I am planning to stay there again for a week next year and found the place excellent. Rooms also have a small fridge which is very handy... More

The India-based advertising agency that created artwork depicting women tied up in the back of a Ford has fired some of the employees responsible for the images.
READ: Ford Mustang sees continuous production for 50 years
The cartoonish drawings, produced by WPP unit JWT, were never part of a paid campaign. But they have struck a nerve as India institutes new rules to protect women following a series of high-profile gang rapes.
One of the images depicts Silvio Berlusconi, former prime minister of Italy, driving a Ford Figo with three tied-up women in the back. Another image depicts Paris Hilton driving a Figo with what's meant to be the three Kardashian sisters tied up in the back. A third image shows three male race-car drivers tied up in the back.

"After a thorough internal review, we have taken appropriate disciplinary action with those involved, which included the exit of employees at JWT," the company said in a statement. "These were necessary steps owing to the direct accountability of the concerned individuals as we work to ensure that both the right oversight and processes are strictly enforced so that this never happens again."
Deepa Sridhar, a spokesperson for JWT, declined to say how many employees had been fired. The ads were not published or seen by senior executives at WPP or Ford.

The incident has drawn apologies from all of the involved parties, including Ford.
"We deeply regret this incident and agree with our agency partners that it should have never happened," the automaker said earlier this week in a prepared statement. "The posters are contrary to the standards of professionalism and decency within Ford and our agency partners."
WPP also released a statement saying that it "deeply regret(s)" the existence of the "distasteful" posters.
Ford unveiled the Figo, a subcompact, in 2009 to be produced in India and exported to other Asian countries and Africa.

I am Here, but over there....
Wednesday, November 23, 2011
Hey friends, For some reason my blogger dashboard is on the oldest version ever and I can't do anything really....upload photos, center text... nothing. Boo to that. My lovely in-laws arrived yesterday and we wasted no time in finding the very best seafood buffet in town, and promptly eating ourselves sick. I am talking oysters, crab legs, fish, shrimp, prime rib, chicken, ribs, casseroles, stuffings, salads, soups, breads, desserts. It was amazing.
Today is a rainy, wet day in Myrtle Beach. I am prepping the turkey and we'll be making the pies..and then heading to the beach to pick up our race packets for the turkey trot in the morning! I won't be here tomorrow, so I want to wish everyone a happy thanksgiving day! I hope you get to hug on lots of family, stuff yourself with gigantic amounts of food and watch lots of cheesy christmas movies. We will be decorating our tree... I can't wait to show you!
Today I am over at Michaela's sweet blog today anyway, so find me there and say hello!

Filipinos have an enduring connection with Italian food that extends to more than just pizza and pasta. Nowadays, we indulge ourselves with a creamy heaping of risotto or a plateful of savory osso buco.
According to Chef Joris Rycken of Acqua restaurant in Shangri-La's Mactan Resort and Spa, Italian cuisine has common and really popular ingredients such as the olive oil, choice herbs, tomato sauce, and cheese.
Italian food fans can attest that these basic ingredients when served fresh or cooked well, can transport a diner to a place of relative home-cooked goodness and satisfaction.
Still, Filipinos can sometimes feel intimidated when cooking an Italian dish just because a number of ingredients sound so foreign to us. It's a good thing that Chef Joris debunked this myth for me when he demonstrated how to cook Risotto ai Funghi Porcini.
The first thing that I learned from him is that a good risotto must not be firm on a plate but rather, creamy and gooey. Chef Joris says, "You add the butter and the Parmesan cheese to make sure the creaminess is coming out. The risotto when it comes on a plate, it must actually run (to the sides). It must be that creamy."
Cooking risotto surprisingly is easy. (See the recipe below.) The entire procedure just took less than 30 minutes. Chef Joris adds another tip that when cooking the rice, the right texture must be al dente.
Indeed, Risotto ai Funghi porcini is easy to do but the taste of cheese and the earthy flavor of mushrooms take the dish to another level of gustatory experience. The ham on top of the risotto is just the right complement to the comfort foaod.
Just a side note, I enjoyed the dish in front of the gorgeous Mactan beach, but I am pretty sure the vista was not clouding my palate.
Chef Joris also shared other secrets of popular Italian recipes like the pizza. "It's the dough," he says. "We make a very crispy dough that we cook in the wood-fire oven. (Then) you must have good cheese, nicely melted. "
He also emphasized the importance of the freshness of ingredients. He says that many of their restaurant's ingredients are sourced locally. "We take a lot of ingredients, mostly the vegetables from the locals of the Philippines all the way from Bukidnon and Cagayan de Oro. Of course the seafood, the prawns and the lapu-lapu, that's all from Cebu."
In fact, Chef Joris Rycken shared that Acqua even has an herb garden at the back of the hotel. "That's where we take our basil, oregano and thyme. It's not big but enough to serve an Italian restaurant," he revealed.
I admit that I may have yet to see a demo of the delectable osso buco and I haven't cooked the perfect ravioli. However judging from the experience of seeing a risotto cooked from the kitchen then making its way to my plate, I can say that there is an easy way to Italian food heaven.
Recipe of Risotto ai Funghi Porcini from Chef Joris Rycken:
10 grams onion
80 grams of rice
5 grams of mushroom
120 ml vegetable stock
50 ml white wine
5 grams salt
20 grams butter
20 grams Parmesan cheese
Take one onion and julienne. Put in pan and add the rice. Let it toast. Put the wine in. Wait for it to reduce and then add the vegetable stock and mushrooms. Cook for 20 minutes. Finish with mantecare and mix with butter and Parmesan cheese. Top with parsley.

