Ang indi makahibalo magbalikid sa iya nga ginhalinan, indi makalab-ot sa iya padulungan. Some refer to it as the national proverb and yet few Filipinos ever put it to heart. That's the Hiligaynon translation. The moment I got off the tricycle in front of our house in Bacolod, I knew I was home.
It was refreshing seeing a familiar place although I've been there only thrice in my life and not in the past ten years. As I opened the gate, I felt a surge of energy. Walking around brought back memories more so as I looked at a photo of myself as a kid on the walls of one of the rooms. My grandparents died a few months apart in September 2002 and February 2003. I never got to attend their wakes since for some reason, I was out of the country when it happened. It's a coincidence that they died a few months apart since they were born just two months apart as well.
Tired from the non-stop travel, I went straight to bed.
I woke up the next day to catch the ferry to Iloilo City. I had wanted to see Iloilo for the longest time and now that I was in Bacolod, this was my chance. But before that, I walked to the Cathedral of Bacolod which was on the same street as our house, to take photos.
Bacolod is called the City of Smiles. Just like the City of San Fernando in Pampanga, Bacolod City is the capital of a rich sugar-producing province, Negros Occidental. It's also a coincidence that both my mom and my dad are from sugar-producing provinces.
According to oral tradition, the Henares clan were weavers from Iloilo. During the middle of the 19th Century, there was an exodus of migrants from Iloilo to the sparsely-populated island of Negros due to a boom in sugar production. Having been orphaned, the siblings led by Mateo, my great-great grandfather, and his brother Esteban, joined the migration to Negros and upon arriving, armed only with the knowledge of the Spanish language, secured a loan that would serve as capital for what would become a plantation in Talisay.
To make the long story short, the venture boomed. Mateo managed the plantation in Talisay while Esteban took care of business in Bacolod. The brothers were able to build their homes in an area along what is now Rizal Street. This area during the early post-war years was fondly referred to as Henares block since everyone in the block was a Henares. As a result of this hardwork, they were able to send their children to the best schools in Manila, among whom were my great-grandfather Pedro G. Henares (UP College of Medicine, 1915; Bacolod's first health officer, 1917 to 1919; and municipal councilor, 1925 to 1928), and his younger brother Hilarion G. Henares, Sr. (UP College of Engineering, 1917; and a government pensionado), the father of journalist and former cabinet secretary Larry Henares. Esteban Henares even became municipal president (mayor) of Bacolod from 1913 to 1916. Well, that's a little bit of family history and I'll stop here lest I bore you. Hehe!
From the cathedral, I took a pedicab to the pier since it was in the reclamation area, quite far for a walk and since no jeeps passed that area. There were a lot of fast ferries available and I picked the one that would bring me there the fastest. Hehe! The student fare on Ocean Jet is PHP221 one-way. Hmmm, I didn't expect it to cost that much for such a short trip. Well, you get what you pay for. The seats were in good condition and they get you there in exactly an hour.

The Heet Sound Products EBow Sustainer is a hand-held electronic bow for use with guitars. The compact 9V battery-powered EBow unit is designed to replace the pick in the right hand so a guitarist can mimic orchestral strings, horns and woodwinds with incredible sensitivity. The EBow produces a powerful infinite sustain, rich in harmonics for incredible guitar sounds. The EBow lets you play as fast as your left hand can scurry through a lick. Fade a string in from a motionless state for a reverse-tape effect. Run the EBow across the strings for gorgeous arpeggios. Add distortion for a screaming guitar sound. Playing the EBow directly over the pickup will increase your volume many fold and give you the crisp sound of super-hot pickups. Moving away from the pickup gives you the mellow sound of a hollow body electric. The sounds you discover by experimenting with the EBow will amaze you. And like the best tools of the trade, the EBow will sound different for each musician.

Each year I find my imagination and talents taxed to come up with new Christmas toy ideas for our nephews living nearby. This year decided to attempt to make some wooden sail boat toys. These guys have a pond in their back yard and a pool as well, both of which prove an irresistible temptation that often leads to a paddling. So, I thought if I can help to encourage bad behavior, then why not. Knowing nothing about this I called on you lunberjocks for advice and a few of you had guidance that helped me get started. The pink one is going to a niece in Nevada. I discovered quickly that they are called pond yachts and it is a big hobby all around the world.
There was a big learning curve on this largely trial and error project. For the hull and keel I eventually landed on a process that started with a section of Fir 2X4 about 13 inches long. I then traced the rough shape of the boat and keel location on the Fir block. I took the block to the drill press and hollowed it out. On the table saw I cut a 1/8th inch wide and deep channel in the bottom which would receive a 1/8th inch slice of pressure treated pine pulled from the scrap bin and use as keel boards.
At the band saw I removed wood to create the rough shape of the hull, finishing the shaping by sanding. I added a lead fishing weight to the keel to keep the boat upright and attached it to the hull in the dado cut earlier.
The top was sealed with a 1/8th pine plate cut from scrap. Blocks were added to the top for a cabin and back to the press for the insertion of the mast.
I sowed sails from Nylon material and attached them with 40 lb. test braided line to the rigging made of White Oak dowel and brass cup hooks. Paint and sanding finished the job.
The stands were made from scrap bin lumber. Small pieces of Walnut, oak and other wood toy parts left from previous Christmas projects. It was a fun project and produced a rugged toy that should last several seasons. Thanks for looking and have a Very Merry Christmas!

