3500 Series
Super Sonic
The 3500s are some of our most sonically accurate sub-drivers. This accuracy comes from a low moving mass, ultra-high energy design that uses a crazy strong motor combined with long gap/long coil topology, that you'll find on our legendary 9500 and 9900 subwoofers. Like their big brothers, the 3500 Series subs come with V-ROM surrounds, multi-layer spiders, 800-degree thermoset voice coils, and cast aluminum frames. All of these features combine to make the 3500 Series a brutally musical addition to our USA built lineup.
The 3500 Series features our Evolution Subwoofer Package (ESP). ESP equipped drivers sport a deeper frame than standard subs and an exclusive surround and cone designs. ESP subs are truly built to maximize performance in their designated size class.
The 3500 Series comes standard with an oversized dry finish black composite dust cap, red logo, and treated pulp cone, but it can be optioned out with alternative composite dust caps, composite cones, powder coated frames, supercharging, and a multitude of logo options to give your sub a personalized look and/or added performance for a specific application.

The surround uses our EROM( Extended Range Of Motion) profile, copied en masse to become an industry wide standard. The EROM design gives long, controlled excursion while keeping the cone diameter as large as possible. This profile also saves mass over the sculpted rubber surrounds and inner tube style surrounds, less mass is louder and faster.
The EROM profile, nearly parallel walls with a half-round top, is more self-supporting than the wide half-roll type surrounds. This enables the surround to become part of the suspension compliance, helping to control the high forces of the accelerating moving mass and enabling the coil to better track incoming signal.
The DD EROM profile innovation allows for more cone area, lower mass and increased stiffness. It's no wonder than the DD EROM has become the most copied surround in the world.
The cone is our multi-fiber synthetic blend, the type of construction used in the highest power handling concert drivers, not punched out from bleach bottle plastic. These special cones are designed for the highest strength with the lowest weight, again, lighter is louder and faster.
We start with ultra-light weight synthetic fibers which are cut to varying lengths. These fibers are combined and mixed with high binding strength natural fibers and aerospace grade resins. High tensile binding increases the bond strength at the points where the fibers become interlocked.
The fibers are shot at the cone molds in angles which re-enforce the cone body perpendicular to the direction of the voice coil forces. This increases the resistance to bending modes at high power levels.
These high-tech fibers have incredible strength and are further enhanced by using techniques to increase the cone cross section area without adding additional mass. The resin used creates a hard outer skin on the cone surfaces, creating a sandwich construction format. One skin cannot bend without the other skin doing the same, the further these skins are moved apart, the higher the resistance to mutual bending becomes. The ratio of increased strength is exponential, twice the thickness results in 4 times more rigidity. The newest DD synthetic blend cones are state of the art in cone technology and an integral reason why our speakers can supply high SPL and low distortion.
The DD multi-spider suspensions start with layers of fine weave cloth impregnated with thermal activated resin. These fine cloth sheets are then placed together with the weave grain at opposite angles, equalizing the inherent tension and increasing the strength. The layers are formed by heat and pressure until cured in molds with very high peaks and valleys. The two layers of fine cloth are far stronger than a single layer of heavier cloth, the higher surface area of the fine weave cloth gives more contact area for the resin. The high peaks and valleys, or corrugations, dramatically increase the strength over wide, shallow, progressive type rolls.
Two layers of laminated cloth are also more resistant to bending than a single layer. The layers are forced to bend along different section of their respective weaves, making the combined structure stronger and more resistant to fatigue.
We then take these laminated layers and combine them for a given compliance target, most DD speakers will have 4 – 6 layers of cloth in the suspension.
These multiple layers of cloth formed in deep corrugations keep their inherent strength once the resin breaks down. The DD suspension retains restoring force to the cone after years and years of use. It does cost more to build mult-layered suspensions, but the benefits are many and long lasting.
Another DD innovation was eliminating lead wire noise, breakage and suspension offset distortions with the introduction of our Laminated Lead Wire System. We pioneered this development as increased speaker excursion exceeded the limits that stretched tinsel jumping across the frame to cone gap could accommodate. The longer lead lengths cause excessive slapping against the cone as well as setting up oscillation modes that fatigued the wire.
The Laminated Lead Wire System placed the tinsel leads between layers of the spiders, eliminating hanging wires to clang around between the spider and cone. The spiders and lead wires become an integral unit with the corrugations of the spiders engineered for the excursion demand of the speaker.
Traditional hanging lead wires place weight and tension on one side of the cone, causing harmonic distortion. The DD system places the wires across the entire spider thereby balancing the weight and tension on each side of the speaker.
The DD system also allows for efficient handling of high current demand applications. Some DD woofers use 8 lead wires for every voice coil conductor, allowing even the most high power amplifiers to transfer power with minimal signal loss.
This motor system also utilizes the DD exclusive FREE FLOW COOLING SYSTEM; separate cooling vents machined into the voice coil, top plate and pole piece which focus cooling air into the magnetic gap. This high-tech, precision machined cooling system actually lowers the working temperature of the voice coil, thereby lowering the stress on the entire audio system. The more the speaker moves, the more air is pumped onto the coil wire.
The dustcap and spiders of a speaker create changes in air pressure as the cone system moves up and down in accordance with the input signal, and the amount of movement is proportional to the amount of input signal.
The dustcap is used to push cooling air down through the pole piece. The pole piece has cross ventilation passages machined from the center vent to the outside of the pole piece, with rows vent holes at the top and bottom of the pole. Cooling air is pumped directly onto the aluminum former as well as drawing heated air out of the magnet cavity.
The spiders are used as forced air pumps o channel air through vents machined into the top plate inner diameter. These vents move cooling air directly to the voice coil wire. Additional vents are machined from the top plate inner dimension to the outside of the top plate and work in conjunction with vents tooled into the speaker baskets.
The voice coils are also part of the Free Flow Cooling System with rows of cooling vents located above the coil windings, below the coil windings and at the top of the former in the dustcap cavity. Cooling air is pumped through these rows of holes to move heat away from the wire; as close as possible to the source of heat.
The motor's backplate features precision drilled vents in the coil gap for increased voice coil heat dissipation.
DD cast baskets are custom designed for strength, stability, and precision. Using cast aluminum allows for added heat dissipation properties as well as high rigidity and low resonance. All these qualities combined, result in a basket that supports powerful high excursion designs.
We developed the most electrically efficient connections, the Direct Connect, one of the latest DD innovations now being copied the world over. First off, our multiple tinsel leads are twisted and soldered to copper power wire at the edge of the speaker frame. This twisted and soldered connection reduces any signal lost to an absolute minimum.
Our 10 gauge power cable is made from Oxygen-Free copper. Copper provides perfect contact in contrast to speaker terminals or push-down spring connections which are made from low grade metal. Many of these "pretty" (but poorly made) terminals have 0.1-0.2 Ohms of resistance in just the terminal housing. If you don't believe us, unscrew one and watch it stick to the speaker magnet.
Another flaw of common speaker terminals is the inability to match up with large gauge speaker wire…And if one is able to find a terminal large enough to accept large gauge wire, it is still made from cheap metal thus the signal loss problem. Our 10 gauge power wire Direct Connects can be twisted (the best mechanical connection possible) with any gauge wire, AND also be connected with ANY number of wires. Series and parallel connections can be done in any combination and WITHOUT signal loss.
DD suggests the use of wire nuts for direct wire to wire terminations. Twisted wire connections are the only code approved termination in building codes due to the no loss transfer ability and permanently held connection. These same wire nut terminals are the perfect connection for mobile audio connections.
Direct Connect allows virtually any gauge and number of speaker wires to be connected without signal loss.

