Grossman's Deli & Grill
A Deli & Grill that started as a fish market over 50 years ago needs to start marketing for the first time. We are located in Ocean Township. Patrons can dine in our galley with 2 salt water fish tanks or take out at the counter. We also delivery to the surrounding businesses.
We need to revive our image and target more businesses for delivery and catering.
We need to:
Clean-up our logo. We have the basic shape in an EPS file but need it to be refreshed for 2010. Our main color for the deli is Green, so ideally the logo would be refreshed in with green as the main color. We would also like it to look good inverted on a green background such as shown at our old website at http://www.grossmansdeli.com. We are not looking to change the shape or the logo... just make it look better!
Once the logo is cleaned up we would like to showcase it on brand new business cards. Nothing fancy here, just simple and clean.
lastly, we would like to refresh our menu and make it easier to read. We are open to suggestions. Attached is our full menu that we would like to have redone. In addition we would like a small menu/flyer that we can advertise weekly specials that our delivery person can leave with businesses, or hand deliver with samples. We have attached an example menu/flyer from a competing deli (valentes) that we like. We would like to have even less items... as they will be specials, but we think the size is good. We would need to be able to edit this menu on a weekly basis, so it must be able to be chopped up and put in ms word or publisher.
Please let us know if you have any questions or need additional info
Thank You.

Brewers Association looks to past setting new guidelines for two smoky beers
The newest beer styles to earn guideline recognition from the Boulder-based Brewers Association aren't new at all: They are a couple of centuries-old smoky ales from Europe that long ago fell out favor but are now showing signs of being revived by craft brewers.
The BA today announced new guidelines for the two styles – Adambier, which thrived in and around Dortmung, Germany, and Grätzer, primarily brewed in Poland. The beers pre-date the 1516 Reinheitsgebot, or German purity law, which stated beer could only be made of water, barley and hops.
With the announcement, there are now 142 styles of beer defined by Brewers Association guidelines – the standards by which they are judged in the Great American Beer Festival competition.

13 things Dad does NOT want for Father's Day
Father's Day is right around the corner and kids and wives are thinking of just the perfect gift. We asked some dads what they really want and their answers were no surprise. Quality time with the kids, a day of no chores, a meal cooked by someone other than themselves, a good book or maybe even some hunting or sporting gear. But then we asked them what they absolutely do NOT want. You might be surprised.