The following message is directed at anyone who lives in a climate where they have weather in the 70s year-round:
I envy you.
The weather has been gorgeous, and I can't help but wish it was always like this. 72 and breezy...my kind of day. I can wear tights without suffering from heat exhaustion, or I can go tight-less and not get frostbite. See? Perfect.
Of course, this is a double-edged sword, for I do not live in an environment where I can enjoy this luxury all year. With each day that passes, I wonder if another cold front will sweep through, or, even worse, if a heat wave will take over. March is probably the scariest month to live in North Texas because it is the least predictable. And, really, weather is always unpredictable in Texas, so March is especially unpredictable.
We shall see what March of 2011 holds in store for us. In the meantime, I'll hold my 72 degree days dearly and pray that the weather fairies continue to give us mild weather.
Hope you enjoyed your first day of March! Ta ta for now, lovelies!

I have not seen much about her near-term post-landing plans, although she is reportedly going to be in Washington DC on October 4 for an announcement about the $10-million Genomics X Prize the X Prize Foundation is developing. She will also be at the X Prize Cup later in October in New Mexico.

There is a choice of three models, equipped with ultraefficient and reliable ECOTECH engines, one rated from 250 hp to 300 hp. With its ideal powerto- weight ratio, the Terrus CVT is perfect for rapid transport duties as well as for heavy-duty field work.

A spring-mounted front axle combined with a luxurious and remarkably quiet cab make work comfortable and fatigue-free. Also on board: the very latest technologies, such as S-TECH, ISOBUS III and Easy-Tronic II, as well as S-FLEET. Gigantic power delivered – the new TERRUS CVT.
You can choose from a total of seven models. Outstanding
transmission design ensures excellent performance
and provides the range with its name: CVT stands for
Continuously Variable Transmission and describes a
gearbox with a continuously variable ratio. The ECOTECH

The Kompakt class from STEYR is revolutionising the cost-benefit calculation process. The models are light, manoeuvrable and flexible. Equipped with the proven technology of its larger brethren, these models are ideally suited to virtually all kinds of application. Engines with ratings of 58 to 114 hp and a superlative power-to-weight ratio guarantee optimum efficiency.

Made with Glacier Melt Water
Our water source is filtered, glacial water from the Lyngen Alps. This is water that was frozen more than 5,000 years ago forming large glaciers high in the alps. Over the last 100 years these glaciers have gradually begun to melt, providing the main ingredient in Bivrost alcoholic beverages.
Hi Tech Handcraft
Our products are distilled in one of the most modern distilleries in Europe, iPad controlled and online. Still – that is no substitute for the skilled handcraft we rely on when making Bivrost products.
In the old mythology, the Vikings named the northern lights Bivrost. It was seen as a magical -bridge from the homeworld of humans in the world called Midgard, to the realms of the Norse Gods of Asgard.
Bivrost® Vodka is handcrafted under the glow of the Northern Lights, at the foot of the majestic Lyngen Alps. Melting water from glaciers dating back more than 5000 years is purified and distilled to ensure a ‐unique product of Arctic Norway.
Bivrost® Vodka is a fresh and clean spirit with a smooth and silky finish, suitable for mixing your favourite drink or simply enjoyed on its own.

In an unexpected and unannounced move Microsoft has extended their new subscriber pricing for Outlook.com Premium until 30 June 2017.
Since opening up the subscription service preview to all customers in the United States last October Microsoft has removed the preview label on 14 February and expanded the service to six other countries on 23 March.
Last Friday the introductory pricing was scheduled to expire but, as they discovered over on Thurrott.com over the weekend, the special initial subscription pricing of $19.95 has been extended for an additional three months. That means anyone in the US, Canada, United Kingdom, Singapore, Australia, Hong Kong, and Ireland can get their own premium account at that pricing in their local currency.
Outlook.com Premium is an excellent deal at its normal $49.99 per year when you compare it to Hosted Exchange accounts that cost $60 per year. Getting it at just $19.95 for what appears to be the life of the subscription, well barring any price increases that is over time, is an outstanding deal.
This premium service turns your current Outlook.com account into a personalized email address with a custom domain that can be purchased through Microsoft for $10 per year (free the first year) or you can use a domain you already have registered through your own domain registrar.
No matter how you go about getting your personalized domain you can invite four other people to have their own customized email account on this unique domain and it is all included in the annual subscription price.
These accounts work with their own Outlook.com accounts and will become aliases for their Microsoft Accounts which means they can be used with all of Microsoft's various services tied to that Microsoft Account.
Check out our step by step guides for signing up/configuring Outlook.com Premium and inviting others to get their own personalized email account on your domain.
But, wait...there's probably more so be sure to follow me on Twitter and Google+.

Richard Carpenter's insurers have admitted liability for breach of duty over the player's two-footed lunge three-and-a-half years ago.
Casper was left with a broken fibula and tibia and ankle ligament damage after a tackle by Carpenter in Reading's 2-0 defeat by Cardiff City at Ninian Park on Boxing Day in 1999.
And despite playing in a handful of reserve games and pre-season friendlies, he never played a competitive first-team game after that.
The former Manchester United defender embarked on a long legal battle against Carpenter, who now plays for Brighton, and Cardiff City FC Ltd's insurers.
The court case was due to begin on Monday, but it looks as though Casper has been spared the trauma of reliving the incident as the two sides will now try to come to a satisfactory out-of-court settlement.
However, the exact amount of compensation might not be agreed until next year.
Casper, who was signed from Manchester United for £300,000 by former Royals boss Tommy Burns in September 1998, made 55 appearances for Royals.
He was coaching at University side Team Bath last season, who made it to the first round of the FA Cup and won the Screwfix League.
ROYALS legend and Colchester United boss Phil Parkinson has signed former Reading winger Phil Hadland. The 22-year-old made just one appearance for Reading - at home to Barnsley in the League Cup in 1998.
SEVEN Reading youngsters start life as professional footballers this week.
Peter Castle (central defender), who is Royals' youngest-ever player, having come on as a substitute in the 3-0 win over Watford at the end of the season, Ryan Catney (midfielder), Darren Stapleton (left back), Simon Cox (striker), Ryan Crockford (midfielder), Jonathan Hayes (striker) and Curtis Osano (midfielder) have all signed three-year Academy scholarships.
READING'S Carling Cup first round clash at Boston United's York Street on Wednesday, August 13 will be pay on the day. Admission will be £12.50 for adults, £9 concessions and £6 under-16s.
READING target Richie Partridge has been told by Liverpool assistant boss Phil Thompson he still has a future at Anfield.
Winger Partridge is thought to be on Alan Pardew's wanted list if a deal for Bristol City's Scott Murray falls through.
Dubliner Partridge, who has made one appearance for the Reds, was on loan at Coventry last season and scored a cracker against Reading on Boxing Day.
But the 22-year-old has been assured he will be given a chance to make the first team at Anfield this season.

