Learning Perl, popularly known as "the Llama," is the book most programmers rely on to get started with Perl. The bestselling Perl tutorial since it was first published in 1993, this new fifth edition covers recent changes to the language up to Perl 5.10.
This book reflects the combined experience of its authors, who have taught Perl at Stonehenge Consulting since 1991. Years of classroom testing and experience helped shape the book's pace and scope, and this edition is packed with exercises that let you practice the concepts while you follow the text. Topics include:
Perl is the language for people who want to get work done. Originally targeted to sysadmins for heavy-duty text processing, Perl is now a full-featured programming language suitable for almost any task on almost any platform-from short fixes on the command line to web applications, bioinformatics, finance, and much more. Other books may teach you to program in Perl, but this book will turn you into a Perl programmer.

The animal on the cover of Learning Perl, Fifth Edition is a llama (Lama glama), a relation of the camel native to the Andean range. Also included in this llamoid group is the domestic alpaca and their wild ancestors, the guanaco and the vicu a. Bones found in ancient human settlements suggest that domestication of the alpaca and the llama dates back about 4,500 years. In 1531, when Spanish conquistadors overran the Inca Empire in the high Andes, they found both animals present in great numbers. These llamas are suited for high mountain life; their hemoglobin can take in more oxygen than that of other mammals.Llamas can weigh up to 300 pounds and are mostly used as beasts of burden. A packtrain may contain several hundred animals and can travel up to 20 miles per day. Llamas will carry loads up to 50 pounds, but have a tendency to be short-tempered and resort to spitting and biting to demonstrate displeasure. To other people of the Andes, llamas also provide meat, wool for clothing, hides for leather, and fat for candles. Their wool can also be braided into ropes and rugs, and their dried dung is used for fuel.

Great intro to Perl
By Jim Schubert
from Richmond, VA
About Me Software Engineer
Comments about oreilly Learning Perl, 5th Edition:
I picked up this book on a whim to learn Perl. I was extremely impressed, especially by the three chapters on Regular Expressions.If you have used Perl, this book may be fairly basic. There are whole chapters on Scalars, Arrays, Hashes, etc. I have a lot of experience in a lot of languages and technologies, and I can tell you this book is well-written and well-organized to ease you into the Perl mindset.First of all, most languages are like mathematics. 1+1=2 is a rule. If that rule didn't work, math wouldn't work. Similarly, 'int x = 1;' in C-style languages will always point the variable 'x' to the memory location storing the value of '1'. Rules are rules. However, Perl is contextual. When you do one thing in Perl, you may have a different result depending on the context of the code. For example (extremely-generalized example), hashes can be considered an array of values in which every even index is the key and every odd index is the value. So, an array of ["first", "1st", "second", "2nd" ] could easily become a hash with the keys and values related as expected. Weird? Yes. Basic, not really. I think that can be a very difficult concept for a lot of people... too meta.The book does a great job of easing a lot of the Perl concepts onto the reader. Interestingly, the part of the book I found the most useful are the three Regular Expressions chapters. I have recommended this book to students in the past solely for the three Regular Expressions chapters. They are clearly and concisely written in a way that presents the Perl syntax very well.If you're familiar with Perl already, this book probably isn't for you. You would probably be better off with the Intermediate Perl book also available by O'Reilly. Even after reading both books and working a bit with the Catalyst framework, I found myself coming back to the last chapter of this book to fully understand eval blocks.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Love the book, now get Intermediate Perl
By DaleyB
from Nottingham, UK
About Me Developer, Sys Admin
I love this book, from beginning to end. The structure of the book is superb in the sense that the chapters are nicely split up. You read one chapter, then have a Q and A session at the end, which, in my opinion, is the best way of learning by doing.I would buy more Randal Schwartz books, and hope there will be many more to come on the Perl subject.

good, but elementary book
By Michal Konrad Owsiak
from Poland
About Me Developer
Learning Perl is a typical elementary book. You can find there everything, beginner needs. You will be guided through the basics of Perl, elementary data types, structures and conditional loops. What this book reminds me is good old "The C Programming Language" by Kernighan and Ritchie. Authors of Learning Perl simply go step by step and present language specific constructs to the reader. However, this book is not for everybody. It is neither a reference guide, nor a "Learn by example" kind of book. It's an elementary. You will be though Perl from the very basics and I am pretty sure this is great for people who begin their experience with Perl. What I liked within the book? Well, the "Some Advanced Perl Techniques" chapter - which is unfortunately very short, brought my attention. Another interesting part of the book was devoted to regular expressions, however I missed XML related examples and references. XML is quite important these days and to pass over it is strange thing for me. In general, I'd advise buying it to anyone who wants to learn Perl a consistent way rather than through "found in the Internet" examples. On the other hand, if you are looking for a reference or advanced book on Perl - try finding something else.
Best Perl beginner Book
By Abi
from Chennai, India
Learning Perl is a fantastic book for beginners. It covers the fundamentals of Perl and quickly takes you from beginner to intermediate level. This book in its 5th edition now, has been updated for Perl 5.10 version. This edition is co-authored by 3 people - Randhal L.Schwartz, Tom Phoenix and Brian d Foy.Randal L.Schwartz, who wrote the first edition, has conducted Perl trainings worldwide and has refined the book based on feedbacks received from those trainings. So what you have in this book is a great package of years-of-classroom-trainings,experience and feedback from community.What I liked in this book is the simple language that makes understanding easy. The instructions are precise. Only the essentials for a beginner are addressed. For deeper understanding you could always go to references indicated in the footnotes. There are exercises provided at the end of each chapter. For each question, (an approximate) time required to solve that question, is provided. I liked that gentle-nudge to complete the questions on or before time. The exercises have been made more effective as a result of feedback from various training sessions conducted by the authors.Perl is a widely adopted tool by programmers, DBAs, system administrators who want to come up with some quick hacks. The worldwide community support has taken it from a text-processing tool to a language to build web applications. If you would like to add a power tool to your skill-set then Perl would top your list and to get started in Perl there is no better book than this. If you are framing a reading-list for beginners be sure to include this book. I reviewed this book as a part of Oreilly's Blogger Review Program. In exchange for my honest opinion on the book, I receive an electronic copy of the book at no charge. If you are a "see it to believe it" type of person, checkout the preview of this book in Oreilly's web page and also errata of the same.

