In this first lesson, Bob sets expectations and provides a brief overview of the upcoming series.
Oops, something didn't work.
w00w thank you BOB For Helping Us ....
YES!!! Nice to see Microsoft bringing Bob Back for another awesome video series!! Keep it coming Microsoft. Thank you BOB!!!
Wow This is nice. Thanks
Thank you Channel 9 and Bob (guru) for this wonderful series. This is what we web dev aspirants waiting for. We have just asked the HTML & CSS basics tutorials in the end of C# fundamentals series and you have given us the latest HTML5, CSS3 tutorials, really a wonderful opportunity to learn the latest so gonna be a visual treat for all of us.
@Channel 9 Team and Bob: Expecting JavaScript & jQuery Fundamentals: Development for Absolute Beginners !!
Great! I love Bob Tabor's video tutorials. Well done, and keep going.
great tutorial! thx
Bob where is your series of Javascript, I seach in Channel9 and not find anything.
bob you're the best!
Bob! You exist! Missing you from LVS .NET. Hope the new videos keep coming. Good to see teamwork videos
Wow, thanks for the warm welcome to everyone! Makes all the hard work worth it. Let me answer a few of the items mentioned above:
@skkywalkker: @Christian Bravo: re: JavaScript ... they will be available very very soon. I think the good folks at Channel9 wanted to space things out a little.
@straz: re: LVS ... (1) I'm waiting for VS11 to be officially released before I continue adding content. I've created videos based on Beta's before and inevitably something changes, and (2) I am working on architecture/patterns/practices/agile/scrum/DDD/TDD/SOLID series ... it is such a massive topic that I needed to really feel like I could command it, so I've been heads down for weeks / months on this.
Let Microsoft learn themselves about these fundamentals (in IE) before they teach others.
Great. I'm going to (re)learn! Thank you.
Very cool!
However, anyone using Windows 95 or XP will have a hard time trying to run internet explorer 9
salut  tout le monde
Bob Tabor, your videos are excellent as always. Thank you so much. Just one question... Is trainingspot.com having some kind of update? I'am trying to open the page but it doesn't work... Thanks.
Thanks for great series ...
Big mistake on using notepad You should've used something like Notepad2 or Notepad++ or PSPad. Other than that - great stuff
The reasons for notepad being a bad choice:
- No code highlighting
- Tabs are 8 spaces! omg!
Microsoft: please fix the above
Great article….!!!Nice to know about new things with helping concept. I am almost brand new to blogging and really like your post, it is really on target! Thanks for all of your time & work. Hope you always write this blog.
Thank you,
The given information is very effective.
I'll keep update with the same.
website designing
Great Resource! Now I can dive into HTML5! Thank you for you stunning work
Thank you for share yours professional knowledge.
Can you add subtitles for series video?
because my English listening is very bad.
maybe you can upload to the YOUTUBE .
I've been learning from Bob's videos via learnvisualstudio.net since 2002! He's a consummate professional and a very good teacher. Great to see you here, Bob!
Hi Bob,
have missed you on LVS but I can you have been spending your time productively, great videos, as always. Looking forward to the JavaScript ones, any news about when they will be available?
I wanted to thank all of you who said nice things ... you know who you are. Catching up with answers that require a bit more explanation ...
@Antonio: Server outage ... launching 2.0 tomorrow or the next day.
@pantera9: I don't think any of us are advocating you would use Notepad on a real project. There are too many great (and free) tools, even directly from Microsoft! But we wanted these videos to (1) have a long shelf life and not be impacted by different software versions, and (2) we wanted the barrier to entry to be extremely low ... I don't want absolute beginners to get stuck with installing anything more than what they absolutely must. The tools you reference are great! No "slight" intended, however they are not "Microsoft" and I felt like using them would trip up people who wanted to get started immediately. Hope that makes sense ... I beg that you overlook this and continue through the series -- I'm hoping it is useful to you!
@man: Please request that in the Feedback link at the bottom (footer) of this page. The more often Microsoft hears it, I'm sure they will make it happen. As you might imagine, there is a large cost (time, money) to add subtitles, but if they hear that request often enough Microsoft will make it happen (just my experience with peeps at Microsoft -- very responsive to what users want).
@Paul Moss: JavaScript / jQuery videos have just been published on Channel9:
Couold you add closed captions for those who cannot hear?
@Michael Burks: Make sure you request those sorts of things in the Feedback link in the footer at the very bottom of each page on Channel 9. The good folks at Microsoft more closely monitor those requests than here. Thank you!
I've never heard of Bob before and never visited this website before. Since I stumbled upon this series now it's my favorite place to be on the web until I've finished this course (and hope to finish many more) and absolutely love the way Bob teaches this and makes things simple and understandable. On a scale of 1 to 10 I think my knowledge was a small 2 and now I feel myself growing every day. Bob, if we ever meet, I owe you a beer!