Displacement:349 cc
2014 KTM 350 EXC-F SIX DAYS: Legendary
The 350 EXC‑F - "READY TO RACE" for the world's largest enduro competition, the "International Six Days Enduro". Six days in succession, over a thousand offroad kilometres, 40 hours in the saddle - a gruelling test, not only for the rider. A whole package of high-quality special options makes the KTM 350 EXC‑F fit for this ruthless contest, in which more than half the starters bank on KTM every year. 350 EXC‑F Six Days - only authentic with the orange powder-coated frame of the KTM Factory Team. No other brand is anywhere near as strongly and successfully represented in offroad sport as KTM. This is particularly clear in the world's largest enduro competition, the "International Six Days Enduro" (ISDE), where more than 500 enduro riders from over 30 countries compete for the World Team Championship. A marathon enduro race that places just as high demands on the motorcycles as it does on the riders. That's why year after year more than half the competitors place their trust in the tried and tested products from Austria. In 2013, the Six Days Race will be held on the Italian island of Sardinia. Those who want to arrive safely at the finish on the demanding, rocky terrain will have to make no compromises. In the form of the new Six Days models, KTM offers well-proven, robust machines that fully satisfy the high demands of this extraordinarily tough competition.
2014 KTM 350 EXC-F SIX DAYS Features and Benefits:
Superior Chassis:
Triple clamp
Meticulously finished triple clamps, machined from a solid block: Not only do they look classy in anodised orange; they are also designed in such a way that they support the responsiveness and sliding behaviour of the new fork with their special shaping. The attachment points on the lower triple clamp have been adapted for new front fenders for the 2014 model year.
Telescopic fork
The KTM Six Days models are equipped with a 48 mm 4CS closed-cartridge fork from WP Suspension. The 4-chamber technology (4CS) patented by WP not only provides a key benefit in terms of responsiveness and consistent damping characteristics, it is also lighter and oil services prove to be far simpler than on the conventional closed-cartridge versions. The setting has been made slightly stiffer and sportier for the 2014 model year to give the fork even more reserves on extremely rutted tracks as well. Naturally, the setting can easily be adapted to track and rider in a matter of a few clicks at the top of the fork: compression damping on the left-hand shaft, rebound damping on the right - another advantage of the 4CS technology.
Individual suspension settings
Each EXC model has its own individual suspension settings, optimally tuned to weight and engine. At the rear, a PDS shock absorber from WP Suspension works with a direct linkage to the upper side of the swingarm. The wide range of setting options for rebound damping and high- and low-speed compression damping are standard on KTM bikes.
In keeping with KTM tradition, the frames are made from high quality, lightweight, chrome-molybdenum steel profiles. In conjunction with the rear PDS damping system, they are designed for optimum absorption of shocks introduced into the frame by the rear wheel. In response to the trend for aluminium frames followed by our rivals, we supply a high-tech steel frame that weighs approx. 0.5 kg less than the lightest competitor. Moreover, it's easier to maintain, work on it is simpler and it provides more space for the fuel tank and other components.
All KTM EXC models are designed with a lightweight, cast aluminium swingarm featuring direct linkage of the PDS shock absorber on the upper side. The aluminium casting process allows production of a single-piece swingarm with unlimited geometric possibilities and reduces inconsistencies caused by welding work. The swingarm has been designed to provide targeted flexibility on the one hand, thereby bolstering the suspension, and high torsional stiffness on the other.
High quality wheels
The high quality, alloy wheels from GIANT made of extremely stable 7050 aluminium, featuring exclusive Six Days lettering and CNC-machined hubs, are standard on all KTM Six Days models. The MAXXIS FIM tyres provide excellent traction, very precise directional control and a long service life. An additional Six Days standard feature: the Supersprox 2-piece rear sprocket with steel outer ring and aluminium star.
High-tech brakes from Brembo have always been standard equipment on KTM offroad bikes and, together with the lightweight wave brake discs, they are the measure of all things in terms of brake technology. A new handbrake armature has been employed for the 2014 model year, with new remote reservoir, smaller brake piston diameter and a new lever with optimised lever kinematics. As a result and thanks to optimised sintered brake pads (Toyo B169), the performance and application of the front brake have been perceptibly improved again.
Performance for pros and amateurs alike:
The 350cc four-stroke engine, with state-of-the-art electronic fuel injection, provides a very broad useable rev range and distinguishes itself with dynamic yet strength-saving engine characteristics. With peak power of more than 45 hp, the 350 EXC‑F Six Days is powerful enough to beat every 450 in the E2 class.
The 350 EXC‑F engine is equipped with a 196 watt alternator featuring an integrated freewheel for the starter. The alternator provides sufficient power for the fuel injection system, lights and other electrical loads. Compared with the 350 SX‑F, the oil-cooled rotor has a larger diameter, which provides more gyrating mass and requires a larger ignition cover.
Oil circuit
The 350 EXC‑F engine is equipped with two oil pumps. A pressure pump supplies reliable lubrication to the crankshaft, piston, balancer shaft and valve controls. It also ensures cooling of the ignition and lubrication of the clutch. A suction pump draws oil from the crankcase and uses it to lubricate the transmission. This creates a slight vacuum in the crankcase, which also increases engine performance.
Valve train
The crankshaft drives a laterally positioned intermediate shaft that also acts as a balancer shaft, water pump drive and timing chain drive for the two camshafts. A hydraulic chain adjuster ensures reliable chain tension and consequently extremely precise valve timing.
Cylinder head
Together with very small, lightweight (only 8 g) cam followers with DLC coating, the DOHC cylinder head is equipped with four ultra-light titanium valves (intake 36.3 mm, exhaust 29.1 mm), allowing extremely high engine speeds of up to 12,000 rpm. The valve timings of the camshafts are designed perfectly for performance in the enduro-specific lower rev range. New valve spring retainers ensure even greater durability in the most extreme conditions in MY 2014 and a revamped auto-decompressor optimises starting behaviour.
Compared with the 350 SX‑F, the 350 EXC‑F is equipped with a heavier crankshaft to generate more gyrating mass for more uniform power development and better traction. Similarly to last season's KTM SX-F models, it is equipped with a plain bearing in the lower conrod eye. The previous needle bearing is replaced with two press-fit bearing shells that run directly on the crankshaft's crank pin. This design enhances the durability of the engine, thereby enabling an extension to the service intervals for the crankshaft.
Engine case
The engine case production process was already converted from sand casting to die casting in the previous model year in order to reduce the wall thickness and save weight. In MY 2014, the optimised gasket for the new water-pump cover guarantees absolute reliability even in the toughest of conditions.
Engine Management System (EMS)
The engine management system from Keihin, with electronic fuel injection and 42 mm throttle body, ensures spontaneous responsiveness and maximum engine performance. Various engine characteristics can be selected via the EMS, with a map-select switch available as a PowerPart. Furthermore, a user-setting tool (also available as an option) allows data to be read from the bike by laptop and the mapping, ignition and fuel injection to be modified in a matter of a few mouse clicks.
Balancer shaft
To counterbalance the inertia forces, the 350 EXC‑F engine is equipped with a balancer shaft on the right-hand side, which acts simultaneously as a water-pump drive and a drive wheel for the timing chain. This solution makes a major contribution to the extremely compact design of the engine.
The six-speed transmission is designed specifically for the engine characteristics of the 350cc and 450cc engine and for every type of enduro use. It excels with precise and easy shifting.
DDS clutch
The single-piece outer hub of the further optimised DDS (Damped Diaphragm Steel) clutch is machined along with its primary gear from a solid block of high-strength steel. This process guarantees unbeatable reliability and allows the engine to be extremely narrow thanks to the compact, rivetless design of the outer clutch hub. In addition, this design allows use of thin steel discs, which also contributes to the compact dimensions of the clutch. The diaphragm spring enables implementation of an additional hub damping mechanism - a benefit in terms of traction and gearbox wear. Furthermore, an optimised inner clutch hub improves the durability of the clutch. Finally, in conjunction with the diaphragm spring, the hydraulic clutch actuation system from Brembo ensures very smooth and very precise clutch control.
The engine is equipped as standard with both kickstarter and electric starter. Positioned behind the cylinder, the electric starter is well protected. Its drive is connected to the optimised freewheel on the ignition rotor.
Slim ergonomics for perfect control:
The KTM 350 EXC‑F Six Days has bodywork with extremely slim ergonomics and excellent contact points between rider and machine. It provides unlimited freedom of movement. For MY 2014, the bike excels with the graphics restyled in 2013 in the colours of the ISDE in Germany.
The KTM 350 EXC‑F Six Days is equipped with a tapered Neken handlebar made from high-strength aluminium alloy. In accordance with the proven KTM standard, the handlebar can be fixed in a choice of four positions. Redesigned handguards made from ultra-sturdy 2-component plastic have been fitted for the 2014 model year, ensuring more efficient hand protection. The newly installed clutch armature from Brembo has been adapted to the appearance of the brake armature.

