"Very comfortable & cute! My only complaint is that the loop that holds the strap down broke off the 1st time I wore them. The buckle & Strap are perfectly fine though, so they are still totally wearable. :)"

In this project, extant data from the Assessment and Teaching for 21st Century Skills project (ATC21S) will be examined. ATC21S is a collaborative effort among educational agencies in six countries, universities, educational research groups, high tech innovators and the multinational corporations Cisco, Intel and Microsoft. ATC21S demonstration tasks explore the use of digital literacy and collaborative problem solving constructs in educational assessment. My research investigates evidence from cognitive laboratories and pilots administered in one of the ATC21S demonstration scenarios, a collaborative mathematics/science task called "Global Collaboration Contest: Arctic Trek." Using both quantitative and qualitative methods, I analyze student work samples. Specifically, I (i) develop a rubric as a measurement tool to evaluate the student assessment artifact "Arctic Trek Notebook" for (a) generalized patterns and (b) trends that may indicate skill development in collaborative learning in a digital environment and (ii) conduct descriptive studies among the variables of student age and student notebook characteristics. Results are intended to inform instructional leaders on estimates of student ability in virtual collaboration and to make suggestions for instructional design and professional development for online collaborative learning assessment tasks in K-12 education. en_US University of Oregon All Rights Reserved. 21st Century Skills Digital Collaboration Instructional Design for Digital Collaboration K-12 Education Performance Assessment Technology: Information & Communication Literacy 21st Century Skills Development: Learning in Digital Communities: Technology and Collaboration Electronic Thesis or Dissertation

Harry Redknapp insisted yesterday that no one at Queens Park Rangers told Peter Odemwingie to make his now notorious trip south from the west midlands to Loftus Road on Thursday night in an ill-fated attempt to see through a move to the west London club.
Instead, Redknapp called for sympathy for Odemwingie, a nice person who, he said, had made a mistake in his eagerness to be in the right place should he be called on for a last-minute medical. The QPR manager said the player's mistake was to go to the ground where he was spotted by television cameras, rather than being more discreet.
The 31-year-old was permitted to train yesterday with the West Bromwich Albion squad but was been left out for tonight's game against Tottenham Hotspur.
Steve Clarke, the West Bromwich manager, described Odemwingie's decision to go to QPR without permission from his own club as "total lunacy".
Both managers said at their respective press conferences that the clubs had been close to a deal for Odemwingie.
Redknapp said a fee of £3.5 million plus the loan of Junior Hoilett had been approved with his blessing but things started to fall apart when Hoilett told QPR he did not want to go.
Clarke claimed Odemwingie still had a future at his club but would have to consider apologising first.
"He has to get picked, he has to get back into the squad, he has to show his team-mates he is willing to help them and, if he is selected for matches, he has to do well in the games.
"I can't say for sure he hasn't played his last game for the club but I don't think he has played his last game for the club. I don't have a big squad and hopefully we can get to a situation some time in the future where if we need to use Peter, we can."
Redknapp, whose side took on Norwich City overnight, denied QPR had encouraged Odemwingie to come to London on transfer deadline day.
"He didn't set foot inside the ground. He just pulled up in his car, as you saw on TV," Redknapp said. "He definitely wasn't in the building. He stayed outside but he made a mistake by coming down here. He shouldn't even have done that.
"I think he wanted to be around just in case the deal got done and he was on hand for the paperwork and a medical. He's probably driven down to London and thought, 'Where do I go now?' and he's headed for the ground.
"We played it by the book and West Brom have been fine about it. They are happy with the way we've dealt with it. The boy's just made a mistake. If you don't pitch up outside the ground, there's no problem, is there?
"It's a shame because he's a nice person, a good guy. I met him two years ago and he's a very educated boy, and he's not the first one who has found himself in a situation where things haven't worked out the way he wanted. He'll probably get some stick now but a lot of people in football get stick, don't they?"
Redknapp admitted he had tried to sign a third player from Spurs, David Bentley, but that the former England international's wages were a bit heavier than the others.
He said he had got good value on the deals for Tottenham's Andros Townsend, on loan, and Jermaine Jenas, who has an 18-month contract.
"I think you'll find the wages only come to around £25,000 a week," he said.
Aside from Chris Samba, a £12.5 million signing, Redknapp denied QPR had spent disproportionately big on Premier League survival relative to other clubs in the past.
"The chairman [Tony Fernandes] said to me a couple of weeks ago, 'If you had the choice for a centre half to replace Ryan Nelsen, who would you go for?' So, I said Rio Ferdinand, [Nemanja] Vidic, John Terry, Chris Samba.
"The chairman did the deal. It wasn't a case of me saying, 'we've got to get Chris Samba in here'. It was the chairman, with the other shareholders, completely off his own bat."
Redknapp said QPR's former England fullback Luke Young is close to retirement having failed to return from operations on a long-standing injury affecting his ribs and hips. Young, 33, won seven caps but has not played since March.
"I think his future has got to be in doubt," Redknapp said.The Independent

Great work shoe
"I was looking for black heels with some support (e.g., strap), that were high enough for me to wear with my work pants. These are perfect. They are very comfortable, and the sole feels like it's cushioned. I wear a 7.5, and that fit fine. I wish they had them in brown!"

