JLeRN and the JISC OER Rapid Innovation Projects
The HE Academy / JISC OER3 Programme's new Rapid Innovation strand projects kicked off last week in London at the Programme Meeting. We are thrilled that there are four projects within the strand who want to work with us on Learning Registry related developments.
With only four months left for JLeRN, we want to make the most of the time we have, and participating in well-thought-out projects meeting real requirements in the OER space seems like a good way to consolidate what we've learned so far. All of these projects involve folk who supported us by coming to the Hackday in January and the CETIS Conference Learning Registry session in February so it'll be nice to give something back.
The four projects we are working with are as follows (NB: There were a few other sparks of interest in the OER Rapid Innovation projects' breakout session, so I think we may pick up a few more along the way: don't be shy to get in touch if you'd like to work with us. UPDATE: We've added a new one already- read down to the end of the list for CAMILOE! And another: SupOERglue from Newcastle University, check under RIDLR!):
Rapid Innovation Dynamic Learning Maps-Learning Registry (RIDLR)
Based at Newcastle University, and led by Simon Cotterill, this project will build on their Dynamic Learning Maps work, and their FavOERites social bookmarking project, to develop "open APIs to harvest and release paradata on OER from end-users (bookmarks, tags, comments, ratings and reviews etc.) from the Learning Registry and other sources for specific topics, within the context of curriculum and personal maps." Also (added to post 4/04/12) from the Dynamic Learning Maps folks at Newcastle, we have the SupOERglue project, led by Suzanne Hardy, which aims to enable easy content creation and aggregation related to specific topics. They will also be looking at collecting paradata on OER from end-users.
Sharing Paradata Across Widget Stores (SPAWS)
Based at Bolton University (with partners KMi (Open University); IMC AG, Saarbruecken; Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium) and led by Scott Wilson, this project will use the Learning Registry infrastructure to share paradata in the form of user views, reviews and ratings about educational widgets across four existing widget stores.
Xerte Experience Now Improved: Targeting HTML5 (XENITH)
Based at Nottingham University (with partners JISC TechDIS, EDINA and Mimas (us!)), and led by Julian Tenney, this project builds on the Xerte Online Toolkits, which integrates directly with the Xpert Repository. As an adjunct to its main development work, it will explore sharing metadata and paradata about Xerte resources with the Learning Registry.
Track OER: Tracking Open Educational Resources
Based at the Open University, and led by Patrick McAndrew, this project aims to "develop software that can help track open educational resources" as they are used away from their point of origin. JLeRN has already entered discussions with them to ensure mutual affordances are identified.
CAMILOE (Collation and Moderation of Intriguing Learning Objects in Education) (added to the list 3/04/12)
Based at Canterbury Christ Church University, and led by Mike Blamires, this project aims to reclaim and update 1800 quality-assured, evidence-informed reviews of education research, guidance and practice that were produced and updated between 2003 and 2010, and which are now archived and difficult to access. They are aiming to discuss the potential usefulness of JLeRN and the Learning Registry in achieving their aims.
In addition to these projects, the University of Liverpool will soon be working with the JLeRN team to set up their own node, as part of their JISC OER project CORE-SET. As well as assisting with meeting Liverpool's requirements, this will enable JLeRN to experiment with sharing data between nodes at different locations. Work with Jorum will continue, and discussions have begun with the resource discovery strand of JISC's Information Environment 09-11 activities, to widen the reach of the Learning Registry concept. Watch out for blog posts on all of these activities!

You are currently browsing the tag archive for the 'concatenation of calamity' tag.
"What began as a marketing tool has now become a lot more useful: playing with alternate realities can solve real problems." The writer is Anne Wollenberg, her article's in The Guardian, and she's talking about the genre started by the World Without Oil game. Read the article; it's really excellent and lays out pretty clearly the potential that these collaborative games have to save the world. (And let's shout out to WWO player RockLobster, quoted in the article! Woo!)
As a result of our current concatenation of calamities, future thinking and what-if scenarios have suddenly become the thing to do. Witness a CNN Special titled "We Were Warned: Out of Gas," sent my way by alert WWO fan Diane. The behind-the-scenes commentary, however, is more interesting and real to me than the Hollywood-style cinematic premise. The revolution will not be telescripted; it's already begun. Video scene from Kalwithoutoil.

