iPad Tutorial – Education at its Best
iPad tutorials as a means of an instrument for training is fast taking conventional practices in totally new directions, especially in the education and instruction context, for example providing interactive lessons and giving freedom from having the burden of carrying heavy bags full of textbooks.
Small Beginnings
The Apple iPad continues to dominate the market. The Pew Research Center [www.pewinternet.org] reports that close to 25% of American adults own tablets and of these, 52% are using their prestigious Apple iPads to access the Apple iOS platform using its ultra-fast wireless.
Apple recently launched tablets which use the much enhanced iOS 6 platform to deliver increasing improvements in technology. iPad owners are desperate to own these new tablets with their advanced technology, not just to experience and enjoy the functionality, but also to be able to join the iPad fan club.
No one can avoid noticing how much tablet technology is changing the world and its ever increasing thirst for music, films, news, information and communication while travelling. These easy to use, low cost devises are becoming predominant and individuals are being presented with new opportunities to change conventional practices and succeed in their own environment.
Edification Means
Technology advances are also leading to changes to the traditional ways of instruction and education. The advances delivered by iPad tutorials are quickly being adopted in schools and colleges by both teachers and students, leading to an enhanced and enriched way of engaging students and challenging the traditional approach to learning. The introduction and use of iPads are having a dramatic impact on the student demand for access for information, with research, facts and learning being increasingly sourced from the World Wide Web.
Increasingly, schools are issuing Apple i-Pads to enable students to access interactive course lesson plans in order to prepare and complete the coursework which the teacher shares with the whole class by projecting from the devise. Additionally, these devises replace not just the classic textbook, but also the note pad and pen by enabling the student to record notes electronically and undertake research during the class. All this can be backed up securely through the i-Cloud, perhaps heralding a 'paperless' environment in education. Students will finally be able to shrug off the load of carrying numerous heavy textbooks from lesson to lesson and be able to rely on a small, light devise!
Novelty Adaption
Technological advances have led to the iPad moving from being regarded as a novelty to becoming a highly valued aid to teaching and learning; it has been implemented in an innovative way to become fully integrated into teachers' tutorial and lesson plans.
I-Pads can be adapted to suit student and classroom type and teaching methods, enabling both students and teachers to realize the benefits delivered by this technology. Teaching applications, technological power and learning management systems (LMS) have been powerfully combined to provide a platform for improved educations experience and outcomes.
You never know interactive lessons combined with freedom from carrying heavy bags full of textbooks may be good for everyone!

Back to School Bargains… @ Your Library!
September 5th, 2012
I love bargains; the cheaper the better. My wallet is a virtual potpourri of store cards, loyalty vouchers, clipped coupons, and bonus bucks. I scan the newspaper for yard sales and know when the local thrift shops are having Half-Off Saturdays. Anything I can do to stretch my dollars a little further, sign me up.
Like a lot of parents, Back To School can be especially challenging for me because it means spending a little more to stock up on everything from juice boxes to cool sneakers. Thankfully, it's also a major sales time with huge banners splashed across storefronts luring me in with promises of savings. Clearance! Everything 50% Off Storewide! BOGO! B2GO! (Do most of us even know what that means?) And like most parents, I go where I can get the most bang for my buck. For that reason, my favorite store card is from the Cecil County Public Library.
No, I'm not going to find the latest fashion trends stashed among the bookshelves, but the library offers one-stop shopping for everyone in my family and almost everything is FREE. Obviously, there are tons of books but they also carry current DVD titles from Hollywood blockbusters to popular TV series, exercise videos and travel documentaries. The music CD collection is extensive; whether you prefer Pink, One Direction, The Beatles or Blake Shelton, CCPL covers a wide variety of musical choices. You can catch up on current events with regional and national newspapers, check out video games and magazines for all ages or download titles to your eReader…all with a library card.
From infants to teens, CCPL branches are offering tons of fun, free programs this season, including Halloween crafts, family movie nights, LEGO challenges, and pajama storytimes. Explore outer space, learn about bees and make bottle cap jewelry. Working on a school assignment? Did you know that you can access the Internet using our library computers for up to 2 hours a day, six days a week? Or if you have a laptop, we have free WiFi. And homework help is just a click away through the CCPL Digital Library with tons of databases available 24 hours a day.
For Mom and Dad, why not tackle that project youve been putting off all summer? From DIY home improvement books to step-by-step auto repair instructions available through the CCPL websites Online Resources, theyve got it covered. There are computer classes, cooking demonstrations, and gardening presentations at the local branches. Or maybe youd like to become a genealogy detective: trace your family roots through Heritage Quest on the CCPL website or sign up for our first ever Cecil County Genealogy Symposium to get you started on your own personal history. You can even get your resume reviewed or start a small business, all through your local library.
If youre like me, Back To School means that my kids are busy, my days are crazy and family time is even more important. As a parent, I love the fact that one card gives me access to so many resources that all of us can enjoy, and it even fits into my budget. And occasionally, when I bring home a stack of movies or CDs from CCPL, I get to be the cool mom and that is priceless.