We now have our Tips for Kindle App out with 133 Kindle DX tips and tricks (most work on Kindle DX). It's just $1 and even lets you add tips you find elsewhere – so that you can have one reference for all the Kindle Tips you find.
These are the best Kindle DX tips and tricks that have been found yet. Some of the tips in the Kindle Top Tips list and in the Kindle 2 Top Tips list also apply to the DX – so do take a look at those too.
Kindle DX – Top 10 Tips
#1 Convert PDF Files
Just kidding ;). Kindle DX PDF support is built-in. Just load PDF files and they work. Do look at my Kindle DX PDF FAQ.
#2 Get Free Books for your Kindle DX
There's a whole free kindle book post devoted to this. The top 3 options in my mind –
- The Kindle Store has 7,000+ free books.
- Check out just the new free books (i.e. non public domain) at this free book list page.
- ManyBooks.net have all their free books in kindle format.
- Gutenberg is another good option and they've been gradually adding kindle formats for their books.
#3 Shortcuts for the DX
Will be updated. These are just a few for now –
- Alt+B to bookmark a page.
- Alt+Space Bar – Play background music.
- Alt+F – play next track.
- Shift (up arrow) + Symbol (SYM key) – Start or stop Read TO Me (text to speech). Pause or resume TTS by pressing the spacebar.
- Press Spacebar to pause and resume playing of Audible files (audiobooks).
- Alt+Shift+G to take a screenshot.
#4 MineSweeper and Gomoku
There are two games supported –
- MineSweeper – Press Alt+Shift+M to go to Minesweeper.
- Gomoku – Press Alt+Shift+M to go to Minesweeper page. Then press 'G' button to go to gomoku. This is a Go like game.
#4 Change Font Sizes and Number of Words per line.
The Kindle and Kindle 2 let you change font sizes – a major benefit to avoid tiring your eyes or to better suit your eyesight. Kindle DX adds on the option to change the number of words per line.
- Press the Text Key (Aa key on the keyboard) to bring up this Menu –
- Navigate using the 5 way controller and choose your font size.
- Then move down to the words per line option and choose your setting.
- The Kindle DX screen updates in real time (you don't have to leave the menu) so you can see how your setting looks.
#5 Change Line Spacing Does not work on Kindle DX
This works on the Kindle 2 and does not work on Kindle DX –
- Line Spacing [wpvideo WGyygtPb].
- Line Spacing (reading difference) – [wpvideo 04AlznG6].
#6 Auto-Rotate
Just change the orientation of the Kindle DX.
You can also read it upside down or left handed using auto-rotate. You can press the Text Key (Aa key on keyboard) to lock the DX into a particular orientation.
#8 Read To Me
Note that Read To Me does not work in PDFs. If you convert a PDF to Kindle format and then read it, then Read To Me does work.
- Press the Aa key to go to theFont Size/Read To Me Menu.
- Use the 5 way controller to navigate to the Text-to-Speech row and press the 5 way controller to turn it on.
- This will turn on Text To Speech – It'll take a minute or so after you exit the menu for the Text to Speech to start.
- If you want to change the speed or the voice (male or female), you'll have to go into the menu again.
- Changing from male to female takes an additional minute before TTS starts with the new voice setting.
Note: Certain publishers like Random House turn off this feature.
#9 Free Document conversion
It works on Kindle DX –
Instructions from Amazon's page (the 'converting your personal documents' section is what you should look at) –
If you are not in a wireless area or would like to avoid the ten-cent fee, you can send attachments to "name"@free.kindle.com to be converted and e-mailed back to your computer at the e-mail address associated with your Amazon.com account. You can then transfer the document to your Kindle DX using your USB connection.
Note: you can email zip files and Amazon will unzip them and convert any files that are Kindle Compatible.
#10 Return An Item you purchased accidentally
You can choose to either –
- Use the order cancellation feature that is presented at the time of purchase on the order confirmation page.
- Contact Amazon at the Kindle Support page – they'll call you back immediately using click to call.
Kindle DX Tips #11 – #25
#11 Kindle Support Numbers
Inside the US: 1-866-321-8851.
From outside the US: 1-206-266-0927.
#12 Kindle Operating and Storage Temperature
Do read the rather helpful section at the very end of the Kindle DX User Guide for further details. Basic guidelines for DX are –
- Operating Temperature: 32 degrees Fahrenheit to 95 degrees Fahrenheit (that's zero to 35 degrees Celsius).
- Storage Temperature: 14 degrees Fahrenheit to 113 degrees Fahrenheit (that's minus ten to 45 degrees Celsius).
#13 Reading on the DX for Left Handed Readers (or with your left hand)
The Kindle DX lets you not only switch to landscape mode, it also lets you do upside down and upside down landscape mode. Although it results in a rather awkward 'keyboard on top of the screen' alignment, this lets you read and access page turn buttons while holding the DX in your left hand.
My Take: A bad design decision.
Tips #14-25 will be added later.
That's it for now! This is based on the rather well written Kindle DX User Guide (get it in Kindle/Kindle 2 compatible format) and tips found around the Internet.

Stress Can Make the Pounds Accumulate
March 1, 2017,
A simple goiter is an enlargement of the thyroid gland. It is usually not cancer.
Simple goiter; Endemic goiter; Colloidal goiter; Nontoxic goiter; Toxic nodular goiter
There are different kinds of goiters.
Iodine is needed to produce thyroid hormone.
In many cases of simple goiter, the cause is unknown. Other than lack of iodine, other factors that may lead to the condition include:
Simple goiters are also more common in:
Main symptom is an enlarged thyroid gland. The size may range from a single small nodule to a large neck lump.
Some people with a simple goiter may have symptoms of an underactive thyroid gland.
In rare cases, an enlarged thyroid can put pressure on the windpipe (trachea) and food tube (esophagus). This can lead to:
The doctor will do a physical exam. This involves feeling your neck as you swallow. Swelling in the area of the thyroid may be felt.
If you have a very large goiter, you may have swelling in your neck vein. As a result, when the doctor asks you to raise your arms above your head, you may feel dizzy.
Blood tests may be ordered to measure thyroid function:
Tests to look for abnormal and possibly cancerous areas in the thyroid gland include:
If nodules are found on an ultrasound, a biopsy may be needed to check for thyroid cancer.
A goiter only needs to be treated if it is causing symptoms.
Treatments for an enlarged thyroid include:
A simple goiter may disappear on its own, or may become larger. Over time, the thyroid gland may stop making enough thyroid hormone. This condition is called hypothyroidism.
In some cases, a goiter becomes toxic and produces thyroid hormone on its own. This can cause high levels of thyroid hormone, a condition called hyperthyroidism.
Call your health care provider if you experience any swelling in the front of your neck or any other symptoms of goiter.
Using iodized table salt prevents most simple goiters.