Anyone using a "slide to unlock" feature on their iPhone or iPad should thank Apple's Greg Christie, who is leaving the company.
Now that Christie, who was a vice president of human interface, is gone it seems that more power is concentrated in the hands of Jonathan Ive. Apple's senior vice president of design, according to the Guardian. Other reports have also said that Christie and Ive didn't agree with the design direction of iOS 7 which caused friction between them. From 9to5Mac:
When Ive tasked Apple's Human Interface team with redesigning iOS 7 to include an entirely new look, Christie and Ive reportedly clashed over design direction, after which Ive is said to have circumvented Christie's leadership of the team during the new operating system's development.
The iOS 7's radical design was the first time Ive controlled much of the software design -- because former iOS chief Scott Forstall was fired by Apple's chief executive Tim Cook. Sources inside Apple say that Christie wasn't ousted, but other sources seem to indicate Christie and Ive's relationship was a difficult one and the cause for his early retirement.

Every now and then we need to be reminded about our local unsung heroes. La Sal has a wonderful cadre of Emergency Responders who are called into action as the need arises.
They also find themselves coming upon a situation where their skills are put to use. Such an incident happened last Tuesday as one of them responded to an auto accident at Muleshoe Canyon north of La Sal Junction.
Jennifer Lake was on her way home from Moab Tuesday with her friend, Ruthie Thayne, when they came upon the accident. An off-duty San Juan County Sheriffs Deputy was already on scene.
A Blanding lady had gone off the road and down into a ravine. It is estimated that she flew nearly 100 feet off the road and then another 40 feet down a ravine.
The car was upside down and she was in serious condition when Jennifer climbed down to assess the situation. Jen had to crawl up into the upside down car and hold the lady's head to stabilize it until further medical help could arrive.
The injured person was life-flighted from the scene. The helicopter landed and took off from the highway. At last report, the injured party is still in serious condition with neck, back and leg injuries.
Raising the Roof: No, not rabble-rousing; this is a real, old fashioned roof raising. You know, when folks get together to help put up a barn, or in this case, a secondary roof.
One person who is always "Johnny on the Spot" when anyone else needs help is Mike Harris. Well, this time, folks are invited to come out and give him a hand putting up a roof over his mobile home.
The date: this Saturday morning, April 27. The place: behind the Zimmerman's. All able-bodied folks are invited to come out and lend a hand. Lots of hands make easy work, so it shouldn't take too long.
The La Sal LDS Relief Society invites all ladies in the area to an activity this coming Saturday evening. It is an Evening of International Fun.
Ladies are encouraged to bring along their favorite foreign dish to share. Those who have lived or visited foreign places are asked to come and share their experiences.
It's been awhile since we had a ladies night out, so come on out and join the fun. It gets underway at 5 p.m. MST (not La Sal Standard Time), Saturday, April 27 at the LDS Church. Bring a friend.
The La Sal Literary Guild is currently reading "Gifted Hands, The Ben Carson Story". This is a true story about a black kid from the projects who grew up to be a world renowned neurosurgeon. It's a great read. (I know, I say that every time. No point in reading dull books, is there?!)
He spoke last January at the National Prayer Breakfast. His remarks were quite candid and did not necessarily follow along the lines of the current president, but he stated it like he believes.
He was also the recipient, in 2008, of the Presidential Medal of Freedom award.
Tentative plans are to meet next Tuesday evening at the library to discuss the book. Double-check the time and date at the library. There will be food!
Wow, I'm amazed and pleased at the response to the Charles Redd Foundation for Western Studies San Juan County Public Lands contest. You got to read all about that in last week's paper.
Eventually, many of these entries will find their way into an issue of the Blue Mountain Shadows magazine. Good work all you public land lovers out there. Sometime it is going to get to really be spring and give us a better chance to go out and recreate on these lands.
It's been interesting since the last column how the "Quackers" are coming out of the woodwork. Seems there are a lot of Duck Dynasty groupies around our community. Gotta love these guys! Yep, it's good to be a redneck.