Religion in MMOs: Proposal of an Experiment
Here's an experiment idea:
It's common in RPGs to have some sort of religion system, generally with a multitude of deities which are more-or-less at peace with one another, and whose followers typically do not try to murder each other at the first opportunity. Sometimes, you can offer donations to churches to get some bonuses, to karma or luck or whichever is applicable. Knowing the right time to pray is even a key gameplay element in Nethack.
This sort of behavior is, of course, also observed in the real world – people will often pray and make donations seeking to get something in exchange. The difference is that, in the game world, they actually get something out of it. But they don't have to.
Consider an MMORPG with a religion system (whether it's monotheistic or polytheistic is not important), and a series of temples spread around the world. Players can visit those temples, and consult a list of services that the temple can perform, along with their costs. Perhaps a player can get a 5% extra to-hit bonus for a donation of 100 gold. For 500 gold, he will get a +5% bonus chance to find rare items… Or so the temple claims. The player spends his hard-earned coin, and the game says something along the lines of "you feel lucky". And nothing changes.
How many people would believe that? Would anyone conduct a systematic, scientific in-game research to evaluate how much of a difference said donations would provide? Even if some "skeptic" told other players that it's a hoax, would they believe it? Perhaps they've donated once, and found a very rare item afterwards. Their minds would be making connections. What if this "truth" is spread in forums, FAQs and wikis… perhaps in the game manual itself? After months investing money in those things, wouldn't the player feel even more compelled to believe that he wasn't being cheated all along?
The idea could be developed further and let players take on the role of priests, although a mechanic would have to be designed to allow them to mess with the system without easily exposing its truth. For example, perhaps there's a holy book defining how those bonuses work, in a cryptic (and possibly self-contradicting way) and leave it to the priests to interpret it and write the list of services. Temples that offered so much that it was visible that it didn't work would lost trust, and temples that offered too little wouldn't be able to compete. Some form of selection would eventually choose the best religion.
To my knowledge, no game has ever implemented such a system (if you know of one, please mention it on the comments). If it works as intended, analysis of player's reactions to the system (and to the discovery that it was all their imaginations, if the developers ever decided to Word of God (pun unintended) it) could be very enlightening. Would that change how they perceive religion in the real world? Would such a study have any impact on understanding the psychology of belief? Perhaps not. But, if nothing else, it would be an interesting topic to bring up in a religion discussion.

Strong roots, strong growth
As part of its 40th Anniversary celebration, the Cree School Board planted a tree outside its school in Eastmain this week as a symbol of the growth and hope that are expected in Cree education in the coming 40 years.
"We may not be here," said Director General Abraham Jolly, "but this tree will be, and it will stand for the strong roots we built in our first 40 years, as well as the promise of student success in the next 40."
About 100 people attended the planting June 5, which was integrated into the Regional General Assembly program, and included students and staff from the school as well as Ministry delegates, Grand Chief Abel Bosum, chiefs from other communities, and other special guests.
The tree is a balsam poplar, which is not just recommended as a hardy variety for the area, but is also closely related to the newly emerging philosophy of Cree education, developed in the past three years through working groups tasked with defining the central core of a Cree education system. That philosophy will be held within a new Cree Education Act.
"Our first 40 years, from the signing of the James Bay Northern Quebec Agreement to now, have been spent building foundations: building, systems, a curriculum, and exploring what it means to be educated in Eeyou/Eenou Istchee," Jolly said. "Our next 40 years must focus on education itself. What will that look like? How will we prepare our students for success? We must, because the future of the Cree Nation depends on it."
The tree planting was one of a number of activities the board undertook this week during its Regional General Assembly in Eastmain. Other include the release of a commemorative brochure "Listening to our past, Speaking to our future," a feast and traditional square-dancing display, and a new school board logo. The tree planting will be duplicated in each community on June 21, 2018.