@Bart de Vreede: I don't drink alcohol, preferring the sweet refreshing taste of an Orange Crush in a bottle. I'd gladly take you up on that offer if we ever meet ... glad to hear this is working for you and sincere best wishes as you continue through!
thank you Bob i love the way u teach , and also thank you channel9
Bob, many thanks for taking the time to create this series.
I'm looking forward to diving in!
Very useful videos to help me getting into this subject
@Christ: @natelawrence: @Werner: Thank you all for the kind words. Good luck!
So thank you Bob for this free course.
What I really do not understand is: why don't you post this course on your website? I am entitled to ask because I am a lifetime subscriber and there is no evidence of "latest" technology on LearnVisualStudio.NET since 2010.. maybe earlier.
Last VS course was about VS2010.
Last Web development: MVC3.
Last RIA course: Silverlight 4 Level 1.
You still have still a course "First impressions Visual Studio 2010 series". No Windows 8 development, no VS2012, no Silverlight 5, no MVC 4, no HTML 5.
If I am missing something, please, please, forgive me and point me to the right web pages on LearnVisualStudio.NET. But if I am right just tell me "a lifetime subscription was a mistake". I made a lot of mistakes (like everybody), one more just don't make a difference.
Again, sorry if I am wrong.
@AngeloChiello: Hi, I will post this on LVS soon and it will be free for all to see. It takes time to create the pages, upload the videos to a streaming server, and then money to stream it myself. Regarding, many of those technologies have been out less than a month or two. Visual Studio 2012 has been out for less than one week. There are no MVC4 books even available yet. Windows 8 hasn't been released yet. Patience, my friend. I'm just one guy, and I don't charge $20-$40 per month to hire dozens of authors (instead, I charge $50 for one year!). Each video series is lovingly crafted like an artisan crafts a painting -- deliberately, with passion and thought. I'll get to those topics eventually, but honestly? There will come a point (perhaps you're already there) where you'll outgrow what I can offer you -- or at least, at the speed you require it. Perhaps you're already there. Sorry if that is an unsatisfying answer. The fact of the matter is that these videos help me show the world what I do and allow me to stay in business. So much more I could tell you ... perhaps this would be a conversation better served offline. Feel free to email me personally. Thank you! -- Bob
I wrote you off line. I'd like to write here just that I know how good your videos are because I learned a lot from them but that was a long time ago.
@AngeloChiello: Please resend to bob at learn visual studio dot net ... I didn't receive anything from you -- I suspect you went through my normal support route which goes to someone who filters my mail. I'd love to chat further. Thanks!
@BobTabor:your instruction is top notch. Microsoft, you need this type of passion and talent. really excited about future videos Bob and team can deploy on wrapping a lot of the foundations here into server side asp etc. thinking of a video series "path to mastery" if you will.
Hey bob, i just want to start learning these tutorials,
i have one doubt that whether i learn html (4) first then html5
or should i directly start with html5 and css3.
@Amolak: My advice is to jump right into HTML5. In most cases, especially simple scenarios, you won't notice the difference. Just be sure to test your website in all browsers. It is an in-excact science, unless you have $$$$$ to spend.
@BOB thanx very much for Great Resource! your all video series are
great+= great;
I am your big fan.
Sir if it is possible please be more active on facebook. I want to be in touch with you on fb also.
Thanx again sir......
Great tutorial. I've read various html guides but this interactive guide definately works well. The practical nature of the sessions show that you can make something worthwhile with some simple html, and it helps to make the ideas and principles stick in the mind!
Hi Bob,
In this video,u have mentioned about image and property called alt:
what does alt refers to?
And you didnt show how it reflects on an image?
thnk u Bob ^^ i love the C# series and the WP7 Series and this Series too
thanks BobTabor.................
Greetings to every one.
I have just seen the first video of this HTML5 series and found it very interesting and usefull. I am very thankfull to Bob and channel9.
Keep it up Bob, you have done fantastic work.
Thanks again.
"alt" means "alternative" and this attribute is used as a precaution in  tag. If the picture that is refered in the image tag is missing or the location of picture is not properly given in the image tag then at this moment the string(sentence) written inside the alt execute.
Hope you understand.
Excellent Tutorial for Beginners..thanks a lot !
Thank you Bob for this great series. I watched Visual C# 2005 for absolute beginner earlier this year, and now I am watching this series.
I have 2 questions,Bob. I am just trying to use advice to be active learner
Thanks Bob, Really good tutorial and a nice place to start.