Fabulous! I used to live in a house with a terraced front yard - one of the terraces was completely covered in rosemary plants. I loved the sound of the bees as they visited the rosemary flowers, one of the sweetest (pun intended, lol) sounds on eartH! Can't wait to see the results of their hard work!

Hi Daniel, the bees do not mind us around them as long as we move nice and easy. They just go about their business. It is truly amazing to watch them work. Next year we hope to harvest our first honey from them. Thanks for the question! John and Brenda

Photographers Kris Krüg, James Duncan Davidson and Pinar Özger traveled to the Gulf of Mexico to document the effects of the oil spill from plane, truck and boat. Their images will be shown at the TEDx conference on Monday, June 28, which will gather together a host of big brains to share their thoughts, ideas and experiences on the Gulf oil spill.
The stunning images these photographers brought back are vivid reminders of how beautiful the region is — and how much has been lost.

Kisumu Campus Complex Amphitheater
The School of Law, Kisumu Campus, hosted a public lecture on Public Interest Litigation (PIL) in collaboration with the Kenyans for Peace with Truth and Justice (KPTJ), a coalition of over thirty (30) Kenyan and East African legal, human rights and governance organizations under the umbrella of the African Centre for Open Governance (AfriCOG). KPTJ was represented by Steve Ogolla (Advocate and Programme Officer), Njonjo Mue (Advocate) and Perpetua Adar (Advocate). The lecture, held from 2.00-4.45 p.m. on Friday, April 21, 2017 at the Campus Auditorium, was attended by forty-eight (48) participants, among them academic and administrative staff, students and representatives of the Campus's external stakeholders.
In their respective presentations, KPTJ representatives explained the concept, objectives, process, outcomes, and challenges of PIL and its importance in addressing critical issues in our society. They stressed the need for commitment to PIL by advocates, students of law and general members of the public because of its capacity to influence policy, law and practices of those involved in governance, and attitudes and practices of citizens. KPTJ also screened a short video on leadership and integrity which demonstrated how leaders engage in activities which breach the provisions of Chapter Six of the Constitution of Kenya with impunity.
The lecture ended with an interactive session during which participants made observations, gave opinions and raised issues with regard to both PIL and leadership and integrity.
In their final remarks, KPTJ representatives promised to continue engaging with the School of Law, Kisumu Campus, on matters related to PIL.
The session was closed by the Associate Dean of the School, Okech-Owiti, who thanked KPTJ and all the participants for their attendance and contributions in the crucial debate, and promised that the School would actively seek further engagement with KPTJ for the benefit of both staff and students, and the public at large.

Forget my natural cynicism and the British tendency to be a bit too modest. "What this old thing? Oh we just dusted off a bit of east London we found at the back of our wardrobe and popped in a couple of running tracks. Do you like it? It was nothing really."
However because I have a one track mind (fertility not sex – no, the two are in no way related in my experience) I can't help but think about the competitors from a baby making perspective.
I wonder how many athletes have put their baby making plans on hold until after the games. Just a week and a half all the nubile, healthy, athletes will be getting down to it as soon as the closing ceremony begins. Although on a side note, rumours of Grindr crashing through-over use when the athletes descended on Olympic village did amuse me – they clearly have a lot of excess energy to burn off. (For those of you who don't know what Grindr is don't google it at work.)
Thirty–one year old cyclist Victoria Pendleton, is engaged to be married, and has already announced that she plans to retire after the games. I anticipate a pedalling of tiny feet in the not too distant future.
Although whilst I'm thinking about cyclists I am relieved to hear that Bradley Wiggins already has two children. Because after his Tour De France tour de force followed by yesterday's win my concern was less for his gold medals and more for his brass nuts. I can't help but wonder what state his swimmers must be in after being sweatilly pressed into a cycling saddle for the best part of two months.
Talking of swimmers. Those blokes really do have some impressive ... muscle tone.
What's that? Irrelevant to my infertility ramblings? Come on, I'm only human.
Maybe I do have a two track mind after all.

Fany Gerson is set to open a new sweet shop dedicated to Mexican desserts. While Gerson is already the chef and co-owned of gourmet marketplace 'Dough,' now the culinary master is turning her attention to a new project.
The new sweet shop will be named 'La Newyorkina,' which is also the name of Gerson's existing line of sweets. The new store will differ in that it will be dedicated to chilled Mexican desserts such as nieve de garrafa. According to Gerson, there will be at least 30 different flavors of her wildly popular paletas, along with fruit-flavored chamuyadas, which are similar to shaved ice. There will also be several varieties of ice cream, with a specific focus on sorbet. In addition to the frozen treats, the shop will also serve other Mexican delicacies such as candied fruit and sugar cookies.