Going out of style?
By Jfg[B
from Tromsø, Norway
I already own 2/e of this book, which I would gladly give 4 or even five-star rating. For tutorial and introductory-level content, this edition is still very good. Even so, I was first confused and then disappointed with this edition. This was to do with coding style.Style, IMO, is important. Not for its own sake, but for the sake ofbeing able to quickly and accurately read code.I don't expect to see coding style that I agree with everywhere. Evenso, I have been accustomed to finding a familiar and consistent codingstyle in every ORA book I ever handled, and I have never beensurprised by code formatting in these books. This edition of theLlama book uses at least four (arguably five) different brace andspace styles. (I use names from [@]).- There is what the Llama used to have: the OTBS with spaces beforethe parentheses for control structures, not for functions, and nospaces directly inside the parentheses. This style is used in chapter1-7, 9, 13, 14, 16 and 17, and with some exceptions in chapters 8, 10,and 12.- Then there is the Banner style, usually without spaces betweencontrol structures and parentheses, and spaces directly inside, usedin chapters 8 (section on named groups), 10 (section on defined-or),12 (section on stacked file tests) and most of chapter 15.- There is Whitesmiths style in chapter 11- And finally there are some traces of Pico style, most notably in theexamples with code omitted in chapter 12, and the section on dumbmatching in chapter 15.So in summary, all the old (i.e. 2/e) material is consistent, butwhere new sections and chapters have been added, consistency withexisting text has not been maintained. Consequently, instead of beingable to easily browse the text to look for what is new, I must nowdeliberately scan the code examples up and down, matching up bracesmanually. Particularly egregious are the examples on page 229 whereat first glance one might have suspected OTBS to have been used, butwill end up mismatching braces.
Excellent. Perfect for beginners
By jdruin
from Undisclosed
Learning Perl is meticuously written for those new to programming Perl. To some extent, the book covers basic programming concepts so it can be used by those making Perl their first computer language. The book is organized so that experienced programmers can used the book as a syntax reference without concern for the details. The chapters explain topics both conceptually and by explaining Perl syntax.When showing syntax, the authors show the various shortcuts Perl has built in plus alternative syntax that is easier to understand. This is helpful since someone new to Perl is likely to look at examples from various programmers; some of which will use the shortcut syntax and some who will use the longer but easier to understand and maintain sytax.Overall, a great book to start with. The basic concepts are covered in detail so that someone new to perl should be able to follow along easily. More advanced programmers will need to get the second and third books in the series if they plan to use Perl professionally. This first book stops after beginner concepts are covered.

THE book for Perl Programmers
By Edmonton Linux User Group
from Edmonton
One should be careful when trying to critique a classic that some consider on a par with the Bible itself - if you are to be believed atall!Yes, this is the classic 'llama book,' revised for the fifth time, from the folks who teach Perl at Stonehenge Consulting. It's the book that probably more Perl programmers cut their teeth on than any other. My first exposure to the Perl language was on the first edition of the book, and when I had questions, they were promptly answered by one of the authors. This edition includes some useful information on changes incorporated in the Perl 5.10 version.As good an introduction to Perl that this books is, however, you need to remember that this is an introduction, and not an exhaustive reference - you'll need several feet of bookshelf space just for the additional Perl information O'Reilly has (and I'll have them all, soon!).Also, the information is a good introduction and grounding in the language. However, I've actually found another book to be more useful as a keyboard-side companion, but then, I'm not using this other book to learn - just as a helping hand.The major audience, of course, is the beginning Perl programmer. And it doesn't hurt old Perl hands to skim through it for a refresher. I'll probably get every new edition that comes out.http://elug.ca/reviews/learning_perl_5th.shtml
The very best

I have read many, but this is my Perl Book last stop, no more other books. It does it for me, the examples are great. I love it

That leads in to Lindzen's main theme in his evidence – how sensitive climate will be to increasing CO2. He starts off by giving the standard Stefan-Boltzmann no-feedback value for the climate sensitivity: "A doubling of CO2 should lead (if the major greenhouse substances, water vapour and clouds remain fixed), on the basis of straightforward physics, to a globally averaged warming of about 1°C". But he couples this with an extremely misleading statement: "The current increase in forcing relative to the late 19th Century due to man's activities [by which he means greenhouse gases alone] should lead to a warming of about 0.76°C, which is already more than has been observed, but is nonetheless much less than current climate models predict." He repeats this point in the Q&A session as well. However, Lindzen is undoubtedly well aware (having written papers on the subject i.e. Lindzen, GRL, 2002) that lags in the surface temperature due to ocean thermal inertia imply that the transient response is always smaller than the equilibrium response, and that additionally, there are other forcings in the system (specifically land-use change and aerosols) that counteract the forcing from greenhouse gases alone. Since he does not mention these two factors in connection with this statement, a listener could be left with a rather misleading impression. He combines this with a (deliberate?) overstatement (Q130) of the 'consensus' value for the sensitivity as being 4 to 5°C (while the actual consensus is between 1.5 to 4.5°C, best guess around 3°C), misleadingly giving the impression that the mainstream is way off. Similarly, his claim that models overpredict the 20th Century temperature rise is easily shown to be false.
Later he states: "Attempts to assess climate sensitivity by direct observation of cloud processes, and other means, which avoid dependence on models, support the conclusion that the sensitivity is low. More precisely, what is known points to the conclusion that a doubling of CO2 would lead to about 0.5°C warming". One wonders which attempts he is referring to, since it can't be Lorius et al (1991), or Forrest et al (2004) or Andronova and Schlesinger (2002), given that they give ranges that are all significantly higher than this, and indeed, Gregory et al (2002) specifically rules out anything less than 1.6°C. A more recent estimate (Annan and Hargreaves, in press) using multiple lines of observational constraints places the sensitivity well within the value estimated by the models (i.e. around 2 to 4°C).
Actually, I think it is quite easy to rule out a sensitivity as low as 0.5°C by considering the last glacial period about 20,000 years ago. At that time the temperatures were globally around 5 or 6°C colder than the pre-industrial, and the forcings (from ice sheets, vegetation, greenhouse gases and dust) are estimated to be around 6 to 11 W/m2 (a slightly broader range than I previously quoted, updated from some of the PMIP2 results). This implies a sensitivity of between 1.8 and 4°C for a doubling of CO2, with a most likely value of around 3°C. If however, the sensitivity really was as low as 0.5°C, that would imply that either the forcings estimates are 3 to 8 times too low, or the temperature changes are 3 to 8 times too high. Since around 3 W/m2 of the ice age forcing is directly related to greenhouse gases and is well accepted (even by Lindzen), it would require the ice sheets to impart an enormous forcing even to get anywhere near a level consistent with his sensitivity estimate. That does not appear even remotely plasuible. On the other hand, it is unlikely that we have mis-interpreted the proxy evidence for temperature since it comes from very many different sources – snow lines, foraminefera, alkenones, Mg/Ca, pollen records, ice core isotopes, speleothems, faunal assemblages etc. To be sure, some of these data do not completely agree, but none would imply that global temperatures were only 1.5°C cooler (which is the minimum that would be required).
In summary, Lindzen's testimony regarding on climate sensitivity is idiosyncratic at best, and certainly not supported by the literature.