Original Version
Dear EE,
Can true goodness exist outside fantasy? Can it even exist there? [You're a day late if this is your all-questions query exercise.]
Stacey Chambers wishes her life could resemble the lives of the heroes in her favorite stories. Unfortunately the path to goodness always seems to elude her. When this introspective under-grad is shamed with legal troubles, she escapes in Probation: The First Saga of OniRue, [She escapes? Clarify.] a new anime series shown in reverse-chronological order. [The entire series is in reverse chronological order? So technically, this is the last Saga of OniRue.] [Is the first line of the book "The End"?] [What do you mean, "shown" in reverse order? Is this a book or a film?] [I think you should completely reverse the order of the sentences in the query.] [This is gonna annoy those people who always read the end of the book first, when they find out you've given away the beginning.]
In Probation, Takara is probated from her demon-hunting clan for showing gratitude towards Nanashi, a half demon who saves her life. [Could you define "probated"?] Niceties to demons [and half-demons, apparently] are punished by probation and exile, regardless of circumstance.
But no punishment can dissuade Takara from using her training to rescue the land of OniRue from the evil demon king. She travels to his castle with Nanashi and the monk Makoto, [Change their names to ShaNaNa and Tomato, and you have a winner.] both of whom fall in love with Takara and work to convince her that the other is unworthy of her love. [When your only suitors are a half-demon and a monk, it's time to consider lesbianism.] When Takara learns Makoto is right and that Nanashi has been working for the demon king all along, she knows the penalty for Nanashi's deception must be death. [She knows this because it already happened back in chapter 1, thanks to everything being in reverse chronological order.]
Instead of being the real-world equivalent of a monk [which is . . . a monk,] or a demon huntress, Stacey is a convicted drunk driver, and on top of that, a liar. Her dad was killed by a drunk driver, and her mom would disown Stacey if she knew about the arrest, so Stacey hides it from her. She also keeps it from her boyfriend Mike, who expects perfection from her despite his own disregard for rules and laws.
When Stacey fails and both Mike and her mom find out about her arrest, she hides from their anger in new episodes of Probation. [Hey! What happened to Tomato and ShaNaNa?] [What do all these people have to do with the land of ObiWan?] But when she learns her cousin has been having an affair with Mike, she knows hiding is no longer an option and that comfort will only come after imposing the ultimate penalty. [Which is killing them all?]
Probation: The First Saga of OniRue is my first novel and is complete at 99,000 words. It's half commercial fiction and half fantasy, with the chapters alternating between Stacey's story and the reverse-flowing episodes of Probation. Though it stands alone it is the first in a planned series, the second of which is in development.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
So the only connection between Stacey and Takara is that Stacey read about Takara in a book? That's not good enough. This is two books.
I think you need to make it clear why the fantasy book is backwards. Backwards is confusing enough, but mixed in with a frontwards book . . . I enjoyed Memento, but it took some effort to follow it, and if after every scene they'd edited in a scene from The Dark Knight, my head would have exploded.
I was going to suggest focusing on one story line or the other, but I suppose it'll go badly if an agent is expecting a story of redemption and every other chapter is about demons and castles, told in reverse chronological order. Why not make it two books? They'd both be short, but as you're planning sequels, you should have enough material to expand each of them.
Terms like "in development," "new episodes," "shown" and "new anime series" make me think TV show. And since anime is Japanese animation, that's what most will think. But I don't get the impression this is illustrated or in screenplay format. Is this supposed to be made into an animated series? The part about Stacey doesn't strike me as anime. Not that I know anything about anime.
What do those questions at the beginning have to do with anything?

EE is correct, the transition isn't working. Sooo often if one stretches out into new structures never before known to mankind, the readers get lost.
- MeganRebekah said...
Most of these crazy query letters actually make me want to read their books - just to see what in the world the authors are talking about!
- 150 said...
I get the impression that the anime is in there to illuminate Stacey's story, in which case Stacey's story could stand on its own--so the exact contents of the anime aren't important to the query letter, just its presence. My vote is to focus on Stacey.
I also sort of question just how much of Probation is necessary to get your point across; you might look at other cases of "play within a play" to get some idea of relative time allotted. I'm not sure how many readers of commercial fiction would appreciate the fantasy interruption, and vice versa.
Take out those rhetorical questions; they add nothing.
Consider making Probation a novel or presenting it in script format; otherwise there might be a serious gap between how the reader perceives it and how a viewer might.
My recommendation is to make the query exclusively about Stacey, play up her conflicts, and only mention Probation in the last sentence when you explain the format.
(What percentage of the book is Stacey and what is Probation? Can you crunch some numbers for me?)
I gotta ask. Are the next installments of Probation going to be sequels or prequels?
I guess, in short, I'm leery about this, and the query needs to make it sound awesome enough to overcome my trepidation.
- Eric P. said...
Yet another plot that would be handily improved by the addition of a Mole Man. Only in the real-world bits, of course.
- Dave Fragments said...
What ever happened to "Tomato and ShaNaNa" instead of Fay Wray? Now that's classic EE.
I can't even envision an answer to the rhetorical question: "Can true goodness exist outside fantasy?" That's the danger of opening with a rhetorical. If the reader doesn't understand the question...
I also don't quite understand the relationship between the real and the fantasy worlds. One has to take precedence over the other. And by that I mean that one story is the prime story while the other is merely its reflection for dramatic purposes.
What is "The Ultimate Penalty" for infidelity when your boyfriend is sleeping with your cousin? (Indonesian women specialize in not-so-delicate removal of a body part. Indonesian doctors are the best at reconstructions.) (Last girlfriend that I cheated on slapped me, threw a drink in my face and called me naughty names.)
- Neelloc said...
You've misused the word 'niceties.'
From www.thefreedictionary.com:
1. The quality of showing or requiring careful, precise treatment: the nicety of a diplomatic exchange.
2. Delicacy of character or feeling; fastidiousness; scrupulousness.
3. A fine point, small detail, or subtle distinction: the niceties of etiquette.
4. An elegant or refined feature; an amenity: the niceties of civilized life.
[Middle English nicete, silliness, exactitude, from Old French, silliness, from nice, silly; see nice.]
- _*rachel*_ said...
This is pretty confusing; neither story really seems connected. Now, if you had one character go into the other world, or both were actually the same person, I'd understand a bit better.
Oh, and I move you just call it fantasy, because the people who will be most interested are those who like swords and magic, not stupid boyfriends and car crashes.
Also, explain the backwardsness/illustrations/weird format clearly.
- Kelsey (Dominique) Ridge said...
When you said she escapes in the series, I thought you meant something along the lines of vegging out in front of the TV screen. You're saying she morphs into the episode? If that's the case, then you've got to tell me how that happened. There were a few other things going on that we're exactly clear, but I think EE hit them rather well.
- talpianna said...
It SEEMS that this is supposed to be something like THE NEVERENDING STORY, in which the character escapes from life into a fictional world; but it's not working for me--or, apparently, for anyone else.
About telling stories backwards: It works brilliantly in THE SCOLD'S BRIDLE by Minette Walters. It opens with an old woman being found dead. From then on, chapters about events proceeding forward in a normal manner are alternated with excerpts, starting from right before her death, from the victim's diary. The last page of the book is the first entry in her diary--and it explains everything.
- Adam Heine said...
Point one: If it's animated, it's called anime. If it's in comic book form, it's called manga.
Point two: If the anime/manga story is just a reflection or mirror of what's going on in reality, then this is a dangerous story to tell in that I think a lot of people will be put off by it (unless it's done extremely well).
People who want to read about Stacey and her problems will be jarred by the interspersing of fantasy and demons (esp. of a Japanese flavor).
Fans of anime will be jarred by the fact that nothing weird happens. They'll be expecting (as a lot of us were) that Takara will suddenly jump out of the pages, or Stacey will be sucked into Takara's world, or something.
This goes for The Never-Ending Story too. The story wasn't just a reflection of real-world events, but the boy became part of the story. The world's collided in a very real way.
If worlds collide in your story, make that clear in the query. If they don't... well, all I can say is it doesn't sound like something I'd want to read.