Aim: To add the open terminal option in the right click menu, and launch terminal from the same location where we are presently in the GUI.
If you want to open a terminal in the same folder where you are present in the GUI then you will have to use nautilus-open-terminal.
For eg: In the GUI you are in the folder /home/user1/office/
you want to open a terminal that opens such that it directly opens with its "pwd" as /home/user1/office.
Then you would need to install the nautilus-open-terminal package.
To install the package open the terminal and type
sudo nautilus-open-terminal.
Reboot your system, and voila... right click in any folder you are working in.
You will see an option "open terminal", click on it and a terminal will pop up, working in the same folder.

VÍTEJTE V PRAZE! Our camera broke right before our trip. So, we're still figuring out how it works. This is a fun failed attempt at a selfie.
Courtyard of Pražský hrad (Prague Castle)
metropolitní katedrála svatého Víta, Václava a Vojtěcha (Metropolitan Cathedral of Saints Vitus, Wenceslaus and Adalbert) - Construction was started in 1344 and completed in 1929 on the grounds of Prague Castle.
Interior of Cathedral
The cathedral has amazing stained glass windows. I wish the light was right to get better pics of them. The colors were so vibrant. Almost neon.
Alphonse Mucha's window portraying the spread of Christianity to the Slavic people.

Stained glass on the south side of the cathedral
This is just a small portion of (Jan Nepomucký) St John of Nepomuk's tomb, which contains more than 2 tons of silver.
St. Vitus Mosaic was restored from 1992-2008 with help from the Getty Conservation Institute. Each tile was removed, cleaned, regilded, given a protective coat, and reinstalled.

St. George's Basilica. The 2nd church of the Prague Castle complex
Interior of St. George's Basilica, which looks pretty good for being over 1,000 years old.
Looking toward the eastern gate near Rosenburg Palace.
This is a row of tiny houses. A new northern wall was constructed for the castle and these houses were squeezed between the two and called "Golden Lane." It's called "golden lane" because of the goldsmiths that lived there. But, we were told something a bit different. That lots of servant and soldiers lived here and it was called "Golden Lane" ironically because it's occupied by the poor. Either way, they are very tiny houses.
View of Prague over the Vltava River from Prague Castle.
Megan and I as secret service agents.
Another beautiful shot of Prague
View from our room at the Hotel Intercontinental Prague. The Čechův most (bridge) crossed the Vltava River leads to Letenské sady (Park).
Karlův most (Charles Bridge) was constructed in 1357 and the only way to cross the Vltava (Moldau) River until 1841. This made Prague a very important city for trade. It was inspired by the Old Stone Bridge in Regensburg. This tower is on the Old Town side.
Charles Bridge looking toward Prague Castle.
Megan with a stein of Kozel Dark Beer at VKolkovně. This 1 liter was 103 Krona (about $4). Long story short, I'm moving to Prague...
Great way to end a night.

Guess what? It's another plague column looking toward Prague Castle. One plague outbreak killed about 13,000 of 70,000 citizens. So, you can understand why people were so grateful to be alive.
Mmmm... Czech cookies!
Looking up at Schwarzenberský palác (palace) from a street with no name.
Looking down the street with no name
At some point we'll know when the camera will go off. That time is not now...
We figured it out!
Megan and I have a bit of a disagreement. I want this over the front door of our house and she wants it to stay in Prague. Who's right?
Filming a movie from a Josefov (Jewish Quarter) roundabout looking down V Kolkovně Street. A man told me all about it very passionately for a while. Unfortunately, I don't know Czech.
Megan enjoying a trdlo or trdelnik in front of týn Chrám Matky Boží před Týnem (Church of our Lady before týn). It's a cake grilled on a stick and covered with sugar and a walnut mix. Some places fill it with ice cream, gelato, and tons of other things.
Stop playing with your food in front of the Old Town Hall
Pražský orloj (Prague Astronomical Clock) on the Old Town Hall.
It's the third oldest astronomical clock in the world. But, it's the only one still functioning. And it attracts a crowd.
Throngs of people in Old Town Square around Pomník mistra Jana Husa (Memorial to Jan Hus). He was a Czech hero that fought for religious reforms and Czech independence. He was eventually burned at the stake for his beliefs.
Chrám svatého Mikuláše (St. Nicholas Church) opened as a Catholic church and is currently a Hussite church after Jan Hus (the man from the monument above)
Národní galerie v Praze - Palác Kinských (National Gallery in Prague at Kinský Palace) houses the Asian Collection
týn Chrám Matky Boží před Týnem (Church of our Lady before týn) replaced a previous church on the site starting construction in the 14th century and nearing completion in the 15th century. The tower to the right was finished in 1511. The entrance of the church is only accessible by walking a narrow passage in the building in front of it.
All the spires are so interesting.
Štupartská Street
Megan in thoughtful contemplation at the Grand Cafe Orient
On the second floor of the Cubist House of the Black Madonna on Celetná street, it's a relaxing early 20th century cafe with large tables and good coffee.
Stavovské divadlo (Prage Estates Theatre) - Mozart premiered Don Giovanni here. All the truck and vans are for the movie set. They were taking car of the stunt vehicles.
Prašná brána (The Powder Tower) is one of the original 13 towers to the city gate. Constructed in 1475, it was designed to be an attractive entrance to the city instead of defensive purposes. Although, in the 1600s it was used to store gunpowder.
Obecní dům (Municipal House) is an amazing Art Nouveau building full of Czech pride.
Václavské náměstí (Wenceslas Square) is the center of New Town. And "New Town" was founded in the 14th Century. The square started as a horse market and today is sells lots of fancy clothes.
St. Wenceslas overlooking his square
Sex Machines Museum - Dedicated to erotic tools dating back to the 16th century, not James Brown...