I am new to radiation oncology and would like to get some opinions on how you are billing the code 77427? The system that was put in place prior to my working in this facility is that it is automatically dropped after the 5th fraction and billed on that date. There is no "through" date. From what I have read about this code, we should have a "global" like period of dates (e.g. from 1/1/2016 to 1/5/2016 and there should be 5 units for these dates of service as long as 5 fractions were done on each day.) Is this correct?
Thanks for any input on this!

Shake Up Your Warm-Up
A dance-inspired warm-up can be a tremendous boost to any class format.
Warm-ups can be boring and are often overlooked because we can hardly wait to teach that brand-new combination or hot new move! But with a little time and
effort, a really good warm-up can create amazing energy and set the tone for the rest of class. So how do you take something that seems so mundane and add a little soul and spice to it? Why not add some hip-shaking, finger-snapping, shoulder-shimmying movement to your next warm-up and get your students fired up from the very first beat?
Before we begin, let's remember what the warm-up is intended to do—prepare the body to move. It's also an opportunity to become present and connect with your body. If you've ever taken a class from a dance studio, you know the warm-up is very thorough, sometimes lasting 20 minutes or more. Dancers know that a proper warm-up can prevent injury and allow them to dance with full range of motion and extension. Sounds like a good idea, right? Let's look at a really fun, dynamic warm-up that incorporates the element of dance and can be used in almost any situation.
Get your students moving with simple movements and really good music.
- Stand with legs apart and roll shoulders back.
- Reach up and out to sides; repeat before starting over with shoulders rolls.
- Repeat series at least 4 times.
- Next, alternate side-to-side reaches in big, graceful sweeping motions (intention is to "lengthen" the muscles).
- After 4 alternating reaches, shake hips side to side for 4 counts and then walk to one side on counts 5, 6, 7 and 8 (depending on your participants, you can really shake those hips or do more of an athletic-jog stance).
- Step out to opposite side and repeat going the other way (that's one block).
- Repeat pattern at least 4 times and have fun!
and Attitude
Now that you've created some warmth in the body with big movements, bring it down and continue with "lengthening" exercises.
- Step out into wide second position with arms stretched out to sides.
- Lunge to one side, reach one arm up and across in direction you're reaching and then return to starting position.
- Repeat in opposite direction.
- Continue with this pattern a minimum of 4 times, twice each way.
- Once you've completed the last move, you'll be in second position with arms out to sides.
- Plié down with arms following and then up with arms extended above head. Repeat 8 times.
- Pull both arms down to one side and tap in with opposite leg. Tap out, tap in and return to start with arms extended above head.
- Repeat on opposite side and then once more each way for a total of 4 repetitions.
Once this sequence is complete, step-touch or march with attitude and keep the energy going right into class. This warm-up should take no longer than 8–10 minutes. While the movements are simple and not overly choreographed, they serve the desired goal, which is to create body awareness and a sense of fun.
To ensure that students are prepared for their workout, help them release the tension they came in with so they can move without stress or strain. Dance is everywhere you look these days, so why not draw students in by having them imagine they just stepped onto the set of Dancing With the Stars or So You Think You Can Dance? They'll have a good time, feel great and be totally ready for whatever you throw at them next!

That's not good. If you only have one road out of your neighborhood, move!
The videos below were taken Tuesday May 3rd, 2016. Most of the homes you see were burnt to the ground. I called the videos epic when there were118 views. There are now over 800,000 and I've seen the videos on CTV, CBC, NBC, CNN and the BBC. And now you can watch them here. You really should watch them in full screen (the bigger, the better), in 1080P. These are embedded and linked, not copies, so apologies if the poster has taken them down.
My blog is usually quite political, but remember that many families in Fort McMurray lost their homes (quite likely, including the poster of the videos).
Videos contain foul language.
Beacon Hill, Fort McMurray, Wood Buffalo, Alberta, Canada
Fort McMurray Fire 1 of 6 Front Dash Cam
Fort McMurray Fire 2 of 6 Fire Dash Cam
Here are the links for the other 4 videos of the epic Beacon Hill escape. See if you can spot the deers almost causing an accident in videos 3 and 4.
Remember, if you only have one road out of your neighborhood, move!
My income is way, way below the Canadian median wage. Yet I give hundreds of dollars to the Red Cross every year. It feels good to help (it is about 25% tax deductible, so don't be cheap).

Limassol Carnival!
The Limassol Carnival is one of the most popular festivals organised by the Municipality of Limassol in Cyprus. Each year, the associated events have an official start date on Shrove Thursday (19th Feb 2017), starting with the entrance of the Queen of the Carnival and ending with the Grand Parade (Sunday 26th February) and the official theme of the Limassol Carnival this year is "The Deep Blue of the Mediterranean".
This year's Carnival season was once again packed with many incredible events and opportunities to take some great photos for our Carnival Photography Competition. Members were encouraged to attend the events highlighted in our calendar as well as other events organised around the island. You can see some of our members in action during the Grand Parade below :)
If you would like to see photos taken by our members at the carnival, please click here.
We also held our very own Carnival Party on the 24th February at the Brittania Restaurant in Limassol for the second year running with over 70 people attending! During our party we also held a fancy dress (and best performance) competition which saw Katy Parks and Richard Sale swooping up first prize with "Gangster's Paradise".
We were also extremely honoured to have Erma Stylianides with us who was a former queen of the carnival!
Many thanks to Christos Mousikos for covering our party and providing the fantastic photographs! If you would like to view all the photos from this event, please click here.

Making lists is popular this time of year, whether it's for holiday shopping, a year-in-review list or the things you're pledging to do (or not do) in the new year.
Topping MoDOT's accomplishment list this year is a drop in highway fatalities for the fourth year in a row. The completion of I-64 and first-in-the-nation status aren't too shabby, either. Watch below to see MoDOT's "Top Ten" for 2009, and send your comments on what you'd like to see in 2010.