NZXT LED light ropes
Looking for a sweet present for the modder in your life? Check these out! Released just in time for the holiday season, these LED lighting kits are great stocking stuffers!
Sold in 2 sizes 1 meter ($9.99) or 2 meter ($14.99), and sold in various colors (red, green, white, blue, orange)... you are sure to find a kit for the hardware mangler in your life...
NZXT officially calls these a "Sleeved LED Kit"... I'll call them light ropes.
Effectively what they have done is they have taken the guess work out of creating a flexible (literally) lighting solution that will create an emersive glow inside your computer case. The kit consists of a single black mesh sleeve, with a little hole heat cut through the sleeving for a 3mm LED to be pushed through. the stranded cabling used as wire offers a good amount of flexibility to the entire kit. the LED light line is powered off of a small PCB that is mounted on a back slot plate. It will effectively take up one back card slot off of your computer case. Impact may be minimzed depending upon your motherboard config and slot arrangement created by the case.
The card has two line inputs that are male/female matched jack locations. Friction clips on the connection will keep the joint sturdy and constant. One is for the pass through, 4 pin power molex input, while the other acts as the connection for the LED kit.
My main gripe with the kit is that they did not give enough space from the PCB connector to the first LED, which will inevitably leave an LED just suspended between the board and the computer case (or where ever else you are running the light). Ease of use is awesome, with a power button access at the rear of the case, and you can select brightness via a 3 position slider switch on the back plate (low-medium-high).
The cable length is adequate depending upon application and case size.
If you are looking to ring the outside of a mid tower case, 1 meter will not cut it. See here for a 1m kit installed into a Mid tower HAF 912:
You can see that the light starts from the back plate ares (see the floating blue light I talked about earlier?) fills the bottom with blue light.... comes up the front rail... and stops. Cannot go further.
Same test with a 2m light kit on the same case:
Here you can see the 2m makes a complete circle around the outter edge of the case, and fills it with light... top to bottom.
The kit comes with clips with adhesive backing (double sided foam tape) that is good for light duty tack, but not for long term sticking. If you want the line to stay permanently, you will want to remove this and replace it with a longer lasting adhesive ( 3M makes a clear tape called "VHB" which stands for "Very High Bond" that can readily be picked up at hardware stores - http://solutions.3m.com/wps/portal/3M/en_US/3M-Industrial/Adhesives/Product/Bonding-Tapes/VHB-Tape/ )
All in all, the colors were very nice, the LED's matched (same color temperature through out), the ability to set the brightness was a nice feature, and the pricing cant be beat. The solution allows the novice modder to get good color saturation into a case be it a small/ mini case using a 1 meter run, or a mid tower with a 2 meter length without using a concentrated location light like a cold cathode. Plus, the consume very little power, and have an extraordinarily long lifespan.
My minor gripes fall into the "floating LED" due to the length between the PCB connection and the first LED being too short (for some this will not pose a problem at all), and the power connector line being so short. For a cable freak like myself, pulling a power lead across a pristine case that is windowed is simply not an option. Thankfully, many cases are thinking more about cable management access holes in the motherboard tray, so that may be an option. If your motherboard tray does not have the holes, you are either stringing a line across, modding your tray with a hole, or modding the power molex connector so that it will reach the hole you want.... either way, it is a short cable!
If you want multiple colors, that is possible. However, you run the different light kit off of a different PCB due to the resistor configs needed for the different LED colors as well as different line lengths. You cannot run multiple lines off of one PCB, you will have multiple controller cards installed if you want multiple colors (meaning multiple slots filled on the back of your case *unless* you become an enterprising modder and figure out a good stable way to make them fit! ) . You cannot mix and match. Each PCB is marked clearly for which kit it is supposed to be teamed with.
As I said before... an awesome stocking stuffer for the modder on your list!
I like this solution!

Nice TD. I was curious about these but to see them applied to a case was a treat. I have no use for them now and really don't care if my case is flashy but that may change when my Lian Li PC-P50WB shows up.
While it would make no sense it would be neat to see a red and green Christmas edition released. I'm a sucker for the holidays.

Thanks for the review, TD
I love the look of the product, but you make a couple of good points about its downsides. I do kind of wonder how difficult it'd be for NZXT to create a similar product, but have a larger PCB and enable detachable LED cables. You could use up to four I'd reckon per device, and it would at least allow people some extra flexibility, and wouldn't require people to use two PCI slot spaces for two different kits.
Of course, that would arise the problem of clunkiness, so I am thinking other solutions might be better. How difficult would it be to make a simple base that clips to the bottom inside of your chassis, and then the cables could run from it (think like a small puck)? That way it wouldn't have to plug into the PCI slot, but would still have access to a Molex connector. I might not be explaining it well, and maybe it's not a good idea to begin with.
Everytime I see a product like this I wish I had a chassis with a clear window on it...

If i was still into colour modding... i'd rather get a CC tube, i prefer even colour over LED points. With the LEDs, you could achieve a semi-even look by placing them in a line of 3 side backed foil, so the light reflects inside the foil and released from the open side in a more diffused fashion. But you try and hide foil in a case, becomes a bit of an eyesore, lol.
Good review though, just contending with multiple PCB's would be a bit of a hassle without creating some kind of cage... maybe re-purpose an empty HDD cage or something to hold them... but there's a good chance that HDD cage would be the home to something else... like a water pump or its intended purpose, HDDs, lol.

@ Optix - I may oblige you on that one and just show you all what is possible and what it would look like...
@ Rob - The thing to consider is that each rope of LED's has a very specific prescription of voltage and amperage that the resistors are designed to allow. Different color LED packages require different arrangements of resistors to supply the proper power to the LED's. The *only* way that I see them doing something like this would be an over engineered board with some sort of channel monitor sensing the line as it is plugged in and setting the line levels to the proper voltage and amperage. I could see it screwing up the price tag on this in a "New York minute"! Your other ideas are good brainstorms with merit of their own.
@ Tharic-Nar - after having an inverter blow out in my PC and smoke up a LAN party I was at, I have sworn myself off of CC tubes... They are great light sources, but man o man... I do not like those inverters! I like the idea of re-using an empty hard drive cage. Same could be said for those floppy drive bays where nothing much resides anymore....
@ DarkStarr - I completely agree with you! chrome solves a LOT of problems!