Should MVP always go to a Player on a Contending team?
From the early part of June to now I've always been having this arguement with people about the MVP award. Weather its Basketball Baseball Hockey etc there's always an argument about the award. This is something that's talked about every year and It catches my attention a lot. When the MVP is awarded to a player it's always given to a player on a contending team. Don't get me wrong I'm not saying the guy did deserve it but it always goes to someone from a team that's in the playoffs. This year the Dodgers have a player that's absolutely killing it in Baseball named Matt Kemp but basically everyone knows his chances at MVP is slim because of the Dodgers performance and record. I find that unfair that Kemp may not win cause the Dodgers maybe out of it. Now I'm not saying this because Kemp is on the Dodgers or because it's the Dodgers. I don't believe any player who puts up numbers like that should be penalized at a chance to win the MVP award because of team performance. I usually get the "It also goes to the player who's more valuable to the team." Well guys who do things like that ARE valuable to their team.
You see awards like Cy Young go to pitchers who aren't even on play-off teams. Or pitchers with GOOD ERA Stats but a losing record (Felix Hernandez for example). Why can't MVP awards go to players that aren't on contending teams? While I was watching the Dodgers/Padres game last night KCAL asked viewers if the MVP award should always go to a player on a contending team. 89% of those viewers said No. MVP is an Individual award just like Gold Glove and Cy Young so why should a team performance penalize a candidate? Lets open it up here for players who aren't on contending teams after all it is an Individual award and they have put up the numbers and had the performance to be a candidate after all. I'll leave it up to you to discus or vote on the Poll but I think MVP shouldn't always go to a player on a contending team.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (81 votes).
In short: Good race marred by poor parking organisation and a rather crowded startIn full: A decent flat 10k on quiet lanes, often "two lapers" are demoralising but this wasn't and it never seemed to feel like we were going around again! Good marshalls on the course, and it was well marked. BUT it sufferred from badly managed parking which made extracting the car afterwards challenging to say the least. In the middle ranks the start was a bit crowded and this didnt really sort itself out until nearly the 1km marker. Grass Roots organise other excellent races - I felt this one fell a bit short of that accolade Date of review: November 22, 2009
In short: Good Sunday Morning RunIn full: Well organised/marshalled. Horrible windy conditions and so not quite PB this year. Quite cramed start but on the whole good local run. Well done to organisers. Date of review: November 22, 2009
In short: great race will be back next year jelly babys thumbs upDate of review: November 22, 2009
In short: Super marshalling, great organisation and jelly babies too!Date of review: November 26, 2008
In short: A Proper 10KIn full: A great straight forward 10k. Flat, Fast and uncomplicated course and yet not boring. Great venue and parking no issue. Great location as quiet and wide roads. Marshalls were superb and gave the event a proper buzz. Swindon has been crying out for this for too long. Well done Steve and Julie!Date of review: November 26, 2008
In short: Flat course, good organisation, nice medal and JAFFA CAKES!!!!!In full: Big entry of local runners with a few missing aswell so it has potential to be bigger next year, good course, well organised by grassroots team. Good facilities with parking and toliets at Swindon Karting. Lots of marshalls - thanks to them for braving the cold weather.Good course, very flat but the cold weather/wind made it hard work.Only minor point was the small finish area/gantry. Nice Jelly Babies and Jaffa Cakes.Looking forward to it next year.Date of review: November 24, 2008
In short: Very enjoyable race, will be back next year.In full: A well organised race with a very good turnout. I got a bit held up in the first Km but this might have helped as I normally set off too quick. The weather was n't great but at least the rain held off. A very good value race. I'll be back next year.Date of review: November 24, 2008
In short: Not badIn full: Good car park organisation. There are flatter courses though this was not too bad. Wind was a bit of a nightmare. Date of review: November 24, 2008
In short: Agree with all that's already been said, friendly, well organised, flat, fast course. Recommend that you should give it a go.Date of review: November 24, 2008
In short: Another one which I hope becomes a regular event.In full: Another excellent event from Steve Goulding and grass roots events. I hope this becomes a regular fixture on the running calendar, not least because it's on my doorstep!Flat-ish course, however not easy to get a PB given the conditions but nothing the organisers can do about that.Nice medal at the end, good value for money but I would say that because I got a spot prize!Nice atmosphere, results available almost immediately and a friendly awards ceremony which included a raffle. Great way to spend a wet and windy Sunday morning!Date of review: November 24, 2008

Driver headlight is out on 07 X5. It has a small crack in outer cover and has some moisture collected inside. I took to dealer to get new bulb and was informed that modulator would have to be replaced at a cost of $3,100.00. Any alternate suggestions. I refuse to pay that amount for a light. | |||

Hey guys, I just saw this new deal!. You get 1 bottle Versa-1, 1 bottle of Jack3d Micro and an XL T-shirt. It says "While supplies last" on the T-shirt though. I thought this was a pretty sweet deal. Even though I already purchased from the IC deal...I just made another purchase!.
Seriously, check it out!.
Maybe they will have a Modern Bcaa deal soon. Had a few samples of the stuff and it is darn tasty. The bulk stuff I had is no where near as good. It looked like pond water and didn't taste that different.
Anyway I know some guys on here were asking about T-shirts and this seems like an awesome deal to me. Maybe I'm just under the Usp Labs spell or something.