New Hampshire, Mount Washington, Huntington Ravine
On January 26, a novice climber (44) and his partner started up Odell Gully around 3:00 p.m. on Saturday afternoon. After completing the main ice climbing section, they traversed to the east to begin their descent. Neither had headlamps with them and darkness complicated their descent. According to the party, they were in the lower section of the Escape Hatch when one of them lost his footing and began a sliding fall. Unable to self-arrest, he slid approximately 150 feet before slamming into a tree and stopping. The fall resulted in injuries to his back and legs. The two were able to get to the Harvard Cabin under their own power where local guides and the caretaker provided assistance to the climber and notified the USFS Snow Rangers who arrived at the Harvard Cabin around 9:30 p.m. The patient was reassessed, immobilized on a backboard and transported via snowcat to Pinkham Notch where he was transferred to an ambulance and brought to the hospital. We later learned that he had fractured two vertebrae in his lower back and had numerous sprains and contusions
This was the third sliding fall injury in three days. All of them would likely have been prevented with a quick self-arrest. The surface that all of these occurred on was a very hard, icy snowpack from the January thaw, which is difficult to stop on, so if a fall isn't arrested immediately, one will get out of control fast.
In each of these incidents, the parties involved did a good job getting to the Harvard Cabin under their own power.

A couple years ago, Odopod made an awesome sketching application with Flash. They called it Odosketch. I guess, it's just called "Sketch" now, but it's mighty fun to play with.
One of the coolest features is the way it replays the drawings in its database, a la Painter circa 1998.

Homeschooling Pastor's Jail Sentence Overturned
In a surprising move on Friday, July 7, a Cuban appeals court reversed the one-year jail sentence imposed on Pastor Ramón Rigal for homeschooling his children.
The ruling came just weeks after President Donald Trump announced his new policy that better relations between the United States and Cuba would hinge on Cuba improving how it treated of its citizens. It did not overturn Ramón's actual conviction or his wife's sentence of one-year of house arrest, but it did ensure that Ramón will not serve any prison time.
This is a far better outcome than I had expected. Based on my understanding of how Cuba treats its dissidents, I was increasingly certain that Ramón was going to lose and go to jail. I was delighted to hear that the Cuban appeals court refused to impose this manifestly unjust punishment.
Ramón and his family have expressed their gratitude for the outpouring of support from others around the world. "I am very grateful to everyone who has been praying and especially to HSLDA. International opinion has been key in this victory. . . . My wife is relieved that I will not be locked up, but September will soon be here and the local authorities will surely try to force me to put my children in school."
Ramón originally pulled his children out of the Cuban public schools because they were being bullied and because he was seriously concerned by what the schools were teaching them. He tried repeatedly to work things out with local authorities, but they refused to listen. Ultimately Ramón and his wife, Adya, were arrested in February and sentenced in April.
HSLDA has been working to support the Rigal family and to help overturn this unjust sentence. We held a rally at the Cuban Embassy in May, and started a petition calling on Cuba to respect the pastor's right to homeschool his children. The petition generated over 30,000 signatures.
Ramón has expressed his firm commitment to continue the fight for freedom for his children and others to quietly educate their children at home in accordance with their convictions.
"I will continue to fight and not give in to their impositions and I will not take the children to school," he told me. "This fight must be continued until they let me educate my children quietly in my house or let me leave the country. They want to impose their injustice and how to make an example out of me so that others do not follow my example of homeschooling. If I am not allowed to homeschool here in Cuba, I wish the authorities would let me leave the country to go somewhere that I may."
HSLDA commends Ramón and Adya for their courage. We will continue to call on the Cuban government to allow its citizens to homeschool in keeping with its international human rights obligations. Not jailing Ramón surely qualifies as better treatment—but the regime should also acknowledge the Rigal family's right to homeschool their children.
Home education is the fastest growing form of education in the world because it is effective. Research shows that children who are homeschooled perform with excellence academically and socially. Home education is not a subversive threat to society and must be permitted by governments as an appropriate exercise of parental rights and a legitimate means for delivering an education to children.
Thank you to all of you who have already taken action on behalf of the Rigals. If you haven't signed our petition yet, we encourage you to do that today. You can also visit our page on the Rigals' case for updates on this story.

Welcome to my new blog, iLead2Serve. I've been looking for a way to communicate with the readers of our e-newsletter, Servant Leadership Today, and this is the perfect venue.
Most of you reading this blog have been subscribers to Servant Leadership Today. Don't worry the e-newsletter is not going away. In fact, going forward, SLT will become more informational. We have so much going on at the Center for Servant Leadership, and I want to make sure you are kept abreast of everything that's happening.
I have so many thoughts regarding servant leadership that I want to share them with you as they occur. I want you to feel my passion as I write and not wait a full month between posts. I will do my best to keep this blog updated as much as possible.
It's important for you to know that the views expressed in iLead2Serve are solely mine. I will do my best to inform you about all things pertaining to servant leadership and be as positive as possible. However, keep in mind, there will be times when my emotions may get the best of me. This usually occurs when I see, hear of, or experience poor leadership because it's something I simply cannot stand. With all the advantages we have, there really is no need or place for it in our society.
I also invite you to contribute your own thoughts by posting a comment or sending me an email. I really want to hear what's on your mind.
So, if you're interested, and I hope you are, feel free to log on daily and weekly to see what I'm thinking as it relates to servant leadership.