Want more of The Opie Radio Show?
(P) and ©2016 XM
"Ramon, bring me a spoiled family photo"
you can compare them to stern, but the comparison ends quickly thereafter. howard's on his way down and these guys are just hitting their stride. instead of being centered around just one person (one person whose show seems now to only consist of whining a lot about how everyone stole everything from him), it's a freeflow exchange of ideas and the topics change rapidly. yes, it can be gross and it CAN be cruel occasionally, but there's no doubt it's a damn funny show too. add in a strange cast of peripheral characters, assaults on the media, homeless shopping sprees, cringe-inducing interviews (like when opie welcomed cindy williams to "has-been corner" - painful) and funny, funny comedians. you'll be amazed how fast 4 hours goes by.
"Podcast is best"
I have XM Satellite radio and can listen to O&A any time. I can't listen to the radio at work, so I end up missing bits and pieces of the show, and sometimes get too busy and miss a few days. By Audible podcasting the show I never have to miss a second of the show again. Nothing beats Opie and Anthony on my iPOD. Thanks Audible.
"The New Kings Of Radio"
Finally a show that let comedians shine. Opie & Anthony of XM are not intimidated of their guest talents, and lets them become part of the show.
Where else can you listen to 4 plus comedians go on a rant. If you were like me when I listened to Stern, all I kept screaming to my radio was "SHUT UP ABOUT THE F.C.C. AND SAY SOMETHING FUNNY.". But that was rarely fulfilled by Stern. With Opie and Anthony you are getting a fresh entertaining show everyday, and they are something Stern isn't anymore, RELEVANT. If you love comedy, you have to give Opie and Anthony a try, and I guarantee you will never change the channel.
"hoo,hoo,hoo Robin, I created everything, even boring radio." "I love Allison." You old irrelevant fool.
"Opie and Anthony is a great show!"
The term "shock jocks" is something that makes O&A shudder. Yes, they do some shocking radio from time to time, but they have much more to offer than that. They are more like a group of friends with really good sense of humor. You will never hear that "DJ Voice" from them. They speak in their natural voices and listening to their show makes you feel like your hanging out with some really funny friends. Even though they are free to curse as much as they like on XM radio, they don't abuse it at all. All and all it is a very funny show and as long as your not uptight, you will enjoy it.
"Well Worth Your Time To Listen..."
If you have never listened to O&A, please take the time and find out for yourself what has Howard Stern all worried. These two, along with various guests are what radio is all about. They may do some cursing, but the majority of the show is just like sitting around a garage with a few beers and some friends talking about the events that happen every day in our lifes. From catching mice around the house, to different opinions on dating, there is never a dull moment with these two.
"O&A Party Rock"
If your looking for brilliant radio personalities, these are the guys to get. From Ant's "Imus" impersonations to Lil Jimmy Norton's friend "Liddy" this trio will keep you laughing from the moment the intro music ends. Truly my favorite show be it TV Radio ect. these guys are the Best in entertainment. % stars cuz it's all I could give. WOW
I will not review this content. Instead I will inform you why you will enjoy the Opie and Anthony Show. To put it simply, it is entertainment. So, why choose to be entertained by these two people? They are a new breed of talk show that does not assume the audience to be dazzled by gimmicks. They also assume that you will not be offended by toilet humor. This is not what their show is about, however, it is a nice departure from sensationalism. You will walk away being informed of todays news. You will have stuff to talk about with your friends that will captivate them. New ideas that can stimulate conversation will start to roll off your tongue. The marriage of talk radio and Audible content has never been more profound. This is a new breed of entertainment. This, my friend, is Audible.
"The Best Radio Show Out There"
O&A is pure entertainment. If you want to listen to dumb stripers - knock yourself out and listen to boring Hoo Hoo Howard Stern... (there are no "holes" on O&A) But if you want to enjoy a show that's interesting, witty, and funny then O&A is the answer. Anthony does incredible impressions, Norton is really funny, and Opie keeps it all focused. One word of caution - the show is not for prudes, nor people who would sacrifice their values for political correctness. The commentary can be brutally honest at times.
"Better than Howard Stern by far"
If you don't have the privlage of having an XM radio in your car, you're in luck. Since I've gotten XM I've gradually listened to Opie and Anthony more and more, to where now I never change the channel from them. They are the best radio duo by far. And Jim Norton, the third guy on the show, is the funniest person you'll ever hear. Do yourself a favor and give them a try, it will be the smartest thing you'll ever do. :::::WARNING::::: You'll laugh so hard you may soil yourself.
"Opie and Anthony ROCK!"
Hey if you don't have XM then pay the 70 bucks to enjoy great humor. The only way to describe this show is great humor---with a twist. If you have XM, enjoy O and A anytime you want. Have fun and enjoy, Punching out!