@annaqeeb: We wanted these videos to (1) have a long shelf life and not be impacted by different software versions, and (2) we wanted the barrier to entry to be extremely low ... I don't want absolute beginners to get stuck with installing anything more than what they absolutely must. If you are interested in other free tools, check out WebMatrix or Visual Studio 2012 Express for Web.
this really amazing, i really need that now
I'm impressed with your work. I'm very glad that there are people like you.
Thank you very much, Bob!
speak very good,But I come from China,Did not really understand
Hi Bob,impressed with your work and think that you have really helped all the beginners including me.
I need you to do me a small favor.I am a freshman and am unaware of what C,C++ and C# is.But I want to develop apps for Windows Phone using your beginner series.Can I begin straight away or should I first learn C and then proceed to app development for Windows 7.Also what are the prerequisites for Windows Phone development.
@Tanay Talesra: The Windows Phone series I created for Channel9 a few years ago is perfect for you. It starts by assuming you know absolutely nothing about C# and through 60+ lessons, gets you to the point you can build a small app. There are dramatic differences in C++, C and C# (despite their names). Personally? I think C# is the easiest. If you're going to pursue an Software Engineering or related degree, you probably should focus on C++ because you're probably going to have to learn it at some point. Best wishes!
you`r the man Bob
could you please be a little simple in your language
my english still so bad
and i`m looking for total understanding as my total admiration of your great effort with us
thanks man
@asas: Sorry, sometimes I forget I'm speaking to a global audience. Thank you for your comment.
I know English bad, too =( If you could add a subtitle, that would be great.
Hello, thank you so much! I really like that, you explain well and also i understood everything well.
will this html5 and javascript fundamental tutorial help me in microsoft certification(html5, css3 and javascript)
@Anshu Mishra: Coudn't hurt. Seriously, they were not designed for that purpose, and I've not taken that exam myself so I really can't comment on their worthiness in that regard. Let me know if they work for you. Good luck!
Thank you a lot. i will participate
Hi, Mr. Tabor, tnx u to share your knowledge about HTML5 and CSS3, I´m studing to I´ll make certification on march 19. I hope learning more with your videos!
I am really new to software programming. If you could make a series about C and C++ it would have been great!
@Kushagra: Unfortunately, I know nothing about C or C++ ... sorry!
با سلام
مجموعه خوبی است ولی بسیار کوتاه است تا شروع به زیبا شدن میکنه تمام مشود
با تشکر
sir, u made me your fan in one word. basically I am a fashion and graphics designer, but i wants to do also web developing and building.
yours HTML, CSS and Java Script really helped me out a lot. but trust me, the PHP still not getting in.. :( but i guess if you gonna teach me, then it will not take much time to work well. i am not getting any good fundamental to advanced course of php that i can learn easily on my live working field.. so is there any videos that you made on PHP? really it will a great help for me sir..
I am From Bangladesh, far across the place from you... but your teaching spread all over the world...
thanks for your kindness.. i will wait for a helpful reply for sure...
take care,,,
have a good day...
@Neer: Sorry my friend, I know very little about PHP. I'm sure there are good reference sites, books and videos about it out there somewhere. Good luck.
Mr. Tabor. Do you mind my asking, what screencasting program do you use?
@zwarburg: Hi Zack, I have no problem telling you, but for reasons you'll come to understand I don't want to post it in this thread. Write me : bob at learn visual studio dot net
That's so nice this opportunity of learning these new technologies... Thank you, Microsoft & team...
Thank you Bob, for the Absolute beginners series. They are great.
My machine is Win XP Pro. The Internet Explorer is 8. When I tried to upgrade the IE to IE 9, I found IE 10 is available. I was not sure what is the system requirement for the IE 10. Will it be compatible for my machine?
Thank you,
@Misheil: Unfortunately, I don't believe you will be able to install it. See this article:
It seems that IE10 only works on Windows 7 and greater.
However, for the purposes of this series, you can use the current version of *any* browser. If Internet Explorer doesn't "give you the love", you may consider other browser vendors that do. (Sorry, I've got to be careful what I say here. Use your imagination.) Hope that helps?
First of all I say big thank u to Bob Tabor for your great tutorials here. May God bless u more! Pls can we have Absolute beginner for SQL Database server tutorial too? thanks
@Abann: Hi, I don't think I'll be creating those for Channel9 (at least, I haven't been asked yet) but I do have an introduction to SQL Server on my main website, and even more SQL Server videos by me on my other website.
Hi Bob
waw! I think I am the only woman here, feeling a bit intimidated :), anyway I am starting from the very beginning, encouraged by my husband who is a web developer, well lets see how far I will go.
PS: could you please recommend where I can find some page to do some practice, exercises for a example? will help me a lot(I find a bit abstract)
@Adriana: The great thing about software development is that it's a meritocracy: nothing matters except your knowledge and skill. There's no personal politics in software development ... the computer discriminates against us all equally.