The second account, also called a 'float account', would act as a storage area for the cryptocurrency that the customer sells, while the third account, also a float account, would contain the equivalent amount of the cryptocurrency that the customer converts money.
That third bill would then return the converted funds to the original account of the customer for inclusion.
The proposed system collects data from external information sources on cryptocurrency exchange rates and uses this data to determine its own optimal speed.
The patent notes that this service would be for customers at company level, which means that if the bank were to carry out this project, it would be offered to companies.
Bank of America may look at cryptocurrency exchange services for its corporate customers – or at least keep options open if they become interested.
In a patent granted by the US Patent and Trademark Office on Tuesday, the second largest bank in the US outlined a potential cryptocurrency exchange system that converts one digital currency into the other. In addition, this system would be automated, with the exchange rate between the two currencies being determined on the basis of external data feeds.
The patent describes a possible three-part system, where the first part would be a client account and the other two accounts would be owned by the company that manages the system. The user saves the cryptocurrency that he has chosen via the client account.

No airline list is complete without Southwest Airlines in the mix. As the top rated airline company for low cost rates, Southwest is heralded for its convenience and practicality. While regional in nature, Southwest now flies direct to many national destinations.
American Airlines
American Airlines used to be major player back in the early days of commercial aviation. In fact, it had a long standing rivalry with Pan-Am airways and other defunct airlines. Today, American Airlines still has a loyal and faithful passenger base. Most of their customers, however, have been enticed by Delta and other major carriers over the years.

Keep in mind when I say the 1.28 cents/mile is for flights that is a rough estimate based off of a flight I found (the cheapest flight for specific dates as well). Using it for other rewards will also change its value. I find travel is one of the worst uses for it in terms of monetary value.
Entertainment rewards are usually the largest value/mile (probably because of the high markup with their prices). Using mileage plus miles for restaurant certificates on Restaurant.com, it appears that you can get anywhere from 2.5 cents/mile to 5 cents/mile.

There are certain times of the year when airline tickets are going to cost more and when they are going to cost less. When you look at prices historically, you can recognize the times that airfare is going to cost more including holidays like Christmas and Thanksgiving and during the peak summer travel season. You want to be sure to book ahead for these times of the year if you want to get cheap airfares. When you book your flight for these times well in advance, you can get discounted prices instead of paying the full fare that airlines can get closer to these times. The holiday rates do not go into effect until a month or so before the time of year so be sure to book before that time and you should get a good deal.
The Los Angeles area is served by Southwest Airlines cheap flights via four airports including the major Los Angeles International (LAX). The one airport not served by Southwest Airlines in the Los Angeles area is Long Beach so if you are headed there you will need to check out the fares of other low-cost carriers that fly to the area.

Benefits of Booking Southwest Airlines cheap flights
So why should you check out Southwest Airlines cheap flights rather than those of other carriers? First, the point to point system employed by Southwest airlines means that it is likely to have flights going between your intended origin and destination cities. If you are relying on cheap flights from other carriers, you'll probably be in luck if you happen to be living in a hub city otherwise, you might struggle to find a cheap flight to your intended destination.
Finding the cheapest plane tickets is difficult because travel agents and Internet websites use the central reservation systems that are updated periodically throughout the day. The reason why different searches come up with different results is because the systems are not updated at the same times. And, each system may use different algorithms when searching for low airfare tickets, which can provide a variety of ticket prices.
Romantic Destinations
Demand drives fare prices up or down, and explains why it's usually cheaper to fly on weekdays, late nights, or non-holidays. Ticket pricing is based on competition. And, to complicate matters if one airline drops rates by 20 percent, most airlines will drop their rates as well. This eliminates a discounter's (cheap airfare) competitive edge.
cheap continental tickets
Differences in fares can exist for identical routes on different airlines because one airline might dominate the market share for that destination, thus cheap airfare tickets are not needed to entice passengers. And, all this happens at the speed of light! Prices can change while your credit card information is being provided, and what you thought was the cheapest plane ticket, suddenly isn't so cheap.

3. The particular date that you wish to travel on might be the most expensive day of that week. That just how the airlines works. Go to a site like Travelocity and use their tool that they have to check the price of the dates around your particular date you want to fly. The savings on the other dates may be just what you are looking for.

4. Majority of the time when I book a ticket now, I reserve a round trip ticket. Not because all of the time I am flying back but, most times the round trip tickets are cheaper than the one way flights. Be sure to research this when booking your next flight.

Summer is almost over and I can guarantee more than half the people you know have yet to get away on a vacation. The fact is, most people do not take vacations often enough. In addition to this, increasingly, when individuals do take vacations, they take their work while on them. Taking your work with you on vacation essentially defeats the purpose of a vacation, as you are remaining in the mindset that you're trying to escape. This lack of an ability to relax is problematic for many reasons.
Christmas and New Year
Vacations Promote Creativity
A valuable vacation can help us to reconnect with ourselves. It may encourage self-discovery, allowing us to get back to feeling our absolute best.
Vacations Prevent Burnout
Employees who take time to relax are less likely to experience burnouts. This results in more creative and productive work, unlike under-rested counterparts who will become fatigued and overworked.

Airfare and hotels
If you are traveling somewhere and you do not have a place to stay, than book the hotel at the same time you get the airfare. In other words, if you do not have family in the place you visit then book cheap tickets and hotels. These all inclusive packages are less than if you book separately or wait until you arrive to make the booking for your hotel in or bed and breakfast. You do not want to be caught with a higher price because you missed an opportunity of cheap tickets and accommodations.

Generally it is advisable to book 2 – 6 weeks ahead of the date you would like to fly, and many people recommend booking on Monday – Thursday for the cheapest fares in any season.