In the community, beating the Heat
November 23 2009 02:42PM
There was a certain trade that was talked about this past summer that never came to fruition. It was a trade that involved three of the boys in copper and blue — Dustin Penner, Andrew Cogliano, and Ladislav Smid. In exchange for these three soldiers of fortune, the Oilers were to acquire a certain someone from the Ottawa Senators who now plays for the San Jose Sharks. Let's call that certain someone "The Heat."
The people at Original Joe's here in Edmonton wanted to do something to "honour" the fact that the trade never happened, especially given the way PDP's been playing this season. That's why today marks the launch of the Beat the Heat charity campaign, sponsored by Original Joe's, OilersNation, Global TV, Ignition Media, Just A Game, and Give Me Shelter.
Here's how it works: any time one of Penner, Cogliano, or Smid scores, Original Joe's will donate $100 to Give Me Shelter, which supports women's shelters in Edmonton. Since it's been an era since Smid's last goal, OJ's will donate $500 for Smid's next goal and $100 for every subsequent goal.
At the end of the season, if the three Oilers score goals exceeding the total of their jersey numbers all added up, OJ's will donate an additional $1,000 to Give Me Shelter.
Official launch: tonight
If you stalwart readers of the Nation tune your picture-tube boxes to Global Edmonton tonight at 5 or 6pm, you'll see OilersNation fan and news anchor Lynda Steele interview Trevor Belsher (manager of OJ's Varsity Row) and yours truly. Today marks the kick off the Give Me Shelter campaign!
And it's all well and good for the Nation to sponsor this endeavour. But I'm going to put my money where my mouth is. I'm donating 100 of my own dollars to the campaign (and you can too >>by clicking here<<). I encourage you all to do the same — and make sure you add a comment to your donation that says you're doing it as a Citizen of OilersNation! It's for a great cause. Plus it makes watching Oilers games that much more interesting.
Channeling Billy Mays
But wait, there's more! "The Heat" will be in town this Friday as the Oilers take on the San Jose Sharks. And if you kick it down to any Edmonton and area Original Joe's location and buy a burger there, one dollar from each burger will be donated to Give Me Shelter. Food, hockey, and supporting local charities. It's the feel-good story of the year, and it involves ground beef.
Everyone's a winner.
Go Oilers!
November 23 2009, 02:46PM
This is a pretty sweet idea especially considering Penner is on pace for 40 goals and Cogs is good for at least 15, I think the total is in the bag barring a significant injury to DP.
November 23 2009, 02:51PM
Yahoo! I love it when young men (especially Oilers fans) jump on board a cause that directly benefits women... Consider this... in the past year about 130 Canadian soldiers died - a massive tragedy - while 500 Canadian women were murdered by their spouses and boyfriends, and most deaths never made the headlines. Not cool. Thank you OilersNation - thank you Original Joe's - thank you Dustin Penner, Andrew Cogliano and Ladislav Smid... thank you for helping women and children fleeing domestic abuse over the holidays - you all rock!

Representing the nation of Oilers:
*Smooches back*
Great idea Bingofuel, L Steele & OJs!! I hope this generates a good pool of funds for a great cause.
*Tips Hat*
November 23 2009, 03:22PM
This is nice and all, but shouldn't we be focusing on how to get Steve Tambellini fir....OHMYGOD LYNDA STEELE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*awkwardly combs his hair and tucks half his shirt in*
Great job Oilers Nation and OJs! I always love it when 2 institutions that I love combine forces. Obviously a great cause not to mention a good way to remind Penner, Cogs and Smid that a lot of us didn't want that trade to begin with.
Can you make donations directly at OJ's? I'm assuming they have the PPV games, right?
Right on - hopefully Smid goes on a scoring streak now!
$50 to the cause - hopefully the readers turn this into a great story - just like the Gregor trip to Montreal!
OJs has PPV games, but the best way to donate is online, as the donations are handled by a charitable organization.
Thanks Bingofuel.
Game Day Prediction: The love and good Karma from ON's readers and OJ's will help Laddy end his goal dry spell. #5 will score one in a 3-1 Oiler victory!!

Wow, it is like you are plagerizing my Game Day Prediction from the GDB! OJ's is going to be out 500 bucks tonight! That is awesome!
November 23 2009, 04:07PM
"The Heat" SUCKS!!!!!!!
November 23 2009, 04:25PM
I hope Smid score, Cogs gets 2 and Penner gets the hatty. We will gladly give up a cool grand tonight.
It's already at $1600.00.
November 24 2009, 07:24AM
I had to become a citizen just so I could comment on this. I have been watching every game with my son Cheering for Smid to pot one for the team. We are both anxious to see his reaction when he gets one. My son is 8, and we will donate $250 to the cause when he get's one. Here's hoping it is before I have to spend $$$ on Christmas Presents.....

Hi Jacqueline,
Your flowers are a work of art. Absolutely amazeballs!!!!
Do you use a special tool in order to get the rings on your Ranunculus buds?
Thank you for bringing such wonderful talent and inspiration to the cake decorating profession!
Thank you for sharing!!!!!

Hi again Clare...no special tools for the rings, just anything small and round that you can find around the house..think pen caps, straws, etc. Jacqueline

The PvPers.
If I had to pick one that got the majority of what I've grown to hate lately, I guess it would have to be the "rude" since that could include the afk'ers, ninja looters, spammers and the like.
The type that bother me most are the people who flood chat with anything from the latest meme from 4chan to Alienware trolls to flaming out the person who asks a simple question when he's first starting out. Would also include the people, as I witnessed in TERA, to changing loot policy to FFA right as the boss was dying, looting everything and getting out as quick as they could, holding the group hostage for group leader before then since they were either a tank or healer and the rest of the group had been in LFD for hours before waiting for those two classes.
Also as I saw in Rift, getting cussed out in a dungeon because I wasn't keeping up...since I had pick my quests up and was still learning my class / the dungeon. That may have been a bit on me, but when a game never forces you to group until max level...well, that's not entirely on the player. Plus can you blame someone for not wanting to ask questions / look for a group in chat when there's a good chance of getting flamed out of chat with no serious response?