'Blizzard baby' makes big entrance despite snow
Long Island's "blizzard baby" has arrived -- in dramatic fashion.
Hunkered down in her Selden home during the blizzard, Nichole Perretta, 28, woke suddenly with contractions at 5:45 a.m. Saturday.
"I had a feeling it was coming," said Perretta, a student-teacher at Stagecoach Elementary School.
The delivery had been scheduled for Tuesday, but Perretta roused her husband and told him about the change of plans. He'd need to rush her to the hospital right away.
Hurrying outside, Scott Perretta, 32, was stunned to find the driveway -- and the family car -- buried under more than 2 feet of snow.
When the snowblower failed, he turned to shoveling, but quickly realized the chore was taking too long.
"We need to get out of here," Nichole Perretta recalled telling her husband. "I was starting to panic."
The couple called 911. An ambulance and a fire department crew were dispatched, but both emergency vehicles wound up getting stuck in thick snow.
Brookhaven Town road crews were summoned to the area to clear several streets, allowing the ambulance to make it to the house.
The expectant mother headed to St. Charles Hospital in Port Jefferson, where her two other children were born. When the ambulance encountered another roadblock -- abandoned vehicles and drifts -- snowplows stepped in to "clear a path," Nichole Perretta said.
She made it to St. Charles in time, but the doctor was late because of his own snow-related traffic woes.
With the help of nurses, the delivery began. Just as the baby crowned, the doctor stepped in to finish the job.
The Perrettas' daughter, Harper, was born at 11:35 a.m., weighing 7 pounds, 4 ounces. Both mother and daughter were doing well Saturday night.
"It's nice to have another young one," the relieved father said. "It's still kind of new. It's hitting me all at once."

9/11 - 13 years on
This tribute is published on the 13th anniversary of the terrorist attacks on New York, Washington and Pennsylvania on 11 September 2001, under the auspices of Project 2996.
Jeffrey Dwayne Collman

Source: Aurora Beacon News, Aurora IL 9-23-2001
Jeffrey Dwayne Collman, age 41, of Novato, California, formerly of Yorkville, IL, a flight attendant for American Airlines, died in the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center in New York City at 8:45a.m. on Tuesday, September 11, 2001.
Jeffrey was a 1977 graduate of Yorkville High School in Yorkville, IL. Jeff was formerly employed, for over 10 years, at All-Steel in Montgomery, IL. He had then worked, for a brief time, at Cedar Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles, California before attaining his dream of being a flight attendant with American Airlines. Jeffrey loved his job and traveling to other countries around the world. He also loved to play and watch tennis. Jeff was a true people person who enjoyed visiting with and getting to know others. He became a flight attendant in 1997. Two years later, Jeff received the American Professional Flight Attendant Award and was considered a spirited and dedicated flight attendant. He liked to entertain children on his flights, and he was fond of playing tennis and traveling, friends said.
He is survived by his parents, Dwayne and Kay Collman of Yorkville, IL and Beverly Sutton of North Aurora, IL; his close companion, Keith Bradkowski of Novato, Ca; his brothers, Charles Collman of Fort Meyers, FL and Brian Collman of Las Vegas, NV; his sister, Brenda Sorenson of Aurora, IL; his step-brothers, Steve (Linda) Gengler of Yorkville, IL and Chuck (Lakshmi) Gengler of South Orange, NJ; his step-sister, Susan Bohan of California; a god-child, Marlene Wakelin; his half-sisters, Laura Kries of Brooklyn Park, MN, Caroline Sutton of Joliet, IL and Vickie Michel of Aurora, IL; several nieces and nephews, many loving aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. Jeffrey will also be missed by 100 other flight attendants.
He is preceded in death by his grandparents and his brother, Mark Allen Collman.
A memorial service was held on Monday, October 1, 2001 at the Immanuel Lutheran Church in Yorkville, IL with Pastor John Leaf officiating.
Father's thoughts
Dwayne Collman's imagination gets the best of him when he thinks about the final minutes of his son's life on American Airlines Flight 11. He's filled with horror thinking about what the 41-year-old flight attendant from Yorkville went through as terrorists with knives steered the plane into the first World Trade Center tower. Collman knows his son received safety training in flight school, but he doubts it ever could have prepared him for the challenges he would face on the morning of Sept. 11. The grieving father is sure of one thing about his son, though, even if the details about his death are not certain:
"He would have fought like hell."
Jeffrey Collman, an American Airlines flight attendant for five years who grew up in Yorkville, died Tuesday morning when his hijacked plane, destined for Los Angeles, crashed into New York's famous landmark at 8:45 a.m. Though his body has not been recovered, his parents knew he was gone when he didn't call within a few hours after the tragedy. He had sent his stepmother, Kay, an e-mail the night before, telling her he would be flying from Boston to Los Angeles the next morning.
"I knew he was in that accident because every time there was something going on with airplanes, he would call and say, 'Hey, I'm all right,' " said Kay Collman. "So I knew that, when he didn't call, he was on that plane."
His parents [...] say Jeffrey Collman wanted to be a flight attendant because he loved to travel and meet people around the world. After working for years at Allsteel in Montgomery, he moved to California about five years ago to pursue that dream. Lifelong friend Dolores Humphrey, who went to school with Jeffrey Collman at all grade levels in Yorkville, said she feared he was killed when she heard the news because he often flew early-week flights from Boston to Los Angeles.
She said Collman never lost contact with his friends, even though his job took him around the world.
"Every time he got into town, he would call anyone he knew to meet for breakfast," said Humphrey, who last talked to Collman [5 days before 9/11]. "He would talk for a couple hours, then have to go fly somewhere else."
His stepmother said Jeffrey was the type of person who could "sit down next to someone on a plane and walk away knowing their life story." His father said Jeffrey loved tennis and flew around the world to watch professionals play. Kay Collman says her stepson never went anywhere meekly, and he loved his job so much that she's sure he didn't back down in the face of terror. "He took it seriously," she said, "and he would not have let anyone walk on him."
Humphrey said Jeffrey talked of flying even when he was a child, and his dream came true when American Airlines gave him a job. He was never afraid to fly, she said, always asserting that he was safer in the air than anyone on the ground. Collman's parents have begun to realize how their son died, and that he will always be remembered as a victim on one of the saddest days ever in the United States.
"It's completely different than just someone dying," Kay Collman said. "We'll have the pictures forever. We'll always see where he died. It's part of history."
Seattle Times, 17 September 2001
His partner, Keith Bradkowski, said Collman was courageous and safety-conscious. "He was so focused on safety," Bradkowski said. "If there was a threat, he would have done anything in his power to prevent it." He didn't normally work the Boston-to-Los Angeles route but made an exception to get vacation time at the end of the month. Collman grew up in Yorkville, Ill., and besides Bradkowski left behind four brothers and a sister. (Seattle Times)