You may want to briefly jump to the very end of this series ... in the final video, I suggest a few things you can do to build your skill. Find any web page (start with a simple one!) and try to re-create it from scratch. JUST FOR PRACTICE copy the images down from the original web page (right-click, Save Image As ...) and then write the HTML5 and CSS3 yourself, not looking at what the original author did. After you've challenged yourself for a few hours, undoubtedly you'll get stuck and then you can look at how the original developer created that given page. There may be a lot of JavaScript in the page for things like tracking or other dynamic functionality, but ignore that and only look at the HTML5 and CSS3. Websites for small businesses might be a good place to start, OR purchase a SIMPLE HTML5 template (for under $10) from here:
... to see if you can re-create it, or modify it, or just understand what and why they did what they did.
But yeah, perhaps I should create a series of "challenges" for HTML5 / CSS3 developers to learn specific techniques. Good idea.
Best wishes to you! Stick with it ... baby steps and patience. No one learns this stuff in a few days. It takes weeks, months, even years to master it a little at a time.
Hi Bob ! I am writing you from Montevideo, Uruguay. I wanted to appreciate all this videos you have done (I am writing you at the series introduction one, but I am currently watching video number 7).
They are very understandable and enjoyable as well and that is magnificent, particularly when it comes to a junior developer as I am. Information tecnhnologies are my life. I am dedicating my life to Software Engineering. These videos are very helpful for my next Microsoft exam 70-480 preparation.
Thank you again,keep it up !
PS: By chance, is there any set of videos also published by you refering perhaps subject like developing web applications using asp.net with C#?
I have bought a book from amazon, but it would be very nice to watch some good stuff about this technology and language in particular.
Regards !
Juan Pablo.
@Juan Pablo: Hi Juan, it's great to hear that the videos can help you pursue certification. You said you are dedicating your life time Software Engineering ... that's what it takes -- a lifetime of dedication. But don't forget to have a little fun with the important things of life, too.
As fars as ASP.NET videos go, I have some of that on my personal website, and will be adding even more in the summer. Check it out.
Good luck!
Ok. Thank you very much Bob !
Im exciting to learn something new!
Tks so much for this series.

text: Successful Leadership Dr. Curtis L. Jones Jr. was named Superintendent of the Griffin-Spalding County School System on June 2, 2009, by a unanimous vote of the Griffin-Spalding County Board of Education, and he took office two weeks later. As Griffin-Spalding superintendent, Dr. Jones has led the school district to historic levels of success. As noted during the 2011 AdvancEd district accreditation visit, the school district was commended by the Quality Assurance Review Team (QART) team for: · Developing a continuous improvement process that is showing significant increases in student performance. · Aligning leadership and communication protocols internally and externally to support the district's initiatives. · Demonstrating commitment to the success of each student. · Supporting instruction through the systemic use of a variety of data analysis tools. Additionally, the QAR team gave the Griffin-Spalding County School System the highest rating, fully functional, in two standards: (1) Vision and Purpose, and (2) Documenting and Using Results. The QAR team gave GSCS the second highest rating, Operational, in the remaining five standards: (1) Governance and Leadership, (2) Teaching and Learning, (3) Resources and Support Systems, (4) Stakeholder Communications and Community Relationships, and (5) Commitment to Continuous Improvement. The QAR team's justification in these commendations and ratings were the district's revised mission, vision, and value statements, as well as its ubiquitous use of a strategy map, a team-based protocol for improvement, Performance Matters, Read 180, Thinking Maps, and Positive Behavior and Supports (PBIS). Historic highs in graduation rates, the closing of achievement gaps, and the marked improvement in test scores were also noted by the team. About the Superintendent Dr. Jones, a graduate of Griffin High School (1973) and the United States Military Academy (1977), was an officer in the U.S. Army from 1977 to 1997, retiring at the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. He was the principal at Griffin High School from 2001 to 2005 after serving as the school's JROTC instructor from 1997 to 2001. Under his leadership, Griffin High's SAT scores improved from an average of 910 to an average of 975. As an educator, he helped 10 Griffin High School students earn military scholarships through the JROTC program, including two to West Point Military Academy, one to the Georgia Institute of Technology, five to North Georgia College and State University, and two to Auburn University. In addition, he was honored as Griffin High School's Teacher of the Year in 2000. He then served as the Assistant Superintendent for Administrative Services for the Griffin-Spalding County School System from 2005 until 2009. Dr. Jones led the school system in creating its first ever strategic plan. He also functioned as the lead agent for the district's energy action plan. But most noteworthy was Dr. Jones' implementation of Title I in No Child Left