""Recensito da un utente di Hotels.com in data 29 giu 2012
Purtroppo sono arrivato in Hotel nel tardo pomeriggio e dovendo ripartire il giorno dopo ho avuto poco tempo da trascorrere dentro la struttura. Lo staff e' molto disponibile e gentile, la camera e' dotata dei principali ed essenziali confort, accogliente, pulita. La posizione dell'hotel mi e' parsa un po' defilata e quindi e' necessario possedere un'auto per potersi muovere verso le attrazioni della citta'.
"Pulito, buono."Inviato da Luca di "Bologna IT" il 27 set 2011
La stanza era pulita e comoda, alcuni elementi fanno pensare a una scarsa manutenzione, l'hotel ha anche la piscina nella corte interna. Connessione wi-fi gratuita ma lentissima, molto lenta. Colazione nella media.

Ottimo hotel vicino all'aeroporto , a poca distanza dal centro di Nashvillee vicinisso a the music valley. Staff cordiale, stanza spaziosa e pulita,colazione discreta. Economico rispetto ad altri alberghi con gli stessi servizi e pertanto davvero consigliato. La zona circostante offre ristoranti ,supermercati ed altri servizi; insomma è una scelta azzeccata.

"Lacking cleanliness and customer service"
The first two nights I stayed at the hotel to the Right of Church st. They were very friendly. Halls smelled like smoke, but the room was very clean. We moved to the sister hotel across the street to have a king size bed. The front desk staff was very friendly. When we arrive in our room, it was obvious it had not been properly cleaned. Dirty towels […] in the bathroom, coffee in the coffee pot, bed made - but sheets not fresh. I called and requested it be cleaned or moved to a different room. They moved us to a different room. The second room smelled freshly cleaned. Toilet had a black ring around the water, hairs and dust on toilet, moldy coffee in the coffee pot, the previous guests key card was still on the kitchen table, and magazines and misc trash under the bed. Called AGAIN for the room to be cleaned. The front desk person came and cleaned it. I'm pretty sure this was not in his job description, but he came and cleaned the bathroom. He was very nice. They did not have fresh towels for us. I had to go to the front desk at 10 pm at night to collect towels that should have been delivered to our room. I spoke to the manager via phone, she said she would look into it and get back to me. She never did. Not at all happy with the service or the quality of cleanliness of this hotel. I will be reporting this to the Nashville health dept. I am not a high maintenance guest, but when I check into a hotel, I expect it to be clean and fresh towels available.

"Needs a good sweeping"
The stairwells need a good sweeping out to clear the cobwebs from step corners along with grass clippings long gone brown and crunchy. The room was clean, but the interior was outdated and old.

Close to downtown Brentwood, […] TN and many surrounding business areas it is a very localized area for a busy business traveler.

The staff were wonderful. However the carpet and furnishings are tired. Everything was clean and sanitary.Recensioni obiettive Hotels.com
The hotel looks great on the outside but is very rundown on the inside. That was my first stay in an Extended Stay America, and it will more than likely be my last. The hotel staff was personable, however.Recensioni obiettive Hotels.com
Front desk was super friendly but the non smoking room smelt like an ashtray. Hallway was smoke filled.Recensioni obiettive Hotels.com
"Hotel for the very thrifty in mind."
I understand the why the price was so inexpensive. I would not stay there again. But the Lady who checked me in on Sunday afternoon was very nice and accommodating as she possibly could be. She deserves to work at a better location.Recensioni obiettive degli ospiti Expedia
The hotel is not well maintained - carpet was nasty and had a nasty odor . Room was ok - cleaner than the hotel - the price was cheap and that's what you get....Recensioni obiettive Hotels.com
"Old and dirty"
There are 2 buildings across the street from each other. The newer building provided a pleasant stay. The older building--No elevator. Hairs in the bathroom. Worn out carpets. Very thin walls. Poor A/C circulation. Uncomfortable beds. Sticky floors.Recensioni obiettive Hotels.com
Busy schedule for a few days while visiting Nashville, needed inexpensive room to mainly sleep and it fit the bill. Staff nice and friendly.Recensioni obiettive Hotels.com
"Really disappointed"
When we arrived, we were greeted at the front desk by the friendliest person you would ever want to meet! Paige was helpful, funny and sweet. She made a joke about how far we had to go around the building to get to our entrance, so I think we overshot it and went to the back of the building, We entered in the rear at the garden level and couldn't believe […] the amount of filth that greeted us. I guess they don't book that floor because it was absolutely disgusting. The carpet probably hadn't been vacuumed in six months and the walls were a mess. As we climbed the stairs it got a little better, but generally the place gave me the creeps. I didn't want to touch anything in the room and couldn't wait to check out. The room we had was old and everything was run down. Other than the friendly service, this place is the pits! Continua a leggereRecensioni obiettive Hotels.com
"No Frills"

"Nice place for the price and convenience."
After reading some of the other reviews, I must say I was pleasantly surprised about the condition of the hotel. The staff were very friendly, the room was acceptable (I was attending a conference and was only there to sleep at night), and it was very convenient to where the conference was. It looked very nice from the outside, but was only fair on […] the inside...but was a good deal for the price. Continua a leggereRecensioni obiettive Hotels.com
"suited our purpose"
staff was very friendly,continental breakfast was good, hallways needed to be cleaned, The bathroom wall/wallpaper needed repair from water leaks .Bed was comfortable, suited our purpose for a place to sleep - which was all we needed. no elevator - steps to all rooms, if that is an issue.Recensioni obiettive Hotels.com
"It was ok could have been better"
Brentwood is a nice area... The room I was ok could have been better with the price I paid for. House keeping didn't visit one Time while I was there for the whole week, but it was okRecensioni obiettive Hotels.com
"The Neighboorhood is beautiful but the room hmmm.."
I specifically requested a NON smoking room and received a SMOKING room disguised as a NON smoking room. The hotel was NASTY and I paid close to 200.00 for 4 days of this. I heard a dog yapping the whole time and the people upstairs constantly walking around!!!Recensioni obiettive Hotels.com
We were very disappointed in the condition of this hotel. The carpeting in the hallways and in the room was very dirty and stained. We repeatedly told management that the laminate flooring in the one hallway needed scrubbed from what appeared to be pet urine stains. The staff that we encountered were friendly & as helpful as they could be...they did […] seem very busy. Unless this hotel gets cleaned up, we will not stay here again or recommend it to anyone.