Academic advising is a crucial element of
student success.
The prescribed four-year course load at the
College of Liberal Arts and Sciences is five to six courses per semester
(15–18 credits). Some students will take only four courses per semester,
especially during the first year. However, to meet the minimum academic
requirements of 120 credits, a student must average 30 credits per year.
Courses taken during the summer or January term can help to contribute to this
Full-time students may register for up to 18
credits per semester. Those students who receive permission to carry a
course overload will be charged per credit hour for all course credits over the
normal course load of 18 credits per semester.
In order to be considered
full-time, a student must be enrolled in at least 12 credits per
semester. Part-time students must be enrolled in at least 9 credits
per semester.
College of Liberal Arts and
Sciences undergraduates may enroll in CAD courses and certain graduate courses
if they have fulfilled the appropriate prerequisites. Some courses (such a
certain graduate counseling courses, or upper level photography courses) may be
limited to program participants.
Yes, students can receive academic credit for
an AP exam on which they scored a 3 or higher on studio art exams and 4 or
higher on all other AP exams. In order to process these credits, the student
should bring an official score report to the Academic Advising Center if the
scores were not sent with the original admissions materials. If a student is
unsure of whether or not he or she has received credit for an AP, the student
can check his/her transcript on MyLesley or schedule a meeting with his/her
academic advisor.
Some high schools have partnerships with local
colleges or universities and offer college-level classes to high school
students. Students may be able to receive Lesley credit for these courses,
provided that they received a grade of "C" or higher. Please see the Advising
Center for more information. Students need a course description and an official
transcript from the college or university in order to receive Lesley course
Students entering the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences who meet the
appropriate requirements are invited to enroll in the First-Year Honors
Program. Entrance to the program is based primarily on a student's high school
record. The First-Year Honors program includes a set of linked liberal arts
courses taken in the first semester.
The Self-Designed Honors Program,
open to current Lesley students with a high GPA who exemplify the values of
Lesley, includes self-designed honors-level experiences incorporated into
existing courses, independent studies, and seminars on topics of interest
identified by honors program students. Information about the First-Year Honors
Program and the Self-Designed Honors Program may be obtained from the
Director of the Honors Program, Michael Illuzi, at
617.349.8257 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Professors usually
list their preferred method of contact on course syllabi. Students should first
try to email the instructor at the address provided and/or call her/him at the
number on the syllabus. Please note that not all faculty are on campus every
day, so allow a few days for a professor to respond.
Students should
also visit the professor's scheduled office hours if possible. If it is a
time-sensitive issue and the student cannot get a hold of a professor, the
student should contact his/her Advisor or a member of the Academic Advising
Center staff.
During the first two weeks of the
semester, first semester freshmen may add or drop courses with an advisor's
approval, as long as they remain enrolled in enough credits to maintain
full-time status. Second semester freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors
may add or drop courses on their own on LOIS
but are highly encouraged to consult with their advisors before adding or
dropping a course to ensure timely graduation. Course changes made during the
Add/Drop period will not be reflected on the student's transcript. If students
are planning on adding a course, they should do so as soon as possible to avoid
falling behind in coursework. Students may not add a course after the Add/Drop
After the Add/Drop deadline, students may see their advisors
to withdraw from a course with a grade of a "W." If a student feels that she/he
is in danger of failing a course, it is better to withdraw than to receive a
failing grade. A withdrawal will be reflected on the student's transcript as a
"W" grade and the student will not receive credit for the course. However,
withdrawing from a course will not impact a student's full-time status, as the
"W" grade acts as a placeholder on the transcript. For example, if a student
enrolled in 12 credits decides to withdraw from a course, the student is still
considered full-time.
After the Withdrawal deadline, which typically
falls about five weeks before the end of the semester, students will receive a
letter grade for the course, even if they stop attending. Please refer to the
Academic Calendar
for Add/Drop and Withdrawal deadlines for each semester.
Yes, students can retake a course if it is offered again. When
a student retakes a course, the new grade will replace the failing grade in the
student's GPA. The original grade will still remain on the transcript, but
successfully retaking the course shows an effort on the student's part to
Mid-semester evaluations offer a valuable
opportunity for faculty to provide feedback regarding individual student
performance in their courses. Faculty use the Mid-semester Evaluation to call
attention to a student who is having academic difficulty so that the student
can take steps to improve. Faculty may also use the forms to encourage a
student who has been working hard in a class, or to praise a student who has
shown exceptional progress in a course. If a student receives a mid-semester
evaluation, it is important that she or he contact the faculty and her/his
advisor to establish a plan for the remainder of the semester.
In order to remain in good academic standing,
students must earn a GPA of 2.0 or above. See the Academic
Catalogue for specific details regarding Academic Alert and Academic Probation.
Please note that some scholarships may require a minimum GPA in order to retain
Class designation is
determined by the number of credits a student has successfully completed – not
the amount of time he/she has spent at the university. The guidelines are as
Courses taken during the January term are considered part of the Spring
semester and are open to all College of Liberal Arts and Sciences students who
have completed the appropriate prerequisites. The credits for these courses go
towards the total maximum allotment of 18 credits per semester. If a student is
enrolled full-time for the Spring semester and does not exceed a total of 18
credits for the Spring, then there is no additional charge to take a January
term course. Students needing housing accommodations should contact Residence
University offers a select schedule of summer courses. Please visit LOIS
(www.lesley.edu/lois) to view summer course offerings. Summer courses are not
included in tuition for the academic year.
Students who plan to take courses at other
institutions must come to the Academic Advising Center to fill out a Transfer
of Credit Approval form before enrolling in the course. If the course is being
taken to fulfill a requirement within the major, students should bring this
form and a copy of the course description to the Division Director for
approval. If the course is being taken to fulfill a general education
requirement, the student should bring the course description to Diep Luu, Director of Academic Advising, for approval.
Courses must be taken at an accredited college or university, and the
student must receive a grade of "C" or higher in order for the credits to
transfer in to Lesley. Upon completion of the course, students must send or
bring an official transcript from the institution where the course was taken to
the Academic Advising Center.
Students planning to withdraw from the University should make
an appointment with the Director of Academic Advising, Diep Luu. They also will need to complete a Change of Status Form,
which can be found in the Academic Advising Center. Students should be sure to
check in with the Library, Residence Life, Student Accounts, and Financial Aid
to avoid unnecessary charges.
Occasionally it is determined that a student needs to
take a semester or two away from the university due to personal, family, or
health issues. Students should only take a Leave of Absence if they intend to
return to the University to complete an academic program. Please see the
Academic Catalogue for more details regarding the circumstances of a Leave of
To request a Leave of Absence from the University, students
should make an appointment with the Director of Academic Advising, Diep Luu. They also will need to complete a Change of
Status Form, which can be found in the Academic Advising Center. Please note
that students may not matriculate at another institution while on a Leave of
Absence from Lesley University.

AUDIO: Hamilton confident in Danny Salazar
(Cleveland) - 23-year old Tribe flame thrower Danny Salazar gets the start tonight.
The Tribe battles the Tampa Bay Rays in the American League Wild Card game at Progressive Field. The winner goes to the American League Divisional Series, the loser starts the off season.
Salazar, a strong-armed righty, burst onto the scene for the Indians this year. Tribe play-by-play man Tom Hamilton told 'Wills and Snyder' that Salazar is mature beyond his years.
Hamilton says Salazar does not act like a rookie, showing a great amount of composure on the mound.
Hamilton has faith in Salazar, citing the success of then-21 year old Jaret Wright who had a stellar outing in game-7 of the 1997 World Series against the Florida Marlins, a game the Tribe lost in crushing fashion.