"It should go f2p nau!", "It takes a week to get to achieve max level it is too long!", "I don't know how / I don't know where, game HAVE TO show me way itself", etc
You get the point.
I wonder why would anyone let another to spoil their fun in using an entertainment product.
- ninja & otherwise annoying people in a group .. use the quit button.
- annoying people in chat .. ignore
- kill stealer, just move away to another place, plus if you play in an instance, no one can affect you.
All of my posts are either intelligent, thought provoking, funny, satirical, sarcastic or intentionally disrespectful. Take your pick.
I get banned in the forums for games I love, so lets see if I do better in the forums for games I hate.
I enjoy the serenity of not caring what your opinion is.
I don't hate much, but I hate Apple© with a passion. If Steve Jobs was alive, I would punch him in the face.
The super solo guy who plays MMOs to be around other poeple but goes out of way not to interact with anyone.
A close second would be the idiot that doesn't try to learn their class/role and blames everyone else for what they do wrong. This very different then the noob. The noob doesn't know better but is willing to learn. This guy thinks he knows what he doing and is unwilling to learn how to get better.
I will not play a game with a cash shop ever again. A dev job should be to make the game better not make me pay so it sucks less.
This isn't a signature, you just think it is.

Definetely the worse for sure. Another would be the wowtard losers who park mounts on top of mailboxes or npcs.

"In the immediate future, we have this one, and then weve got another one that is actually going to be so were going to have, what we want to do, is in January, what were targeting to do, this may or may not happen, so you cant hold me to it. But what were targeting to do, is have a fun anniversary to the Ilum shenanigans that happened. An alien race might invade, and they might crash into Ilum and there might be some new activities that happen on the planet." ~Gabe Amatangelo
The person who asks 1000 questions in general chat that could be found on google in 5 seconds. I have no problem with someone needing help with something, but when they want every single step of their quest/event spelled out for them it drives me nuts
Happened during the last event in GW2. Go to a zone to find an item and mapchat is the same thing over and over. "Where is the NPC?" "Where do I take the quest item?" "Did the event start?" "Where do we go next?"
There are hundreds of sites with that info. Alt-Tab and look it up yourself!
Probably not the most annoying, but it was for the past couple days

I wouldnt say i abuse other player's but i definately criticise alot of em....especially the ones that you see in every mmo nowadays that have like a 1 kill to 4 death ratio with no objectives accomplished....im not even that good but i can usually find myself either on top or in the top 3....sumthin wrong there and thinking about how useless alot of the wannabe pvp'ers are somehow makes me mad just thinking about the scoreboards ive been seein in WoW lately, GW2 somewhat too but most of the stats are hidden from other players so only when i see em slacking...in a sense i guess im a wannabe eltist in a genre where alot of the elitist's have disappeared sadly...alot of players got annoyed by em but i loved fighting em to test myself and get better overall
Edit: On second thought its not so much they disappeared as much as they've been flooded out by all the bad pvp'ers...i still see a few every now and then

Crescent Moon: Islamic art & civilisation in Southeast Asia
24 February – 28 May 2006
Crescent Moon reveals the sophistication and splendour of Islamic courts in the Southeast Asia archipelago. Royal heirlooms recall a past when wealthy courts, enriched by the spice trade, competed to demonstrate divine blessings through earthly power and material luxury. Lavish ceremonies of the life cycle, such as circumcisions, weddings and funerals, were testimonies of faith and power when displays of fine gold and silver royal regalia and invincible weapons of state, encrusted in precious stones, dazzled the audience.

Glasgow will be led by Ryan Wilson as the PRO12 gets back underway with an Italian job in Parma waiting for Gregor Townsend's men.
Glasgow will be led by Ryan Wilson as the PRO12 gets back underway with an Italian job in Parma waiting for coach Gregor Townsend's side.
The Warriors travel to face Zebre this Sunday with an experienced starting line-up as they seek to consolidate second place in the PRO12 division.
Wilson is joined by seven others from the Scotland A squad who beat the England Saxons south of the border for the first time.
Rory Lamont also returns, a year after suffering a serious leg injury while on duty for Scotland.
"Obviously a lot of our players are involved with the Scotland set-up but the strength of the side we are able to field is a testament to the quality of players we have at the club," said Townsend.
"Any game away in Italy is a real challenge and we have to make sure that we are sharp and ready for Zebre. Last week we focused on skill work, games and fitness at training, while this week has been focused on preparing to win on our return to competitive rugby.
"We have had to look at providing cover at hooker with all four of our contracted hookers currently unavailable, so Kevin Bryce, Fraser and Gerwyn have been with us this week competing for selection. Having Jon, Ed and Ofa back really strengthens our front row options alongside Gordon Reid, who has been in excellent form in recent weeks."
The Warriors have also been boosted by the news that Tongan prop Ofa Fainga'anuku has extended his stay in Scotland with a contract extension until the end of the season, subject to a work permit.
The loosehead has established himself as a favourite at Scotstoun with his hard-hitting approach around the breakdown and his work ethic in training.
Tom Ryder and Tim Swinson form a familiar second row pairing for the PRO12 clash while skipper Wilson is joined in a strong back-row trio by Josh Strauss and John Barclay, who has recovered from the hamstring injury suffered away at Castres at the start of December.
Niko Matawalu teams up with Scott Wight at half-back with Graeme Morrison forming a midfield partnership with Alex Dunbar who has passed his return to play protocols following a head knock while on duty with Scotland A.
There is threat and pace on the wings with Byron McGuigan being given the chance to start on the wing with Rory Lamont making a welcome return from injury on the right wing.
Peter Murchie completes the line up at full-back after being with the Scotland squad at Twickenham last weekend.
Meanwhile, Zebre are missing Italy fly-half Luciano Orquera so Daniel Halangahu starts.
Also missing due to international call-ups for the Six Nations are wing Giovanbattista Venditti, centre Gonzalo Garcia, prop Davide Giazzon and second-row Quintin Geldenhuys.
Form: Zebre gained a first ever European Cup point last time out in losing 20-25 to Connacht in Galway. The new franchise have just six league points in the RaboDirect PRO12 this season – five losing bonus points and one try bonus gained against table topping Ulster in Parma in the rearranged round four match. Glasgow Warriors have won their last three PRO12 fixtures and have been victorious in their last half a dozen games against Italian opponents since losing 13-15 to Treviso at Firhill on 23 September 2011. The Warriors' only reversal in Italy since 1998 remains the 16-19 defeat in Treviso on 16 April 2011. Glasgow won the round five encounter with Zebre, 22-19, at Scotstoun.
The teams:
Zebre: 15 Tito Tebaldi, 14 Andrea Bacchetti, 13 Roberto Quartaroli, 12 Matteo Pratichetti, 11 Alessandro Castagnoli, 10 Daniel Halangahu, 9 Alberto Chillon, 8 Dries van Schalkwyk, 7 Mauro Bergamasco (capt), 6 Filippo Cristiano, 5 Josh Sole, 4 Michael van Vuren, 3 David Ryan, 2 Andrea Manici, 1 Matias Aguero.
Replacements: 16 Carlo Festuccia, 17 Salvatore Perugini, 18 Luca Redolfini, 19 Marco Bortolami, 20 Emiliano Caffini, 21 Filippo Ferrarini, 22 Alberto Chiesa, 23 Alberto Benettin.
Glasgow Warriors: 15 Peter Murchie, 14 Rory Lamont, 13 Alex Dunbar, 12 Graeme Morrison, 11 Byron McGuigan, 10 Scott Wight, 9 Niko Matawalu, 8 Ryan Wilson (capt), 7 John Barclay, 6 Josh Strauss, 5 Tim Swinson, 4 Tom Ryder, 3 Jon Welsh, 2 Gerwyn Price, 1 Gordon Reid.
Replacements: 16 Fraser Brown, 17 Ed Kalman, 18 Ofa Fainga'anuku, 19 Nick Campbell, 20 James Eddie, 21 Sean Kennedy, 22 Finn Russell, 23 Fraser Thomson.

