Be Herpes Freefrom:
Herpes is a prevalent virus which effects at least a third of
the world, be it cold sores or genital ulcers, Herpes is painful
and embarrassing. The pain of Herpes is caused by the fact that
the virus lives in the nerves. It hibernates in the ganglia, and
is officially impossible to kill. Living Herpes Free may be to
live symptom free, or it may be to kill the virus.
Joining forums and support groups is a great way to dispel the
power of Herpes, especially genital herpes, which is due to its
STD nature hard to talk about. Unfortunately what a lot of
people are unaware of is that condoms are not enough to avoid
transmitting genital herpes. It is passed on by infected skin to
skin contact, not through sexual fluids. I have had a lot of
shocked clients, and known shocked health workers who believed
they were being safe through using condoms, to find that they
still contracted Herpes.
As a naturopath, Herpes is one of the most common reasons people
come to me. I have had great results because I understand how
Herpes works in the body, what feeds it, what starves it
nutritionally, emotionally and topically. Herpes is a virus that
needs to be treated on all of these levels. As Herpes
essentially lives in the Nervous System, state of mind, state of
emotion and state of being is the environment in which Herpes
It is hard to fathom, but Herpes can be an ally. It is a
barometer to your health and well-being. Once identified
triggers can be minimized if not eliminated, and if the tingling
of the Herpes virus is noticed you may be able to tell if you
are making a wrong turn somewhere. I know of loads of cases
where genital herpes came up due to uncertainty in intimate
relationships, or pressure from being unable to set boundaries.
When Herpes comes up in these stressful times it is important to
treat the immune and nervous systems, as well as looking at how
to manage relationships with partners, friends, family and
colleagues in a way that isn't compromising your boundaries.
Herpes breaks the body's premier boundary - the skin.
Metaphysically it is essential to maintain integrity. Integrity
is what holds boundaries together. One of the biggest signs of a
Herpes outbreak being on its way is the foul of foulest moods.
It has been described as "being dirty on the world". With this
going on maintaining integrity and right relationship is way
difficult, and doesn't Herpes know it. If you feel this
happening start treating yourself.
Treatment for Herpes is individual. My preferred treatment is to
boost the immune system, support the immune system, use the
antiviral drugs during an outbreak alongside a herbal cream
topically and nutritional advice. Just prior to and during an
outbreak, it can feel like this is a life sentence, but you just
need support, physically, nutritionally and emotionally. Seeking
advice from a naturopath or herbalist is invaluable in treating
Herpes. Even if you don't kill off the virus, you can lengthen
the chain it may hold around you. There is hope to live symptom
free, Herpes Free.

Class warfare?
You mean to tell me that the middle and lower classes are waging warfare against the upper class? The only segment in our society that has benefited immensely from the Bush-era tax cuts over the last decade is the upper class. The average worker's salary in relation to inflation has decreased over the last generation, while compensation for the wealthiest has gone up significantly.

Mercedes is developing a two-door version of the fresh E-Class with our spies catching them during the act.
Under the heavy camouflage is another elegant coupe that will follow the latest Mercedes design language. That means that the new E-Class Coupe will be styled in a similar way with the S-Class Coupe and C-Class Coupe.
Don't let the cladding fool you; the rear end is expected to be as clean as those of its relatives, with a set of slim LED taillights and the star in the middle. Expect to see the same semi-autonomous tech that debuted in the saloon and the same fancy dashboard enhanced with the obligatory sporty touches for the occasion.
As ever, engines and transmissions of the sedan are going to be mirrored in this coupe version, meaning a wide range of petrol and diesel engines. A plug-in hybrid version is also on the cards.
There is no info on whether Mercedes will offer the new E-Class Coupe in an AMG version but we do know that a soft-top convertible version will debut on a later date.

Labour has held the South Yorkshire seat of Rotherham in a parliamentary by-election with Sarah Champion becoming the constituency's first female MP.
Ms Champion, chief executive of the Bluebell Wood children's hospice, secured the seat with 9,866 votes.
UKIP's Jane Collins came second with 4,648 votes and the British National Party's Marlene Guest came third.
The by-election was called following the resignation of the former MP Denis MacShane on 2 November.
Ms Champion said the result "tells David Cameron what Rotherham thinks of the Tories".