Star jewels helped me with choosing a gshock riseman watch. The local store here was useless. They did not have the watch, could not be bothered to order it and had NO information on this at all. 1 call to star jewels after an online search and not only did I get all the info that I was after, I also got the lowest price and got delivered the next day. They have my vote for the best online store!
- Kel, Geelong
Top marks to Star Jewels. 3 orders placed to date and all arrived the next day. After sales service for a watch that was damaged (by me) was handled very well. Wish there were more online companies like Star.
- A Jennings, QLD
The only place to buy G-Shock watches! Star Jewels have really good prices and the delivery is the best.
- Michael, Perth
I checked out prices online & Star Jewels were offering better prices for the Citizen watch I wanted than shops who were supposedly having a sale. I ordered the watch on Sunday night & it arrived on Tuesday afternoon & I was able to check via Australia Post on progress with the delivery, Fantastic delivery service & I wanted to say thank you. I will definitely be an ongoing customer & will recommend your shop to my friends. Thank you.
- David Rivett
Far beyond exceptional service.Extremely fast and secure delivery .The after sales service is exceptional.
- Greg Williamson
Thank you Star Jewels for your prompt service. After my daughter went on holidays to USA and was told she could get Chamila charms but could not find many, she came home to Newcastle only to find 1 shop 1/2 hour away stocked them. We are very pleased to have found Star Jewels, they give excellent service and prompt delivery. Will be using them again.
- Leone Farquharson.
We usually call Star Jewels up with about 2 - 3 hours of notice before a presentation and be it 10 watches or a few diamond necklaces, they never let us down with their service. I highly recommend using Star Jewels.
- Linda Nichols
I do a LOT of online shopping and Star Jewels is in my top five favourite stores. Every contact with them is friendly and helpful, and their speed of order fulfilment and delivery is incredible.

I now own 3 G Shock watches and I will only buy them from Star Jewels. Unlike other internet sellers, Star Jewels have the individual watches in stock, so you don't have to wait for the seller to order the watch in. Delivery is very speedy... I receive the watch the next day. And the prices are terrific.
Well done Star Jewels.
- Dennis
I bought a Citizen Mens Dress wrist watch BM8475-00X at a price quite a bit lower than I had seen in jewellery shops in malls. Not only that, it was post free.

- Robin Henry
I am a regular shopper on line and ordered a new timex watch for my son during the click frenzy sale at star jewels. Of all the orders placed, yours arrived first & packed securely.

- Amy S, Glenelg
The only place to buy gshocks. Always the best price and the stuff arrives quick.

I just want to say how wonderful you guys are and he was so impressed with your help and i am very grateful as well! Much appreciated and you will be receiving repeat business from both of us from now on.
- Yves T, Sydney
Superb service, I was originally hesitated in ordering a watch online. Though with all this many contact avenue, and very fast response and friendliness/understanding. Star Jewel makes buying a watch online painless.
Most watch came at a very good price for an australian authorized dealer (i have checked with the manufacturer). One of the best online shop around.
if only there is a downside is that they do not offer return/pickup service (say warranty purposes).
Happy customer
- Levan Rianto
My sister recommended your site she buys every kind of troll bead and knows them by name so I thought I would join and be a customer. Our store in Chadstone has closed down and moved to Northland. So this is the best way I can buy what I want, it's fantastic thank you Matrona
- Matrona Moraitis
Thank you Star Jewels for delivering superior service!! Your staff were extremely helpful and went above and beyond to ensure the overnight shipping guarantee. The prices are great and I will definately be buying from Star Jewels again. Thanks!

I've been dealing with Star Jewels for some while now and have purchased a number of watches through them.
Their price, service and delivery are always simply the best.
If you are thinking of buying a watch online (often a worrying prospect) you can trust them implicitly.
Check their price first and see if anyone can beat them. I'll almost guarantee they can't.
Buy well, buy Star Jewels.
- Peter Winwood (Adelaide)
Excellent service and great prices. Items arrive the next day. Perfect.

I would like to thank Star Jewels for the excellent service they have always provided with my purchases. The most recent experience was with a limited release Citizen Dive Watch that I have been waiting for a while to come into Australia. I was dealing direct with Deepak from Star Jewels who kept me informed on the outlook/arrival. As soon as it arrived I had an email sent to me directly. Within 24 hours it was at my door step. Excellent service/communication, I highly recommend Star Jewels and I can tell you I will be back in the future. Thank you again!

I ordered a Citizen Eco drive diver's style watch on the Monday of QB weekend 2015. It was delivered to a PO agency on the Friday [That was confirmed in a telephone call I made to Keshan, the PO A owner] (that is remarkable service). ... I still have to pick it up as I was busy Saturday but I think it rather likely that they have sent the right timepiece. Now this watch was not available a the normal places like Bevilles and so on... so that is Double the service. !! Moreover I had a couple of emalls answered very quickly by Deepak - one I sent on the Sun !! of QB weekend was answered on the holiday Monday - or even late Sunday night - I forget now. Tim F from Caulf. Sth Melbourne.
- Tim Fidler
Just received my new seiko in rapid time even though I am remote WA. Massively impressed with the excellent comms from Raj and would be happy to recommend and buy from them again. Many thanks.

I ordered two items, a watch and a pocket knife. When they arrived I had been sent the wrong pocket knife. I contacted their office and they immediately sent me the correct item, with a return post pack for the incorrect item. I found their service excellent and would recommend them.
- Michael, Sydney
I ordered my watch Sunday evening and it was received in country SA on Thursday morning. The watch was well packaged and I am extremely pleased with it. Great site to deal with and great service.

Wonderful service when I ordered over the phone, and I couldn't believe how quick the delivery was.
The watch was beautifully packed and I would recommend this company to anyone...Thanks
- Fiona Weir
Rarely does honesty, integrity and efficiency meet in business. But they have here. I purchased from Star Jewels and they could not have been more helpful, more efficient or more compliant than they were. Thank you Deepak for making this a seamless. worry free transaction.
- Rob Hauer
You can not judge the quality of a companies service until a mistake occurs. I ordered a watch from Star Jewel and the incorrect model was supplied. I rang Deepak, he accepted my word and apologized. I returned the incorrect watch at their expense and the correct one together with a small present was then supplied promptly. I would recommend this company to anyone.
- Peter Gordon
good transaction , very satisfied , fast shipment . Thank you . To the next for a new deal
- Diana
Just received item Harley-Davidson Mens watch black...