Behind. Under his leadership, Title I became the school system's vehicle for school improvement. The number of Title I schools making AYP was 7 of 9 schools in 2005 to 11 of 12 in 2009. Additionally, Dr. Jones improved the district's Pre-K and ELL program. As a result, the Griffin-Spalding County School System became a leader in the state in Title I ELL, Pre-K, and PBIS and has been called upon to share with others its strategies and logic models for improvement. Dr. Jones holds a Master of Business Administration from Albany State College, a Specialist degree in Educational Leadership from Lincoln Memorial University and a Doctoral degree in Educational Leadership from Nova Southeastern University. Additionally, he has completed the Army's Command and General Staff School, a ten-month graduate-level program focusing on leadership philosophy, military history, and the military planning and decision-making processes. Dr. Jones has also previously held the Certified Financial Planner designation from the Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards, Inc., an affiliate of the Financial Planning Standards Board. Community Service Dr. Jones has served as Chairperson of the Kiwanis Club of Griffin K-Kids program, as well as working as the club's lieutenant governor in 2009. In 2009, he received the Kiwanis International Foundation George F. Hixson Fellowship. He is a District G Past President of the Georgia Association of Secondary Schools Principals. On August 15, 2009, he was presented the Lamp of Knowledge Achievers' Award by the Kelsey School Properties. A member of the Trinity Christian Methodist Episcopal Church, Dr. Jones is on the church's Board of Trustees and its Steward Board, as well as serving as its Lay Leader Chairman since 1997. From 2006 until 2009, he was the Coordinator of the CME's Ministry to Men for the Central Georgia Region. Family His wife, the former Evelyn Kendall of Griffin, Georgia, graduated from Manhattanville College in New York and has a Master's degree from Columbus College and a Specialist degree from Lincoln Memorial University. She is a career educator and is the principal at Anne Street Elementary School. They have three children, all of whom are Griffin High School graduates. Curtison is in business in Athens, Georgia; Jaimon is a high school teacher in Walton County (Georgia); and Leah, who is currently enrolled in the University of Virginia Medical School.

LANDOVER, Md. -- There was some serious scoreboard watching in the Washington Redskins locker room. A near-perfect game from Robert Griffin III buoyed the hopes of a team that hadn't won a game in over a month.
"Did Dallas lose?" right guard Kory Lichtensteiger asked a group of reporters.
In the Philadelphia Eagles locker room, it was the same old same old. The losing streak had reached six games, accelerating the countdown toward the possible end of Andy Reid's 14-year tenure as coach.
"I don't know how it can get much worse," tight end Brent Celek said.
Sunday's meeting for last place in the NFC East left a thick line between the Redskins and Eagles. The 31-6 victory allows Washington (4-6) to feel like a playoff contender for at least a few more days, while Philadelphia (3-7) is doomed to spending six more weeks enduring endless questions about the future of the franchise.
"We knew this game right here was going to be make or break for either one of our teams," Washington linebacker London Fletcher said.
The Redskins' hopes remain intact largely because of Griffin, who completed 14 of 15 passes for 200 yards, including touchdown passes of 6, 49, 61 and 17 -- one in each quarter. He also ran 12 times for 84 yards and was again serenaded with chants of "RG3."
"I'm tired of talking about Robert," said Santana Moss, who leaped between two defenders and fought his way into the end zone for the 61-yard score in the third quarter. "Nothing's going to change; Robert's going to go out there and be special. That's the gift that he has, he's a special guy. He brings that kind of 'specialness.' I don't know if that's a word, but he brings it to our offence."
There was another chant in the final minutes, the familiar "We want Dallas!" The Redskins have a short week before heading to Texas for a Thanksgiving visit to the Cowboys (5-5), who, by the way, pulled out the win in overtime against the Browns.
"If we had lost today, we're going into this next week with a whole different mindset of, hey, 'spoiler' -- maybe fight to see if the stars align just right," Lichtensteiger said. "But now we have a legitimate shot with the way this division is right now. There's definitely a belief right now."
That's a long way from the statement Mike Shanahan made after a loss to Carolina, when the coach pretty much gave up on the post-season and talked about evaluating talent for next year. Shanahan has since changed his tune and says every game the rest of the way is like a playoff game.
"It was a game we had to have," Shanahan said Sunday. "We knew that."
The Redskins also finally found a formula for beating a rookie quarterback: force turnovers and have your own rookie play better. The defence got three takeaways and four sacks while facing Nick Foles, the third-round pick from Arizona who was making his first NFL start because Michael Vick is sidelined with a concussion.
Foles' first drive ended with a pass tipped to DeAngelo Hall for an interception. Foles also got picked on his second drive when he threw into double coverage to safety Brandon Meriweather, who made his season debut after missing the Redskins' first nine games with a knee injury.