Is Stacey a minor? If so, how does she conceal her arrest (and probation?) from her mother?

When the weather warms, many look forward to enjoying outdoor living spaces. There's a growing trend of moving the indoors outside—creating outdoor living spaces that directly emulate an indoor kitchen, family room or spa. Ultimately, your outdoor living space should be about creating a good environment where you, your family and your friends can connect, and one that enhances your lifestyle.
Here are a few style tips to think about as you seek to create the outdoor lifestyle that's right for you, courtesy of, Fiberon, a manufacturer of composite and PVC decking, railing and fencing.
Go for practical glamour: There are so many options for decorating an outdoor living space, so go for items that not only look good but will actually be used. Don't invest in a fancy wrought-iron side table that will get hidden in the corner of your deck; instead, put your budget towards bright outdoor throw pillows you can scatter around to make your space more comfortable and inviting.
Investigate durable, lasting outdoor options: There are myriad choices now for outdoor living spaces, from furniture and décor to the actual decking and railing material itself. Take the time to investigate options thoroughly, considering not only your budget, but the way each option looks now, how it will endure over time, cleaning and maintenance, and any sort of associated warranties or guarantees. The last thing you want is wood patio furniture that falls apart after a season or a new deck covered with mold and stains by next summer.
Get online and create an "inspiration file": Do a Google image search on "decks." Visit magazine websites and home stores' online catalogs. Print or save the images you like into a file and take note of the specific elements that attract you to that image, then brainstorm how to replicate that environment in your own outdoor living space.
Fiberon has created an online "Inspiration Gallery" that showcases deck builders' creations. You can add these images in your own "Inspiration Book," a personalized reference gallery can even be shared with others. Visit www.fiberondecking.com and click the "Inspiration" tab.
Beautiful, durable decking can be the palette for creating your perfect outdoor living space. If you've decided that you'd rather spend more time enjoying than maintaining your deck, it's time to investigate composite and PVC options, including those with durable surface technologies that improve durability. With these surface technologies on Fiberon Horizon composite and Sensibuilt PVC decking, there are no worries about fading, stains or scratches as with some wood-alternative decking products. Plus, they're the only alternative decking products with a limited 20-year stain and fade warranty. The Horizons line now includes popular hardwood look options like Rosewood and Ipe.
If you create an outdoor living space that reflects your style and personality, you will enjoy relaxing in your backyard for years to come.