- Trevor D Brine
Star Jewels are helpful and professional and go out of their way to solve problems. More retailers should follow suit.

text: Here's one for the FSU "Trash Can." What has Mira Leung been up to since her days as a competitor? And what is Mother Leung doing to occupy herself without Mira to coach (and Joanne McLeod to argue with)? She was one of ladies skating's more unusual semi-stars. Not unlike her onetime rink-mate Emanuel Sandhu, she followed the beat of her own drummer. Some called her the Elvis Stojko of the ladies event, but she turned out to be a bit more complicated than Elvis. A major issue raised about Mira in the press was how controlling her mother was. This is a common theme in the sport, but Mrs. Leung caused unusually large headaches for coach Joanne McLeod. From 2006-2009, Mira's career involved getting fired yearly by her coach. Her skating itself was interesting for her jumps, particularly the bizarre take offs that Dick Button seemed to find bemusing. She had abundant athletic talent. She is also the only senior lady I know of who angered her federation by showing off her granny panties to judges at a grand prix event-- along with moth-eaten tights with holes in them. http://www.iceskatingintnl.com/images/sk8can/sk8can 2006 leung fs.jpg 2005 Skate America FS https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FetL75tuGT4 2007 Canadian Nationals SP https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFR3-ND-8Qg 2008 Canadia Nationals SP https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=35xm5q6Ssto She is young for a retired skater (if she is officially retired), and I wouldn't be surprised if she is in school or now figuring out her next move. It's good to see she was as of 2010 continuing to capitalize on her name recognition in Canada. Mira was in a 2010 fashion benefit for heart disease, and this time not exposing her underwear. http://www.skatetoday.com/2010/05/24/mira-leung-brings-red-to-the-runway/

Pushrod length
This adjustable pushrod checker should get you the correct length pushrods. COMP Cams Hi-Tech Pushrod Length Checking Tools 7702-1 - SummitRacing.com. The stock flat tappet pushrods are 7.800". OEM roller cam uses 7.200" pushrod. Retro roller cam uses 7.300" pushrods. Most aftermarket heads use +.100" longer pushrods. This pushrod checker is 6.800" - 7.800" so it covers them all.
If the lifters are the same as the OEM hydraulic rollers, you'll be in the 7.2" range. IIRC most others are in the 7.3" range. But Crane uses very short p-rods for some of their hydraulic roller lifters and cams (just over 7.00").
If you know the brand of the lifters you can research it from that, or by measuring the distance between the p-rod body and rocker arm, then adding the depths of the cups. This will get you a ballpark figure to work with to make a tool.
Other things that can effect p-rod length is the valve length and cam base circle diameter, so you will need to mock it up once you get a ballpark figure to work from. A couple pages that will help:
• Adjusting hydraulic lifters
• Valve train points to check
• Valve train geometry
• Valve spring installed height

Pushrod length
Looking for a little info concerning push rod length. Assembling a 383 sbc that has had both the heads (AFR) and block resurfaced. How much was taken off I am not completely sure of but I do know it was a minimal resurface cut. I am also using a very thing gasket, FelPro 1094 at 0.015" compressed thickness. The last kicker is that I will be running a retrofit hydraulic roller cam with retrofit hydraulic roller lifters. Now these lifters are higher than the hydraulic flat tappets so I have read that the use of a shorter pushrod is mandatory. Also the fact that I have had both the block and head resurfaced and running a thin head gasket would mean I would need a shorter pushrod yet. I will most likely end up buying an adjustable pushrod to verify proper pushrod length, I just don't know what numbers I will be looking at and which adjustable pushrod I will need?

Chasing Kallen
Book by: Deathstix
Status: Finished
Genre: Young Adult
Chapter1 (v.1) - Chasing Kallen
A short man with a straight, clean face and a nice suit leaned close to Barbara with a serious look as he asked her questions, "You are 21."
"Yes, sir."
"By the look of it you rated top in your photography class during your years at Levua University, correct?"
"That's correct, sir." Barbara clumsily pulled out a folder from her bag next to her, accidentally spilling the contents on the red floor, "Oh, I'm sorry!" The man sigehd heavily and buried his face in his hands. "Uh, heres a few, uh, pictures I took when I was in class." The man snatched th pictures and examined each one with a tight mouth and a slight nod, " Your good. We want people like you (but, with better loooks) to work here." He threw them back at her and dialed a few numbers on his phone which lay on his glass desk before him, "Stacey? Call the "Hotty'." he hung up quickly and, taking out an expensive black perfume bottle from his desk, sprayed it on himself in huge quantities. "'H-Hotty'?" Barbara asked uncomfortably as she shifted in her seat with a worried look.
"Well, yes. See, "Hotty' is short for 'Kallen Hanzter'."
The short man dropped the bottle he was holding and reached out fo Barbara rapidly, "Don't tell me you don't know who Kallen is." Barabar fearfully shook her head and watched as the individual in front practically began to yell, " Kallen Hanzter is the #1 hottest male model in our industry. He's the diamond on a gold $10,003,567 Tiffany ring! Without him, 'Rebel' will be nothing but ruins!!"With a quick, terrified glance up, the man whispered in a low voice, "He's coming, I hear his footsteps! You get over there in that corner and act normal. Don't move or say anything unless instructed to."
The short man rushed to the door and opened it with a flamboyant expression on his face. As he waited for Kallen to enter, Barbara couldn't help but wonder what was it about this 'Kallen' that drove everyone insane. Her nerves began to build up and sudenly exploded when a man entered the office.
He was tall, about 6'5" with a skinny pale body and a thin, clean face. The man's lips seemed smooth and his hazel eyes scanned the room with a strict glare around. His hair (which was straight and black) matched perfectly with the elaborate punk outfit he wore. Barbara's eyes widened at how handsome this being was that her mouth widened and the saliva, unintentionally, rose to her mouth.
"Jessy, you called me right in the middle of my shoot. This better be good." The short man named Jessy nervously fixed his tie and pointed to Barbara who fidgeted with her brown, paper bag. Kallen gave a look of disgust and continued in his seductive, Brittish accent, "What is that."
" 'That', Kallen, is your new photographer. She'll be working with you starting tomorrow." The model smirked at Barabara who seemed astonished at not only getting the job, but also being able to work with a hot male. "She won't last, " He chcukled with a rude glance at Barbara, "She know nothing about fashion or I doubt has even put make-up once." Jessy tried to calm his model down with a soothing voice " At least she's not like the other 4 you had before. She's...different."
"Oh, I know she's different." At this, Barbara shot up from her seat and bit her lower, chapped lip nervously, " I-I may not look like an expert at all, but, I am. Just give me a chance to show it."
Jessy gave Kallen the puppy eyes who, in turn, crackd his knuckles and sighed heavily, "You need to educate yourself first, girl. A photographer who knows nothing about their model is worthless." With that, the grand model turned and left the room. As the tensions and anxiety slowly dissapeared, Jessy turned as well and walked back to his desk quietly. Barabra, who felt bad for talking when not instructed to, started to apologize heavily, "I'm so sorry, i should'nt have spoken, it's just-!"
"You did a good thing. I'm actually suprised that you would talk up to a man like him." Barbara fixed her glasses with a small smile, "Really? Wow."
"See, Kallen is the stubborn type and -I'm sorrry to say- you're going to have to put up with that for a long while." The photographer nodded and kept a mental note of that, "He said," she began, "That I should be 'educated'. What exactly does that mean?" Jessy shrugged with a small laugh, "Isn't it obvious? He wants you to know about him first before you start your job. A photographer or whatever has got to know about the model or you'll be lost." Barbara nodded with a determined look in her eye, " So, it's just like pressing 'Google' right?"
"N-never mind." The geeky photographer began to thank Jessy and leave, but he stopped her halfway out the door. "Are you married?"
"Excuse me?"
"Are. You. Married."
"No...I mean," Barbara swallowed and began to slowly drift away into her own world, "He hasn't asked me to marry yet, but he must sooner or later because he likes me, right?...He...he has too..he said so when he asked to live with me. But, words are useless without action," The woman's eyes popped out of her head, "He's never kissed me though we've been going out for 5 years. He's never once told me he loves me, just 'I like you'. He's never invited me anywhere except at his work so I could help him woth his papers. he's-"
"Probably using you" Jessy finished as a matter-of-factly and watched as Barbara's eyes swelled up with tears, "I thought he thought me pretty." Jessy, who had become involved in this issue whioch he had no business of intruding upon, asked for a picture of Barbara's boyfriend. She wiped her eyes and handed one she kept well protected in her worn out wallet. After half a second, Jessy gave it back with a shake of his head, "Oh, honey. He's using you."
The photographer wailed at this and was asked to leave his office. "Don't forget!" a high voice said behind her, "Research him ot your out!" Barbara, with tears in her eyes, nodded and closed the door sobbing.