With our final moments in Europe, Megan and I raced over to the Letenská pláň (park) for one last view of Prague and the Vltava before boarding our plane back home.
Metronome kinetic sculpture at Letenská pláň (park).
It's mesmerizing watching it swing back and forth

The lobby of our hotel has a Rolls-Royce dealership. And no, they don't have Grey Poupon...
Saying goodbye to Prague and Europe from the Vaclav Havel Airport Prague
We're sad we have to go.
Look what we discovered at the Munich Airport: NAPCABS! They are little sleeping chambers with beds, privacy, and quiet.
Looking out our Lufthansa flight there was another passenger jet flying very close. Closer than any other plane I've seen in the air. And they passed us pretty quickly.

This is the 3rd guest post by RU senior Melanie Blume, a SUST major who is interning with conservation and education staff at the Spring Valley Nature Center and the Volkening Heritage Farm near Roosevelt's campus in Schaumburg IL. These excellent facilities are part of the 135-acre Spring Valley Conservation Area, the largest and most ecologically significant green space with the Village of Schaumburg limits, and are managed by the Schaumburg Park District.
During the Spring 2015 semester, Melanie reflects on her work at Spring Valley on prairie conservation, seed propagation, invasive species identification and removal at the Nature Center; as well as on garden preparation, planting of their extensive vegetable garden, and contributing to Farm to Table programs with a focus on local food production at the Volkening Farm.
Last Tuesday at the Volkening Heritage Farm, Monique Inglot (Program Assistant at the Farm) and I began the wine making process from their grape harvest two seasons ago. These grapes were frozen and put into three huge garbage bags, well preserved for future squashing, fermenting, and straining.
First, we separated the stems from the grapes. Not because of taste, but just so the big stems wouldn't get in the way of getting the juices out. Grapes, especially the Concord variety we used, naturally have yeast in their skins and stems. Because they were frozen for two years, much of the yeast probably died, so we added some yeast packets to make up for that. The grapes were frozen and after ten minutes of picking them my hands were icy.
We had a nice intermission and made some hot cocoa that hit the spot. The grapes needed to thaw out for a few hours before juicing them. Monique used metal strainers to work out the juices and eventually the pulp and skins all floated to the top. That luscious mixture sat for almost a week for its first fermentation.
When I came in the farmhouse on the following Tuesday I was overwhelmed by the distinct smell of red wine. I followed it around to the room where the grapes were fermenting. The two bins of purple mush looked beautiful! We strained out the liquid from the remaining pulp and put the resulting pinkish liquid through a sheet of cheesecloth. This part took surprisingly long as the cheesecloth got clogged and we had to work the liquid through it with ladles. Quality crafts take time.
After that process we funneled the juice into two glass carboys. It looked so alive with its bubbling surface. This was the second fermenting process, and the plugs we put on top of the carboys have tiny holes and a water compartment where the gas is released. Monique told me of a time when she was making beer and bottled it before it was done releasing the gases and ended up exploding in their glass containers. So once the contraptions on top stop bubbling, we can safely bottle the wine. We dumped the seeds, skins, and stems into the woods and buried it a bit with the snow and branches. It will be a sweet treat for the wild animals.
After one week in the glass carboys, the wine is still bubbling ever so slightly.

David Roberston Author Study
David is an Aboriginal author living and working in Winnipeg, Manitoba so it is awesome to be able to feature material that is locally relevant. His graphic novels feature intense plot lines and provide an engaging platform for students (especially those who struggle or dislike reading traditional forms of text). David's work includes:
- The Seven Generations Series
- Stone
- Scars
- Ends/Begins
- The Pact
- The Life of Helen Betty Osborne
- Sugar Falls
In addition to a written report I also created this display (see above). For this author study, I created two webs showcasing the curriculum connections (top of the board) as well as some of David's influences (bottom of the board). I also included an iPad to display the Teacher's Guide for his Seven Generations Series which is extremely detailed and provides a lot of great ideas for the classroom! I also have an example of a lesson plan that includes David's work that I will attach on the far right-hand side.
If you have an opportunity to include David's work in your classroom I would definitely recommend it! If you would like to get your own copy of his work, it can be purchased through Portage and Main Press. To learn more about David Robertson and his work:
- Follow his blog, David Alexander Robertson
- Like his Facebook page, Seven Generations Fan Page
- Watch his book trailers on YouTube

Wow! I just checked out your online portfolio and I'm so impressed. I'm definitely bookmarking it! Although I don't have a use for it now, I'm sure it will come in handy later on. I've actually checked out his Helen Betty Osbourne graphic novel and loved it. I'm glad you included a list of his other books too - they all look great :)ReplyDelete
I love your display for this project! It is very evident that you put a lot of work into it and it is very easy to follow and informative! I like that you included the "Teacher's Guide" on the Ipad, and I will definatly be checking this out! Thanks for posting!ReplyDelete
I came across your blog thanks to the High School Herd blog roll, and I'm so glad I did! I'm a student teacher too (and also your newest follower!), so it's nice to be able to read posts from someone else in the same place professionally. Right now I'm in a tenth grade Language Arts classroom, moving to a middle school classroom in March -- and then graduating in May! I look forward to reading more of your posts and hopefully sharing ideas!

We start our final placements in March and then graduate in May as well :)Delete
So glad we found each other!

