handout that focuses on a topic in the news. They read aloud the two paragraphs and then paraphrase for me what they just read. Then they complete a synonym match for words within the reading. I then have three idioms relevant to the topic, then three phrasal verbs also relevant to the topic. Then I throw in a "Common Mistake" like mixing up 'threw/through' or something. With the remaining time we have a free flowing conversation about the news topic. Finally, they are assigned written homework, usually to write a paragraph further discussing some aspect of the topic.
They email me their homework and I correct it in MS Word Track Changes and email it back to them.
It takes a while to prepare the lesson, but I can use it with multiple students and re-use it with new students, so at this point I have about 45 lessons to pull from.
My two cents.Danielle,
Your blog post is uncannily timely-- this morning I was just sitting down to scratch out a strategy for self employment via tutoring gigs!
I just moved to Sao Carlos, Sao Paulo, with my boyfriend who is doing a post-doc at the UFSCAR. I've been here for a week so it's nice to read blogs of someone who's much more experienced with this caiphira world. Thanks for such a wealth of information!
I started a blog, too... you can check it out here...
FionaThat sounds like good advice for Chile too. I started out working at three institutes and then eventually got some private students from that. However, you have to be very careful that the institutes never find out you are looking for private students no matter how sneaky. They tend not to like that sort of thing. I usually found it pretty easy to hide because I was never friends with anyone I worked with.

If the pen is truly mightier than the sword, a group of Simon Fraser University scientists are taking arms against the Conservative government.
PhD student Brett Favaro, marine ecology professor Isabelle Cote, and salmon research chair John Reynolds are speaking out against the Tories' moves to weaken protective measures for the environment and fish habitat.
The trio has collectively penned two letters recently published in international scientific journals, decrying the government's "alarming changes to environmental laws."
Favaro, who's working on his PhD in marine biology, took particular issue with the federal omnibus budget bill's changes to the Fisheries Act, weakening anti-pollution provisions and fish habitat protection. For Favaro, the government's justification for the changes, that the Fisheries Act was applied indiscriminately, doesn't correspond with the enforcement record.
"What we found, despite just under 1,300 (Fisheries Act violation) convictions in the past five years, there were only 21 convictions for destroying fish habitat," Favaro said.
According to Favaro, the numbers show the Fisheries Act habitat protection measures were not being applied in the first place, contrary to the government's claim they were being applied indiscriminately.
"Research has shown we're still losing fish habitat, so if anything, it's being under-enforced," Favaro said. "As a scientist, I can't imply what their motives are. - All I can really do is look at what they are saying and whether the data supports or refutes that. The data does not support their rationale."
The trio's latest letter published in Nature on July 12 comes on the heels of scientists protesting in Ottawa just two days earlier, something Favaro has never seen before. Hundreds of scientists descended on Parliament hill, holding a mock funeral, mourning the "death of evidence."
"It's definitely uncomfortable for a lot of us. A lot of us are firmly trying to stay in the science side on this. It's not a partisan issue for us," Favaro said. "There's a big difference between environmentalists and environmental scientists, and I think these protests are environmental scientists making a point about evidence."
Besides ignoring evidence, Favaro said the government is also making it harder to gather good evidence by cutting research funding.
"The message is very specific: We all believe you have to govern based on evidence. All these changes that have been occurring have been sidelining the evidence and making it harder to collect the evidence in the first place in terms of the funding cuts," he said.
The other branch is what people do know, he added.
"There's a lot of evidence (that) there's been unprecedented levels of control on what scientists have been allowed to say to the public and the media," he said.
For Favaro, no change is irreversible, (apart from species extinction), but there is a risk of losing expertise in Canada if funding is cut too much and people move abroad to find work.
"You do run the risk of a brain drain, and that's a lot harder to reverse," he said.
As for the low numbers of Fisheries violation convictions, Frank Stanek, a media relations manager with Fisheries and Oceans Canada, said that prosecution is generally used as a last resort except in serious cases.
"As such, the number of habitat-related convictions is not (an) accurate measure (of) compliance by project proponents.
"It does not take into account the numerous projects that Fisheries and Oceans Canada reviews each year and for which project proponents have to meet various requirements; nor does it take into account other compliance activities, such as mitigation measures implemented by proponents of projects and or the work of DFO habitat staff to communicate requirements for the protection of fish and their habitat," he wrote in an email to the NOW. "Changes to the Fisheries Act will focus the rules for fisheries protection to those projects that may impact the productivity of the commercial, recreational and aboriginal fishery. This practical, commonsense approach will provide for a broader, more flexible range of policy and regulatory approaches to manage threats to fisheries and better reflects the nature, scope and potential impact of different types projects."
The act now provides new enforcement tools to allow better compliance with conditions of ministerial authorizations and higher fines, Stanek added.
"This will lead to a new fisheries protection program that will be more focused and have a higher ratio of resources targeting monitoring and compliance," Stanek said. "Over the coming months, we will consult with a wide range of stakeholders - anglers, conservation groups, landowners, municipalities, commercial fishermen, resource industries and aboriginals."