"Dirty and Smelly"
The Non-smoking room and entire hall had a very thick smokey smell that made me and all of my belongings smell very bad. Also the room itself was just old and not very clean to the standards of what a hotel should be. Decent for the low nightly cost of $47 a night i suppose, but not an enjoyable stay.Recensioni obiettive Hotels.com
Nice, cheap and close to interstate - exactly what we needed.Recensioni obiettive Hotels.com
OK for the priceRecensioni obiettive Hotels.com
"Awful experience"
This hotel was filthy. I would have gone somewhere else if I had not pre-paid through hotel.com on a daily deal. It is obvious that people are living there - not business people, but families. My guess is families who cannot afford any place else. The room stank and the carpet had dark stains. I hardly slept as I worried about whether someone would […] break in. I put a chair under the door, but had a ground floor window. I left the light on all night. Do not stay here. Continua a leggereRecensioni obiettive Hotels.com
"Looked like it had been flooded"
The halls in my area of the hotel looked as though they had been recently flooded. The hall reeked of mildew and there was no way to turn the shower on. Even the ice trya had mildew in it. Not staying here again: EVER!Recensioni obiettive Hotels.com
Hotel was good for the money.. Needs updates.. Items such as rugs, lights... bathroom.. The room was overall clean and good for the time I was there... Toilet ran off and on all through the night though..Recensioni obiettive degli ospiti Expedia
"Nice People, Nasty Hotel"
The people at the front desk are probably the nicest people you would ever meet. Very helpful in guiding me in from out of town and even kept up with the weather report in concern for my safety. Unfortunately, they work in a dump. I'll try to paint a picture: Walking down the hall to the room - bad smell and stains on the carpet. Walk into the room […] - more bad smell, dirty carpet, walls desperately need a coat of paint, something that resembles mucus (I hope) on the wall next to the bed, cigarette burns in the sink and on the windowsill, stains on the furniture, caulk gooped on the closet roof in a shabby attempt to repair a hole in the corner where the closet door was likely ripped off the wall. Did I mention the mold and cobwebs in the ceiling? Continua a leggereRecensioni obiettive Hotels.com
There is only one thing I can saw nice about the hotel and that is the staff was polite and friendly. The hotel was filthy, faucets leaked, carpets nasty, wallpaper coming off walls, cracks on the walls, the bed sunk to the middle making it hard to sleep and they had full kitchens but no hair dryers. Would never stay there again or recommend. Dogs were […] barking at times as well. Continua a leggereRecensioni obiettive degli ospiti Expedia

"Very good value for the dollar"
We were quite surprised at the very good quality of our room. It was very clean, had all the amenities necessary ie micro, full sized fridge, flat screen. The bed was very comfortable and this location is about 15 mins from downtown Nashville. There is also Judge Bean's Texas-style restaurant (go for the jambalaya - it's sinful!) just about a mile away […] if you want to stay local. The staff were friendly, helpful and got us towels, toothbrushes and toothpaste when we asked. We did notice on our last day that there were dogs in the room next door and we could hear them very clearly which, if they were there our entire stay, would have prompted a "thin walls" review. No downside - we paid about $100 for two nights and have never stayed in a place for that price (last minute reservation, also) that was close to this quality. Definitely recommend. Paige was very nice also, and we hope she is feeling better. Continua a leggereRecensioni obiettive Hotels.com

Nice place but I was supposed to get a non smoking room and the room was definitely a smoking room.

"close to shopping, restaurants, etc"
We liked the set-up with a refrigerator and kitchen, nice sized room, table and chairs and love seat, also an outside pool. Neighborhood pleasant & staff friendly. Did have to let staff know about bags of garbage in stairwells, before it was removed. Also room was fairly clean except for linoleum floors which needed a good scrubbing!

"I wouldn't stay here in the future...."
Well, There was mad drama from the time I came to the hotel to check in....one of the guests was fussing about the bed being hard and the fact that she needed another pillow. the receptionist told the guest that she couldnt help her because the guests took all the pillow....so the guests made a big show and a fuss and from there I felt kinda...umm...scared...finally […] after the dramatic show, I was given my room key and I headed towards my room....the hallway was DISGUSTING and it smelled HORRID...since these are studio efficiencies with kitchens, everyone was cooking and frying food and the smell was mixed in the air which made me and my husband want to vomit...the carpets are old and stained, the room had horrible unpleasant lighting. the bed was soft at least....but everything was very...ewww....I wouldnt stay here again ever ever...i feel bad for the receptionist because she was very nice. but this building needs to do a TOTAL makeover.....so sad since it's located in such a beautiful area....tsk..tsk...tsk....

text: George Condo: Mental States surveys the artist's Condo's loose, imaginative approach to portraiture has distinguished him throughout the decades. "There was a time when I realized that the central focal point of portraiture did not have to be representational in any way," he said in 1992. "You don't need to paint the body to show the truth about a character. All you need is the head and the hands." Organized by theme, and including 100 images of artworks in addition to writings by Will Self, David Means, Ralph Rugoff and Laura Hoptman, this volume explores Condo's relationship to art history, popular culture, and contemporary society.