The nation's best baseball players love nothing better than to surround themselves with other outstanding ballplayers. This weekend in San Diego, top outfield prospect David Dahl will be given that opportunity.
Dahl, who will be a senior this fall at Oak Mountain High School in Birmingham, Ala., will be in San Diego from Thursday through Sunday with 45 other top prospects in the class of 2012 to take part in the Perfect Game All-American Classic presented by Rawlings.
"I love going down there and meeting everybody, and I know most of them through all the other stuff I've done, but I look forward to seeing everyone again," Dahl said in a telephone conversation Sunday from his home in Birmingham. "It is exciting, being with all the good players who will be there."
Dahl is ranked the No. 13 top prospect overall and No. 3 outfield prospect in the country. He is one of three Alabama prospects on the All-American Classic East Team roster, joining right-hander/outfielder Jameis Winston from Hueytown and right-hander Tucker Simpson from Oxford.
"It's a great honor to be selected," Dahl said. "Seeing all the past players that have played there and seeing all the great players who will be there (this weekend), I'm really excited to go out there and try to my best."
Dahl, a 6-2, 185-pounder who bats from the left side but is a right-handed thrower, has had an eventful summer, and not necessarily in a good way. Just as his summer season was hitting full-stride, he was diagnosed with mononucleosis.
He said he started getting headaches and felt like he was tiring easily while attending the Perfect Game National Showcase in Fort Myers, Fla., in mid-June. From Fort Myers, Dahl traveled to Cary, N.C., to take part in the USA Baseball Tournament of Stars trials, but that's when the mono really nailed him. He was able to stay for only five days of the two week event.
After being sidelined the entire month of July, Dahl took part in last week's East Coast Pro Showcase in Lakeland, Fla., and showed he was starting to bounce back from the illness.
"I felt pretty good about how I played there," Dahl said. "For coming off mono, I thought I did really good.
"I think I'm getting close," he said of his recovery. "I was probably about 80 percent (in Lakeland) and I got tired pretty easily, but I'm getting better every day, I guess. I'm feeling a lot better now."
Perfect Game national scouting director David Rawnsley identified Dahl as the No. 2 top position prospect at the event, and concluded he is "a solid defensive player with advanced, aggressive offensive tools" who used his speed and strong arm to patrol the outfield effectively.
"On offense," Rawnsley reported, "Dahl hits with a sound, balanced stance. His quick and short hand path creates good bat speed while a level swing plane allows him to deliver line drives to the gaps."
In an interview with the Birmingham News for a story published Aug. 2, Brian Breeze, Dahl's coach at Oak Mountain, said Dahl has been put in a terrific position by being selected to play in the PG All-American Classic presented by Rawlings. Dahl has also played in seven PG WWBA tournaments and two PG-East Cobb Invitationals since 2008, in addition to this summer's PG National Showcase.
"I think these things are going to give him an opportunity where pro scouts are able to see him. I think it will truly help him in the draft," Breeze told News reporter Solomon Crenshaw Jr.
"I think that David is a very talented player," Breeze continued. "First round? I don't know. I think it's a possibility he could be a high draft pick. I think that's a very good possibility for him. He's a five-tool athlete (and) he can do a lot of things."
For his part, Dahl is more focused on his final season of high school baseball than he is on the draft.
"I really want to go out and have a good senior year and have as much fun as possible," he said. "I'm really excited for the high school baseball season to start. I don't really think about (the draft) much. It's too far away."
Dahl carries a 3.4 GPA and has verbally committed to play collegiately for head coach John Pawlowski at Auburn University, just more than a two-hour drive from his home in Birmingham.
"I've grown up an Auburn fan, my family is Auburn fans, and I've always gone to football and baseball games there," Dahl said. "The coaches there are great, and they have a plan and they're putting that plan in place."
Before his final high school season, before the 2012 MLB First-Year Player Draft and before enrolling at Auburn, Dahl will be making the trip to San Diego. In addition to the game itself – to be played Sunday at 5 p.m. (PDT) at PETCO Park and televised nationally on the CBS Sports Network – the players will visit Rady Children's Hospital and the Miramar Marine Base in San Diego.
"I look forward to that a lot, and I've heard a lot about that," Dahl said. "It sounds very exciting and eye-opening, being able to go to all those places."
The game itself, of course, will also be a point of interest.
"I'm just going to try to go out there and have as much fun as I can," Dahl said. "If I play good, I'll be very happy, and if I don't I know it will be against the best players in the country, so there's nothing to be worried about."

Aberlour Distillery
Aberlour Single Malt Whiskey
Aberlour Distillery was founded in 1826 in the town of Aberlour in Scotland's Speyside whiskey region. It sits on the northern edge of Ben Rinnes Mountain which accumulates snow and rainwater across its peaty moors and supplies cold, soft spring water to the distillery. Around a half of the spirit produced from Aberlour's four copper stills is destined for single malts, including the popular Aberlour A'bunadh batched single malt whiskey matured solely in ex-sherry casks. Aberlour offers distillery tours and the distillery is an established participant in the popular Spirit of Speyside Whiskey Festival.