9/11 - 13 years on
When this post is published, it will be exactly thirteen years to the minute that the first aircraft hit the World Trade Center in New York. The events of what is now referred to as 9/11 are only too well known.
My thoughts are with all victims, whether identified afterwards, or not. In New York, Washington and Pennsylvania.
My thoughts are with the passengers and crew on the four flights destroyed. My thoughts are with the victims killed in the World Trade Center. My thoughts are with those emergency workers who lost their lives trying to save others'.
My thoughts today are with the families of those who perpetrated these atrocities, for they lost too. Even before the events of September 2001, they lost their loved ones to a delusion of hate that is not of the religion they claimed to be faithful to. Hatred leads to destruction - as shown seven years ago. Forgiveness is a pillar of Christian faith, as it is one of the Islamic faith. Whether those that lost a loved one in 9/11 can find it in themselves to forgive is beyond my scope.
But first and foremost, my thoughts are with Norberto Hernandez, whose tribute I first filed on Northern Trip, the predecessor to Atlantic Lines, in 2006. The searches for Norberto on Google are contaminated with references to the Falling Man, who was in fact another victim, Jonathan Briley. This confusion has led to much anger and anguish, something the families of both men could do well without.
Norberto, rest in peace.
This entry, as stated above is dedicated to the memory of
Norberto was a pastry chef from Elmhurst, working in the restaurant Windows on the World on the 106th and 107th floor of the North Tower of the World Trade Center in New York. After the attacks, he was reported missing for a week until parts of a torso and an arm were found in a collapsed stairwell. DNA testing and finger printing reveiled that these were the remains of Norberto. It also invalidated claims that the image of the Falling Man was that of Norberto; this was another victim of 9/11 who will be the subject of a different tribute.
At the time of the attacks on the WTC, Norberto was aged 42 and had been married for 25 years. He was the fourth of ten children by his parents' marriage, and also had six half-siblings through his father. His parents separated when he was young. Norberto himself had three daughters, three grandchildren and 37 nephews. He was a man of Puerto Rican origins, and had hoped to spend his final days there. Instead, after 9/11, a funeral service was held and his remains cremated in Puerto Rico.
His sister Luz described Norberto. "He was quiet, kind", she said. "He was a handsome man. Everybody loved him, you know. Everybody." Norberto's nickname was Bible, as he was very dependable. Together Forever was his motto.
Norberto started work in Windows on the World at the age of 17, washing dishes. He was interested in cooking, so a manager paid for his tuition at cooking school. Norberto became pastry chef and worked up to 10 hours a day. His sister Luz said that he made cakes, desserts, cookies and bread. His cakes were fabulous.
Outside work, Norberto loved sports, and was a fan of a Puerto Rican boxer, Felix Trinidad Jr. Four days before the attacks, he rang his mother and asked her to play "I would cry but I have no more tears" four times.
In the immediate aftermath of the plane striking the North Tower, Norberto called his sister Luz. "He said: 'Yeah, don't worry, I'm OK".They were disconnected, and when Luz tried to call back she could not get through. Other accounts from Windows on the World tell that smoke and dust filled the restaurant after the strike, and that people lay on the floor to escape the worst of it. Air was beginning to run out at the time of the last contact.
These are the facts that I have managed to pull together from the Internet.
From the little that I have learned of Norberto, he came through as a gentle giant. Although 6'2" (1.84m) tall, he was always listening, and talked later. His family suffered a double loss, as Claribel Hernandez (his sister-in-law), a secretary working elsewhere in the North Tower, was also killed in the attacks. Norberto was close in the family and responsible, which earned him the nickname Bible. He loved his work, and by the look of one of the images, loved to impart that knowledge to others around him.
September 11th, 2001, dawned as a brilliantly sunny morning in New York. Two planes were flown into the two towers of the World Trade Center, leading to their collapse within 2 hours. The destruction of so many lives was brought about by mindless hatred and madness, fuelled by religious zealotry which was not based on any writing in any scriptures in any religion.
Norberto may have heard of that on news reports, but it was probably quite far from him. He was a man that lived for his family, always there for them. A diligent worker, putting in up to 10 hours a day, loving his creations from the oven. Travelling to the WTC on the Subway every morning, his thoughts were probably far from what was to happen not that much later on that fateful Tuesday.
Two thousand nine hundred and ninety-six are known to have died that day, or in its immediate aftermath. Norberto's ashes were scattered in his homeland of Puerto Rico. His memory lives on in his family, and in the memory of those that read this. He is deeply missed by those close to him.
To Norberto Hernandez
Rest In Peace