As a part of the Princess Program, once they select the 33 princesses, we have interviews and do some other things to help select the queen and court members. So, one of those things is that at a reception for the program we give speeches about ourselves, or anything we want to talk about, in front of our parents and family members, the directors, and past princess. It was a beautiful reception, and I loved having all of my family there at an event for the first time. We don't get to be all together much anymore, because we basically each live 2.5-3 hours away from each other (imagine a triangle that reaches from southern Indiana to central Indiana to central Illinois). So getting to be a real family again was rather great…..
The reception was in downtown Indianapolis at the Westin, and there were all different 500 Festival or race themed decorations. Like….
- The fancy ice sculpture…
- The 1969 Camaro pace car….which is the car that this year's pace car is modeled after.
This weekend is race weekend, so my time as a 500 Festival Princess is winding down quickly. It has been an amazing ride and opportunity so far, and I absolutely cannot wait to get to experience my first Indy 500 ever this weekend. (I am now officially a racing fan!) From the Memorial Service to the Parade to the actual race and everything else that is happening this weekend, it will be wonderful but still outrageously busy. So keep checking back, because I have so many events to still blog about!

I was introduced recently to the word 'upcycling'. Upcycling is about finding new (and sometimes fairly innovative) uses for goods which may otherwise be thrown into landfill or recycled. Recycling requires energy & resources to collect, sort and process, and in the UK, 1.8m tons of clothing and textiles goes into landfill every year (that's just clothing and textiles; the most useful 'junk' for upcycling).
The website http://www.upcycling.co.uk has plenty encouragement for budding upcyclers (upcyclists?) and illustrates the process with ideas such as turning an old woolly jumper into a cushion cover; stuffing an old sock with carrier bags to make a draft excluder; or making a comprehensive kids craft box containing old pens, egg cartons etc; or maybe turning an old book into a clock.
But it's not these nano-level arts and crafts ideas that catch my imagination; it's the contribution that this type of thinking can have on our consumption practices globally. I feel like there's an attitude of 'I recycle, so I'm doing my bit', and that's great for what it is. But as a civilisation, we consume far more than we can deal with, and we need to shift the paradigm of consumption towards every person thinking about stopping the goods being produced in the first place. Upcycling , freecycling, and the mantra of 'reduce, reuse, recycle' all help us get towards a closed-loop system.
I find this rethinking of 'waste' fascinating. Sure, it's just putting a name on something that people do every day across the world, but adding 'upcycling' to the language of consumption can help people think about material goods in a new way; even if it's only a few people changing their attitudes, it's done a job. And hey; what about this bit of upcycling: a project which converted a Boeing 727 into some sort of tree-top house.
Nevermind the three 'Rs', how about just one: rethink.