Gift Guide: For a New Yorker's Sweet Tooth
When shopping for food gifts you need to keep a few things in mind. The gift in question should:
- Keep well
- Be durable enough to stand up to the occasional mad shopper jostle
- Be something that's easy to love
Perhaps the easiest way to answer those concerns is with dessert, and if you're shopping for someone with a sweet tooth, New York's many bakeries, sweet shops, and specialty stores have you covered. Here are some stocking stuffer ideas to get you hungry.
There are many places to buy cookies, but Levain Bakery's massive and well-loved specimens are some of the most distinctive. You can get them at the bakery's Upper West Side and Harlem locations or online, where a gift box of four cookies goes for $27 plus shipping. That's a lot, but bear in mind that each six-ounce cookie is really the biomass of four lesser cookies, and they keep well enough to arrive in peak condition after shipping. Plus: keep an eye out for more cookie recommendations next week.
Chocolate, Bars
There are plenty of chocolate makers in New York, but Red Hook's Cacao Prieto makes some beautiful—and delicious—bars, $10 for 4.2 ounces online (retail prices vary). The chocolate is buttery smooth with clean, natural cocoa flavors. Crunchy additions like cashew and dried cranberry or pistachio and apricot are done well, not just distractions from supbar chocolate. (And if you're shopping around, their cacao nib-infused rum is aces, too.) For made-in-not-New-York chocolate shopping, The Meadow has the best selection of bean to bar chocolate you'll find in the city. They ship, too.
Chocolate, Fancy Things
If your gift recipient is into fussy, fancy-looking desserts, La Maison du Chocolat is basically the fancy, fussy-looking gift bag they've been waiting for. Elaborate sweets like this edible pistachio and chocolate sculpture await inside, $8 to $9 apiece. Though hardly a value, Maison du Chocolat uses excellent chocolate as their base, and any restaurant pastry department would be lucky to produce fancy stuff like this.
Chocolate, Candies
A wide category with plenty of options, but can I suggest chocolate-covered bacon or pretzels at Roni-Sue's (be sure to check out their new shop) or beer pretzel caramels from Liddabit? Or kick it old school with the honeycomb sponge from 85-year-old Aigner's or top-notch peanut butter cups from Jomart.
All of the above take online orders for shipping.
Brownies (and Cakey Comestibles)
Cupcake (and brownie, and whoopie pie) ass-kickers Robicelli's just opened their Bay Ridge bakery (more on that here) and sell their wares elsewhere around the city as well as online. Beer brownies, Scotch, walnut, and espresso brownies, cajeta and cinnamon brownies—they have 'em all. The cupcake flavors go into even bolder territory.
Speaking of affordable, portable, cake-like things, I'd be remiss to ignore the incomparable chocolate babka from Breads Bakery, which is about 50% butter and 50% chocolate. It's a hefty loaf with tempting tear-apart braids that will set you back ten bucks, not a bad deal, and way better than giving a fruitcake.
If pretty in pink is what you're after, and for a beautiful stocking stuffer it may, Ladurée has our vote for the best macarons in town—just stick to the classics like caramel and stay away from the overly perfumed flavors. Macaron runner-up La Maison du Chocolat also makes some excellent versions, all with chocolate if you swing that way.

Serena Rettenmaier necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 84 diseños de 21 diseñadores freelance.
Stitch 360
We are a small company who have developed a new camera rig for the Film, TV & Advertising Industry. We all work in the Film/TV industry so know what the market requires. We aim at creating an efficient, cost effective, no fuss process with a high level of quality and a fast turnaround.
We are predominantly targeting Advertising Agencies, Post Production Companies, TV Production Companies, Freelance Producers and Production Managers and Print Advertisers. We are also interested in attracting other companies who advertise their products online and digitally in retail stores
We want a simple, sharp, memorable logo design to be used on business cards, letterhead, in newsletters and company advertising.
We want it to reflect our aim ... no fuss, efficient and effective.
Would be good to see a couple of options, using colour and another just and white tones. Something to relate us to film, TV and the 3D world
Perhaps something that relates to stitching images together in a circular motion, hence the company name STITCH 360
The typeface should be clear, simple and bold. We want something that stands out. Nothing too fancy and elegant
The logo should not be cartoon-like, it should be smart and sleek
The files we will require are:
Print file format - .ai (CMYK)
Web file format - .jpg and layered .psd (RGB)
Please do not use any stock images or clip art in the logo
We look forward to seeing the designs! Thank you for your efforts.