Hey Smoke, I was going to mention LiveBinders but you read my mind! For those teachers fortunate enough to have iPod Touches, iPads, or even an iPhone should follow http://www.appolicious.com/ Great site for lists of apps for education.
No teacher website list is complete without two of the most comprehensive education sites out there!
My own honorable mention is Visuwords (www.visuwords.com) an online graphical dictionary and thesaurus. Just insert the word you are looking at and bubbles start popping up around it with definitions and alternate word choices and the uses for those words. Very cool and very interactive!
Here's one I just found out about via Plurk...
Links to help find paid iphone apps for free!
Everyone needs this one, but especially teachers with limited budget!!!
I used Visual Thesaurus before but had not played with Visual Words. I am very excited because the FIRST term from my core that I entered in Visual Words brought up excellent examples relating to our subject. Unlike Visual Thesaurus, it appears that Visual Words is a free tool. Thanks to you, I now have a new tool for students to use!
Collaboration ROCKS!
I have downloaded and installed the app: AppConnect2. This app includes changes in app pricing - for example "Sale." If an app becomes free, it shows up on the "Sale" side. One day last summer, I got about $50.00 of free Astronomy apps thanks to this program. I check the app about once a day - wondering what's free that I can or might use.
Has someone use a different app for finding apps that are now "free" but were cost before?
This is a great tool to use if you are wanting to make a tutorial for someone of your desktop. It's very easy to use. You can then post it to YouTube or export it.
I had not played with Screencast-o-Matic before. I can see ideas on how students could create a screencast of content they are studying. Gotta think about how/when I could use it in the classroom. From the quick trial I just did, it appears you do not need an account to use Screencast-o-Matic.
I don't mind the watermark version to have it free for students.
Has anyone used this program with students? What challenges have you faced? How did you implement it in your core? Inquiring minds want to know .
Word cloud creators are numerous and a wonderful aid. Here's a few resources and attached is the pdf of the Pecha Kucha presentation I gave at Camp Plug and Play in Tucson a couple of weeks ago.
How do you use Word Clouds to promote learning in the classroom?

http://www.empressr.com/Default.aspx Empressr is a nice presentation tool that teachers and students can use instead of powerpoint. It is also easy to update your old powerpoint presentations by uploading old ones and give them a fun new look with little effort on your part. The site is super easy to use- much easier than Prezi- and fun. Definitely worth taking a look at.
Christy- you are correct- this was easy- I really liked the play on words - like you are going to be "empressed" I think that middle school kids would get it and although corny they would be all over it. Do you uses these presentations for your students or do you have your students create presentations using this tool?
My students love it as well as the other teachers in my school that I have shared it with...it is easy and impresses all who use it. You might notice that your presentation will be different each time you show it. Just one more thing that I like about Empressr.
I like how Empressr allows you to embed your presentation. I also am thrilled that presentations may be made private and need a password to view. I think it is also interesting how you can track the length of time a user spends on each page of a presentation. I see some definite uses in classroom settings for this.
What challenges do you expect teachers may face when Empressr changes out of Beta?
Having all these resources tied to one single post is a great idea! I see lots already mentioned that came to mind, and several new ones to check out and share with the teachers I support. Thanks for the discussion starter. Here are a couple that I don't believe have been mentioned. They are both useful tools for general information gathering directly relevant to educators...not really tools for use with kids, but I've found many links through them over the years.
Teachers First: This is a great project and I really value the email newsletters that review sites and send updates about contests and grants, etc.
Education World: Been around forever, but still one of my favorite resources for finding out about new stuff. Sign up for the email newsletters.
Also, I think this was mentioned a bit, but I can't emphasize enough how much I've grown simply by starting to use a feed reader to follow several blogs. I think every teacher should take the time to learn to use one (I use Google Reader, but I know there are many other options), find a few valuable blogs to gather RSS feeds from, and see how much you can be energized by skimming other's great ideas. I try to "schedule" 15 minutes a day on my calendar to skim the feeds and it really isn't overwhelming. I open my delicious.com account before I start skimming and I bookmark and tag as I go so I can make use of the links later when I'm asked to provide support.
Thanks for sharing this tool. I played around with it yesterday and really like it. I think students will find it as easy to use as I did, and be able to create some really nice presentations with it. I can see their imaginations working overtime now! I myself created a screencast for our teachers covering some of the new things that they can find on my instructional coach Moodle page at school. I also had fun creating review lessons for math using my Interwrite tablet. I can see how useful it could be to link these screencasts to my classroom calendar for those students who may have been absent. Students will be able to not only see my slides, but hear me talk about what I am doing as well. I can also see the use for creating screencasts ahead of time for a sub (when I know I am going to be gone), who might not be comfortable teaching some of the more difficult math topics that are covered in my classroom.
I am going to add to your list of technology sites that teachers might want to consider checking into for projects in the classroom focusing on publication/presentation tools. Students can create ebooks and much more at the following sites. All of them are super easy to use so teachers and students alike can use the sites easily leaving more time for creating and taking up less time figuring out how to use the technology.
epubbud (This site has free ebooks to download as well.)
kerpoof (geared for elementary age kids I think)
The following two sites are great presentation tools that have not been mentioned yet. Animoto is a favorite of many people, but to get a video longer than 30 seconds you need to have a subscription. Flixtime is very similar to Animoto, but one is able to create a video presentation with no time limit completely free. Slideroll is another easy to use presentation tool that my students have had great success using in the classroom.