Sedu Flat Iron Works GreatWorth the price because the plates are smooth. I have medium texture, wavy hair, and it worked nicely on it. However, my hair cannot hold up to humidity unfortunately!Also, this arrive at my place 2 days after I ordered it. Very quick!Dec 24, 2004Cynthia / NY

AwesomeThis flat iron is definitly worth the money. I wasnt sure if it was going to work or not but when I got it, it worked so well. I used to have to blow dry my hair straight and then straighten it, but now i can just keep my hair the way it is and straighten it. Also, it is a lot faster and my hair isnt damaged. This is definitly worth the money and the best flat iron i have ever used.Dec 24, 2004Dana

Sedu Vs. ChiThe Sedu is very lightweight and heats up quickly. The CHI is a little heavier, and supposedly easy to short out. I was considering to buy the CHI, because my friend had it and it was awesome. But i decided on the Sedu because its a little cheaper, and lighter (for the 1 inch anyway). Im glad i chose the Sedu instead because it gives me the same results as the CHI, for less money. Reviewers also said that the CHI doesnt last long, so that turned me off to it also. I will say this tho, the CHI does straighten better, and will straighten my hair in less time. With the Sedu, i have to run it through my hair 3-4 times, and with the CHI, itll be straight after 2 runs of the iron. But my hair is REALLY thick and wavy. So i guess it just depends. Heres the breakdown:SEDU: 1) Lightweight 2) Cheaper 3) Straightens well 4) Heats up fastCHI: 1) Heavier 2) More expensive 3) Breaks easily 4) Straightens well. Just buy the Sedu save yourself some money, and get the same results as when you use the CHI. No iron is worth $116.00 if its going to break after a year! Ive had no problmes with my Sedu...yet. Ill let you know if i do. BTW, my hair gets really shiny and silky with the Sedu.Dec 19, 2004Angelica / California

Pretty GoodI read the reviews of this product and was very excited to recieve my flat iron. When it came I straightened my hair and it worked pretty well, but it didnt seem to be the miracle product people made it out to be.

Love It Love It Love ItI have very curly frizzy hair. I used to think there was no better straightner than the Chi. Until it broke. I found this one online and thought I would give it a try. It is wonderful. So much lighter than the chi and works better! If you are in the market for a straightner, the Sedu is excellent!Dec 17, 2004Mariel / Massachusetts

This Product Is Wonderful!Ive had/used this product for a few weeks now, and I waited to write the review b/c I wanted to be sure of what Im writing. Now, Im sure this is one of the best investments Ive made. I call it an investment b/c yes, its expensive, but its also worth it.I have short, naturally coarse hair which is relaxed in order to be manageable (i.e, im black). Even though I was skeptical, the Sedu met my expectations. Like it professes, it heats up very quickly and it straightens like magic. My hair looks so healthy and soft after I use the Sedu and it just glides straight through. And the best part is that my hair has remained healthy since I started using the Sedu. It hasnt thinned out, hasnt burned out, and hasnt given me split ends. And my hair maintains so much body, even days after using it (which is good because I try not to apply heat to my hair everyday). Also, any flyaways are well camouflaged after I use the sedu. As for the product itself, its light and easy to handle. The plates are very smooth and the temperature controls make it excellent for hair type.Obviously, I cant say enough good things about this product. I rarely write reviews but I felt that this product is worth it. If you can afford it, buy it. If you cant, save up and buy it ;-) I hope you have as good an experience as I did!Dec 17, 2004Nana

Love This ProductI recently purchased a Sedu iron to straighten my hair and I love it. I have hair that is very thick and waving and this made my hair straight, smooth and silky.....My hair has been through years of highlighting and was worried that it would burn my hair, I was amazed when it did not.Dec 16, 2004Renee / Texas

This Is Like God... But In The Form Of A Hair Appliance.I LOVE this straightener. I have so much fun with it, because it works sooooo well. I have wavy, medium length hair- but it is SO frizzy. It is a mess. This straightener made my hair phenominally soft and shiney. Everyone compliments me and asks if I just got it styled or cut, because of how I can now flip my hair under without using a curling iron that flips it under too much. Oh man, this is amazing. And yes, Its true, I did host a hair straigtening party with three of my friends. It was great. I definetly recommend this- WELL worth the mula!! :-DDec 16, 2004Sarah G. / Saint Paul, Minnesota

Sedu 1I love it. My hair never looked better. My hair is coarse as horse hair and incredibly thick - I have more hair than anyone I know and it frizzes when just washed.