Museum Field Trips—My Favourite Could Be Yours! (Part 6)
This is the sixth in a series of articles from guest writer Stephen Berer focusing on literacies, fluencies, and projects for museums and classrooms. If you missed them, you can access the previous entries in the series here.
The US Holocaust Memorial Museum: Choices We Make—Part 3
In my previous article I outlined a project to discover the Faces of Resistance for students while visiting a Holocaust museum or an exhibit devoted to genocide or racial/ethnic injustice. Students would take on the identity of a victim, and through that lens create a video exploring the ways in which victimized people resisted their oppressors.
I have found that students really enjoy developing these kinds of projects. They provide a wide doorway of creative freedom while allowing students to customize their research to their personal interests. Students are encouraged to use the latest technologies, and showcase their visual and technical fluencies. Because they work in groups, these projects become a means of promoting peer to peer learning. They are also an effective way to create structured social settings to facilitate personal development. Students learn from each other; their learning is social and pleasurable, and it is usually not stressful. In sum, you have an easily implemented checklist for 21st century learning.
Ways to improve projects:
As a teacher/coach, there are many ways you can help your students perform at the peak of their abilities. Here are four suggestions for designing successful team projects.
- First and foremost, be sure to prepare a careful outline of the project. Your job is to open the door on a body of information and provide tools and ideas to stimulate critical thinking. In many ways this is the opposite of giving a test. In a test, the teacher determines: 1. the important questions, and 2. the correct answers. In a project such as I'm suggesting here, your students determine the questions and then find the answers they think are best. Your job is to help them focus their questions, and guide them in developing thorough and accurate answers.
- Use the project to frame a unit of study. Projects can be a great way for students to learn a short unit, one that lasts a week or so. Use the project to allow students to self-learn the unit. They can work on it in class, as well as at home. Allow three days to produce the project and two days for presentations. Unit done; boom!
However, my preference is to punctuate the year with two major projects, keyed to the two most important units we cover, units that last at least a month. I announce and describe each project as a way of opening the unit. That immediately builds engagement in the material, while giving students the maximum amount of time to work on their projects. I also allocate at least one class a week for students to work on their projects. During those classes I circulate among the teams, checking in and offering comments when appropriate. Those classes also give students time to 'listen in' on what other teams are doing, a great way to improve the general quality of work.
3. Use checkpoints. Prior to becoming a teacher, I built statistical models to forecast complex systems. Those models were always evaluated and field-tested in stages. I brought that experience into my classroom. I always divide projects into checkpoints, usually one a week. That gives me an opportunity to evaluate each group's progress, and to point out areas that need improvement or expansion, or even substantial remodeling, before it becomes a crisis. It is a very successful means of helping students build great projects and avoid last minute meltdowns.
- You will find that if your project is a good one, you will refine and re-use it for many years. After you've guided your first class through the completion of a project, you will be able to show subsequent classes examples of that project. This will be as important to your students as a good outline in helping them envision the process, as well as the product they will produce. Therefore, save your past projects! (Since they're digital, they only take up hard drive space.) They will become an invaluable aid to you in refining your design and its implementation, and they will help stimulate your students' best work.
Other ways to refine projects:
If students are video-recording information in a museum or public location, the soundtrack will most likely be full of background noise and a fair amount of "hemming and hawing". Therefore, if they have the tools and the time, they should re-record the soundtrack to clean it and sharpen its content.
If the project is not exclusively keyed to a specific museum or location, encourage your students to add information and images from outside sources. However, take note of pitfall #1 below!
To help students understand the relevance of their learning, you might have them include a section on ways they can respond to current events, or ways to market their idea or product.
Two pitfalls:
- If students add images from outside sources, they may not focus on using historically related material. They may be thinking, 'I need a street scene' or 'I need a guy with a beard.' Searching on "guy with beard" will bring up lots of hits, but very few, if any, will be appropriate for a project researching, say, Jewish life in Poland during WWII. This is a great opportunity to help your students:
- develop visual literacy;
- become sensitive to historical styles;
- sharpen their skills in composing search terms;
- understand that search engines are currently rather crude tools;
- appreciate the value of archives that focus on specific subjects.
- Students often project their own modern values and attitudes into the past. They may ask things like 'why did she allow her rights to be taken away from her?' or 'why didn't they take up arms and rebel?' Questions like that present a great opportunity to help your students become conscious of the values and institutions and rights they take for granted. But if those questions aren't challenged, your students will remain outsiders to history, weak in understanding the conditions through which historical events evolve.
In my next article in two weeks, I will walk you and your students through another great museum. While different museums require different lenses to effectively explore them, some of the intended outcomes will remain the same: to situate students inside the information, and to make the information relevant.

Mesmerizing time-lapse of the movement of corals by Antonio Rodríguez Canto. He took over 25,000 photos of corals in a controlled environment for more than a year and faced many challenges such as lighting, using macro lenses, their movement or lack there of and water particles in suspension, not to mention losing all photographic material when his hard drive crashed. Some of the species he filmed include Acantophyllia, Trachiphyllia, Heteropsammia, Physogyra, Fungia, Zoanthus, Duncanopsammia, Goniopora, Plerogyra and Scolimia.
During the post-production process, I tried to be as faithful as possible to the colours I had seen. But still, I gave a touch of colour saturation when I felt it was needed since I wanted the result to be more aesthetic than scientific.+