A sorbet of colours made the Salvatore Ferragamo the highlight of Milan Men's Fashion Week. Said to have been inspired by the colours of a David Hockney LA canvas, the hues are romantically named Pacific, Curacao, Spearmint, Limoncello and Pink Pepper. Designer Massimiliano Giornetti has been doing great things at Ferragamo over the last few years managing to cleverly balance something that is grown-up yet interesting enough to attract the modern, trend led man.

West Fargo, ND - North Dakotans who will be celebrating July 4th with outdoor activities can expect to have plenty of company in the form of mosquitoes. Still, there are effective ways to keep the skeeters at bay. Comments from Ben Prather (PRAY-ther), director, Cass County Vector Control. Photo available of a mosquito.
After the long cool spring, mosquitoes in North Dakota are trying to make up for lost time as the Fourth of July approaches. Ben Prather with Cass County Vector Control says there will be plenty of mosquitoes looking for a holiday meal, thanks to healthy rains that crossed parts of the state in the recent weeks.
"And of course, some pretty catastrophic river flooding in other areas that are going to increase significantly the mosquito population. So, I would say over the next month at least, we're going to see heightened biting pressure." |
Currently, there are about three-dozen mosquito species that live in North Dakota.
As far as mosquito repellents go, Prather says for the best results stick with DEET and shy away from the various "home-remedy" options.
"There are a few out there that show some fruit, but definitely go with the products that are registered. Your DEETs, lemon of oil eucalyptus is a more natural-style repellent that is now registered as a EPA repellent. Picaridin is an active ingredient in some of the more natural, quote-unquote, kinds of repellents." |
Prather also suggests wearing light-colored, loose and long-sleeved clothing to help keep the bites down.

text: I retired early to go to Malawi where I am a Christian Missionary living in Nsanje Malawi in the furthest southern part of Malawi. We learned that nursing infants whose mothers die usually starve to death, so we began a baby formula program to help those nursing babies survive their mother's death. They are cared for by their fraternal grandparents primarily and live in in the same village with the rest of their family. It has been a great way to gain the trust of the coimmunity and make a real difference. We also work closely with the district hospital and advocate for patient care. We built a community center that includes a library, a class room and a clinic in Ngabu Village about 6 miles south of Nsanje where the hospital is. We have helped over 50 babies survive since 2006 and pray we can do even more. We created Empowering People Internationally (see our website)which is a non-profit organization to help with our work in Nsanje. For the most part we are funded through our local church, Church By The Side of the Road in Seatac Washington and thru private donations. I am in the states now for a break but will return to Malawi in January of 2012, but our work their continues in our absence. I had wanted to go to Nyasaland since I was 10 yrs old andI didn't know until I had already decided to go to Malawi that Malawi used to be called Nyasaland before getting their independence from England. God is so good to me He got me where I wanted to be since I was a child and I know He put that into my heart. Now I am in Malwi, doing God's work and loving it. I am truly blessed

Fort Ridgely Minnesota Sunday, Oct 5th, 1862, Friend Billy Some two or three months ago I received a letter from you, but whether I have answered it or not, I am unable to state, but nevertheless to make sure, I will now write to you, hoping that if your letter has been neglected until now that you will excuse my apparent procrastination when you are informed how the last two months have been spent by me.

Valuable Java, JavaScript and ADF resources
0In the past few days, I have been working hard on several projects – both ADF and (plain) Java based, with quite a bit of JavaScript involved as well. The three main functional challenges:
- support keyboard (function key based) navigation in rich ADF Web pages (in addition to mouse based actions)
- support online and inline editing of customized (per context) resource bundle entries
- create a stand-alone viewer that allows users to inspect images (jpeg, tiff), PDF documents and Word and Excel documents
While working on these requirements, I have used – through Google, my main tool – a large number of very valuable resources on the internet. From the Oracle Technology Network Forums (OTN) to StackOverflow (http://stackoverflow.com), from personal blogs to corporate white papers as well as formal documentation – I have picked an incredible number of brains in a very condensed period of time.
I did not stop to leave notes of gratitude on all the sites I have come across. So I thought – for my own future reference as well as to pay some hommage to all these sites and individuals that helped me and to provide some insight in what challenges I faced and how I addressed them – to write More >