Skip to comments.Monmouth Boy Scouts Council to Charge Annual Fee of $52
Posted on 01/23/2006 3:56:02 PM PST by Coleus
Monmouth Boy Scouts to Charge Annual Fee
(MARLBORO, N.J.) The Monmouth Council of Boy Scouts will start charging a $52 annual membership fee, beginning March 15.
Previously, parents paid a one-time registration fee.
The group says it needs the money to help erase more than $1 million in debt that was caused by expenses and professional fees.
The group also is asking parents to match the fee with a voluntary donation.
Families with more than one Boy Scout will get a 25 percent discount on each additional child.
Membership in the Scouts has been on the decline in recent years.
Monmouth BSA
I must say that I have worked with numerous female Scouters and have found them active, able, and dedicated. I know of more than one unit that would not exist due to lack of leadership if women were not allowed to be unit leaders. I have been in Scouting as an adult for over 13 years and have been very active at the District and Council levels and I have never met a female Scouter who was in Scouting for a political/social agenda.
Send me a motivated boy on his 14th birthday and he can get to Eagle a little after his 16th birthday.
I served 8 years as a Scoutmaster, and my own son made Eagle. But I'll say this; there are 8 methods in Scouting. Advancement is one of them. A great many kids go in and out of Scouting without making Eagle (including myself), but they still get a heck of a lot of good out of Scouting. I give all the support I can to help a motivated Scout make Eagle, but I don't see the percentage of kids who make Eagle in a Troop as a measure of the effectiveness of that Troop. Eagle has to be something that the Scout wants to do, not something that I push the kid into because I think that it's the best thing for him or because it makes me look good. The worth of an Eagle is as much the journey it took him to make it as it is the rank itself. If you turn a Troop into "Eagle School", I'm not so sure the kids benefit so much from it.
That's pretty much what our new SM said.
And I agree that not all Scouts want to make Eagle, and will get a great deal out of Scouting without doing so. Our younger son (adopted) has delayed development and really struggled to make 2nd Class. It took him three tries to pass the SM conference. He is getting an enormous amount of personal growth from Scouting.
The thing that makes me angry are the people who hold Scouts back because Eagle is only for "the few". We were really proud of our (older) son because he came home and told us he wanted Eagle, after being told it was next to impossible. We changed troops and he proved he was willing to work hard to get there - so far at least.
Can you tell me about the 8 methods? I am very interested..
Anyway Electronics is on mom's want list, but so far he has not really gone for it. It actually looks like a fairly demanding MB to me...
Here is what he has now (non-Eagle) -
Animal Science
Space Exploration
Fire Safety
Nuclear Science
Snow Sports
He is going to be working on Wilderness Survival next...did you know there is a movement to have it added as a required Eagle badge?
Look at all that "free education" from a lot of professionals. How can any club or other activity come close by comparison in terms of what they have to offer?
I have been giving this more thought and I see what you mean, I think, now. It would be hard to tease apart into separate issues all of the great things about Scouting. I think the wonderful friendships, both for our boys and for us, are a huge part of what we like about it.
Scouting is about GOOD PEOPLE, if I had to sum it up into one thing only.
My Life service project was done at a widow's house on the edge of town. I took my patrol out and we cleared the brush for a 300 foot radius from her home. She had a farm with a barn and field around the house. The brush had grown fairly heavy and we had lots of brush fires (1970) in the area.
I think the Wilderness Survival badge would be an excellent upgrade to the required Eagle badges. It is a very useful skill. Many of those skills were traditionally part of the 2nd and 1st class requirements.
Seems like mostly around here they call it service time. For Star he worked a few days at a food bank - his idea, and he used the same work for his Community badge so the time was well-spent.
He signed up to work at a fundraiser breakfast or something, and our troop gives credit on service time for Scouting for Food. Both of those will happen after he reaches Star this coming Sat. That should give him 4 hours at least.
Which other merit badges did you earn? My son loves to look at the older merit badge names. It sure tells you a lot about our society and how it has changed to look at the merit badges for each generation.
You're certainly not alone. One of the reasons we're going to just get it and be done with it is so that we don't get hit with it as a requirement at the last minute.
There is a lot of money to be made in the boycott industry.
My Life service project was approved by the Scoutmaster. Many of the scouts who participated were given credit toward their advancement as part of the overall effort.
I haven't looked at my merit badge sash in a very long time. In addition to the required badges, I recall: Music, Bugling, Electronics, Electricity, Radio, Firemanship. I'll have to pull it out to check for the remainder. The uniform has been put away since 1972.
1. Ideals
Each Scout commits himself to the personal behavior guides and standards in the Scout motto, the slogan, the Oath and the Law
2. Patrols
Patrols give Scouts experience in teamwork, democracy and leadership.
3. Outdoors
Scouting emphasizes outdoors activities which foster an appreciation of nature and our ecology. Along the way, Scouts practice and learn new skills and develop confidence in their own abilities to cope with obstacles. Scouting is outing!
4. Advancement
The advancement program provides Scouts with a ladder of skills to climb at his own pace. On the way up, he has many opportunities to learn and to be recognized for his achievements.
5. Personal growth
All of the other methods contribute to the personal growth of a Scout through experience. The quest for growth is a method, too.
6. Adult association
Adult leaders, male and female, provide an example to Scouts of the high character they should strive for in their personal growth.
7. Leadership development
Making boys get leadership experiences is one of the most valuable things Scouting does.
8. Uniform
The uniform reminds a Scout of who he is and what is expected of him. It identifies him as part of a patrol, troop, council and worldwide youth movement. He can take pride in being a Scout, and in the achievements shown on his uniform and sash. Even neighborhood gangs recognize the importance of wearing a uniform, their colors.
We were taught these when I took Wood Badge. These are from National.
I think Cooking MB should be required for Eagle, myself.
For anyone who's interested, I'm going to be SPL of Des Plaines Valley Council's Wood Badge course C-20-06 at 9/15-17/06 and 10/6-8/06. If you are a Scouter who has taken basic training and hasn't taken Wood Badge, you should consider it!
Better Cooking than Env Science. My son thinks Fire Safety should be Eagle.
Thank you for posting these for me!
I have never met a female Scouter who was in Scouting for a political/social agenda. >>
how do you know?
Thanks for the suggestion yesterday. I spoke with my son about it. Last night he made arrangments to do the first 4 requirements of Communications this Sat. with his MBC.
He's doing this one with the troop advancement chair because it looks so difficult in terms of arrangements.