Depending on your departing city (e.g., London or Bangkok) or country (e.g., India or Australia), it is a different site that is best. Moreover, your destination also has an influence on which site is most suitable to search for your flight. For example, if you travel to Asia or Australia, you will have to use different search engines than if you travel to Africa or America. To complicate things further, there also exist low cost carriers such as Ryanair, Easy Jet, Jetblue or Jetstar, which are usually not covered by the main search engine sites. Low cost carriers are airline companies that offer fewer services and don't serve all destinations, but they offer much cheaper flights than normal carriers.
My favourite website is Skyscanner. One of the great features about this website is that you can check to see what the best price for the day is for travel worldwide from the airport of your preference. For example, I live in Toronto, so I will enter flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Everywhere. This is a great feature because it will tell me where on that day, which date, month, etc. is cheapest for me to fly anywhere in the world. [I used this site recently to help me get tickets for my trip to Seoul, South Korea in April.
cheap airline tickets allegiant Other airlines were charging $1,000-$1,500+ for flights to Seoul, but Delta was having a promotion and I was able to get round trip flights for only $850 CAD / $770 USD with the exchange rate.]
Another great feature on Skyscanner, is that you can put in your destination and dates of travel and sign up for "Price Alerts" so they will email you if the price goes up or down for your specified dates of travel. [My sister just used this feature to help her get a flight to Edmonton, Alberta for travel in May. Prices for one-way tickets were around $300-$400 and she was able to get it for $269 CAD.]
A low cost airline is a carrier that offers generally low fares in exchange for reducing many of the traditionally offered passenger services, by no means compromising the security of the travelers. The general characteristics of the low cost airlines are:
Flying to cheaper, less congested secondary airports and flying early in the morning or late in the evening to take advantage of lower landing fees; short flights and fast turnaround times, allowing maximum utilization of the aircraft; direct sales of tickets, especially over the Internet, avoiding fees and commissions paid to travel agents and reservations systems; eliminated in-flight catering and other complimentary services, replaced by optional paid-for in-flight food and beverages.

The time of day that your flight leaves the airport can also have a dramatic effect on ticket prices. "Red eye" flights or flights that leave later at night or early in the morning are often much less expensive than flights leaving at other times of the day.

There are many occasions where you come across a popular FLV file that you would like to have as audio. First let me discuss exactly what an FLV file is and how it works. An FLV file is nothing more than Flash video. The reason this video format was created was to deliver video files over the internet.
multiconvert.com FLV files were created by macromedia and have become the standard for video file delivery. FLV files may also be embedded in SWF files as well. Some notable Websites that deliver video through FLV files is YouTube, Google video, Yahoo video and Metacafe. Of these websites YouTube being the biggest supplier of FLV files on the internet.
Google has been evaluating web properties for trust. Their focus has broadened from putting up good content and getting backlinks to building a brand. Yes, small businesses are being rewarded for establishing themselves as a brand. When that brand becomes something people can relate to and trust, Google with its "eyes and ears" everywhere picks up the signals.
search engine
Where do these signals come from? Social media sites are hotspots that furnish Google with plentiful information. There are numerous examples of small businesses that are diligently cultivating a presence on social media sites. They're reaping the rewards in the form of a jump in the SERPs on Google and a consequent traffic boost.
It is best to have flea control before there is a problem. This might mean having your cat wear a collar and giving your dogs baths often. Even with these precautions, the problem can spread and necessitate having your home treated. Whether you put it on your pets or end up needing to exterminate, you need to consider the toxicity. Either way you need to think about it in relation to your children, other family members, and the animals themselves.
advantage flea control
The application of a flea control product on your pet might come in the form of a shampoo. If you have ever tried to bathe a cat, then you know that it is not a pretty sight. This is a good reason to avoid the problem in the first place. A product might also be applied to your home. Sometimes homes are fumigated because of bugs or just sprayed. Whatever the application, make sure that you prepare your home as suggested so that you can protect your family against any toxins.