Twisted Christmas
by Natalie Danford -- 11/1/2004
Those who spurn teary-eyed Christmas novels by tough guys, like Skipping Christmas by John Grisham or last year's The Boat of Dreams by Hot Zone author Richard Preston, may be primed for satirist Christopher Moore's The Stupidest Angel (Morrow, Oct. 12), which makes fun of that just-in-time-for-the-shopping-season genre.
"It's an antidote to the random acts of commerce a lot of authors are doing at Christmastime," said Moore in a phone interview with PW. "If I want a gift book to give somebody for Christmas, I don't want a heartwarming tale of a crippled child in a poor family. I want zombies and drunk people."
Moore's warped take on the seasonwhich includes a Gift of the Magilike mix-up involving a newly reformed pot smoker who begins growing marijuana to buy his unbalanced wife a sword, just as she goes off her medication to purchase a bong for himis off to a promising start. When Janet Maslin declared the novel as funny as Jon Stewart's Daily Show in the New York Times on October 14, two days after pub date, her review drew readers like highway rubberneckers to Moore's curious mix of humor, the supernatural and copious research. According to Nielsen BookScan, the book sold 3,700 copies in its first week (a figure that's estimated to capture roughly 70% of sales), which is all the more impressive considering that the holidays and Moore's tour are still on the horizon.
Building a Career, Book by Book
Moore is no overnight success. His 2003 novel, Fluke: Or, I Know Why the Winged Whale Sings, hit the Times extended list and was a Today Show pick in paperback. And Morrow tripled his net sales between The Lust Lizard of Melancholy Cove (1999) and his next hardcover, Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal (2002), according to senior v-p, associate publisher Lisa Gallagher.
Promotion for The Stupidest Angel began back in June, with holiday cards sent to retailers from the aforementioned angel, leading into a month-by-month campaign in which booksellers received pine-scented Christmas tree ornaments and T-shirts. "It's one of those brick-by-brick, book-by-book things," said Mike Spradlin, one of Morrow's national account managers for Borders Group and a Moore fan since he represented the Avon paperback reprint of Moore's Coyote Blue (S&S, 1994). Spradlin has been such a staunch supporter that Moore dedicated The Stupidest Angel to him.
Part of the novel's appeal is visual. Moore, who's closely involved in all aspects of his books, designed the cover of The Stupidest Angelwhich features a hand-drawn-looking angel wearing an oblivious smile. "The cover is so engaging that I'm afraid it might engage some people who are going to be surprised at the content," joked Judith Chandler, author events coordinator at Third Place Books in Lake Forest Park, Wash.
The $14.95 price taganother appealing aspect, said booksellerswas the author's idea as well. "I said it has to be $14.95, because the Secret Santa [gift exchange] at the office has a $15 limit," Moore said.
Some Tequila with That Eggnog?
Like Moore's earlier books, The Stupidest Angel is a bookseller favoritein fact, it was voted the number one Book Sense pick for November. "When you're working in retail, you get overwhelmed by all the sappiness during the holidays," said Third Place's Chandler. "This is like a bracing shot of tequila."
Booksellers agreed that Moore's appeal reaches across many audiences, including humor, fantasy, science fiction and mystery readers. "I would compare the buyer for this to the buyer for America (The Book)," said Margaret Maupin, who purchases books at the Tattered Cover bookstore in Denver, Colo. "It appeals to the 12-year-old boy in us all." Moore reminds Stesha Brandon, events coordinator at University Book Store in Seattle, of Tom Robbins, "though Tom is a little more cerebral, and Chris isn't afraid to get down and dirty and get funny."
Moore's off-the-cuff, riff-heavy bookstore performances also help him draw large crowds. When Moore appeared at the University Book Store to promote Fluke, "we had 150 people come, even though it was the day the Harry Potter book released," said Brandon. It's a sign of bookseller confidence in Moore's ability to make events fun that his 10-city tour begins in December, one of the busiest times of year, when few booksellers want to schedule author appearances. "Even now, when everyone is thinking about who is going to be president, Moore's fans are coming in for the book," said Maupin of the Tattered Cover.
And just as The Stupidest Angel has taken off long before the holidays, booksellers expect it to continue to sell year-round, even when misanthropes aren't so desperate for a laugh. At University Book Store, the title is shelved both in a special holiday section and under fiction. Maupin of the Tattered Cover predicted, "It will be on the shelf much longer than the other little Christmas mysteries."

SPOKANE, Wash. – Mark Larkin scored 17 points and No. 11 Whitworth came back to beat the Simpson men's basketball team 77-69 on Saturday.
Larkin shot 7 of 8 from the field and helped the Pirates (9-1) shoot 70 percent in the second half en-route to their ninth straight win.
Charles Swain scored 14 points and handed out four assists and Austin Hennings scored 13 and grabbed six rebounds for the Storm (4-7), who led by as many as 10 in the first half thanks to 64 percent shooting and a 5-for-8 effort from beyond the arch.
Simpson went on a 10-2 run midway through the first half to take the early 10-point lead. Hennings and Swain hit 3s to fuel the run as Swain finished the day a perfect 4-for-4 from long range.
After an AJ Arrington layup made the score 33-23 with just under 8 minutes left in the first half, Whitworth mounted a 15-5 run to tie it 38-38 in the final minute. Arrington found the bottom of the net with 19 seconds left to give Simpson a 40-38 lead at the break.
Whitworth seized control of the game early in the second half thanks to a 16-2 run. The Pirates defense held the Storm to two points over a stretch of 8 minutes, 9 seconds in building a 56-46 lead at the 10:24 mark.
The Storm take the floor for the first time in the new year on Jan. 5 when they travel to Storm Lake, Iowa to face Buena Vista. Tipoff is set for 4 p.m.

As always, the drive into the city blots out all that has happened in the last decades and puts me into my childhood days again. Especially as we crawl into the gut of Manhattan at 49th, near the UN, just blocks from where I lived during my first years here.
I don't think it has the same effect on Ed. I hear him groan as we move in that incremental way one moves from east to west here. Let's get out and walk, he says. We do. An overnight bag rolling behind us, backpacks in place – we look weird, but, as always in this city, not weird enough to stand out.
I remember three years ago, during my routine trips here, I'd walk the streets at midnight, often in great distress, often sobbing actually, at the enormity of life and the difficulty of finding a good way to move forward and I did not stand out then either. New York is a city that pretends that eccentric is normal so that it can turn away and ignore all that should not be ignored.
It's a gorgeous, albeit crispy cool day. It makes the city look clean and fresh, especially if you look up toward that patch of blue.