I try to go through life with little to no expectations, hope for the best and then give it my all. Take chances, learn from my mistakes and tell that little voice in my head that says I can't, to sit back and enjoy the show.
However, recently my initial thoughts have been that odds are I might fail. But odds are just numbers that hold no meaning in Randy Land. In the end, when the dust has settled and I've achieved my goal that at first seemed risky, I just sit back and realize "damn dude I am impressed."
Self doubt is a disease that can only be cured by changing your thinking or proving yourself wrong. Sometimes you can push away self doubt with a quick mental moment where you realize that if you said out loud the thoughts that were in your head you would sound like a dumbass.
But the most effective and exciting cure for proving yourself and others wrong is by going out there and just doing it. The Nike company might have an overpriced clothing line but their slogan is worth its weight in gold! "JUST DO IT"
A slow and steady pace forward might get you to your destination but what's to say you don't get lost or run out of fuel before you get there?
It's like the moment before you get into a pool or lake or the ocean. You can either walk slowly in and let the water numb your body till it seems warm or you can run, jump and scream your way towards an exciting splash.
Sure, at first it's intense but five to ten seconds later your swimming around telling others they need to jump in cause the water's perfect and they're all missing out.

Baking is my drug. No, seriously. I'm addicted. It's a problem. I would be so much more efficient as a whole if someone would just lock me out of the kitchen. I mean, if there was such a thing as Bakers Anonymous, I feel like I'd be obligated to sign myself up. But, then again, I'm pretty sure that even monthly support meetings and a Bakers Anonymous sponsor wouldn't be able to quail my addiction…
Like just the other day, for example. As soon as I got the kitchen cleaned up after lunch, I had the sudden urge to bake. Who cares that I had other things on my agenda, as in tasks that really needed to be done. It's like I fell into a trance and had those spinning cartoon eyes and all I could think was Must bake. Must bake now…
And it was over from there…
I have some pureed butternut squash stocked up in the freezer from this Fall that I need to use up…
Pumpkin bread would be nice…
Maybe I'll even throw some dark chocolate chunks in there to make the kids happy…
But then, as if through divine intervention, I started experimenting and soon found myself with something even more fabulous than I had hoped for – DONUTS.
When I bit into that first perfect little donut, I'm pretty sure I heard angels singing. Or, maybe I was just me imagining how ridiculously happy my kids were going to be the next morning when they discovered donuts on the breakfast table. Either way, there was a definitely a chorus of hallelujahs!
Now, if you're looking for something resembling the airy, deep fried donuts you get at Krispy Kreme, then you should probably just keep on hunting because you're not going to find that here. But, if you're looking for a tasty cake donut made with clean ingredients that you can serve up to your kids without feeling the least bit guilty then I'm happy to say that you've come to the right spot. These Paleo Dark Chocolate Chunk Donuts with Chocolate Glaze make the perfect kid-friendly breakfast or snack. Plus, they're super easy to make!
You'll start by combining your wet ingredients in a bowl and mixing well.
Next up, you'll combine your dry ingredients in a different bowl, before pouring them into your wet ingredients and blending with a handheld mixer.
Now for my favorite park: the chocolate chunks. You could use chocolate chips, but I like to chop up a bar of good dark chocolate into small chunks. And hey, no judgement if a few chunks accidentally fall into your mouth:)
Now you'll just fold all that chocolate into your batter until it's evenly dispersed. Your batter will be quite thick, but that's totally normal.
Next, grab that donut pan you've already sprayed down or coconut oiled up. I recommend dusting with coconut flour in addition to your coconut oil to ensure minimal stickage.
And yes, I just made that word up and yes, I am fully aware that I could've just said sticking, but what can I say? Sometimes I don't like to play by the rules.
But, I digress. Back to our donuts: simply spoon your batter into the molds, making sure to smooth it out with a small spoon or butter knife.
Next up, stick those babies in your preheated oven for 12-13 minutes, keeping in mind that every oven cooks differently. Your donuts are done when you can stick a toothpick in the center and it comes out squeaky clean!
Let them cool in the pan for at least 5 minutes – patience is a virtue, so don't skip this step. When your donuts have cooled sufficiently, take a butter knife and ever so gently run it around the sides of each donut mold and around the center spoke. This is a tiny bit tedious but is worth it because it helps dislodge the donuts and keeps them from breaking.
Handle the donuts with care, as they're a bit fragile while still warm. Let them cool completely on a wire rack, then cover or drizzle them with the easy-peasy chocolate ganache.
A little secret: these donuts are super tasty even without the ganache, so if you're too lazy to deal with the icing, just go ahead and enjoy these babies plain!
If sprinkles are your jam, here's your chance to go crazy! Heck, you could even opt for mini chocolate chips or dried coconut…. the options are endless.
If you do go for sprinkles, here's a word to the wise: only sprinkle your donuts when you're ready to serve. If you plan on refrigerating your glazed donuts, be sure to hold off on the sprinkles until you remove them from the fridge. As I've learned one to many times, sprinkles have a tendency to dissolve into the ganache, leaving only a gooey smears of faded color where your little balls of happiness one lay.
Okay, that's all you need to know to whip up these fabulous little treats! Now it's your turn…
Let me know what you think if you get a chance to make these! Oh, and don't forget to use the hashtag #frenchblissme in your photos on Instagram so I can take a peak at your lovely Paleo Dark Chocolate Chunk Donuts 🙂
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup organic pumpkin puree (225 g or 8oz)
- 1/2 cup creamy full fat coconut milk
- 1/3 cup maple syrup
- 1 tbsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup blanched almond flour
- 1/4 cup arrowroot powder ( or potato starch or tapioca flour )
- 1/2 cup + 1 tbsp organic coconut flour (61 grams)
- 1 tsp baking soda
- pinch of fine grain sea salt
- 3/4 cup dark chocolate, chopped (or chocolate chips)
- 1/4 cup dark chocolate, chopped (or semi-sweet chocolate chips)
- 1/3 cup full fat canned coconut milk
- - sprinkles
- - mini-chocolate chips
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and grease a donut pan by brushing with coconut oil and dusting with coconut flour. Make sure the spoke in the center of each mold is greased well.
- In large bowl, combine eggs, pumpkin puree, coconut milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.
- In a medium bowl, combine almond flour, potato starch (or arrowroot or tapioca flour), coconut flour, baking soda, spices, and salt.
- Slowly mix the dry ingredients in with the wet ingredients until combined. Feel free to add mini chocolate chips in the mix if you so desire. The batter will be relatively thick due to the coconut flour.
- Spoon batter into your donut molds. Run the back of a spoon or knife across your batter once it is in the mold in order to smooth it out.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-13 minutes or a toothpick inserted in the center of donut comes out clean.
- Let your donuts sit in the pan for at least 5 minutes before carefully transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. I recommend taking a butter knife and very gently running it around the sides of the donuts and around the center spoke of each donut in order to facilitate removal from the pan.
- While your donuts are cooling, mix up your ganache by melting the chocolate with the coconut milk in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir continuously to ensure that your chocolate does not burn. Once a thick, shiny mixture forms, remove from heat and set aside.
- When donuts are completely cooled and the ganache has cooled and thickened, frost your donuts by spooning or drizzling the ganache on to them. *Add sprinkles if so desired. The ganache will thicken but remain creamy at room temperature.
- Serve and enjoy! Donuts will keep in an air tight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Coconut flour is very absorbant so you want to make sure you measure it correctly. I suggest you weigh your coconut flour, but you can alternatively use the "scoop and level" method.
- Pumpkin puree can be replaced with pureed butternut squash.
- These donuts do not taste of pumpkin. If you want to make them more pumpkin-y, reduce the vanilla to 1 tsp and add 1 tsp of pumpkin spice.
- I used a 6 cavity donut pan - alternatively you can use a 12 cavity mini-donut pan or muffin pan, though you will need to adjust cooking time when doing so.
- If you plan to refrigerate the donuts, do not add sprinkles until just before serving. The sprinkles will dissolve and run into the ganache when refrigerated.