I have attempted to contact the University of Columbia to use the material in this link, but have not received a reply. As it is central to the tribute, I have used it, and acknowledge the writer, Sarah Clemence.
This is a poem by Barbara Phillips, from which I have used some factual references to Norberto. It refers to him being the Falling Man though.
I have been granted permission by UIM to reproduce the commemorative quilt for Norberto.

Maggie Gyllenhaal has played all manner of characters in her time, from IRS-dodging baker to an S&M-loving secretary, and yet she keeps managing to stake out new ground.
While making the rounds in support of her upcoming film "Nanny McPhee Returns," Gyllenhaal has been talking up to new projects, one about bluegrass legend Bill Monroe, the other about another type of hero.
"Bill Monroe, who invented bluegrass music, had a kind of Sid and Nancy style affair with this woman, Bessie Lee Mauldin, throughout his life," Gyllenhaal told Screen Crave. "T-Bone Burnett's going to do the music and Callie Khouri who wrote 'Thelma & Louise' wrote the script so we're going to do that together."
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
The film is currently using the title "Blue Moon of Kentucky," based on Richard D. Smith's biography of Monroe called "Can't You Hear Me Calling."
And then there's Gyllenhaal's other project, "Hysteria."
"I play a firecracker whose father is a doctor who is in the business of curing hysterical women. He cures them basically by getting them off and that actually happened," said Gyllenhaal. "I end up having a sort of unexpected love affair with this guy who works for him, and who by mistake invents the vibrator."
Both films are tentatively scheduled for 2011.