Badly packed...
"This shoes in 8.5 size runs OK for me. Platform is high, anyway they are too pretty.But they arrived very badly packed, almost no soft packing paper so they got enough scratches on sides. Complaints only for DSW service itself."

not pleased
"This shoe is very gorgeous but it has a snuggish fit and runs small,i recommend going up a size bigger maybe it will give you a much comfortable fit.I have very narrow feet but this shoe didnt do any justice for me.I ordered my regular size and it felt like my feet was suffocating plus the shoe had so many scruff marks,so I reordered another going up a half size and I barely could feel the difference not to mention the scruff marks on it."

Transforming learning through global collaboration
Quad Blogging Assignment
(Mark Grinder, Emily McCarren and Paula Cancro)
Establishing good communication habits in schools is not just an important part of the school community, but also an essential part of flattening the classroom. From creating positive routines to managing workflows, good communication habits are the foundations in which a flat classroom rests on.
Most schools routinely use email as the main means of communication. However, do schools understand maximize the potential of this powerful tool? E-mail discussion groups can continually keep a conversation moving about a topic or collaboration between colleagues, who (because of the complexity of scheduling), might not otherwise have a chance to meet.
Recently, the United Nations International School in Hanoi hosted Mark Church author of, "Thinking Visibly: How to Promote Engagement, Understanding and Ind..." During the two day workshop the staff used a program called, 'backchannel' to extend learning through a continual discussion t
hat was moderated by one of the technology facilitators. A survey afterwards revealed that the teachers felt much more engaged during the workshop because they were constantly learning through their reflections.
At Punahou School in Honolulu, Hawaii, USA, staff have also played with how a back channel might support teachers in their work. Several summers ago the faculty and staff in the high school summer program began using Yammer, which is something like Twitter but for internal groups. People posted questions, what they were doing in their classes and sometimes, a call for help with computer issues. It ended up being used most regularly by the information technology staff (the classic early adopters), but was a great tool for community building in a large school.
As schools consider the most efficient way to communicate, given the topic and audience, they might look at this infographic:
(Click on the image to enlarge it.)
And what about how teachers connect with teachers and how teachers connect with students? Teachers need to consider the purpose and frequency of their communications with students and also establish some expectations. It would be foolhardy to believe that just because you do, students will be checking their email. Teachers might consider the use of a tool such as Remind101 to give students the option to receive text messages related to their coursework, without having to give their teachers their cell phone numbers.
Teachers working together, teachers communicating with students, all working groups need to have shared and clear expectations about how they communicate and each individual's responsibilities to keeping the lines of communication open, clear and productive.
Appendix: Partial list of ways that people can communicate:
email discussion groups
instant messaging group (back channel chats)
strong e-mail connection between teachers
appointment groups
on-line meeting spaces
shared calendars
project monitoring portal
RSS - Feeds about the project

Well done team! Interested to read your comments about backchannel use - I have yet to find a school where most teachers find this beneficial or in fact understand it yet. It certain;y is a way of being inclusive and of extending the conversations. Yammer is something that I have not used but the scenario described sounds like an excellent approach.
One suggestion for this post - it would be good to have hyperlinks to websites for the tools, and also to websites for the schools mentioned.

The book club will be taking the summer off, but to make up for it we'll be discussing two books when we come back: The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency, the first installment of Alexander McCall Smith's popular series of cozy mysteries set in Botswana; and Ayaan Hirsi Ali's memoir Infidel, about escaping her fundamentalist Islamic upbringing in northern Africa. Stop by the front desk to pick up a copy of either book, or both. The meeting will be Monday, Sept. 12 at 6:30 in the evening.

Hey 'Ching' and 'Chong,' Your Chick-fil-A Is Ready
Well, this won't help Chick-fil-A appear any less bigoted: A Tumblrer d/b/a "Lolwhut" reports that his friend and an acquaintance—both of whom are Asian—stopped by a Chick-fil-A in Irvine for some sandywitches and, upon placing their orders, received these receipts referring to them as "Ching" and "Chong." The cashier's name: Rosie O'Donnell.
No it wasn't! It was "Lia." After learning of his friend's encounter with Racist Lia, Lolwhut stopped by the Chick-fil-A and confronted the manager:
I told him that this cannot happen ever again. I chose to be calm about it, but I was ready to go off. I made it known that it wasn't okay, and that I didn't appreciate it whatsoever. I think I indirectly fired Lia…"
As pointed out by the Orange County Weekly, Lolwhut has written a follow-up Tumblpost in which he asks the outraged public at large not to make sweeping generalizations about Chick-fil-A employees based on just one employee's actions, but to "be respectful and THINK." So please continue doing lunchtime business with
Chink-Chick-fil-A: your source for anti-Asian purchase slips and heterosexual-friendly waffle fries.