Starting a headphone amp project, need general help.
I've been trying to start this project for a while. Long story short, I've got a few op-amps and enough stuff to begin putting something together, but I'd like some input and help. I'm limited by working with what I have on hand now. I haven't been able to order anything online for the project and everything I have was paid for by a friend.
Anyway, on to the specifics. I'm looking at creating an amp for my Grado SR80i's, which means I've got the fact that they're low impedance to deal with along with all the other design considerations.
I'm planning on using a 15 volt wall wart (has multiple output voltages actually) which is probably a SMPS.
I'm planning on creating a virtual ground and then creating a buffer circuit out of discrete elements.
I have 2 different op-amps on hand, and I really dont know which one would be better for the amplification process and which would be better suited for the virtual ground (or if there would even be a difference in the vground between them). My op-amp knowledge is pretty much limited to a very basic understanding along with being able to understand some of the datasheet information (I am an electrical engineering student, but it's been quite some time since I covered op-amps and what we did cover was more or less an overview of "here's what they do, here's some places they're used, on to the next subject")
I've got some TLC272ACP and some TL074CN op amps, and 2 2N3904's.
I'm aware this is likely not exactly optimal in any way shape or form, but I consider this a starting point. If I can get something that works out of this, I'll have learned a lot about what I'm working with and maybe in the future when I have money and the means to order parts online, I'll order some better parts to work with.
Got me some TLC272APC, TL074CN, and 2 2N3904's, help me design a working vground/buffer circuit and let me know which would be better in the audio line.

Google cmoy. Click the link to tangentsoft.net
Build a basic cmoy with 2 * 9V batteries using the TLC272.
I'd omit the virtual ground and use the junction of the batteries as ground, but that's my personal preference, there's an arguable risk of damage to the 'phones if one battery is discharged, but the technical performance is better, just make sure you use 2 new batteries from a 2-pack (same sell-by date).
That's it.

You can also create a dual power supply with the wall wart. Headwize shows simple plans for a NiCad trickle charger that will enable you to power off the wall and save your batteries when you are near an outlet. I have built this and it works well.

I was actually looking at the cmoy as a basis. Quick question: Why is the TLC272 better for the amp than the TL074?
I don't have a battery holder or any money to get a hold of one
I don't really plan on the amp being ultra-portable, which is why I'm fine with the wall wart.
I'm a broke-*** college student, I'm avoiding taking loans so my parents are helping pay for things and any work I can find helps, but I haven't found any work recently so yeah :/
If I'm going with the cmoy design should I add the load side resistor suggested in the addendum for dealing with low impedance phones?

It's unlikely the DC offset resulting from a virtual ground and low impedance phones will result in damage to the phones, but the Grados are not cheap. You can measure the offset to help you make up your mind.
A large cap (470u) at each output is a better solution than a resistor IMO, any distortion is likely to be less audible than the effect on the frequency response of a resistor, but resistors are cheaper than caps.
You may be able to salvage some components from dead equipment.