Burden Of Benghazi
The deadly terrorist attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, on Sept. 11, 2012, revealed an episode of State Department miscommunication on her watch that could feed into her diplomatic legacy and give future political opponents, should she return to politics, an opening to exploit.
And so, when she testified to Congress about the attack, both the drive and the drama forever associated with the Clintons were suddenly back. In the final spectacle of a diplomatic career that ends Friday when John Kerry succeeds her, she would not be browbeaten.
Pressed perhaps once too often on why the terrorist assault was miscast as a public protest in the days afterward, Clinton went after her Republican inquisitor with her voice rising and quivering in anger. "What difference, at this point, does it make?" she demanded. "It is our job to figure out what happened and do everything we can to prevent it from ever happening again, Senator."
Clinton's responses confirmed she had lost none of the vigor that had taken her from defeated Democratic Party presidential candidate to one of the world's most popular and recognizable.

The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness challenges the conventional widson that with the election of Barack Obama as president, our nation has "triumphed over race." Alexander argues that the sudden and dramatic mass incarceration of African-American men, primarily through the War on Drugs, has created a new racial under caste -- a group of people defined largely by race that is subject to legalized discrimination, scorn, and social exclusion.

[COLOR=#333333][FONT=lucida grande]BEST OF SHOW WINNER AT 2012 PEBBLE BEACH CONCOURS D
20 of 25 Best of Class Winners Once Again Choose Meguiar's Car Care Products
For more than 110 years, Meguiar's, the leader in surface care, has offered automotive hobbyists the finest products and accessories for attaining a smooth-as-glass surface and stunning show car shine. That legacy continues as once again, at the world-famous Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance held on August 19, 2012, the majority of the motor cars that were awarded "Best in Class," as well as the top prize honor of "Best of Show," awarded to Paul Andrew's 1928 Mercedes-Benz 680S Saoutchik Torpedo, achieved their flawless appearances using Meguiar's car care products.
The 1928 Mercedes-Benz 680S Saoutchik Torpedo was recently restored to the exact specifications as it was when first built by Paul Russell and Company. The restoration included removing the light yellow paint in favor of the original German Chassis Grey color
and ensuring that every fastener, wire and staple were as close to exact as possible.
Achieving the prestigious "Best of Show" award is the pinnacle of the car show season and Andrew chose Meguiar's products to help get the 680S there.
More than 200 of the world's most flawlessly restored classic cars were subjected to the intense judging that sets the Pebble Beach Concours apart from all other car shows. After the awards ceremony, it was discovered that 20 of the 25 "Best in Class" winners that were able to be detailed had done so inside and out with Meguiar's products.
Irvine, Calif. (August 19, 2012)
For the last 14 years, approximately 83 percent of vehicles that were judged "Best in Class," have used Meguiar's car care products to achieve a show-car shine.
"All of the cars on the field at Pebble Beach represent the best of what the car collecting hobby has to offer," said Barry Meguiar, president of Meguiar's. "We're proud to be trusted enough to help care for these prized pieces of automotive history for more than a decade and hope to continue to do so for many years to come."

On Ninja Tune
Ninja Tune are very excited to announce that Travis Stewart aka Machinedrum has joined our roster.
We've been massive fans of Machinedrum for years and whatever style he's doing, he never fails to impress with his unmistakably precise and relentlessly forward-looking production that is as effective on headphones as it is in the club. It's an absolute honour to work with him as he develops all elements of his sound and vision for the next stage of his career.
To celebrate the union, Machinedrum joined the likes of Bonobo and Toddla T for a special, unannounced set at the Ninja Tune SXSW 2013 showcase in Austin, Texas.
More info will follow in the coming months, in the meantime read an exclusive Billboard interview with Travis and Ninja Tune MD Peter Quicke here.

10040. Wohld, M.. 1991 Mar.. Good farming practices reduced erosion this winter.. Washington Farmer-Stockman, p. 22-23..
Erosion would have been worse after the winter of 1990-91 if it had not been for good erosion control measures such as strip cropping, divided slopes and straw residue management. Strip cropping and divided slopes alone can reduce erosion by about 50%. Leaving as little as 200 pounds of straw residue on the surface per acre can have some positive impact on erosion, according to WSU research. Strip cropping is also important for moisture conservation.