By PATSY STODDARDEditor
When the Utah Army National Guard teamed up recently with local law enforcement for training, a lot of learning took place. The guard was impressed with the level of professionalism and expertise the locals had to offer making the mock trainings as realistic as possible. The final assessment of the training during a week long period was held at Millsite State Park where the guard was headquartered during their time in the county.
The Emery County Search and Rescue prepared a dutch oven cobbler and ice cream dessert for the guard and the participants at the closing event. Lt. Col. Behunin said "Thank you for your hospitality. This is the best training we have ever had and your help and input has made us a better unit."
The guard members commented on the real rescue they were able to help with while in the area. They said after a week of mock exercises, the real thing helped them to react in an emergency rescue and participate in the helicopter search for the stranded rafters. Eight Emery County Search and Rescue members rode on the helicopters to aid with the search and offer medical help when the rafters were located. The helicopters were given a start position for the group and where they were supposed to exit the river. It didn't take long to spot the rafters and then the team searched for a safe landing zone to get in a position to pick them up. The team felt the communications were good during the actual rescue mission.
Team leaders felt a relationship was built during the rescue with Emery County law enforcement. This was the first time this guard group had helped with an actual rescue.
There was a map set up which showed the training locations in the Joe's Valley area. The local law enforcement teams worked to locate the guard teams that were playing the evaders in the scenario. The locals did a good job locating many of the guard and taking them down. The terrain was tough in the area and special considerations were made for the safety of the chasers and the runners.
The guard had GPS issues during the exercise and their communications seemed to be jammed.
The guard said the training was very valuable and awesome. They learned many areas where improvements are needed. They learned to evaluate just what the basics are that they need in a situation where they are shot down over enemy territory or experience mechanical failures in enemy territory. They weren't used to being the ones on the run and the situations were very realistic and much learning for both sides took place. One hint the guard had for the locals was not to leave their 4-wheelers unattended and to wear more camo because some of them were easy to spot including the man wearing the white shirt. Locals said the guard probably shouldn't leave their helicopters unattended either.
Some good natured teasing and competition existed between the guard and the locals. Another suggestion was next time those involved use paint ball guns and airsoft guns in the training. One guard member said they had under estimated the locals, "These guys are for real," he learned. So moral of the story, don't underestimate whoever is chasing you. Some of the runners wore socks over their boots to help hide their tracks. "Believe me if I'm ever shot down I am going to remember what I learned in this exercise," said Behunin. The men were on the mountain and desert all night long, but they had to stop running at dark and could begin again at daylight due to the rugged conditions. But anyone spotted on a road during the night could be taken captive.
Chad Koon and Capt. Kyle Ekker worked on the communications throughout the week long training.
Emery County Sheriff Greg Funk said, "I thought everything went fantastic. The roads were the downfall of most of the runners. We found a lot of people on the roads."
The other scenarios involved finding lost hunters and three mock traffic accidents, one near Cinderella pond below Ferron and one on Mohrland road.
One issue involved communications throughout all the events. Different frequencies and different lingo made communication difficult at times and one point which will be worked on. One suggestion was giving the other team one of the radios already programmed from their agency. Emery County Communications director Bret Mills helped work out many of the communications issues so the sheriff's office was able to hear and speak with the guard. Another suggestion was having a guard member stay with the communications center at the sheriff's office.
Another issue was the method of communicating the coordinates during the real rescue. Another concern was making sure the helicopters always had safe landing zones. At some of the sites for the scenarios there were added people at the scene observing and there were concerns for the safety of the children at these sites. The helicopters kick up a lot of dust and many people were dusted throughout the week.
Koon thanked the Emery County Sheriff's Office and all involved in the training. "What you did for us and what you put us through and the experience we gained has stretched us, big time. I can't tell you how much we appreciate it."
One guard member said, "We will compare everyone else we train with against your county, now."
Sheriff Funk said, "Thank you for what you do for our nation. Whenever you are activated and whatever you do, you are our heroes. We appreciate training with you guys and welcome you back next year. I want to thank Capt. Ekker and Capt. Thomas for the time they put in and to Bret Mills our communications director, he is our diamond. I want to thank all the other law enforcement involved, Carbon County, DWR and AP&P. We have enjoyed you guys and you are welcome at our campfire any time."
In the training objectives Capt. Ekker said the purpose of the training is to learn and grow. "The main purpose of this exercise is for military personnel to heighten their personal skills to survive in a real SERE (survive, evade, resist, extract) environment to enable them to return home safely to their families. The main purpose of this exercise for law enforcement, search and rescue and emergency medical services is to interact with military personnel.
Capt. Jeremy Tannahill from the Utah Army National Guard was instrumental in bringing the guard into Emery County for training. He is a former Emery County resident and graduate of Emery High. He worked with Capt. Ekker on planning the training exercises and with local officials in coordinating the training event.

|Meeting Description:
|Subject: Cognitive, Typological and Functional Approaches
Organized by the Linguistic Association of Finland in Helsinki, September 12-13, 2013
Venue: Tieteiden talo (House of Sciences and Letters) located at Kirkkokatu 6, Helsinki
Grammatical subject is a central notion in linguistic theories. Subjects have been studied across multiple theoretical frameworks, and defined from various perspectives, including, for example, feature-based (Keenan 1976), construction-based (Goldberg 1995), and cognitive-based (Langacker 2008). While there is no doubt that in many languages subjects constitute a core element of grammar, there is no general agreement on how to define them in and across languages, what conditions the way in which subjects are expressed, and what functions they have in discourse. Furthermore, there are numerous languages that lack the idea of a grammatical subject altogether, and the assignment of semantic roles to the constituents of discourse is conditioned by pragmatics and discourse structure.
The aim of this symposium of the Linguistic Association of Finland is to bring together linguists from different fields who work on subjects within cognitive, functional, typological, and interactional approaches. Research is expected to be data-driven, and the discussion of theoretical issues is appreciated to the extent that it helps to elucidate the data and remains accessible to linguists working within other theoretical approaches as well.
The invited speakers are:
Jóhanna Barðdal (University of Bergen)
Pekka Posio (University of Helsinki)
Catherine E. Travis (Australian National University, Canberra)

I've done the middle-of-the-night seen and haven't seen any. I just got home (it's dark out, all lights are off) and turned the kitchen lights on as I soon as I opened the front door. Nothing. I would probably lose my mind if I saw a bunch of them scurrying across the kitchen floor.
Make sure to look around the cabinets, kitchen sink, under the kitchen sink, and in the bathroom. Fuckers love moisture, darkness, and food - at least from what I remember.

"I love these shoes. I read the other reviews before purchasing and after rave reviews like that and the price I got I couldnt pass up. They arrived and they are beautiful. The blue is not as 'brilliant' as the picture makes it seem. You can still see the blue color but it isn't as bright. The blue is also a fabric, almost like a satin. I bought true to size at 7.5 and my foot slipped right in without a problem and felt nice. Not too tight not too loose. Well done Sam Edelman, Well done."

I love the shoes but...
"It is not as navy as shown in the picture. It has purple, navy, black etc... It's pretty nonetheless. It fits a bit too perfectly so I know I might be uncomfortable if I wear it for too long. Maybe I should have ordered a half size bigger."