The CMoy schematic I found has quite a high voltage gain (times 10), which seems excessive. IMHO, since you probably don't want (and can't get) more than about 1V output and most sources can give more than 1V input, a unity gain configuration might be suitable.
Since you mentioned having more than one TLC272 available, there's a couple of ways to put extra chips to use:
A) Using 2 opamps in parallel per channel gives you double the maximum output, and lower distortion at lower levels.
B) You could use one chip to make a better virtual ground.
I'm assuming you can get hold of a few resistors and capacitors?
Some ideas below.

As for parts, you mentioned being an EE student. Isn't there an electronics lab on campus where you can try scrounge some components? (Bambi eyes, "Please Sir...") I once got a whole box of stuff from a local college when they were clearing out a store room and tossing the stuff out.
Plan B is to head down to the local garbage dump and look for an old bust radio or something you can strip.
p.s. Power supplies from old desktop computers are a goldmine too. If it's still working, you can make a nice standalone 12V power supply. If it's dead, you can strip it for parts.
btw; How are you planning to build this - point to point wiring or Veroboard or...?

I've already tried getting stuff from the college, but it didn't really work out. The EE stuff there mostly focuses on either industrial automation or power generation and distribution, and there really isn't much in the way of parts. I did manage to get a hold of an old oscilloscope for free when they replaced the old ones with fancy new ones, which is kinda nice considering that's what I'm using as a multimeter for the time being (yeah, shoestring budget :P)
I might just see if there is an old power supply laying around I can scavenge. I'm not a stranger to scavenging for parts. I've got a microwave transformer rated at 120v:4200v sitting around here somewhere from my girlfriend's old microwave.
What effect does output capacitors have vs resistors?
I have a total of 4 100uf caps on me, 2 rated at 25v and 2 rated at 50. The 50V's are from the same company, the other 2 aren't.
I do have a number of small tantalum caps (3 of them read 0.1 35, one reads 105 35). I had a few more and they might still be laying around.
I plan on breadboarding this first and then once the design is finalized I've got some protoboard I can use.

STCU Skip-a-Pay!
St. Thomas Credit Union encourages members to make responsible financial decisions, but we also know there are times in life when it can be a challenge to make your monthly loan payment. Whether this reason is a sudden emergency, or as we get into the holidays, a need to purchase gifts for your loved ones, STCU has started a Skip-a-Pay program to make these troubling times easier on you.
With the STCU Skip-a-Pay program, you can skip one monthly, or two bi-weekly payments, once every twelve rolling months on a qualifying loan*. If you have more than one qualifying loan, you may submit a request to skip-a-pay on each loan.
When you skip a payment, your loan term will be extended by one month. This can increase the total interest you pay over the life of the loan. Interest will continue to accrue on your unpaid balance on a daily basis resulting in a greater amount of your next scheduled payment to be applied toward interest. By skipping a payment(s) the benefit from disability, life, and/or Guaranteed Asset Protection (GAP) may be reduced by the amount of the payment skipped.
To skip your payment you should complete the Skip-a-Payment Agreement. This form must be returned to us at least five (5) days before your payment is due, but no more than thirty (30) days prior to the due date. Please note that the borrower and the co-borrower or guarantor (if applicable) MUST sign the form. The processing fee for the Skip-a-Pay is $35.00. This fee must be paid before any modification to the loan will be made. A fee must be paid for each loan that you are applying to skip a payment on. If the Skip-a-Pay request is not approved, the $35 fee will be refunded to you. Please read the form carefully before returning it, as it will explain any other important information you will need to know.
Loans not eligible