ITS at Educause
The 2008 EDUCAUSE Midwest Regional Conference Experience
Author: Ralph Shank
Ralph Shank, Media Specialist for Information Technology Services at UIS, attended the 2008 EDUCAUSE Midwest Regional Conference in Chicago and shares some of his experience attending sessions with the campus community:
Title: Challenging IT Leaders to Mashup, Twitter, Tag, and Poke: New IT Strategies for a Digital Society
Presenter: Susan E. Metros – Deputy CIO and Associate Vice Provost, University of Southern California
Susan began her keynote much as the previous year's was begun, speaking about the history of education and the changes that have come over time. She quickly came to our present situation though, addressing the question: Who are our students? In answering this question, she laid out some basic phrases that the students of today might use to express their feelings.
- "Computers aren't technology." – Computers are becoming so ingrained in our everyday lives that they aren't viewed as technology any longer.
- "The Internet is better than TV." – The Internet and the services we can now find on the Internet are so easily accessible that students are turning away from television. The Internet is where to find students and where to communicate with them.
- "Doing trumps knowing." – Students want hands-on experience. They would rather learn by doing than listen to a lecture and attempt to figure it out later.
- "Trial and error trumps logic."
Title: How to Use What We Know: 21st Century Faculty and Students
Presenters: Bradley Cohen – Assistant Director and Coordinator for Curriculum Development, University of Minnesota
J.D. Walker – Coordinator of Research and Evaluation Services, University of Minnesota
Bradley and J.D. presented information gained from a number of focus groups and large class evaluations held at the University of Minnesota. This was a large – scale research project that searched for answers from faculty and students concerning the use of technology in their courses and on campus.
Faculty expressed positive reactions in their preferences and concerns, stating that the majority of the technology presented to them has much potential in the learning environment. The biggest concern for faculty is TIME: time to use, time to learn to use, and a lack of standardization.
Some things that Bradley and J.D. have tried that have worked are:
- Recognition of faculty efforts
- Committing faculty members to large amounts of time to develop skill and understanding (learn and implement tool in 3 years, etc.)
They found that having a process like this in place helps to make the transition to new technology much smoother.
EDUCAUSE 2008 Presentation
Title: Apple and University of Illinois – iTunes U: Tips for Getting Started
Presenter: Munindra Khaund
Abstract: Apple's free iTunes U service offers a powerful way to distribute audio and video content to users on campus and beyond. The three University of Illinois campuses have deployed iTunes U and are using it today. We'll share the strategies they used for technical set-up, site organization, content production, and workflow.
About the Presentation: Munindra Khaund, multimedia education coordinator in Information Technology Services — with colleagues from UIC and UIUC and in collaboration with Apple — presented a session focused on workflow, production and support, and dissemination of information via iTunes U.
Khaund has led the podcasting effort at UIS and two years ago was instrumental in UIS' entrance into the league of elite institutions across the nation that are iTunes U campuses. He is the author of one of the first podcasting "Guidelines and Policies" manuals, a document that has become the foundation for podcasting guidelines and policies at several educational institutions across the country.

Dictionaries are as competitive as any cross-town sports rivalry. I suspect there are fewer incidents of stealing mascots, but the urge to kick your opponent's ass from one goalpost to the other is eternal. The Word of the Year is a nasty, ego driven business. It's ruthless. Not quite a bloodsport -- less cockfighting, fewer carcasses -- but intense none the less. Anyway, Part One is here and Part Two is there. Now, Part three -- Webster's New World® College Dictionary Word of the Year for 2009 is actually a phrase, but somehow the word gods allowed its selection.
Drum roll please!
The Word of the Year is: Distracted Driving.
So to get into the word-groove of Webster's New World's 2009 pick, I'm writing this in traffic as I drive. Drove right by one motorcycle cop already, he never saw my magic thumbs in action. Oh oh!... close call, almost side-swiped the 181 bus on Hollywood Blvd ... OK, now I'm at a red light ... anyway -- I'm blogging this on my Blackberry driving to Amoeba for yet another day in the Lair of the 45's ... left down Vine Ave, I see the chess playing guy is back in front of the Montalban Theater ... right on Sunset, maybe, one of these days ... some people take their sweet ass time crossing the street. Wow, one of LA's finest just gave me a dirty look but kept on going ... now I'm pulling into the parking garage ... Damnit! Dropped the phone under my seat for a second, its not easy making that sharp right turn ... anyway ... word of the year ... actually just a minute, just remembered -- CrackBerry, a mocking term for 'addictive' BlackBerry use was Webster's Word of the Year back in 2006 ... anyway, almost finished here ... looking for parkin ... Oops! not good ...
Distracted Driving is defined as another consequence of what many are guilty of, using digital devices on the go and not paying attention to what they need to be paying attention too, like driving and where they are going and whether or not other people driving might be heading for that same exact, finite location simultaneously. The term is said to be entering the lexicon of lawyers and barristers around the world. Webster calls distracted driving a "sign of the times" and a natural corollary of our ongoing love affair with all things digital and mobile, slick and shiny. The New Oxford American Dictionary also had a word for a similar condition -- intexticated: "distraction caused by texting on a cellphone while driving a vehicle." Webster likes to point out that distracted driving is actually a crime in many places around the world, but here in the good ol' U.S. of A., I believe it's only a national state of mind.
Runners-ups for 2009 Word of the Year at Webster's New World were:
cloud computing: Computer operations in which documents and data are created, edited, and stored remotely on servers and accessed by the user via an Internet connection (this term is so well established that it will likely be added to the annual update of the College Dictionary in 2010).
wallet biopsy: Applies mostly to health care and the means of investigating before medical service is provided, of a patient's ability to pay, enabling the health care provider to decide whether free or discounted medical care is appropriate; a term fueled in part by the debate on national health care reform.
By the way, the 2008 Webster's New World Word of the Year was -- overshare (verb), "divulging excessive personal information, as in a blog or broadcast interview, prompting reactions ranging from alarmed discomfort to approval."