PGDB #3: Waiting On Kariya
Jonathan Willis
April 19 2009 11:26AM
The Vancouver Canucks will play their first road game of the playoffs tonight against St.Louis. Based on the post-game scrum (instigated by Kevin Bieksa's stickwork), it should be a chippy affair, although that may well favour the Canucks (assuming that the referees stick to the laissez-faire approach they employed on Friday).
There are a couple of things working in the Blues' favour. First, while all NHL coaches match lines, Andy Murray is one of the most fanatical in the league. Tonight, for the first time in the series he'll have home ice advantage and be able to definitively control the matchups. Secondly, Paul Kariya may not be far away from making his presence known in this series.
Kariya has been skating with the team and looked healthy this morning. Asked whether he would play in game 3, he responded with, "We'll see," although sources have told TSN that Kariya will not play.
In any case, even if the Canucks can earn a split in the two games in St. Louis, they'll come home with a sizeable advantage. If, on the other hand, they can win both games they'll have a long rest while waiting for their second-round opponent. We'll see tonight.
Now that it is done, and the Blues are on the ropes, I think that we will see Paul in tomorow's affair. At the risk of being premature, I am especially pleased with the way the Ducks are handling the Sharks. We may be looking at a 2nd round match-up w/Chicago rather than Detroit, which I believe to be in our favor.

In no particular order she loves dogs, wine, a good bargain, her family, pizza, and entertaining. Follow her blog of all things miscellaneous including but not limited to cooking and baking, entertaining and party planning, being a mommy, and homekeeping.
Guess who's coming to dinner!
I'm not a warp-drive, hyper-speed kind of person. I've had to slow my pace just trying to get out the door to run errands, thanks to a pokey almost-four-year-old who makes a major production out of leaving.
While I don't like to be rushed, I'm not on the tortoise end of the spectrum either. I don't shovel food into my mouth as if it's my last meal but I probably eat too fast for what is considered optimal health. Why, just the other day I was wondering "Do I eat too fast and therefore too much?" (Um, no I really wasn't wondering that.)
But in case you have been wondering that, you can now fork over (pun intended) a mere $99.00 for a gadget that looks like it is designed for toddlers learning to feed themselves. Instead, this device is meant to tell you if you're shoveling like you're famished or savoring like you're French.
Ah, yes, the French. They tell us they're the only ones who can make good on the grape. (See "whine" under Culinary No-No Bonuses.) We're to believe they're the only ones who can rock a Roquefort, craft a crepe, or produce a mousse. Now those patronizing Parisians developed electronic cutlery "designed to space your forkfuls so that you have time to chew each one properly."
Nothing like having Your Mother + Big Brother join you for a meal.

*slaps head* wow I really should have put this up sooner -_- . anyways it is really funny and the story goes something like this
The story takes place in Edo (known today as Tokyo because of the name change in 1868), Japan, which has been taken over by aliens called Amanto since the late Edo period. The samurai of Japan have fallen, and the Amanto placed a ban on carrying swords in public. The story focuses on an eccentric samurai with a natural perm, Sakata Gintoki, his (partial) apprentice Shimura Shinpachi, and a teenage alien girl: Kagura. All three are "free-lancers" who search for work in order to pay the monthly rent, which usually goes unpaid anyway.
there is alot of funny characters and they have several parodies to well known to famous animes. I recommend it since it always gives me a good laugh.

Things that matter:
My health, and that of my loved ones is paramount.
I am obsessed with sleep. White, cotton sheets and numerous strategically placed pillows and good mattress quality. When discussing holiday plans for this summer I heard myself saying 'well of course the beds have to be good quality; holiday without good sleep is no holiday at all'.
The puppy. I should be now describe him as a dog - yet he remains small for his breed and ridiculously teddy-bear like and fluffy. I arrived at dog island as a detour; an experiment in weakening my resolve and it remains the best thing I ever did. I love him. As in: I REALLY love him.
I do recall a time when I didn't live by the clock. The time of day or night was not of optimum importance. Yet now I notice that everything corresponds to the passing of time. Not a decision is made (be it shall I have a cuppa tea to it's time for the school pick-up) without consulting the clock. What does this mean? I am a slave to time. There is never, ever enough of it. Like ever.
In a way that I never grasped in my twenties, my hair and skin matter more than what I choose to wear. If it's a good hair day, all is well with the world. Likewise skin; my happiness with myself when stepping out the door is increased if I look well-rested and clear-skinned.
One of things that matters the most to me now is family meals. Gathering to have dinner together, sharing food with our children, finding meals we all like, simultaneously, is a happy place for me.
I do circuit training twice a week. It's an early morning, get-it-done, approach to exercise that is bolstered immeasurably by the fact that I do it with friends and a trainer. It punctuates my week, it keeps those extra few pounds off, it delivers endorphins no matter what the weather.
I need to be alone sometimes. I used to be really uncomfortable in my own company and would go to endless lengths to have someone with me all the time. Now I seek out solitude and notice that if I am without it for days on end, I get...gritchy.
Things that used to matter:
Frequenting pubs. This is a big British pursuit and something that I devoted most of my early adult years to. Any given night, going out for a drink was a thing we did. Propping up bars and what? Presumably talking with friends, although I can hardly recall what we talked about at University and after as we simply hadn't done anything yet. Except study and talk about boys. Then later talk about our jobs...or jobs we wanted to get. Our careers.
|via dust jacket attic
Closely linked to the weekend away was the wedding weekend. We worked out when in the final throes of a spate of summer weddings that we had been to over forty of them in our early twenties. In fact I remember one year where we had seven Saturdays taken up with weddings stretching through June to August. But I did love a good wedding; comparing and contrasting dresses and speeches and the likability of the mother in law.
I feel like I spent a great deal of time networking. Building my career. And I used phrases like 'getting visibility' and wanted to be considered for promotions at work. Everything was all about the next big job. My colleagues and I vied for attention from our corporate bosses. I could never have imagined anything other than working flat out - Monday to Friday - making a name for myself.
Mid way through, babies became a feature. This of course signalled the change that led to where I am now. Getting pregnant, staying pregnant, having babies, seeing my friends have babies; that became the mainstay. Ultimately I realise now, that was what mattered for about ten years of my life - straddling my twenties into my thirties. Until the time when those babies started school - and then everything shifted a gear and altered. I saw one of my best friends yesterday who has had her third baby in recent weeks. A gorgeous baby boy who has been stealing her sleep and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future! I came home thinking that I have done that stage; babies no longer feature for me and I am entirely fine with that.
I look back and realise, I did no exercise, never walked anywhere. I ate crappy food and rarely cooked. I basically spent my time pretending we were in episodes of 'Friends' (complete with Rachel's hair). No iphone, no Pinterest, no blog! Or at least it was in written diary form. I didn't really think about much at all...oh how times have changed!