By now, I'm sure you all know of the 'launch day' problems that EA's SimCity has been experiencing. I put 'launch day' in quotations because I'll consider the real launch date when everyone that's purchased the game can play it. I'm not here to complain about all of the problems; there's enough of that happening, and me adding to it doesn't change anything. I'm in the same boat as most of you: I bought a game, I got excited, and I can't play it right now.
The problem I have is with Polygon's review of SimCity and the thought process behind their review. Now, I visit Polygon daily. I dig their writers and enjoy the site, but I take issue with the journey of their review score over the last 24 hours. Polygon had one of the first reviews up for SimCity, giving the game a 9.5 out of a possible 10. While there are other sites that have review up, as well, most sites have reviews in progress with no attached score. The thought process is that it's hard to assign a score when you don't know what the user experience will be when it launches — mostly due to lag, server issues, connectivity, etc.
There were some journalists that even said not to trust a SimCity review; Penny Arcade said it about their own review. Regardless, the score was up on Polygon and it was a 9.5. Then everyone tried to play the game. And most people couldn't. And everyone freaked out — rightfully so. Problems ranged from the product key not working, not being able to update, the game crashing and no pre-loading, to not being able to claim a plot, stuck in an infinite tutorial loop and the servers losing your city and rolling back. Oh, and let's not forget the 30-minute queue times.
Suddenly, the 9.5 rating from Polygon looked a little premature.
And then it happened.
Polygon changed their score from a 9.5 to an 8 in less than 24 hours.
The 'updating' of their score is justified in their review policy, which states that "the era of the game as a static product is essentially over." In more details, here's what it says:
At Polygon, we operate on the supposition that reviews are a critical evaluation of a game on the day of its release, which the score we assign reflects. As a primary means of informing our readers, a static review score has a very limited shelf life. But review scores also serve as a foundation for a site's legacy and credibility with its audience. They're one of the ways that readers understand where a site is coming from. This makes changing review scores a taboo topic.
But we can update them.
Polygon's reviews and database have been built based on the idea of updates, or "bumps," as I've called them. If a game changes in a substantive way, we can add an update to our reviews that informs you how and why, and we can modify our scores accordingly. This will appear on the reviews in question as a timeline of that game's evolution and our corresponding recommendation (or lack thereof). The original review score will never vanish or go away, but our readers will be able to better understand where our opinions as a site reside over time for games we review.
No other sites I know of are pioneering review scores in this way. Polygon is the first site to trundle off into this perilous, new territory, and before the world of readers has a chance to decide if it's a good idea, here are some potential issues.
The first problem that comes to mind is what are they going to do when the server problems are fixed? Assuming that in the next few days all of the server issues are ironed out and fixed, will Polygon change their review score back to a 9.5? And if they do, changing the score to an 8 in the first place is a lesson in futility. Who is being catered to when a game is scored a few points lower every time there's an issue? It doesn't do a service to the reader, because if you can change scores on a whim, the credibility of your scores will be called into question every time.
Naturally, when the change in score was announced on their Twitter feed, readers also had questions. This particular exchange caught my eye:
I had two knee-jerk reactions to this. One was, "Who's winning here? Are you just changing your score to appease all the SimCity players that can't play the game and are complaining?" The other was, "Well that's stupid." Not only does non-static review scores create a moving target for criticism, but it leads me to question the original score. Here's what I take away from it:
- In a world where there were no server problems and everyone that bought the game got to play it without issue, SimCity is a 9.5 — a near perfect game.
- In reality, where only a third of the players can actually play the game as intended, SimCity is a game worthy of an 8.0. I repeat: in a game that is not working for over half of its player base, SimCity is still an 8.0.
- By that logic, if SimCity didn't work for anyone, the lowest score it should receive is a 6.0. That would mean that a game that doesn't work wouldn't be rated a 0/10.
You can say my logic might be flawed, but you get the idea.
Another slippery slope is deciding what events are deserving to have a score adjusted. Since this review policy wasn't in place for Diablo 3, there's no score history for that game's launch. But since games aren't static and should have updated scores, it's a reasonable argument to expect an updated review with every patch of a game. If League of Legends servers go down, do Polygon editors hop on and change their review score of League of Legends until the issue is resolved? When PSN got hacked and no one could play any of their PlayStation 3 games' multiplayer, did Polygon change the review score for every PlayStation 3 game that had multiplayer? In that example, PSN is the equivalent of Origin, meaning if SimCity had its score dropped for server problems, shouldn't all the PS3 games have had theirs adjusted for PSN problems?
Obviously not, and that's the point. Don't get me wrong — Polygon's bravery is commendable. In trying to quickly and accurately address the fluctuation that now accompanies most online games, they're plunging into new waters, and making some big asks of their readers. Can we trust that rating bumps are always at the behest of the reviewer, and not the developer? Probably. But this new semi-transparent approach to hitting a moving target presents a very slippery slope.

Q: What is your favorite and least favorite Halloween candy?
Eric: First, I want to congratulate you on your 500th post the other day. You didn't even know until I told you about it! I can't believe you have posted 500 times already and you weren't even aware of it.
Now to my answer… My favorites: Twix is #1, Reese's peanut butter cups is a close second.
For the ones I don't like, I'll give you a few I won't touch: Good & Plenty, Three Musketeers and most importantly The Charleston Chew since it will pull the fillings right out of your head.
Q: What do you like about Halloween?
Eric: I like when you are forced to buy a bag of candy because you never know if some trick or treater is going to show up…. and then they don't.
Q: What don't you like about Halloween?
Eric: What I don't like is having to eat the candy in the dark.
(Okay, I have no idea what that means and I don't think I want to know why you are eating in the dark…)
Q: Any differences about Halloween in the south?
Eric: Yes. On all the church signs they call it "Trunk-or-Treat." Not sure what that is all about. They must not like tricks.
(What it means is that the church parking lot will be filled with cars and there will be candy in their cars and the kids go from car to car instead of house to house. Not sure if the candy is in the trunk or if that's the saying "Do you want a treat or go in the trunk." A lot safer I would say, unless you choose to get into some creepy stranger's trunk. That would not be good).
Q: What annoyed you this week?
Eric: This week was easy to answer and it's a tie: First, is my fantasy football league and the outrageous 'snack board' during Thursday night's football game. As Commish of five seasons, all I can say is that I now have a few 2-year-olds in my league.
Second, was when you informed me that today is the start of Christmas movies on the Hallmark channel. Can't they wait until Thanksgiving? Please! You will be annoying me for weeks!
*** the picture above was taken for Eric's football league page. Eric carved the pumpkin for the league's name, "Brady Gaga" and he decorated a ceramic cheerleader that my godmother made for me when I was a child. And of course I took the shot while the food network was airing their halloween pumpkin carving competition.)