An Overview of Sustiva (Efavirenz, Stocrin)
August 23, 2013
Brand Name: Sustiva
Efavirenz can cause serious, life-threatening side effects. These include serious psychiatric problems and liver problems.
Contact your health care provider right away if you have any of the following symptoms that may signal psychiatric problems:
Some people taking efavirenz have experienced serious liver problems. This usually occurred in people with a chronic liver disease (such as hepatitis infection), but there have also been a few reports in people without any existing liver disease. Tell your health care provider if you notice any side effects while taking efavirenz.
Women should not become pregnant while taking efavirenz and for 12 weeks after stopping the drug. Serious birth defects have been seen in the babies of animals and women treated with efavirenz during pregnancy. Whether efavirenz caused the birth defects is unknown.
While taking efavirenz, it is important to keep all of your appointments with your health care provider.
What is efavirenz?
Efavirenz is a prescription medicine approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of HIV infection in adults and in children 3 months of age and older who weigh at least 3.5 kilograms (7 pounds 12 ounces). Efavirenz is always used in combination with other anti-HIV medicines.
Efavirenz is a type of anti-HIV medicine called a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI). NNRTIs work by binding to and blocking HIV reverse transcriptase, an HIV enzyme. This prevents HIV from replicating and lowers the amount of HIV in the blood.
Efavirenz does not cure HIV/AIDS. It is not known if efavirenz reduces the risk of passing HIV to other people.
What should I tell my health care provider before taking efavirenz?
Before taking efavirenz, tell your health care provider:

|(i've started wearing eyeliner and eyeshadow!)
Thanks for following my process as I become a working mom. Remember when I wrote this cry for help? Best thing I ever did! Here's what's happening now:
My internship at New York Family magazine is going really well. What do I do when I'm in the office? I've been blogging for the New Parents Expo here and tweeting for it here. It's been exciting to be apart of the process of putting on a massive expo. It's all going to come together October 15th-16th. Almost here! I've also been helping my boss Rebecca anywhere she needs me. Assisting her by making copies, organizing info in spreadsheets, and (my favorite) representing the magazine at events around the city here and here. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that a position will open up for me at New York Family magazine after my internship is over.
Most of the next info is vague, because I'm not sure how much I'm allowed to divulge yet. But I thought you'd like to know!
1. In the last month, I've been offered two paid writing gigs from two huge websites. I'll go into more details as soon as I know more.
2. I've signed with a major ad network so I'll be making a little extra money off my blog soon. I'll keep you posted.
All good news. I can't wait to start making MONEY!

"I wouldn't have believed a card could make people so happy but everyone here was stunned by how great these cards looked. Previously we bought our cards from the big guys and we were so unhappy with the cards. We feel so lucky we finally found Tiny Prints. Outstanding company. We wish all our business suppliers gave us such a great product at such a great price with great customer service!!! We can't wait to get more cards!!! Thanks Tiny Prints!!"
"I love these business cards! They have the perfect touch of simplicity yet are also unique at the same time. I will be proud to give these cards out to friends, relatives, and business professionals. Overall, I'm very pleased with my order! Thank you."
"The design was super easy to edit to reflect my contact information, and leave off what didn't apply (no job title, no fax, no headings on the back) They come in a nice sturdy little box to keep the cards neat & clean!"
"Loved this design, so made it mine by the easy personalization process. I received so many compliments passing these out at a recent conference."
"Card compliments the stickers and address labels I ordered nicely. Wish I could have gotten the same design for the card as for the stickers and labels, but it was not an option. Print could be a bit more crisp."

Dr. Charles Browne, the EnglishCentral pedagogical advisor, recently gave a talk relating the importance of learning high frequency vocabulary through authentic video. Here's his presentation and notes. Lots of sterling ideas.
Plenary Address:
Comprehending Authentic Video: The Importance of High Frequency Vocabulary
Although there are now many online resources for accessing authentic video in and out of the classroom, this presentation argues that the gap between the average vocabulary size of typical EFL language learners and the amount of vocabulary needed to comprehend those videos is usually quite daunting. In this session, the presenter will begin by developing the argument for the importance of teaching high frequency vocabulary, citing some of his background research on the serious vocabulary gaps that face EFL learners in Japan. After a discussion of the differences between high frequency vocabulary needed for proficiency in reading and that for listening, he will then describe the theoretical underpinnings of several online tools he helped to develop for assisting students to be able to better comprehend unsimplified videos (as well as many freeware and shareware equivalents).