I leave Ed and the suitcase to the vultures of law and set out to meet a family friend (Martha) back at the UN. It's a rare chance for me to get back inside and look around. I used to have a pass, but security measures have tightened so much over the years that our permanent passes became worthless and we, once children of the UN, have become part of the crowd again. Outsiders.
Purchase photo 2109
Did you notice there are no children at all visiting the UN? Martha asks me. No school groups. No children. They're not allowed. The building is not up to code.
It's one of the reasons why I am here: come spring, the UN is going to be gutted and rebuilt from the inside. For the next four or five years, it will be closed, under construction. And once it reopens, all the remaining people that I still know and could ask to let me inside, will have retired.
We stroll now past the big rooms – the Security Council, the General Assembly.
General Assembly
head of the Polish delegation ?
And the delegates's lounge, where you can get your espresso fix.
My father, after his stint as head of the Polish delegation, returned later to the UN as USG. Two ends of a career in diplomacy: the first trip was so brilliantly optimistic and exciting. The second – so different! The family's grown and gone, the wife's tired of diplomatic functions, the future is uncertain.
My parents broke up after his final years at the UN. He went back to Poland, she stayed behind. As I walk now with Martha, I remember these spaces as ones I walked through on my own. It had been my father's world, but I knew it best as a place where I hung out in the company of no one.

Out on the streets again, I move rapidly to reconnect with Ed. And now I am in his world. From the midtown law firm, we walk to Union Square, with suitcase, backpacks, my cameras, all of it. Hobos in black and blue, past the shadowed streets of a city rushing to call it quits for the week.

We spend some time with his cousin. Ed has family business stuff to talk over and I listen to them speak in that familiar way that you have toward those you needn't pretend anything anymore. You've been through it all, childhood, bar mitzvahs, funerals, and now you talk in short cuts, with references to facts and faces that are understood.
And then I am tired. It's evening and I do not want to go to the free MoMA exhibits. I want to go to Brooklyn, leave our bags and find dinner.
I know very little of Brooklyn. I used to go swimming at St. George hotel somewhere in this borough, because they had a pool open to the public. End of Brooklyn experience.
Now we are in a neighborhood that is very much as it may have been forty years ago.

Except for the occasional brownstone that is being renovated (for example, our B&B on Sterling Place)...
... it is still a place for people who are just hanging in there. A place where meats are roasted outside a grocer's and people hang out casually, in pairs or small groups.
Purchase photo 2104
Our hosts recommend Cheryl's soul food and it is a good choice, even though I think it says something about Brooklyn that we should be in a basically Black neighborhood, with African American restauranteurs, serving food to mostly White people. Distinctly New York types. A family with a son who reads during the entire meal. Grandparents with a college kid who brags about her ambitions all evening long. Three couples who call themselves troublemakers, sending back the by-the-glass wine, complaining of too much spice in it. Who sends back house wine?
At the b&b, I struggle with the Internet, but not for long. I have never known the night life of New York, not the part that continues past midnight. And I wont know it this time. And that's a good thing. New York was at its best for me when I was a kid. That's the part that's pleasurable now as well. The bars, the nightclubs—that's someone else's New York, not mine.

Before coming to Lanowa and Wakonda, most HFH campers have never left New York City, and many have never experienced the wonder and excitement of nature first hand. Most campers have never hiked, played baseball, or learned how to swim. HFH Summer Camps offer a welcome opportunity for homeless children to escape the stresses of everyday life, and to engage in fun, healthy and educational activities.
Each summer, HFH offers three 14-day sessions at Camps Lanowa and Wakonda. These camps sessions offer participants a level of routine, safety, and stability that most of them have never before experienced, as the chaos of changing homes and schools repeatedly can give homeless children the impression that their lives will always be in transition. They arrive at camp and suddenly they have a set schedule; there is wake-up time, time for reading, and mealtime. Our campers learn to enjoy their daily routines and to eagerly anticipate their favorite activities.

Redcliffe Library is located near the Redcliffe Jetty and Central Business District. The library is co-located with the Redcliffe Art Gallery and Special Needs Toy Library. I recently spent a very informative day with Pat Gee, the local history librarian at Redcliffe Library. It was a wonderful opportunity to expand my knowledge of local heritage resources outside of State Library.
Throughout the day Pat discussed the many projects that she and her volunteers are involved with, as well as showing me their online resource "Redcliffe Remembers". This web site is a companion to the book of the same title. The book and the web site reflect the unique social and cultural history of Redcliffe during the decade 1939 -1949 covering the war years and the first few years following the war. Redcliffe Library holds a broad collection of documentary material recording the social and cultural history of the Redcliffe community. Local heritage enthusiasts will enjoy discovering the Library's many resources.

Lester & Abdou were the X Factor 2008 contestants who with 'U Should Be The One' and 'This Song Is Gonna Save My Life' went on to have two excellent Future Presidents produced singles. After that Lester went on to rejoin his friend Gavin in DJ duo Moonflower, but didn't leave his buddy hanging. The three of them joined forces as Moonflower ft. Abs and became the people behind that brilliant dance track 'Nobody's Missing You' that was all over Belgian dance radio last summer.
The trio is back for summer 2012 with 'You Can Try'. The single is credited solely to Abs, but was produced by Moonflower, so you can rest assured that everything you loved about their previous efforts is still present in this next hit!
'You Can Try' by Abs, produced by Moonflower, is available on Spotify and iTunes.