I am a music producer and have my sound production kit seperate from my games PC... Basically I know my stuff as far as music production sound cards are concerned but not the gamer level cards for average PC's Im looking to connect my Logitech Z5500 5.1 speakers to my gaming rig. -I want all the different EAX effects for games -I want Dolby Prologic & DTS -Optical and Co-Axial connects... -windows vista / XP compatibility All suggestions welcome, im feeling itchy as its payday and if i get good responses now I will order it now
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=SC-003-HT&groupid=701&catid=11&subcat= Auzentech X-Plosion DTS Connect 7.1 Im looking at this, but I dont think it does EAX for my games...
I have the same exact speakers for my home and gaming PC, and am building a new computer tomorrow. I bought this sound card and will be my third time using it in a build. It is perfect via the Optical cable no matter which Windows you like to use, XP or Vista. Its stable, no crashes. bluegears b-Enspirer 7.1 Channels 24-bit 192KHz PCI Interface Sound Card It also comes with an optical cable. I also killed one by accident by giving it a static electricity shock, I sent an email to the RMA department and they responded in a matter of hours the same day telling me where to send it. I had a brand new one back sealed in the box in 2 weeks.
As for EAX, I think Creative has a monopoly on the newer versions but its not worth buying Creative for.
that looks good, thanks... as personally i dont wanna break the bank with this as its only going to be for games not work and if its optical out i wont lose any sound quality through the AD/DA's if its a cheap card... Only problem is that I have an account with overclockers.co.uk that I always use (before you tell me horror stories about them, Ive never had any issues with them before and am a happy customer of theirs).
Here are my two cents worth on the subject of sound, i used to LOVE Creative, but EAX is not really selling point for me anymore, that is really all they have going for them, in fact if you use Vista EAX is irrelavent because it does not work properly, you have to get there program called alchemy to run in the background and change the signal from EAX to like openAL and direct sound, it sounds like a lot of hooey to me, i personally will not buy from creative anymore... i bought an audigy Platinum EX about a year and a half ago, and i think it is starting to die... so i will be in the hunt soon enough.... There you go, take it for what it is worth
how would you guys rate this card: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=SC-003-HT&groupid=701&catid=11&subcat= seriously thinking of it from a price and quality perspective from the overclockers.co.uk selection.
that looks like a pretty decent card actually. i used to have a c-media chipset on my last motherboard and was very pleased with it. the one i had did 3d mixing and all that crap and it sounded really good, if you ask me, if you have a decent sound system, and im guessing you do, then you will have good sound.. i will start looking at sound cards also, and let you know if i find anything worth looking at
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=SC-000-AS I have not had the chance to test this card out yet, but have heard only the best of things regarding its features and performance.
That card that Sinew posted is nice, but the reason I didn't choose it was because I couldn't connect it to my Z-5500's via Optical cable.
TBH, if EAX is a big selling point for you the only two options I can recommend are the Creative Xtreme Gamer Fatal1ty Pro or the Auzentech X-Fi Prelude. Both are also apable of dolby decoding, only the Auzen Prelude is capable of dolby encoding, though. Both cards are amoung the fastest audio cards on the market as well. But, issues arise if you intend to run Vista. Although EAX can be enabled through the workaround of both the OpenAL API and the ALchemy drivers, it's still a workaround. There is no direct support for EAX, or any hardware acceleration in Vista. Although these cards have a range of issues as well, no audio card right now is problematic free in WIN Vista, so . . . If you're looking for even better sound quality and good overall audio creation quality as well, I'd also recommend the X-Fi Elite Pro.
Get a real amp pluged in to it with some real speakers... As for a amp and speakers to choose i cannot say as you should know what i like is more likely different than you. Maybe a nice SONY Amp or ONKYO with DTS and connect it to the rear of the PC.
Is there a major difference between a lower end X-Fi card and a higher end one? I just ordered http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16829102017 this weekend..seemed like a good price for an X-Fi Optics
I've heard more bad than good about that one...hell when it first came out Creative didn't even officially support it! Dunno if they do now...but last I checked that version is an Audigy sourced chip or something...it does not have the actual X-Fi chip on board...bummer too because I almost snatched it in hopes of a PCI-e 1X X-Fi sound card. I hope the support and overal quality of the card have improved, it has a decent price point...I hope it is worth it now.
Well last night i got itchy fingers and went for this card: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=SC-001-AS&groupid=701&catid=11&subcat= Asus Xonar D2X 7.1 PCI-Express Sound Card I think itll work well, has vista 64bit drivers and i couldnt find anyone saying anything bad about it.... also it is PCI Express X1 so can fit above my graphics cards if I go Crossfire Does open al, direct X sound & eax (Also i finally bought Vista 64bit... will hook it all up this weekend! )
The best Creative alternative out now that's under $100 is the HT-Omega Claro (not to be confused with the Claro Plus) But if you want all EAX effects + Dolby, it's Auzentech Auzen X-Fi Prelude 7.1 for you. Though I'd recommend the former.
I got serious studio monitor speakers, thats not what I want it for, only gaming and the occasional dvd... I have Tannoy Reveal 5a Active studio monitors & a large pair of Mackie 824active studio monitors (as my main monitors)... this will drop pretty much any piece of home AV equipment as they are studio quality, built in amps and high spec, but I use it in my music production and not for my gaming rig.
Well Studio monitors speakers sound differant than Hi Hi speakers which is why i don't use computer speakers as i find missing sounds even more so in the 100-400Hz area of sound. But like i said it depends on what you like. typically Technics for classical music but like SONY more upbeat type music and TEAC for fast paced music as they had a tighter base that kepted up. I hate blobby sounding base lol. And i love a base that will travel up\down though a room. Thats why i regreated selling my old tannoys back from 1983 NOW they were what real speakers were about with there white cone with rubber reflex and a unique tweeter( which was used a lot back then) which was made of cloth . But as i keep saying depends on what you like you might even like a flat sound or a blobby kinda base or even a sharp sound. I my self did not have the option were i live now but if you can get out and check some hifi gear out DO IT and make a day of it. Well thats if you can afford it and all.
with that card in question? Yes, there is a major difference even between that card an a Xtreme Gamer model. Ther hardware is completely different. @twicksisted - if you wouldn't mind posting some feedback on the Xonar after you've got it installed. I haven't heard much on their PCIE card yet.
what does that translate into as far as performance is concerned? the before mentioned card doesnt rely on the CPU to do its processing does it? Thats the only reason I got the dang thing, cause I heard X-Fi have their own processing capabilities.
they do, except for the Xtreme Audio. The Xtreme Audio card uses a Creative chipset instead of the X-Fi audio processing unit, which means that all actual sound processing is still done by the CPU itself. There is also a big difference in the number of hardware voices the cards are capable of, and a staggering difference in the number of software voices (due to the hardware architecture of the X-Fi APU). With a good dual or quad core CPU, you won't really notice any actual performance differences in-game. What performance the APU brings to the table, though, is how fast it can process the audio files and play them back. Having the workload off of the CPU doesn't slow the CPU down at all. My honest recommendation, if possible, would be to return the card for an Xtreme Gamer; you'll more than likely be a lot happier with it's abilities. Not to say the Xtreme Audio is a bad card . . . it just isn't deserving of the "X-Fi" branding.
hmm, I appreciate the tip. yes the game I play has ridiculously high processor requirements and I want to do all I can to help alleviate my CPU. just a little disappointed in the X-Fi for now. would you reccommend any other brand cards that would perform well/do their own processing? edit: im dumb just read the above recomended cards
That is a beautiful card right there. Happily running DTS using the optical cable it comes with. Incredible sound.
well, in the sub $100 range, I can second btarunr's recommendation on the HT Omega's - good quality card's for their price. But, if you're looking for a soundcard that is capable of handling all audio processing on it's own, you're pretty much stuck with the X-Fi lineup; unless you're willing to pay for an Auzentech Prelude, which makes use of the same X-Fi APU. I tend to not recommend the Xtreme Audio to other users, simply because you're not relly getting an X-Fi; and asides, the price of an Xtreme Gamer is not much more comparitively. If you can find an Xtreme Music still for sale on ebay or elsewhere, they tend to run the same price (or slightly more) than the XG, but offer improved versatility as well. Aside from those, though, sound cards that make use of chipsets all require some amount of processing on the CPUs part - to what extent varies greatly by the chipset chosen for the card, and accompanying DSPs and other components. They're still faster than onboard solutions, and require less CPU processing, though. A good recommendation if you can find it at a nice price: Razer's Barracuda AC-1. Fast, not as fast as an X-Fi, but provides slightly better audio quality - so it's a bit of a trade off either way.