The sci-fi thriller EXTRACTED was released this week on DVD in Germany by Tiberius under the name MEMORY EFFECT. Directed by Nir Paniry, EXTRACTED (MEMORY EFFECT) stars Sasha Roiz, Jenny Mollen, Dominic Bogart and Richard Riehle; the story follows a brilliant engineer named Thomas Jacobs who invents a device that enables him to enter the mind of a patient and observe them in their memories.
Having run out of funds to complete the project, he reluctantly partners with the justice department who plans to use it to see criminals enact their crimes, BUT, during the first test on a convict, Tom gets trapped, leaving behind a pregnant wife and his unconscious body.
For four years Tom is stuck in the criminal's mind, until he discovers a glitch in the system. It soon becomes a race for survival, as Tom is forced to work with the reluctant criminal to find a way out.
Look for more on EXTRACTED soon!

Email Settings: Check for new messages?
In my email settings I have "Check for new messages" set to, every minute.
If I set it for anything longer then a minute I feel that I maybe missing something important that can't wait so I end up manually checking for new messages, lol...
I'm a sick puppy. :P
How about you?
I am sort of that way have so many email accounts.
It is best to check not so often otherwise you spend most of your time just checking email instead of getting work done.
I used to have several emails too. I got rid of most of them but like 3. And now they all forward to my gmail address anyway. Which means my chrome browser notifies me pretty much instantly when I get a new email, so I don't ever have to do the checking. If I'm not at the computer my droid phone does just as well at notifying me.
You may want to see someone for your sickness AJ. ;)

Goal Accomplished!!!! - Stacia Naquin
Updated: 12/12/2013 - I finally did my pull up!!! It was a New Year's Resolution that took me ALL YEAR! But I did it.
Marijuana driving limits have won unanimous approval in a Colorado legislative committee, with lawmakers of both parties saying voters who wanted pot to be treated like alcohol should accept new blood limits for drivers.
The stoned-driving bill cleared the House Judiciary Committee 11-0 after more than five hours of debate Tuesday. Lawmakers debated the best way to tell whether a driver is too stoned to be behind the wheel. After testimony from law enforcement and a toxicologist, House members agreed drivers are too stoned if their blood contains more than 5 nanograms of THC per milliliter. THC is the psychoactive ingredient in marijuana.
After one more committee vote in the House, the marijuana driving bill heads to the full chamber. The House has already agreed to driving limits, leaving the bigger test in the Senate, where stoned-driving bills have failed in the past.

The Basics of Editing your New WordPress Site
November 6, 2009Most of the websites I have worked on over the last couple years have been built using WordPress, one of the best Content Management Systems available. It is extremely flexible and powerful, with great tools for Search Engine Optimization already built in. For a new user, however, it can be a little overwhelming once they log in for the first time. The WordPress backend is a little bit heavy and offers so many tools that it can be confusing for those new to the system. At first I was spending a lot of time on the phone talking clients through the same basic issues over and over. How do I add a new post? How do I create a new category? While these were new issues for them, I had to repeat myself over and over. So I put together a document that provides basic instructions for using WordPress and I have