And so it's all come down to this; the nominees for PS3 Attitude's 'PS3 Game of the Year 2013'!
Although 2012 was a relatively quiet year for big releases, it still gave us plenty to play. From blockbuster retail titles to independent downloadable games, they're all represented below.
This year's nominations for PS3 GAME OF THE YEAR are…
2012 has had its fair share of ups and downs within the gaming community, and since the world didn't end last week, we're picking our favorites out of the year. Stefhutch20 kicked things off yesterday with a tribute to his favorite release, Final Fantasy XIII-2.
While there have been some strong contenders for my personal choice for Game of the Year such as Journey or Borderlands 2, none have impressed me more than Spec Ops: The Line. From its immersive story to its strong gameplay, Spec Ops: The Line has left a lasting impression on me, enough that it has claimed my pick for Game of the Year.
Five PSOne titles have recently been rated by the ESRB, the entertainment rating board for North America, and two of them certainly stand out.
Metal Gear Solid and Resident Evil: Director's Cut have been reviewed by the group for release on the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Portable.

Third Party WP Rapid Ranker Review
WP Rapid Ranker Overview
One of the many struggles that online marketers are facing right now, is getting that coveted page one in the rankings in google, and getting better traffic and conversions as well. Some marketers work pretty hard and get so little, and most of them are actually missing out on traffic and profits as well.
The goal of every online marketer is to get great rankings and of course more sales at the same time. Some website owners does to even know what they are actually missing out, and does really know why their website is not getting better traffic and better sales as well.
Some focus on keywords and backlinks, but there are more reasons why it does not really happen, though keywords and backlinks are also extremely important, they don't actually have all the reasons why you are not getting the traffic and sales that you really want.
Almost all websites or 99 per cent of the sites are actually missing out one essential step to success, and it is actually your site's loading speed. This is actually a problem that is very easy to fix.
It is important that online marketers know that google loves speed, and they actually give ranking advantages to pages that actually load faster than any sites.
Always remember that your visitors would not want to wait, they have better things to do. The goal is to never let the visitors hit the back button.
WP Rapid Ranker Support
Sometimes it doesn't really matter how fantastic the products can be, or the content is, if in the first place it does not rank pretty well because it is loading very slow. Professional looks of the site won't help as well because it won't be seen fast because it still loads pretty slow.
Slow loading page will definitely kill your traffic in no time. Every second delay that your site is having is a loss in sales. Amazon alone has 7 per cent less in sales every second of loading is delayed. That is actually loads amount of money lost because of the delayed loading capacity of the website.
The simple plug in called the Rapid ranker will actually make loading turbo charged. Your SEO for the first page of google rankings will actually become clearer as your sales will increase by over 16,000 US dollars every single year.
All you really have to do is to install the Rapid Ranker at an affordable cost. You can also install the Rapid Ranker on all your wordPress sites. You can also install it in your client's website as well without any restrictions at all.
You can even sell your website to any merchant with the plug in already installed in it.
WP Rapid Ranker Pros
It is definitely real that it has been such a trend when websites almost always lose traffic because of the delay in the loading of the site. It is also very true that Google has always been making it clear that it loves faster loading sites, and it is actually making better rankings in the search engines as well.
The plug in gives a great boost for your site in order for it to load faster, and work flawlessly as well. The plug in can literally speed up your speed in just less than 3 minutes. This actually gives you the edge amongst all the other competing sites.
It does not even need technical expertise in order to make it run better, and according to the promotion, you can now start reaping already after 3 minutes. There are also several case studies that definitely would prove that the plug in works pretty well.
You can literally see real world conversion gains and an increase in the loading speed. Aside from that, you can also install the plug in on all of your own WordPress sites, and you can even make pretty good sales, and sell your website to merchants with the Rapid Ranker already installed in it.
WP Rapid Ranker Cons
There are still several ways to increase the speed of the website aside from spending for a plug in.
The cost is pretty much affordable as you can actually install it to as many sites as you want, and you can even create and sell websites with it already installed in the site, making the website much more saleable.
Technical skills are also not a problem when it comes to installing the plug in, making it easier for anyone who does not have any technical skills at all. You can have the plug in running in less than 3 minutes.
A trial version would also be a lot of help for those people who would want to have it tried before buying the whole plug in, this can make the other website owners decide better.

text: A somewhat interesting debate has erupted in my local area over the 1st Amendment right to free speech versus the right of a city to prohibit the distribution of adhesive-backed materials for the purpose of the prevention of sticker graffiti. Link So... is it unreasonable of a city to ban all adhesive-backed material from being freely distributed (note they aren't banning the SALE of stickers, just the free ones) in places where sticker graffiti has been an issue, or is it a violations of your free speech rights? (And try for a moment to imagine this with the situation reversed if you are on the left, let's stay out of the politics of this matter for a bit. I know it will get there eventually, but I'm more interested in the infringment on 1st amendment rights issue than the fact that the GOP is upset.)

The artist-led group known as MOCA Mobilization is back.
The group, founded in 2008 by artists Cindy Bernard and Diana Thater, has posted online a petition calling for specific changes at the Museum of Contemporary Art, following a round of controversial layoffs and the resignations of all four artists on the board of trustees.
The petition, posted on Facebook and change.org with a goal of 1,500 signatures, calls for the museum to reverse its plans and fill its chief curator position, which has been vacant since the departure of Paul Schimmel.
It also asks the institution to bring new artists onto its board to replace those who have resigned. The group is not calling for any board or staff resignations.