The win snapped the Redskins' remarkable eight-game losing streak against rookie quarterbacks that began in 2006.
"That's the kind of football we've been wanting to play all year," said Washington linebacker Ryan Kerrigan, who had a sack, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery. "And especially with Philly having a young quarterback, we wanted to really get after him."
Still, the Eagles with Foles resembled the Eagles with Vick: capable of moving the ball downfield, only to have all the hard work negated by turnovers, penalties and a patchwork offensive line.
Philadelphia entered the game with an NFC-worst minus-11 turnover differential; it's now minus-14. The Eagles committed nine penalties for 70 yards, including a pair of first-quarter false starts by right guard Jake Scott, who has been with the team less than a week.
Foles, who made his NFL debut in relief last week after Vick was injured, completed 21 for 46 for 204 yards. LeSean McCoy had 15 carries for 45 yards before being carted off in the final two minutes with a concussion.
"I don't sense a lack of focus," said Reid, who declined to directly answer a question about his job security. "That's not what I sense. I see them playing hard. I see them focusing in at practice. At times, maybe we're trying too hard."
NOTES: The Eagles have their longest in-season losing streak since dropping seven in a row at the end of 1994. ... Griffin completed passes to nine receivers and has only three interceptions in 277 attempts this season. Foles already has three in just 78 attempts. ... Washington last beat a rookie quarterback on Dec. 24, 2005, a 24-9 win over Ryan Fitzpatrick and the St. Louis Rams. ... Meriweather, who had been sidelined with a left knee injury, hurt his right knee in the third quarter, but he's expected to play against Dallas. ... Washington WR Pierre Garcon returned from a foot injury and caught three passes for 5 yards. ... Penalties remain a problem for the Redskins: 13 for 80 yards.

KTVA Heroes: Molly PolandOwner of Kenai Peninsula lodge known for helping othersThis is the first in a series featuring community heroes, in which we honor and recognize the Alaskans who have lent a helping hand to neighbors, coworkers, and complete strangers. SOLDOTNA - CBS 11's Megan Edge traveled to the Kenai Peninsula to meet with one nominee -- Molly Poland, in the heart of Hooligans. In Soldotna, off the Sterling Highway, you will find Hooligans Lodge. For locals the bar is a weekend hotspot; for tourists it's just another fishing lodge. But for many, its owner is what keeps them loyal. From the outside it's just another lodge. But don't judge a book by its cover, because Hooligans has a lot of heart. Jeff Allen is a janitor here. He's just one of many Molly Poland helped back on his feet. "She breaks her back for just about everybody," Allen said. About 18 months ago, the retired slope worker was broke and unemployed. "I just kept pestering Molly and of course they didn't have an opening at the time but as soon as it came up I got phone call and I said I will be there tomorrow." But what Molly gave him was so much more than a job. "If it's food that we need, we've got it," Allen said. "If we need a job, we got it. We need extra hours, she will find something for us to do. We just do it... because that's the way we are. We're a family." And she doesn't just help her employees. "A couple times there have been families that have been in situations where their houses have caught on fire and they lost everything, and so we have them stay here and they can eat breakfast and sometimes they have clothes at home I can bring them," Poland said. In the five years that Poland has owned Hooligans Lodge, she's helped countless people for many different reasons. "There [are] a lot of families that have hard times that people don't know about, and are embarrassed about it, and so I will just approach them and tell them, 'you are more than welcome to stay at Hooligans until you figure things out." It's that attitude that makes Molly not just a businesswoman, but a member of almost every family in Soldotna. "I tell her I love her all the time; it's all I can say to her… hug her and give her a kiss," Allen said. Molly, according to Allen, is a community hero. If you know of an unsung hero who deserves recognition tell us about him or her. We're looking for those who serve others, have helped those around them, made life easier for someone else… If you'd like to nominate a KTVA hero, contact us on Facebook, Twitter, email us at firstname.lastname@example.com or call the newsroom at 274-1111. You have indicated this comment should be removed.said on Wednesday, Feb 13 at 1:01 PM This discussion is over a woman who campaigned on her BUISNESS facebook page for this honor by posting a link so that the hundreds of people who had already liked her business facebook page could simply click on a link to go vote for her. REAL heroes don't campaign to be nominated as heroes, they just ARE! REAL heroes are people who do things selflessly without contemplating the result of their selfless acts. REAL heroes are individuals who are often uncomfortable with the label "hero" because they understand the magnitude of what that word means. Not only is this a farce, but it's disgusting. What a vacuous honor… Inappropriate? Alert Us! said on Monday, Feb 11 at 4:45 PM MAYBE YOUR JUST A JEALOUS WANNA BE BECAUSE SHE IS ON TV AND YOUR NOT. Inappropriate? Alert Us! said on Thursday, Feb 7 at 12:28 AM Molly helps so many people down here I think she is very deserving of this award for every one person who dislikes her or says something negative about her there are 100 more who say they