We first told you yesterday about the story of a California woman 87 years old who was refused CPR -- -- Stafford -- nursing facility due to their strict policies here is the 911 call.
Get irritated about not enough okay -- I'm looking for a yellow and did it hit it I didn't have a lot of you have got to pocket passer by anybody they can if CPR it from the -- -- everything -- got a letter if it's human being I don't.
You know -- -- -- We're going to help the lady -- letter.
I'm not at this time.
Well that 87 year old woman did die and the retirement home is standing by the nurse saying she followed their policy so if you have a loved one at a facility like this.
What questions should you be asking right now.
Fox News legal analyst Peter Johnson junior joins us again today don't.
Good morning Steve I think one of the things we need to understand every American needs to understand is that in some ways these homes are kind of the sinkhole of federal and state regulation.
There is less regulation -- we really.
Believe 36000.
A living facilities in the United States only two thirds of the states require the staff.
To know CPR.
Only one half require a doctor to be on the staff -- every -- only a few of the states require the medical director.
To be a position so there are certain questions that you need to ask all right -- -- facility before you put your loved one.
In the hands of that facility so let's go one by one all right read the contract carefully.
See what the contract says what's the actual level of care is an assisted living facility is -- an independent living facility.
As we see here we -- basically on your own or is -- a full blown.
Senior citizens home number two -- facility provide trained first responders or only wait.
Until help arrives the policy here the Glenwood gardens was they would only wait.
Until help arrived even though the nurse a licensed nurse in the state of California had the capacity ability to do what she said our policy is we're not going to do it.
And so for seven minutes.
This woman -- until the ambulance came and the fire department came and she was -- list and breathless right and unfortunately basically dead.
Third thing is will the facility perform CPR or use an eight ED a defibrillator one of those boxes that -- -- automatic you put on the person that says you know -- not shock jocks or will they use it.
This strange thing is that there's more work caseload the United States and you're talking about litigation earlier.
That there may not be an obligation to use that just a different lady even if it's on the premise real quickly the number yeah.
Emailed question yesterday was was there a DNR I do not resuscitate -- all reports indicate there's not a here based upon the ambulance report the fire department -- there was no.
DNR meaning that all extraordinary measures were supposed to be used for 87 year old -- Bayless.
Who lost her life after lying on the ground seven minutes without any help.
From this the assisted living facility when you know Peter you've got some great points -- people who have family members in a system -- -- passing and demanded if you want your loved one to live after an event like this.
You let them know all right I think a lot of people are going to be an absolute wrong -- -- -- 9 this morning that fluid in the C.

Product Actions
Additional Information
An exquisite-looking color scheme was established on the upper of this Rocky HandHewn Western boot by blending multi-hued stitching and a gorgeous shade of blue on the shaft with a very traditional looking brown foot. The blue piping pops out beautifully, the full-grain leather is exquisitely smooth and the specs of brown on the shaft add intrigue to the look of these women's boots. An Expansion Fit Seam™ -the seam actually expands so you are able to insert/remove your feet with complete ease- and pull straps are quite beneficial features, because they eliminate the difficulty of getting this Western boot on/off.
The leather lining is a very high-end looking detail that makes the interior of these women's boots feel unbelievably smooth. Positioned underneath your feet, the footbed provides a generous amount of cushioning and support; it comes with a heel stabilizer that does a simply marvelous job at providing steadiness. Another fantastic aspect about having this particular footbed is that it's removable; so if overtime you feel as if the cushioning has worn down, you can slide it out and insert another one easily.
The amount of detail that went into ensuring that these 12" boots would be durable is truly astounding. You have the full-grain leather on the upper, while it is indeed quite smooth, it's also an exceedingly durable material. Then you have the ¾ Goodyear welt construction and double rows of welt stitching that strengthen the entire structure and allow these pull-on boots to hold up extremely well.
When purchasing women's footwear, most likely you are not going to question whether the style has a tempered steel shank or not; however, building this feature into the base of these square-toe boots allows your footing to remain wonderfully steady and it provides absolutely fantastic support to the arches of your feet. The finishing touch on the bottom of these Western boots was the genuine leather outsole; it's extraordinarily nice looking, durable and has actually been pegged by hand.
They're gorgeous, easy to get on/off, quite comfortable to wear and have a terrific-looking outsole… You definitely need to get yourself a pair of these #RW023 Rocky HandHewn Women's Square-Toe Western Boots!

Ridgid is not responsible for direct, indirect, incidental or consequential damages. Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts and/or do not allow the exclusion of limitation of incidental damages, so the above limitations are exclusions may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state.