Now that you've survived Thanksgiving dinner and Black Friday, why not take a little time for yourself, especially if you have vacation days to burn before Dec. 31? It's the perfect time for a spa getaway. We found eight hotels with great spas that are extremely affordable (even at the most expensive hotel, rooms start at $125/night*) and rated highly by TripAdvisor travelers.
*Prices taken from TripAdvisor.com on Nov. 19, 2012.
The word "paradise" comes up very frequently in TripAdvisor reviews of DoceLunas. "From the moment we arrived … my girlfriend and I were in paradise," wrote one reviewer; another called DoceLunas "a hidden paradise in Jaco Beach, much nicer than the other resorts in the area." Many TripAdvisor travelers praised the free yoga classes, beautiful grounds and huge rooms. And one traveler who visited last year wrote, "We traveled just before Christmas, and the hotel was nearly empty."
The St. Moritz, a family-friendly hotel in Cornwall, has a small but excellent spa. "I treated myself to a well-deserved full body massage, and I still feel like I'm walking on air," wrote one guest. And while treatments use top-shelf products from the Cowshed line, one TripAdvisor reviewer said the aestheticians "are lovely, friendly and informative about products without forcing you to buy them" -- a rarity at a spa. "It managed to surpass expectations on every front," wrote another traveler.
"As you enter … you get a 'secret hideaway' feel," wrote a TripAdvisor traveler who had a great stay at Andreas Hotel and Spa in Palm Springs. Spa treatments get very high marks from reviewers, who particularly recommend massages, mineral jacuzzi baths and reflexology. As another traveler wrote, it's the perfect place for "a romantic weekend or special celebration."
"This is a beautiful property, very quiet, serene and peaceful," wrote one TripAdvisor traveler. Small luxurious touches abound -- including a scent menu. "Your room is scented each time it is cleaned, and it's so nice," wrote another. The hotel spa gets high marks as well. "My wife and I both had the 80-minute massage plus 25-minute facial -- bliss!" wrote one happy traveler.
Yoga devotees will have a blast at Horizon Ocean View Hotel and Yoga Center in Costa Rica. "All of the teachers were spot-on, super helpful and the classes were challenging," wrote one happy TripAdvisor traveler. Another said, "Even as novice yoga participants, we felt welcome and thoroughly enjoyed it." After yoga, try a tahini and pineapple shake in the café, or just enjoy "hanging out in the hammocks on the porches."
Living Waters Spa in Desert Hot Springs is a clothing-optional resort -- which, obviously, is not everyone's definition of a relaxing getaway. But one TripAdvisor reviewer wrote, "This is a great place to try it out, as it is a first-rate retreat where you will feel safe, respected and welcomed." Judging from Living Waters' TripAdvisor reviews, many, many guests are repeat customers.
"You get the 'spa treatment' here 24/7. For example, we came down late to breakfast one day, and they insisted on setting all the food back up, just for us," wrote one TripAdvisor traveler. Another said, "Nothing is hurried. The emphasis is on soaking in the spa's numerous pools fed from the hot springs, one of which is outside. Massages are popular, too."
For an exotic getaway at a truly incredible price (rooms start at $54/night!), head to the Best Western Museum Spa Wellness Hotel in Santorini. TripAdvisor travelers call the hotel "private, tranquil and serene" and say the hotel spa offers amazing services. "I had some wonderful facial and therapeutic reflexology treatments while my husband enjoyed the traditional massages. After a hot day at the beach it was very nice to relax in the caring hands of the very well trained therapists," wrote one traveler.

Changing tires by hand can be a long and boring. There is also a greater chance of error as a machine puts the tire accurately and uses more power. There are many tire changing machines out there to meet the needs of everyone, whether you're a small business or company in the world. There is also the consideration of the type you will change tires for vehicles.
Basically, a tire lever holds the rim of the wheel and remove the outside of the tire. This allows the tube to replace or reopened. It also puts the rear tire on the rim with ease. Very often, the wheel can be balanced simultaneously.
The type of machine you need to change tires depends on usage and budget. A small garage might just have a budget Megamount. There are also machines available for bicycles if you are cycling specialist based. The garage must compare the amount they spend on the machine against the working time they normally spend tire changing hand.
Tyre changers is essential if you need to change the racing vehicles. They allow room to fit oversized chassis with a robotic arm to finish the job. Some machines are even completely automated using air tools to change the tire. If it saves time, it is certainly a worthwhile investment. This is obviously useful for alloy wheels as well. Alloys cost as much money as you do not want any risk of damage to the alloy. It is very difficult to change an alloy hand a tire lever is almost indispensable.