"Who's Your Caddy" Unveils Revolutionary New Mobile Golf Application that Benefits Golfers and Courses – and its Free
MILFORD, CT (March 30, 2012) – Who's Your Caddy, a free, cutting edge mobile golf application, is about to change the way golfers, golf courses, and advertisers view mobile apps. Not just another golf app, this mobile app is the first of its kind. A win-win-win for all parties involved: golfers, golf courses, and advertisers.
Who's Your Caddy, created by parent company Red Mat Media, will be available in early April on iTunes, and by May 1 for Androids.
Three key features set this product apart from other golf apps. First, Who's Your Caddy is a FREE mobile app for both the golfer and the golf courses.
"Other golf apps can charge the course to be on the app. With Who's Your Caddy, not only does the course not pay a cent for the app, it can also make revenue from it with our revenue share program. We create partnerships with golf courses and users, no other golf app can say that," said Timothy Lyon, CEO of the parent company of Who's Your Caddy, Red Mat Media.
Secondly, Who's Your Caddy serves up "Gimmes" to its golfers. Gimmes are free gifts from businesses in the golfer's neighborhood, such as a gift certificate to a restaurant. Golfers will be alerted of their free Gimme via a text while they are using their WYC unit during golf.
"The Gimmes really separate Who's Your Caddy from our competition," said President Suzanne Cahill-Manning. "It is a win-win-win program. Our advertisers gain exposure and direct access to potential new customers. The golf courses offer a benefit to their players, and receive a portion of advertising revenues. And of course, the golfers win with the Gimmes while using the very best golf app on the market. And it is all free."
Third, Caddy Tips give golfers details of each hole on the course through videos from the club professional. He will offer tips on how to play each hole during a short video, just as if a caddy were standing by the player's side pointing out the strategies of the hole.
Maybe the most important aspect of Who's Your Caddy for the courses that sign on is the unique advertising program. Via WYC sales reps, local businesses will buy advertising on the mobile app for a small annual fee. A portion of that fee goes into a bonus pool, which is divided among the participating courses based on usage at each facility.
There is no expense to the golf courses, yet they'll benefit greatly. They will engage their customers in a revolutionary new mobile golf application unique to their course, drive traffic to their courses, develop co-op relationships with neighborhood businesses, and make extra revenue.
Golf's most complete mobile app is FREE to the courses and the players. Golfers earn Gimmes – free gifts from neighborhood businesses – by simply using Who's Your Caddy app. Participating courses earn revenue through Who's Your Caddy's unique advertising program, and all they have to do is make their players aware of the app. Caddy-like advice is provided for each hole via a short video in which the golf professional explains how to play the hole. And all the other cutting edge tools expected from mobile golf apps are offered on the Who's Your Caddy app.
Leading the way in relationship marketing, RED MAT MEDIA brings a fresh voice, distinctive ideas, innovative concepts, and positive messaging to customized print, digital, audio, mobile, and visual communications. From award-winning print publications to cutting edge websites, digital publications, mobile tagging, and mobile apps, RED MAT MEDIA delivers a portfolio of custom communications tools that strengthen current relationships and help form successful new alliances.

Pete Townshend: "'You Better You Bet' was a very spontaneous lyric. A fairly spontaneous, peppy song; it's a pop song, really, it's just a pop song."
T-Rex, the group headed by Marc Bolan, started out as John's Children which was one of the first groups signed to The Who's Track Records. They often opened for The Who in the mid-late 1960's. The arpeggio synth track is performed on a Yamaha E70 home organ. Released as a single in the U.K. February 27, 1981 backed with "The Quiet One". It reached #9. In the U.S., the single hit the Billboard charts on March 21, 1981 reaching #18 (#15 inCash Box). This version, edited to 3'58, was The Who's last Top Twenty single. Pete recorded the original demo of the song in March 1980. It later appeared on his solo album Another Scoop.
The Who first performed it live January 25, 1981 on the first date of their U.K. tour and it has remained a live staple ever since. Live versions appear on the 1989 The Who/Live featuring the Rock Opera 'Tommy' video, the 1990 Join Together album and The Who & Special Guests Live at the Royal Albert Hall video (2000). The Who also mimed to the single on their last appearance on BBC's Top Of The Pops March 5, 1981 and the spare, black-and-white music video, their first to appear on MTV, can be found on the Who's Better Who's Best video. This track is 5'32 on the 1997 remix. According to R. Rowley, the background music is played on a Yamaha E70 organ. Click here for more details.

You welcome me with open arms and open legs
I know only fools have needs but this one never begs
I don't really mind how much you love me
A little is really alright
When you say come over and spend the night
Chorus: (as above)
I lay on the bed with you
We could make some book of records
Your dog keeps licking my nose
And chewing up all those letters
Saying "you better"
You better bet your life
You better love me, all the time now
You better shove me back into line now
You better love me, all the time now
You better shove me back into line now.
I showed up late one night with a neon light for a visa
But knowing I'm so eager to fight can't make letting me in any easier
I know tha~t I been wearing crazy clothes and I look pretty crappy
But my body feels so good and I still sing a razor line everytime.
And when it comes to all night living
I know what I'm giving
I've got it all down to a tee
And it's free.
Chorus: (as above)