Yet another JVM language? Whiley takes a fresh approach
- 28 October, 2016 21:00
While it might seem like there were already plenty of languages riding atop the JVM, ranging from JRuby to Scala, Groovy to Kotlin, the developers of the open source Whiley language believe they still have something new to offer by tackling the verifying compiler challenge.
A verifying compiler uses mathematical and logical reasoning to check program correctness. "The question I'm trying to answer is whether or not it's possible to build a verifying compiler that could genuinely be used in practice," said main developer David Pearce, a senior lecturer in computer science at the University of Wellington, in New Zealand. "That means it's got to generate reasonably efficient code, it's got to have all the bells and whistles we expect from a modern language, and the compile-time verification has got to work well enough that it adds value and doesn't get in the way."
Whiley uses extended static-checking to eliminate errors at compile time, and like Scala, it leverages both object-oriented and functional programming. Pearce sees it as best suited for apps where safety and security are critical. "For example, the infamous Heartbleed bug contained a buffer overrun, which is exactly the kind of thing that Whiley checks for," he said.
But Whiley, currently is at version 0.3.40, is not ready for prime time yet. "Probably, the best use at the moment is really to help learn about verification," said Pearce. The intent is to improve the verification system so that it could verify realistic programs. "Beyond that, I've just finished a significant rework of the intermediate language used within the compiler. This opens up a lot of possibilities for more interesting back ends other than just the JVM. I'm particularly interested in a C or perhaps LLVM back end, and also JavaScript. I've also been playing around with embedded systems and want to see Whiley running on a micro-controller."

Here I have curled two of the petals.
I love the little twist on this design Carol! I haven't made any of the melted/curled ones in a long time. Now you have me wanting to start again! Thanks for sharing! xoxoxo
so pretty!!!
Great tutorial! Easy to understand and the photographs make it easy to follow along. Looks beautiful on the glove box.
Love it! You give the best tutorials!!!
What a pretty flower. It reminds me of one plucked from a vintage hat. Thanks for the tutorial.
Love this, great how-to - will be giving this a try :o) Scarlett x
you always show things so well, I could actually do this,, thanks for visiting today,, its so good to visit back and forth,,
This is great thanks so much for sharing. Janet Blondell
How cool is this! I'll have to give it a try :) I'll probably turn into some "rose-makin' crazy woman", LOL :)
Warmest hugs, Brenda
Wow , thanks for showing us that. So easy and so pretty too.
I have made the other style with out the petal cuts. I have to say... I'm really liking this version as well. One of my friends saw it some where as well...so to who ever you are out there, Thank You!
That was a great tutorial and I think I may try it! Thanks!
Hi Carol,
Thanks for making this look so easy! Sure beats sewing rosettes!
I'm going to try this and I hope I don't burn the house down! LOL!
Thanks for leaving a comment on my blog! To answer your question about saving money at the grocery store I'm going to direct you to my favorite sight http://www.southernsavers.com
You are in my area so you should have the same stores as I do. This sight will allow you to view the sales add the day before the sale begins and it directs you to all the coupons you will need to match to the sales. Pretty much does the work for you :) Good luck
Finally something I Can DO!!!
Thank you...They are so pretty..who knew it was so easy! I hope I don't burn anything :)
I love when you share stuff like this with us! I have been searching for flowers like this in craft stores, but not finding the right colors. I guess I'll be making my own!
Oh Carol I like this! I might have to try this after we get back from The Farm Chicks!!!!
I love these! I'm going to try it! Thanks! ♥
Carol your flowers are fabulous! Thank you for sharing your technique. These absolutely look amazing. Happy candle warming...
Love these! What a neat trick! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks so much for sharing this!!!!!
This is a new one for me. I love these little flowers and would have never figured out how to make them on my own. Great tutorial!
Carol you are a STAR! love this... just what I need for my chair backs! Thank you xoxoxo
Thank you so much for shearing. I love these beautiful flowers. :)
I agree, This is a great tutorial!
FANTASTIC! I'm so glad you posted the how-tos. I was one of the ones who asked.
BTW, I thought of you repeatedly this past week. I'm trying to purge out in a garage sale, and I kept finding stuff that someone like you could turn from trash to treasure and wanting to save it yet longer in case I grow a little talent.
THANK YOU for posting this. I had seen this too somewhere and forgot about it. I want to make a flower pin for my mother in laws 80th bday next week! I think it would be fun for Kara to give it to her to wear during the party. Have a great weekend my friend!
Good job Carol! This was going to be my next flower tutorial...cutting the petals in...but now I don't have to! (*_*) ~Stacy~
LOVE the tutorial! It is fab and always witty too! ;)
I am going to try this with my vintage glove boxes to see if it helps sell them.
Hello Carol!
Just found you because of this flower!;) It is wondrous, and such a great tutoria! Will give it a try for sure.
I have a different technique to make them, and the result is equally lovely. If you want to see mine, please come here:
I have a stack of fabric I bought for these flowers. They are really pretty.
P.S. I blinged some things in my booth & they sold right away! *thanks for the tips!*
I don't know about your girl friend Carol, but I sure love that hat she is wearing. Chuckle!
I gotta try these flowers ... they are awesome. TY for sharing.
Have a beautiful pink week ~
I LOVE IT! I've seen this somewhere before but I can't even think of where. FABULOUS Girlfriend!
xoRebecca PS: Shopping was a BLAST TODAY! Come to Oklahoma and I'll take you around and we'll have a day. Call me and tell me WHEN to expect you! xoxoxo :)
Love this beautiful flower! I like the extra-ruffled look the petals have. Thanks for taking the time to comment on my 'chocolate' coffee table!
Wow, I have seen several different types of tutorials on making flowers and this one is the simpliest and looks so pretty! thank you for another great tutorial Carol!
It's so beautiful Carol. Reminds me of a peony. If only I had some free time to make some (not to mention the space) I burn the ends of the ribbons for my dresses. I always go outside just in case some little piece comes off and lands on the carpet...yikes! I never liked that no frey stuff. Will you and your Mom take to the road this week? Please wish her a happy birthday for me. I sure hope I look as good as my Mom when I am her age. xo
and you explain it si well!
THANKS for sharing!
happy week!
These are lovely and I think it is something that even I may be able to do. Will be giving these a try, thanks so much. Great blog.
Wow, the flower looks great!
I love this look, but whenever I try I think I am impatient, or maybe have wrong fabric as I burn the edges. They just come out smokey gray. =(
maybe I'll try again.
hi there! Your Blog is so beautiful! You have the most amazing ideas! Thanks for sharing. Your flowers are so pretty and dainty!
My mom and I have been making some of these flowers and we got the idea from this site: http://www.simplyvintagegirl.com/blog/index.php/2010/05/29/tutorial-how-to-make-lovely-fabric-flowers/
She is a sweetie and I know she would love to see the ones you have made too.
Just thought I'd let you know. Keep up the good work!
OMG! I love this one too! laurie
I LOVE you , you know that?! Not only are you extraordinarily generous, but SO DAMN CREATIVE!!! THANK YOU a thousand fold!!! Im off to make some RIGHT NOW! :D
Love it! Tried it. Looks great except that there are teeny tiny singe marks on the edges in different areas. It doesn't look like you have any burn spots. How did you keep that from happening? I am using vintage silky fabric. Maybe that's my problem?? I'm definitely NOT putting it right in the flame-about 2-3 inches above it. Help!!
Anonymous..I am guessing if you are not holding the fabric to close to the flame that it is the fabric that is causing the burn spots. I have the best luck with cheap 100% polyester lining fabric. The older fabrics are probably 100% silk or some other natural fiber.