Black screen/vertical line freeze!
yesterday, when my l4d2 did not work (black screen/vertical line freeze) for the first time, i posted in the l4d2 forums Vertical line freeze? (whole system crashes) - Steam Users' Forums but the problem is different now.
It used to be that whenever i played the game for ~5-10 minutes, it froze and i would do a hard reset. Then i updated my drivers to Today's released catalyst 11.1. it still wouldnt work!
so i forgot about teh game and i was watching a youtube video but it seems that the problem has branched out of the game and into the os. In the middle of the youtube video, the freeze happens.
I restarted and opened firefox but i forgot about my youtube tab so it froze again but this time it froze immediately when the page loaded.
now i downgraded back to 10.12 drivers and installed directx 11. i tried dusting out the fan and doing many other things as stated in the other l4d2 thread but it doesnt work!!
help ? i'm out of warranty.
i have an HP laptop dv6-2044ca with ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4200.
i read on the amd site that someone with the same problem updated his network drivers because it conflicted with his audio drivers and then it worked for him. FOr me, my network drivers are already updated and the thing is, this problem happened randomly!
Before i had this freezing problem, i did a presentation of an ISU and i put my laptop beside a projector which emiitted great heat. when i was done, the laptop was very hot (screen/fan hole area). could this be the cause that ruined my whole computer?
should i try a restore point to 1/25/11 2am?
when i presented it was 1/25/11 1pm (from the until now, ive tried various fixes which made things worse)
|My System Specs
|28 Jan 2011
Well, yes, heat kills hardware. However, if that projector had been so hot, your laptop would have at least restarted, if not turned off, in order to save itself from potential damage from the heat.
There are some programs for monitoring your laptop temperatures, you can use them to check if the problem occurs because of overheating (SpeedFan and Core Temp).
If the problem has something to do with your drivers and the restore point is before you have updated for example your Display Driver, then you could first try running in safe mode and see if the problem still occurs. If no, restore your system, it won't delete any files, it will only return your registry and drivers to earlier state.
That you are out of warranty shouldn't stop you from taking your laptop for diagnostics. You will have to have money of course, but at least they will fix the problem ; )
|My System Specs
|28 Jan 2011
Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit
I had a similar problem when playing L4D2.I ended up deleting the game and reinstalling it and problem went away for me. Since your's has branched out like you stated, have you checked your system for any malware, spyware, adware and virus's. Sometimes a bug can corrupt some system files and can just play havoc with ones system. I would start there first. To the second part, Heat can most certainly damage a system like nekov4ego said. It's the biggest enemy of laptop bar none. The only way to determine that is to get your laptop checked out, throughly and by a professional. It's no different with a cars engine, you want to take some where trustworthy.
|My System Specs
|30 Jan 2011
professionals will fix the problem, but with HP's price of $400 on repairing this integrated card/laptop mobo, it's better to invest in a better computer in the future. (with a dedicated card now)
plus i heard laptop mobos are pretttty expensive.. : |
haha i thought of uninstalling l4d2 but i didnt want to because i thought this was a temporary error and i didnt have the bandwidth to download 10 GB.
i think i did run a virus scan, but i forgot since it was many days ago. now my computer screen won't turn on. but i know it's not the screen's problem because luckily as i was pressing FN + F4 after taking out the battery, the screen magically turned on for some reason. now the screen's back to not turning on at all although all the other LEDs work (such as caps lock, num lock, HP logo light, volume, wireless, mute button)
thisis really weird
i am sending it to a local tech business for diagnostic but i doubt id take their offer for repair (because of price and parts theyll use) maybe
|My System Specs
|30 Jan 2011
Are you completely sure they want $400 to repair your laptop? If yes, then you are totally right -- it's not worth the money. You could build an upgradeable desktop PC, and later do a part-by-part upgrade, for about 500 bucks, so...

yeah i called HP lol. they said it included the fan/mobo/gfx card with shipping and 90 days of warranty....

text: Tapirus – a mystical creature arises where the mountains meet under the misty moonlight. Having endured through uncertain, deep, and dark times over the ages, TAPIRUS emerges renewed and rejuvenated, as a stronger definition of his former self. He conjures with a powerful force fantastical creations from the depths of his being. On the one hand, tough with a bite – to reflect the rough, acidic terrains he had to traverse and overcome to arrive at the here and now. On the other hand, ethereal, of flight and fantasy, representing the transcending of character that was necessary to take place. His deeply musical and sophisticated manifestations speak of transformation and elevation. If you ever chance upon an encounter with the mystical Tapirus, hold still, hush and listen to his stories.

[tweetmeme source="elizabethev" only_single=false]Remember when we were in middle school and we'd plan coordinating outfits with our besties? Reebok took the guesswork out of matchy-matchy for me and six other FitFluential ambassadors running the Canton Road Race at Reebok World Headquarters this morning. We had no trouble finding one another in our fresh aubergine (purple, for those who don't speak color wheel) tops and black crops, provided along with our race entries by Reebok.
I can't tell you how many compliments we got on those short sleeve tech tops. I kept wanting to say, "Thanks, but um… I had nothing to do with this!" We were even stopped by a woman who had worked on designing the tees. I thought that was pretty cool. I met up with Tina and Sarah just as the rain was starting, about an hour before the race began. We ducked beneath an overhang with Robin, Katie, Mattie and Kelly to wait out the passing showers before heading to the starting line. While hiding out, Tina and I had an impromptu Team in Training reunion with our Southie chapter teammates, Amy and Bryan. If only
Ben Nick and Mal had been there to join our group hug…
The race started and ended on Reebok's campus, and wound through some very scenic (and hilly!) Canton neighborhoods. The final stretch on Washington Street brought us past the Trailside Museum (a childhood favorite of mine) at the foot of the Blue Hills. A highlight of the race was definitely having my name called by the announcer as I crossed the finish line (nerd alert!). The course was challenging and well marked, and the organizers did a fantastic job. We had our results emailed to us long before we left campus, which was a bonus– something I've not seen at past races. After cooling down, Tina and I took advantage of the 25% discount being offered at the Reebok corporate store. I'd had my eye on this CrossFit warm-up for a bit, and picked up that as well as a few teeshirts.
While I could have spend hours (and hundreds) shopping, my favorite thing about visiting Reebok World Headquarters is the inspiring atmosphere. Their mission as a brand, Empower People to be Fit for Life, seems to be carried out not only by their employees– we were surrounded by a sea of red "Team Reebok" shirts during the race– but also in the facilities themselves and inspiring messaging posted throughout campus. It's clear that fitness is a key element of their work culture.
I can't help but think of my own work environment, which as the bo$$ (if I could spell that with cent symbols, it would be more accurate), I've largely created. I've spent years working through lunch, veritably tied to my desk, feeling creaky and cranky by the time six o'clock rolls around. Lately, we've made a concerted effort to take "wellness walks" (that's how I saw the trapped skunk, obvi) and balance work and life a bit better. I am sure I can be doing even more, and this morning's trip to Reebok was a great reminder of that.
Perhaps it's time to close the office door and dust off the yoga mat tucked behind my file cabinet thing.

I like the incase travel case, but that isn't sold in the UK (apart from on eBay or other online retailers) and you can't fit the iPad in whilst it's in the Apple case. It's a quite a big ask, but has anyone found a solution to this? Even if it's not an official iPad case, but something that works? I don't often carry the keyboard - only when I'm away for a few days for work and need to do heavy doc editing in the evenings in my hotel, so would like to be able to keep the iPad in the Apple case. Thanks for your help