Beyond Boundaries Participant's Guide
Price: | $6.99 |
Choose a Retailer Below
Has someone violated your trust, broken your heart, left you wondering if you can experience intimacy again? Beyond Boundaries, by bestselling author Dr. John Townsend, is a six-session, video-based study with participant's guide (sold separately) that takes participants through the process of trusting and opening up to love again. Starting over is not easy, but with some work, participants can rediscover the intimacy they were created to enjoy.
Painful relationships violate trust and close hearts. But God designed us to experience freedom and love, and to live this way we need to take risks.
After six books on boundaries, bestselling author Dr. John Townsend realized that, though people who experienced tough relationships may put up an emotional wall to protect themselves, they often have no idea how to reconnect with the person who has violated their trust or forge a fresh connection with someone new.
In Beyond Boundaries, Townsend offers a simple path to regain the intimacy and fulfilling closeness that every human needs.
How do you know you're ready to trust again … and what does it take to be ready?
In this six-session, video-based study, Townsend takes participants beyond the pain of the past to re-enter a life of intimate relationships. Beyond Boundaries walks through the process of healing broken trust in a relationship or beginning a new relationship in a healthy way. Starting over is possible. You can find the intimacy that you long for, and you can do it in a way that honors God.

Barrow is situated 1,300 miles south of the North Pole, making it the northernmost community in the United States. Two-thirds of its approximately 4,500 residents are of Inupiat Eskimo descent. The local culture is an interesting mix of traditional lifestyles influenced by community investments from the profits of the Alaskan Pipeline. Rustic cottages still have animal skins drying outside, while on the inside, people enjoy cable TV and Internet access. Because of its location, the area is also a research center for climate change.
Visitors to Barrow can learn more about Inupiat culture and history at the Inupiat Heritage Center, or by visiting during the Nalukataq - the traditional spring whaling festival, usually held in June. Another unique Barrow attraction is the Will Rogers and Wiley Post Monument, a memorial dedicated to Will Rogers, famous American humorist, and Wiley Post, the first pilot to fly solo around the world. Their plane crashed just outside of town in 1935 as they were attempting to fly from Fairbanks to Siberia.

Get professional looking cut crown molding in your own home - and do it yourself - for a fraction of the cost of hiring a contractor.
The Cut-N-Crown System makes it possible. With Cut-N-Crown you eliminate cutting errors, reduce material waste, and save time and money.
The secret is in Cut-N-Crown's unique system of jigs, which allows you to make all of your crown molding cuts on the left side of the saw. This feature eliminates the primary reason cutting errors occur - moving the saw from left to right to make an opposing cut. Every cut is a mirror of the previous cut.
The result is professional looking crown molding every time!
The Cut-N-Crown System was invented by Sheldon Smith, a contractor and carpenter with over 20 years of experience. He spent many of those years struggling with the traditional way of cutting crown molding. Finally one day Sheldon decided that he could find a better method. After months of trial and error he developed prototypes for what would become the Cut-N-Crown jigs. He got a patent, got a manufacturer to start making his jigs, and set out to show the world the best way to cut crown molding. Sheldon has been on the road for years promoting this amazing product. Time and Time again he demonstrates to do it yourself guys, professional carpenters, cabinet makers and master craftsman you can cut crown molding without using a coping saw and without having to continually re-adjust your saw.
Now it's your turn to become part of this fantastic story.