Boasting a strong personality, a fierce will-to-win and talent aplenty, Chile international Arturo Vidal has been making a splash ever since bursting out of Colo Colo's youth ranks in 2005 at the age of 18. The versatile midfield man continued to enhance his reputation still further afield two years later, as a key member of the Chilean squad that achieved a best-ever third-place finish at the FIFA U-20 World Cup Canada 2007.
From there the upward progression continued for this imposing and steely performer, who earned a move to German outfit Bayer Leverkusen, established himself in his country's senior side and played an influential role in a La Roja squad that qualified for their first FIFA World Cup™ since France 1998. His subsequent displays at South Africa 2010 and during the 2010/11 season in Germany, where he was voted into the Bundesliga's top XI, led to a prestigious switch to Italian giants Juventus.
Having helped his new club claim the Scudetto unbeaten in his very first campaign, as well as being voted into Serie A's best XI, Vidal's next main aim on the international front is to ensure Chile reach Brazil 2014. On all this, as well as the current state of Chilean football and his own career ambitions, Vidal spoke exclusively to FIFA.com.
FIFA.com: Would you agree that you're part of the best generation of Chilean players of all time?
Arturo Vidal: Yes! There have been very good players that have emerged at various times in the past, but there have never been so many at the same time. There are a number of us that are doing well both in Europe's major leagues and in the national team, which is something new for Chilean football. It makes me proud to be part of this process.
Do you think this group of Chile players has had the recognition it deserves?
(After a long pause) In Santiago people say that it's been a long time since a Chile team has got as good results as we've had over the last few years. We're just trying to savour it all, while also doing our country as proud as we possibly can.
After a 12-year absence from the FIFA World Cup, Chile reached the Round of 16 at South Africa 2010, only to fall below expectations at the 2011 Copa America. What's the next objective?
To qualify for the next World Cup of course. And once that's secure we ought to aim really big, by which I mean going for the title. South Africa was the first time [at a World Cup] for us all, and what an experience it was. But when it comes to Brazil, we should approach it with a different mindset.
There are a number of us that are doing well both in Europe's major leagues and in the national team, which is something new for Chilean football.
You sound convinced that Chile will qualify for the finals in 2014…
I'm convinced that we have a good enough team to do that. We can't dwell on the very painful [3-1] defeat against Colombia [in Santiago]. We need to stand back and take stock of the whole view. And that view would be positive. We should not forget we were leading the standings in these qualifiers. The squad's goal is to get back into the top three and stay there to the end. This group of players are mature enough and have been proving just that.
That said, there have once again been disciplinary problems in the camp. Is that the main issue that this group of players have yet to resolve?
(Thinks carefully) It's a subject that's been spoken about a lot. Football gives you so much and not everybody can handle it. You need to grow up as a person and, because of the position you're in, sometimes you have a duty to set an example. But that's not an easy task because to do that you need certain qualities that only come with time.
Dealings with the domestic press haven't been easy either, have they?
A number of factors have had an impact on that. On the one hand, the Chilean media are always looking for details on what goes on away from the pitch. And on the other, Chilean players tend to be quite shy, which makes them even more nervous about speaking [to the media] and instead prefer to shut themselves off to avoid getting into trouble.
If you want to perform in leagues like the Bundesliga or Serie A you have to have something that sets you apart, and in my case part of what makes me different is my temperament.
Yet you seem to be quite a different sort of character. Why do you think that is?
Yes, that's right. It's something to do with your background, because at first all you think about is being successful and only later do you start to grow up as a person. Living in Germany and now Italy has helped me become more mature, to think things through better and express myself more appropriately.
You also seem to be a calmer performer out on the pitch. So, looking back over your career, do you think your fiery temperament has been more of a help than a hindrance?
A help! Without that temperament I don't know if I'd have been capable of being successful outside of Chile. If you want to perform in leagues like the Bundesliga or Serie A you have to have something that sets you apart, and in my case part of what makes me different is my temperament.
Has it been hard to keep your temper under control?
Maybe early on, when I was playing for Colo Colo. That was the period when I put most work into that aspect of my game, particularly by watching videos of my matches. But once I moved abroad I'd already calmed down.
Back then with Colo Colo you had current Chile boss Claudio Borghi as your coach. Has his coaching style changed much since he moved from club to international football?
Claudio is still the same as he always was. He's someone who's very approachable and who gives us a lot of freedom – in the best sense of the word! There aren't many coaches who have such a way with their players, which proves to you what kind of player he was on and off the pitch. His approach brings us closer together.
You've been asked to play in a number of different positions for Chile: in central midfield, out wide, just behind the forwards and even as a libero. Where do you feel most at home?
It's no secret that my position is a central midfielder with license to go forward. That's where I've played my whole life and where I perform best. I like to be able to see the whole panorama, get plenty of the ball and be part of the transition between defence and attack. But, let me stress that I don't have a problem with changing position to help out my national team or club side! And I do my best to try and adapt as quickly as possible.
Do you think you're in the best period of your career?
I think so. Things went well for me in Germany but I'm now playing for one of the world's most historic clubs, we just won the title unbeaten and I'm fulfilling both my own expectations and those of the people who brought me here. In terms of the affection I'm held in, I'm experiencing something similar to what I went through in Chile, as the fans here are always showing me their appreciation. Even so, there's always room to keep improving.
Are you surprised by how well Juventus are doing?
I was aware when I joined that the team hadn't been getting good results, but I also knew I was signing for a European giant. When I agreed the move I did so thinking we could turn things around and fight for the championship, and that's how it turned out. It didn't take us long to realise that we were capable of lasting the distance, though I do admit I was surprised we finished unbeaten. The Italian league is very difficult.
Do you think the team's capable of defending their title or will the focus be on winning the UEFA Champions League?
I think that the players we've brought in make us stronger than we were last season, so we're capable of defending the title and having a good Champions League campaign. Let me correct myself, at a club like Juventus you have to aim to win every competition!
Would you fancy trying your luck in England or Spain in the future?
I've not thought about it. I repeat that I've very happy here and if I had to spend the rest of my career here I'd do so gladly.
And finally, does football make you happy? Are you still in love with the game?
Of course I am! And I hope to stay in love with football for the rest of my life. Not only is it what I do best, it's also something that brings me happiness every day.

Architecture film series looks at Eames, Shulman, Herzog and de Meuron
This year's Architecture+Design Film Series is already half over, but some of the more interesting titles are yet to come.
The action picks up tomorrow night at the Denver Film Center/Colfax with "Visual Acoustics," a documentary about photographer Julius Shulman, whose mid-century building shots helped some of modern architecture's most famous believers get even more famous.
Shulman photographed the work of Wright, Neutra and others, but the scene everyone remembers is his 1960 shot of Pierre Koenig's Stahl House (or the Case Study House #22) jutting out over a Los Angeles cliff.

|United States of America
|Group Members:
|Sandra St. Victor , Jerri Mcghee
The Family Stand consists of Dallas, TX, native Sandra St. Victor, Jeffrey Smith, and Peter Lord, a native New Yorker. Lord and Smith originally answered to Evon Jeffries & the Stand, and recorded under that name two years prior to becoming the Family Stand. Though they have three albums to their credit, their biggest fame has come from "Promise of a New Day," a tune co-written with Paula Abdul and sung by the former Los Angeles Lakers dancer. Jacci McGhee replaced St. Victor on Connected, their latest CD, released in 1998. St. Victor left to solo, coming out with Mack Diva Saves the World on Warner Bros. The members have played with the top names in rock, Smith on the saxophone player. Lord, a vocalist and keyboardist, earned a degree in musical composition from Howard University and played with bands from the D.C. area. Returning to New York, Lord teamed with Smith and produced and wrote for Miki Howard, the Mac Band, Donna Allen, Good Fellaz, Will Downing, Corey Glover, and Ali, to name a short list. St. Victor attended the University of Kansas and studied classical music. Moving to New York, she became in demand as a vocalist on the road and in the studio working with Freddie Jackson, Roy Ayers, Chaka Khan, Nile Rodgers, Kashif, Glenn Jones, and others. The Family Stand's first LP, Chain, produced the single "Ghetto Heaven," a favorite in discos; none of the Atlantic LP's other songs' "Sweet Liberation," "In Summer I Falled," "Chain," or "Twisted," broke out. A second LP, Moon in Scorpio, appeared on East West Records, but had too much rock and not enough soul for urban listeners and failed to register; they didn't release another CD until 1998, the much ballyhooed Connected, on Elektra/Asylum Records. The album loses the tripping acid sound and delves heavily into the brand of soul that made the '70s musically exciting. When it didn't sell, Elektra released them at their insistence. During the six years between albums, Lord and Smith added McGhee and concentrated on writing and producing. Don't be surprised if the Family Stand rises again, it's hard to keep a good, talented group down. ~ Andrew Hamilton~ Rovi