I moved over the winter, away from the southern end of the city to a more central, downtown-ish location.
I love my new place for a number of reasons, one minor one being added distance from the airport. Not that planes overhead really bother me all that much – it's kind of cool to see those huge machines gliding in or blasting out, and a busy hub like Ottawa International has tons of people coming and going, plenty of opportunity to spot something small or large doing its thing in the sky. Still, it's noisy business, and one day one of those planes is going to fail to defy gravity like it should, and the further away the better when that happens, as far as I'm concerned.
Not that all air traffic has disappeared from my life.
Living two blocks from the local general and children's hospitals means that there's a helipad in the very near vicinity, and though that particular circle of fenced-in concrete is nowhere near as busy as the airport, one can still hear and see the orange medical assistance helicopters doing their thing several times each day. When I see one emerging over the tree line or floating back home and precisely into place, I think it's pretty damn cool how they do that.
Then I remember what it is those people in that helicopter are doing, what their purpose is and what personal drama is beginning or ending for someone I don't know in that aircraft, and it becomes just another thing I am grateful to have available, but would rather we could all just do without.

Orecchiette with Cavalo Nero
|8 tsp
|500 g
|Silverbeet, cavalo nero, or spinach
|3 cloves
|Garlic, thinly sliced
|6 Tbsp
|Extra virgin olive oil
|500 g
|½ tsp
|Crushed chilli, dried
|4 servings
|Parmesan cheese, or pecorino cheese, to serve
|6 fillets
|Anchovies, in olive oil
- Bring 4.5 litres of water to the boil in a large saucepan with 8 teaspoons of salt. Trim any stalks from the green leaves and cut into lengths. Add the pasta to the boiling water and cook for 12 minutes. Four minutes before the pasta is cooked, add the greens and cook until they are tender and the pasta is al dente ("firm to the bite").
- Meanwhile, put the oil, garlic and chilli flakes into a large deep frying pan and place over a medium heat. As soon as the garlic begins to sizzle, leave it to cook for a few seconds then stir in the anchovy fillets, breaking them up with a wooden spoon, until they have melted into the oil. Remove from the heat.
- Drain the pasta and greens and just before all the water has drained off them, add to the frying pan and toss well. Place over a high heat and shake around for a few seconds until the cooking liquid still clinging to the pasta and leaves has amalgamated with the oil to create a sauce. Divide between warmed bowls and serve sprinkled with the cheese if you wish.

Rabbi Elyakim Levanon, one of the most nationalist rabbis, has condemned arson attacks and desecrations of mosques, which "are not the enemy," he told Voice of Israel government radio Tuesday.
Rabbi Levanon's statements were in response to questioning over Sunday's arson of a mosque in the area of Bethlehem, a former Christian center located immediately south of Jerusalem. Most of the Christian community has fled over the past 15 years, mainly due to Muslim harassment and intimidation.
Rabbi Levanon said that the 11th century scholar Maimonides—known as the Rambam—teaches against attacks such as this week's and one in Samaria earlier this year.
"I do not justify, and I totally condemn these activities," Rabbi Levanon, adding that police searching for the attackers should be just as diligent in tracking down Arabs who attack Jews.
He pointed out that the attack on the mosque "is not the Jewish way" and that there is no conclusive evidence whether Jews were involved. Arabs and international leftists previously have provoked incidents that appeared to be against Arabs but which in reality were staged to incriminate Jews."

The Blood and Roses Series by Callie Hart
Amazon US
Amazon UK
Amazon AU
Amazon CA
Book Summary
*Please note, this is a Dark Romance series and deals with themes including violence and murder.
Zeth Mayfair's never been troubled by morals before. As one of Seattle's most dangerous, feared men, he's always carried out the jobs he's sent on without a second thought. Drugs? Guns? Dirty money? They're all fair game. But girls? Girls are another matter entirely. When Zeth's employer decides buying and selling kidnapped women is a lucrative sideline, Zeth's usually uncomplicated life suddenly becomes very complicated indeed. And his biggest complication goes by the name of Sloane Romera.
As a trauma doctor at St. Peter's Hospital, Sloane's finger is hardly on the pulse of Seattle's underground crime scene. Her sister is missing and she needs to find her, yet all doors leading into the seedy world of human trafficking are firmly closed in Sloane's face. She needs information. What she really needs is help...and help presents itself in the most unlikely of forms. Zeth Mayfair is terrifying, scandalously hot, and comes fully loaded with a terrible attitude and wicked smile. He also looks like he's Sloane's only hope. Can she work with the guy without getting herself killed, losing her job, or falling head over heels in love?
What happens in the dark never stays in the dark.
* At the end of this special edition boxset, you can also read the first chapter in Violent Things, Zeth & Sloane's brand new story! *

Every Bloodline has a Beginning—the story of a King, who discovers that the only way he can save his kingdom will be by relinquishing his mortality.
My interpretation of Vlad Tepes shows the beast he becomes: dark, marble-skinned and with soul-less, impenetrable eyes. He is doomed to inhabit the twilight for eternity as—Dracula—a fate which he endures with a silent determination and deep melancholy.

ResophNotes has an easy-to-use tagging capability, facilitating organization and data retrieval. Its premiere strength, however, lies in its syncing ability, either through the free-to-use and popular Simplenote or as standard text files with the ubiquitous Dropbox.
A user configurable global hotkey is one of the many keyboard shortcuts which encourages users to dispense with the mouse and find full functionality through the keyboard alone, with the website detailing more than two dozen of these shortcuts. Although the program does not rise to rich text formatting, it does allow a limited amount -- bold and italic -- when Text Format is enabled in the options settings, as well as providing clickable links to websites and internal notes.
Additional features include an immediate, automatic save, user
determination of file type, importation of text and .cvs files, and user defined settings for fonts, list ordering, and data storage location.
Available in both installed and portable versions, the app happily
accommodates those who prefer not to have their hard drives / registries littered with scattered installation entries.
ResophNotes can be downloaded at
ResophNotes, the note-taking program with syncing capabilities. Widely praised for its simplicity and ease of use, ResophNotes for the Windows platform zeros in on the essentials and dispenses with the frills.