love that woman and she has positivly impacted their lives. And her talking about letting famiies stay at the hotel because of a fire is just the tip of the ice berg when it comes to her generosity I dont even know how many charitys she donates to because I have figured out for every food drive she does theres 100 christmas stockings she is filling with stuff for the homeless or hoodies she is donating to get raffled off or money she is giving and trips she is giving away for random acts of kindness im surprised that wasnt brought up but for those who dont know Molly started RAK random acts of kindness a contest in which she asked people from all over to upload a video of them doing a good deed and she is giving a trip to mexico theres a facebook page for it and everything she is an angel :) Inappropriate? Alert Us! said on Wednesday, Feb 6 at 4:34 PM I do not know this woman personally but do not commend the post comments about personal dirt. We all have personal dirt. This is not the place to create any sort of drama and or bashing. Time to grow up a little. She may not be perfect, but who is? What we DO know about THIS subject, is that she HAS helped people in need. Can you say the same about yourself? Inappropriate? Alert Us! said on Wednesday, Feb 6 at 3:41 PM I agree totally! You should do a little more research... Inappropriate? Alert Us! said on Wednesday, Feb 6 at 11:52 AM While I respect KTVA as an honest, reliable source for the news, I have to say, you should have done a bit more research before honoring this woman as a "hero". "Hero" is a VERY strong word to be throwing around and should not be taken lightly. I have known this woman, her family, and her character for around 8 years. The last thing I am going to do is go into the laundry list of reasons this woman is far from a "hero", but this piece is garbage. I encourage you as an honest and reliable news team to look farther into the people you are honoring as "heroes", than taking the word of someone nominating them for this series you are running. I assure you the lives this woman has damaged and/or destroyed far exceed the lives of the people she has helped. Shame on you! Inappropriate? Alert Us! Add a comment |

Turkey fires on Syria after deadly shelling
Updated 6:38 PM ET
ISTANBUL Turkish artillery fired on Syrian targets after deadly shelling from Syria hit a Turkish border town on Wednesday, sharply raising tensions on a volatile border that has been crossed by tens of thousands of Syrian refugees fleeing violence in their country.
In a terse statement, the office of Turkey's prime minister, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, condemned shelling that hit the Turkish town of Akcakale, killing five local residents and wounding a dozen others. The shelling appeared to come from Syrian government forces who were fighting Syrian rebels backed by Turkey, which has called for the ouster of Syrian President Bashar Assad.
"Our armed forces at the border region responded to this atrocious attack with artillery fire on points in Syria that were detected with radar, in line with the rules of engagement," the Turkish statement said.
"Turkey, acting within the rules of engagement and international laws, will never leave unreciprocated such provocations by the Syrian regime against our national security," it said.

- Syria: At least 34 killed in Aleppo suicide bombings; Blasts appear to have targeted military officers
Along the volatile border, a shell fired from inside Syria landed on a home in the Turkish village of Akcakale, killing a woman, her three daughters and another woman, and wounding at least 10 others, according to Turkish media.
Turkey's NTV television said Turkish radar pinpointed the positions from where the shells were fired on Akcakale, and that those positions were hit.
"Turkey is a sovereign country. There was an attack on its territory. There must certainly be a response in international law. ... I hope this is Syria's last craziness. Syria will be called into account," said Turkish Deputy Prime Minister Bulent Arinc.
Turkish media said Turkey has prepared a parliamentary bill for Syria that is similar to one that authorizes the Turkish military to intervene in northern Iraq in pursuit of Kurdish militants who have bases there. The bill is expected to be discussed in parliament on Thursday, Anadolu agency reported.
If approved, the bill could more easily open the way to unilateral action by Turkey's armed forces inside Syria, without the involvement of its Western and Arab allies.
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said the U.S. was "outraged that the Syrians have been shooting across the border," adding that she would speak with Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu on the matter.
"It's a very, very dangerous situation," Clinton said. "And all responsible nations need to band together to persuade the Assad regime to have a cease-fire, quit assaulting their own people and begin the process of a political transition."
"This is yet another example of the depraved behavior of the Syrian regime, and why it must go," said Pentagon press secretary George Little. "We regret the loss of life in Turkey, a strong ally, and continue to monitor the situation closely."
A statement issued by a U.N. spokesperson on behalf of Secretary General Ban Ki-moon said the secretary general "expresses his deepest concern at the incident" and "extends his sincere condolences to the Government and people of Turkey over this tragic loss of life." The statement added that Ban "has repeatedly warned that the ongoing militarization of the conflict in Syria is leading to tragic results for the Syrian people."