I had not seen this tutorial before. Fantastic! Can't wait to try it.
Love your tutorial & your flowers! Can I Pin this...with all the hoopla about copy rights I'm a little lawyershy & done see a Pin it button on your blog...so I ask!
I followed your tutorial & linked back to your post on my blog http://inkymema.blogspot.com/2012/03/2012-card-1-easter-pinks.html also Pinned your post!
Okay, this definitely looks addictive! Thanks for the wonderful idea!
Beautiful Flower...tfs
Lovely... such softness and pretty girly colors!! Thanks for sharing how you created this awesome flower!!
How very pretty! Thank you for the great pictures and easy instructions! I will certainly be making some of these, just in time for Mother's Day!
Carol I did a tutorial on these. Since that I have started using my heat gun with tweezers holding them on a cookie sheet. Does the same thing and a lot less dangerous. I love them. Great tutorial.
Carol: you are the Florida Martha Stewart of all things Shabby n Chic! I love this flower and I'm going to do it for my hangers. Lovely blog, beautiful house, great booth! You have magic in your hands, woman! Carmen, ex-soap sanctuary lady.
This is the best flower tutorial!!!! I can't wait to try it! You have made my day today!
WOW! I really love ALL your flowers!
Thanks for sharing!!!

Beautiful, and thank you for the guide. Looks like a lovely embellishment for a dress. Time to go back to the fashion boutique :)
Thank you thank you thank you! I hope my wedding bouquet turns out as beautiful as the one you made. :-D
thank you so much for your tutorial, it's helped me make corsages and bouquets for my wedding!! i couldn't be happier, it was super easy, thank you! :)
I love your tutorial! So much, that I had to try it right away. Well, this is what happened. I tried different synthetic fabrics, like satin and a silk polyester and all my flowers turned out flat. Any suggestions?
Again, thanks for a great tutorial!
Dagmar, you have left me know way to contact you, so I will answer you here. I use the polyester fabric that is used for lining clothes, hope that helps
Sooo beautiful! I like it very much!
Hi, I just love your blog and tbe many pieces you share and that you make! I also adore this flower it's gorgeous! Thank you so much for this fabulous tutorial! Have a lovely rest of your weekend!
Many hugs and blessings...

Hi Carol! I'm working on projects for my daughters wedding. I want to make a few of these flowers to decorate the ringbearers pillow, flower girls basket etc etc. I tried several different fabrics and the edges are all turing black. I tried to keep the fabric away from the flame but then it doesn't curl. Any idea of what I'm doing wrong? How long do you have to keep it over the heat for it to curl. I was guessing just seconds? Maybe I'm impatient? Not waiting long enough? I've spent 30 minutes on this and it's all a flop. But I'm determined LOL! I will keep trying. maybe I need to buy different fabric. But I do have synthetic. Hummmm maybe it's my candle. Maybe it burns black. And I need a different heat source? Thank you for any suggestions.
So pretty! I will have to try this.
My cousin's baby shower is coming up so I have been trying to find some craft ideas. I really love these diy Pins ! I think it would be a cute idea to use flowers and have everyone decorate them differently. I am going to forward this to her so she can see how cute they are!
So lovely, you can be sure I will be trying these, spending a lot of time thinking fabric flowers at the moment. Thank you so much, would it be ok to put a link on to my blog, so I can share this with people.
warmest regards
you ´re so generous!!
Beautiful! I am planning to make a bouquet for my daughter's wedding. When cutting the fabric for the flowers, what is the approximate size of the largest circles? Thanks very much. Dee Theisen - email@example.com
I'm in a process of making headbands for my daughter. This flower is perfect for it. Thanks!