Ok, So my pictures don't really have any relevance to this post! I decided to do my hair a bit different again, Gosh I'm getting experimental! I was actually inspired by a picture I think I saw on Victorias blog, I cant actually find the post in question, So I may have dreamt it! But who knows! Its basically a half braided, half down look, It reminds me of those awful haircuts "edgy" girls seem to have at the moment where they shave half their head? Personally I think my version is much cuter, (big headed much?!) and I will not have to suffer the laughable regrowth that those with half shaved heads will have to endure!
Anyhoo, Onto the important stuff! I almost forgot that my blogiversary (sp? blogaversary? I dont know!) today! LLYMLRS is officially one who year old! I cant believe I've actually be posting consistently since then. Id defiantly say over the last 6 months I've really found my blogging niche. If I was to describe LLYMLRS, It would be a fashion and lifestyle blog about a "normal" girl, who's a "normal size" buys "normal" clothes!
Personally I find it really rare in fashion blogs that girls are of a normal everyday-girl-on-the-street size, as a size 10, 5ft5, wide hipped, small chested, chunky thighs, too many lumps and bumps in the wrong places girl myself, I feel that I don't really fit in the fashion blog niche! More and more I see big fashion blogs are often restricted to girls who are stick thin, uber tall and super rich. I find myself being drawn more and more to the blogs that are done by girls who don't fit into the stereotypical "Fashion blogger" category! Do you guys understand what I'm trying to get at? I'm not hating girls who do have blogs like I described, It just feels a bit too unrealistic for my liking, Its not like I'm ever going to be able to drop £200+ on a single item of clothing!
I just want to say thank you so much to all my wonderful followers. Reading all your comments, emails and your blogs make me so happy. Getting feedback on something I really genuinely enjoy doing is just amazing. Your support is really overwhelming! Lets hope this keep going and hopefully growing for years to come!

I'm not sure what to make of the big surprise on "General Hospital" this week – but then again, I haven't known what to make of GH in a very long time (years, actually). Robin Scorpio is alive – and looking very tanned and rested, I might add, even if she is being held hostage in something resembling a hospital room.
Seeing Robin in that bed at the end of Monday's episode was the first time GH has really "wowed" me since that unforgettable moment in May 1980 when Edward Quartermaine sprang back to life after faking a heart attack and shocked his
Even though I haven't cared for many of executive producer Frank Valentini and headwriter Ron Carlivati's storytelling choices, it has been a sweet treat to see so many fondly remembered characters from General Hospital's past return to its canvas.