NATO's National Atlantic Council, which is composed of the national ambassadors, held an emergency meeting in Brussels on Wednesday night at Turkey's request to discuss the cross-border incident. A statement on NATO's Web site Wednesday said: "The most recent shelling on 3 October 20l2, which caused the death of five Turkish citizens and injured many, constitutes a cause of greatest concern for, and is strongly condemned by, all Allies.
"In the spirit of indivisibility of security and solidarity deriving from the Washington Treaty, the Alliance continues to stand by Turkey and demands the immediate cessation of such aggressive acts against an Ally, and urges the Syrian regime to put an end to flagrant violations of international law."
Turkey, a NATO ally, is anxious to avoid going into Syria on its own. It has been pushing for international intervention in the form of a safe zone, which would likely entail foreign security forces on the ground and a partial no-fly zone. However, the allies fear military intervention in Syria could ignite a wider conflict, and few observers expect robust action from the United States, which Turkey views as vital to any operation in Syria, ahead of the presidential election in November.
According to Turkey's NTV station, the Syrian information ministry said it had launched an investigation into Wednesday's shelling and expressed sorrow for the deaths of Turkish civilians. But it urged Turkey to prevent the cross-border infiltration of what it called terrorists.
Turkey hosts more than 90,000 Syrian refugees in camps along its border, and also hosts Syrian opposition groups. There is concern in Turkey that the Syrian chaos could have a destabilizing effect on Turkey's own communities; some observers have attributed a sharp rise in violence by Kurdish rebels in Turkey to militant efforts to take advantage of the regional uncertainty.

- Turkey is a republic (like the U.S.) in that tumultuous part of the world. You critics should rejoice about Turkey and its government, rather than inanely lumping it with terrorist and dictatorial regimes.

- Yes folks. World War III has begun. It is just a matter of time before it is officially recognized. China is threatening Japan, Americans are at war in Afghanistan. Syria is at war with it's own people, backed by Iran, China, and Russia. The fuse is lit!

- MRSHIPPY: Strange that there is not the same international "outrage" about China. Could it be that the Good Ol` UN has lotsa sympathy with dictatorships rather than with democracies?
Also as Turkey has already had aircraft SHOT DOWN by Syria, (which by rights should have triggered a response from NATO), while the UN and US has dithered and hidden behind weasel words via the UN, what will be the response of the Liberal media when the wheels really come off so called "International Diplomacy"?
1939, GB went to war with Nazi Germany because the then British Government had moral principles.
In Libya GB and France overflew and USA used submarine launced missiles. Result? Libya now has rid itself of a dictator.
Last four years has reflected weakness of leadership despite Osama Bin Ladin coup!
When my father was in the war, USA were welcomed and respected.
He told me a tale of liberating a small town in Germany.
There were cries of "Thank God! It`s the Americans".
What do our leaders have to do to realise what they have done to the respect USA once held across the globe?

So are you ready to put on a uniform and go to war for some other country. Bet not it's easy to sit behind a keyboard and call for war as long as you're not the one that has to do the fighting.

- I love Turkey. They don't play. But when they do, they know exactly what they're doing. Not to small a response, and not too big. And none of the incessant hand-wringing that the US engages in. But to be fair, when people attack us, it's very difficult to figure out who did it. I mean who's going to take credit for it when it means certain death to your entire city, if not country. And then there's the ever possible third-party "false flag" ops, intended to get us to decimate one's enemies (Iran coming to mind). Would that our world be as simple as the Turk's today.

1 Meetup Group matches "Medical Marijuana" near Tucson, AZ
Meetup details are available only to members.
After becoming a cannabis patient, shortly after Prop 203 passed, I learned the long held beliefs about cannabis causing brain damage is a costly lie to so many people suffering from debilitating diseases every day. In fact, I received a nearly fatal blow to the head over a year ago and suffered neurological brain damage from it. Cannabis, with meditation, has helped tremendously with the blackouts I was experiencing frequently where I haven't had a blackout in months now. My (retired) doctor an …

I bought this tea because my nephew Brennan said it was good and he thought I would like it. I was eager to cup this despite it being at least partially artificially flavored.
In my first cup I added a little skim milk. To be honest, even the small amount of milk seemed to hide flavors, although I thought I tasted vanilla and other Chai spices. My second cup was steeped without milk, per info below. I did taste a decent black tea base, vanilla & cinnamon, and perhaps cardamon in the background.
It was a decent cup of tea, but I did taste the artificial flavoring in this blend and it really distracted me, & disappointed me-even though I was expecting it. :// Hopefully, this tea will be better cold brewed.
Cupped & Reviewed: Thursday, July 19, 2012.