Nik's Learning Technology Blog is one of the more useful blogs for educational technologies. It guides educators and students alike to use web tools for English language teaching and learning. Not only does the blog enhance learners' and teachers' awareness about the educational resources available online, but it also empowers them by alerting them to where they can find these resources and how to use the resources in the language learning classroom.
The navigation bar (see Figure 1) provides nine tabs for the user to explore the blog. We will visit the main tabs in this review.
Figure 1. Nik's Learning Technology Blog navigation bar
The "home" tab contains short, clear descriptions about the selected educational technologies and the blogger's (Nik's) experience using them. This is where the blogger provides a summary of a resource and elicits comments, reactions, and reflections from others about the resource. As with most other blogs, posts are organized by date; newer articles/posts appear above older ones. Most of Nik's posts are interactive, allowing blog visitors to contribute to the post. For example, in a section called "Criteria for Evaluating Web Tools and Apps" the blogger suggests some assessment criteria for evaluating the pedagogical worth of sites, incorporating a small survey for the readers to vote for the criteria suggested, sharing pros and cons for the proposed criteria and inviting the readers to suggest other criteria (see Figure 2). This unique feature of the interactive blog posts provides different points of view on the topic being discussed.
Figure 2. Homepage with an interactive post
The "More Articles" page (see Figure 3) provides a list of articles that have been published on the blog since it was started in 2007. The articles are organized chronologically, with more recent evaluations of resources appearing at the top. All articles reviewed are related to technology integration in teaching and learning.
Figure 3. "More Articles" page
On the "Free Downloads" page (see Figure 4), Nik provides his blog followers with the option to download some of his articles and documents free of charge. As stated on this page, the documents are designed to "help teachers teach themselves to use technology" and provide step-by-step picture tutorials on how to use different Web tools.
Figure 4. "Free Downloads" page
On the "Talks and Workshops" page (see Figure 5), users have the option to sign up for Nik's face-to-face or online workshops and conference events where he trains groups of teachers and managers to appropriately use different technology and web tools. Users may sign up to receive newsletters notifying them of upcoming talks and workshops.
Figure 5. "Talks & Workshops" page
On his "E-Portfolio" page (see Figure 6), Peachey uses a website called Scoop.it to show a collection of his writings on the web, including reviews, tutorials, manuals, and articles. The page also allows users to share and comment on Peachey's work.
Figure 6. Nik Peachey's E-Portfolio
The "Edtech News" page (see Figure 7) displays a database of different news and research relating to learning technology on the web. Here users may read, comment on, and share technologies for free. Peachey also provides his own insight and opinions to each of the news selected.
Figure 7. News and research related to technology database
On the "Web Tools" page (see Figure 8), Peachey provides a list of web-based applications to help learners exploit particular educational resources on the web. Each resource is accompanied by his ideas for using the specific web tools in the classroom. Users are encouraged to comment on or share these "scoops."
Figure 8. "Tools For Learners" page
Finally, Peachey allows his blog follower to stay connected to his blog through social media by incorporating a plug-in feature located on the bottom right of the home page. Icons for Twitter, Facebook, Email, and Youtube, as well as a search and translate feature, are included.
Evaluation and Applications
According to Crook et al. (2008), there are four central themes that summarize the impact of Web 2.0 application in educational settings: inquiry, collaboration, literacies, and publication (see Figure 9). The authors state, "These four themes define a set of possibilities for the appropriation of Web 2.0 in educational practice" (p. 28, 2008). In this evaluation of Nik's Learning Technology Blog, we will examine the blog's appropriateness for teaching and learning English in the light of the four themes suggested by Crook et al. (2008).
Figure 9. The four central themes surrounding Web 2.0 applications in education (Adapted from Crook et al., 2008)
Nik's Learning Technology Blog offers a rich space for inquiry by providing a wide range of articles about educational technologies and by introducing and reviewing web tools. Another way the blog motivates users' inquiry is with the inspiring homepage surveys which invite users to participate. The blogger also introduces interesting authentic topics on the homepage and seeks readers' interaction and participation through voting. Thus, the blog elicits different insights about the users' thoughts and interests and encourages the user to be "an independent learner" by "[inviting] new ways for a learner to conduct personal research" (Crook et al., 2008, p. 27).
Navigating Nik's Learning Technology Blog engages the learner in a variety of creative online tools and resources that can be utilized in educational settings. As a form of new literacies, this blog provides various ways of presenting ideas, expressing meanings, and introducing innovative technologies. The blog represents a creative repository for teachers, students, and digital immigrants and digital natives alike. Being rich in digital text, digital artifacts, authentic material, and new internet tools, the blog stimulates considerable growth in the users' creative exploitation of the internet. Besides exploring the new web tools, surfing Nik's blog involves users in learning through communication and social practices, thereby joining members in the "discourse" of new literacies by understanding language and its social context (Gee, 1999; Lankshear & Knobel, 2003).
The blog is a sort of social club based on text-based communication, involving identity expression and interaction between users. It allows blog users to communicate with each other and the blogger freely in a friendly and professional environment where they can eventually "learn and build knowledge" (Mcloughlin & Lee, 2007, p. 667). By joining this social club, even users with a more basic background in computer skills can participate and add to the collaborative atmosphere. Users can develop teaching skills and creative approaches to using web resources, as well as share experiences with other teachers and learners.
Nik's blog helps its users to be publishers in many ways. First, the blog guides users by giving them a solid understanding of resources that will enable them to "make their work available to the rest of the world" (McLoughlin & Lee, 2007, p. 667). Second, Peachey leads simple, informal interactions with users and he inspires novice writers to choose their publication resources using his reviews of the tools. Third, the blogger motivates users to post their "user-generated content" (Egbert, 2005; McLoughlin & Lee, 2007) and to publish their ideas and comments, which will eventually prepare blog followers to create their own blogs and social networking accounts.
In addition to evaluating this blog using the four criteria suggested by Crook et al. (2008), it is worth noting that it is free, accessible, and simple to use, helpful for both students and teachers, and can be connected to users' lives and previous learning (Crook, 2008; Egbert, 2005; Peachey, 2009). Finally, to evaluate this blog using the criteria suggested in Peachey's own blog, his blog is easily learnable and teachable.
To summarize, Nik's Learning Technology Blog is a very useful, interactive, and authentic resource for English language teachers. Besides the reviews of web tools, users have the option to read, download, share and/or comment on the articles or posts published in the blog. Teachers who are interested in integrating technology into their classroom can teach themselves how to do so by using the freely available resources on this blog.