"From ghoulies and ghosties
And long-leggedy beasties
And things that go bump in the night,
Good Lord, deliver us!"
Traditional Scottish Prayer
After watching this year's Emmy Show I was surprised with how out of touch I have been with network television. I do have a few guilty pleasures on the small screen especially now as the days grow shorter and the weather becomes crisp with the promise of snow in the air. Two favorite shows of guilty pleasure are the Science Fiction channel's GHOST HUNTERS and GHOST HUNTERS INTERNATIONAL. I tell myself I am only watching for ideas for paranormal plots but the truth is I want to believe there is tangible evidence of the paranormal. Though I have no supernatural abilities myself I do remember when I was 7 my father turning white at my brother's christening party and my mother being scared. I later learned, while in the kitchen getting ice my dad was confronted by his mother, except my grandmother had just died two short weeks before. Seems she had come back to see that my baby brother and my family were fine before she could pass over.
On my first visit to Scotland back in 1994 I had planned to visit Roslyn Chapel near Edinburgh after reading THE SWORD AND THE GRAIL by Andrew Sinclair. I was fascinated with the then belief of the chapel's connection to the Knights Templar and the Holy Grail. After at least a week of tromping through graveyards looking for lost ancestors my husband willingly agreed going the Chapel would a nice change of pace. Unfortunately it didn't turn out that way for my husband. We entered the Chapel and I was hit was a major sensory overload as to where to look, but after a while I realized my husband was nowhere to be found. I walked outside to find him smoking, weird because he had given it up years before. I asked him to come back in, as I wanted to show him the death mask of Robert Bruce but he refused. I could see he was upset so thinking I could come back later for a church service we left. Finally that night he admitted that he felt while in the chapel as he if he was being chocked and pushed to a dark corner of the chapel. He didn't get relief until he left the chapel. Since then, I have returned four more times over the years, but he has flatly refused to not only to go in the chapel but refuse to enter the grounds.
Scotland rich in Celtic legends of fairy folk, brownies, kelpies, and witches is a vortex for all kinds of paranormal activities from ghost sightings, to hauntings, to Nessie and even UFO's (Scotland has more sightings than anywhere in the world). As we approach the final month of the Celtic calendar I wanted to share two of my favorite haunted places in Scotland:
"Bluidy Mackingie, come oot if you daur, left the sneck and draw the bar."
Greyfairs Kirkyard and the Covenanters Prison:
I first visited here in 1994 on my first trip. Having been raised on all the old Walt Disney movies of the 60's I had to see where the famous Greyfrairs Bobby was buried. For those of you who don't know about this wonderful dog, when his owner died he would sneak into the Kirkyard and lay upon his owner's grave. He was chased off daily but because of his unique loyalty to his owner even in death, he was cared for by the community and allowed to visit his master until he too died. In great Disney fashion, Bobby was buried near his master and the children of the US pooled their money to have a special monument erected for just for Bobby. At the time I first visited one couldwalk the grounds even in the grounds of the Covenanters Prison (17th century), which was turned into a graveyard.
However, all that changed in 1999. As the story goes a vagrant had somehow gotten into the Kirkyard, which was normally locked in the evening. Thinking to find a warm place to bed down for the night he entered George Mackenzie's Tomb.
Unfortunately while in the tomb, the vagrant fell through a floor in the tomb and landed on a mass grave of moldy bones, which were later determined to be plague victims. Scared out of his wits the man fled the tomb scaring the night watchman who heard the commotion. It was later learned that the vagrant had opened one of the caskets in the tomb probably looking for grave goods and in doing so it is believed he unleashed the spirit of Mackenzie. From 1999 forward over 400 members of the public have been attacked while on the Prison grounds. These attacks have included pushing, poking that left bruises and scratches, being knocked down and even knocked unconscious. Most of the attacks occur in or near the Black Mausoleum, which was once part of the prison but it is believed that these are the actions of the poltergeist of Mackenzie. The attacks have become so frequent that the Edinburgh Council has locked the Prison to visitors and is only opened for organized tours, which are not open to those with heart conditions or who are pregnant, those who are most often attacked. The mausoleum has been exorcized twice and one of exorcists died of a heart attack only two weeks after he performed the exorcism.
Hermitage Keep at Newcastleton, Scottish Borders... "SOD Off IN STONE"
The ruins of the Keep are a stark reminder of the type of stone keeps that scattered the Borders of Scotland from the 12th thru the 17th century Scotland. Though on the outside the keep seems to be in excellent condition, the interior has all but been destroyed by Border warfare and the elements. A keep or castle has been on the spot since the early 1200's and the occupiers have been both Scottish and English, depending on the ebb and flow of warfare on the Anglo/Scottish Borders.
I visited the Keep in 2007 because the third book in my Scottish trilogy is plotted here. If you remember my post on Black Agnes last month you might remember that the siege at Dunbar was saved by Sir Alexander Ramsay and Hermitage is where he met his demise. In 1338, Sir William Douglas of Liddesdale captured the keep from the English commander Ralph de Neville and the Douglas family took control of the keep and surrounding area. However, King David II had decided to reward Sir Alex Ramsay by naming him sheriff of Teviotdale including Hermitage. Enraged by the slight from his King, Douglas lured Ramsay to the Keep where he threw him in the dungeon, which was a dank place with no air or sunlight and eventually starved him to death. Some of the ghostly sounds heard by visitors to the Keep are believed to be that of Ramsay as he attempts to claw himself out of the dungeon. Douglas was later named sheriff and suffered no penalty in Ramsay's death. But Alexander isn't the only ghost.
From 1274-1328 the keep was held by one Sir William de Soulis, who was reputed to be a practitioner of the black arts and was able to conjure up his familiar on Robin Redcap to do his dirty work. Soulis was said to have lured young children of the district and used their blood in his horrific rituals. The community was so fed up with the knight that they petitioned King Robert Bruce to remove him from the Keep, but Bruce tired of their complaints replied…
" Boil him if you must, but let me hear no more of him."
The people did just as the king wished; they captured him, wrapped de Soulis in lead and placed him head first in a boiling cauldron and kept him there until he died. Many visitors today believe that when they here the sobbing of young children while in the Keep the ghost of Solis is nearby.
And finally, for those of you who are into the Vampire Diaries, True Blood or the Twilight saga you won't be disappointed to hear that Scotland has vampires too. Though I'm not a fan of vampire fiction I was surprised to learn that a vampire was sighted in the area around Lochmaben in Dumfries in recent years. Lochmaben once a keep of the Bruce family was the sight of a curse levied upon the Bruce family. In the 1200's the Bruces were forced to move from Annan to Lochmaben because of a flood. The story is told of a visit by the Irish monk, St. Malachy who asked Lord Bruce to spare a thief from a hanging. Bruce complied or so the monk thought but as he passed by Lochmaben he saw the same thief hanging dead and placed a curse on the Bruce family. A curse that was taken seriously as they dedicated land in Annan with its rents went to pay for the upkeep of the shrine of St Malachy at the Cistercian house at Clairvaux. However, the area was to suffer from the plague in later years and many believe the vampire is a result of the curse and plague. The vampire seen in recent years is dressed like a monk but they know he is present when they find dead animal carcasses devoid of blood. The Scottish Ghost hunter Tom Roberston, has encountered the vampire at Lochmaben and has photos of the vampire in his book GHOST HUNTER: ADVENTURES IN THE AFTER LIFE. For everyone who leaves a comment today you will have a chance to win a copy of his book.
But remember the words of Scottish writer J M Barrie..."A house is never still in darkness to those who listen intently; there is a whispering in distant chambers, an unearthly hand presses the snib of the window, the latch rises. Ghosts were created when the first man awoke in the night. "