In the highly competitive world of real estate, developers and realtors are coming up with innovative ways of attracting customers, especially from a distance.
"Fly and Buy" promotions come in different forms, but are all intended to give consumers a bit of extra incentive for making the trip down to Arizona or other destinations in search of a recreation or retirement property.
"Fly and Buy is a sales promotion in which we offer a free trip here to the Phoenix-Scottsdale area," explains Dean Selvey, owner of The Condo Pros which operates the website condosforcanadians.com. "Any prospective Canadian customers that want to fly down to the area, we'll pay for their airfare and host them in one of our community suites, and give them a tour of the property."
Selvey says if the customer agrees to purchase a property (either in the targeted neighbourhood or another affiliated community), the airfare is on the house. "If they don't choose to buy, all we ask is they pay for their own airfare," he says. "We see it really as a promotional tool to give exposure to our property to Canadian buyers."
Taylor Morrison, a home builder/developer also in Arizona, recently launched its own variation of the Fly and Buy promotion.
"For us, it's an incentive to residents ... if they come down and visit one of our communities, with or without realtor representation, they will receive an additional $2,000 incentive off the purchase price or closing costs," says Pierrette Tierney, vice-president of sales and marketing.
"The only stipulation is ... they would have to make the decision while here in the U. S."
Unlike the other model of Fly and Buy, however, the customer covers the costs of travel and accommodation whether they buy or not; the incentive acts as a discount on the trip.
How are these promotions faring?
"We've only been offering it for a short time, but so far it is good," says Selvey. "The response has been very positive and we've been promoting this throughout Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba."
Tierney says her company's Fly and Buy deal is currently only being offered by its Phoenix division, "but it's my guess some of our colleagues [in other states] will latch on to it, if the program is a success."
A key difference between the Condo Pros and Taylor Morrison deals is while that offered by Selvey's company needs to be arranged in advance, a prospective buyer can claim the deal after they've arrived.
When considering taking part in a Fly and Buy promotion, make sure you do your homework, advises Douglas Gray of homebuyer.ca, author of The Complete Guide to Buying and Owning Recreational Property in Canada. "It's buyer beware, very much so because given the meltdown in the United States and the mortgage and property-value meltdown in resort areas ... obviously there is a desperate need for someone with a project to move their product," he says.
"If you have Nervous Nelly Americans because they're concerned the market could correct itself and hasn't reached the bottom yet ... obviously there is a large incentive for salespeople to look at their friendly cousins up North. And everyone loves a freebie."
Gray says consumers need to read the fine print and be certain about what costs they are responsible for on a Fly and Buy - whether they purchase or not.

Master Has Returned to the Manor
Yi Lin covered her mouth out of fear: "Eldest young miss, calm down a little! You absolutely must not say such things! Now that madam is no longer alive if something were to happen to the Chen family, who is there left for eldest young miss to hope to rely on?"
"What hopes do I have left?" Feng Chen Yu pointed to her own forehead, "I now have this sort of damned appearance. No matter how much money the Chen family has, can it be traded for a piece of flesh?"
"Young miss must not place the fault with the Chen family. No matter how well that beast was tamed, it is still just a beast. If third master knew that you were in the carriage, he definitely would not have let it out!"
"Right!" Feng Chen Yu fiercely gritted her teeth, as she was practically able to shoot fire from her eyes, "It's all because of Feng Yu Heng! She was always an enemy, and she should never have been kept at home!"
"Young miss, we need to come up with a plan." Yi Lin consoled her while beginning to think: "Second young miss came to power relying on his Highness the ninth prince, but she lost power because of the Yao family and because…" Yi Lin's eyes lit up, "Does young miss remember why master chose to raise our madam to the head wife position over all the other concubines in the manor?"
Feng Chen Yu frowned, "What are you doing mentioning something from so long ago? The Chen family and the Feng family are from the same hometown. When father was preparing for the imperial exam, grandmother was being pushed out in the old home and was taken care of by mother. Based on these deeds, the position of head wife was given to mother."
"Oh my dear young miss!" Yi Lin was in a rush and sat next to her, earnestly saying: "What sort of time is it now? Don't keep thinking on such a shallow level and think more carefully!"
"More carefully… You're saying that father did it for the Chen family's money?"
Yi Lin nodded, "But this is just one aspect. There is another reason. At that time, Taoist Zi Yang had resolutely said that you have the aspect of the phoenix and pointed to second young miss and said that she is the star of disaster. Only this was what caused master to chase them from the manor. If it were not for Taoist Zi Yang, how could master do such a cruel thing."
Chen Yu understood, "You mean to say that the thing my father holds most dear is the aspect of the phoenix?"
"Yes." Yi Lin saw that she finally understood and was finally able to let out a sigh of relief. The eldest young miss was born beautiful, but she was a little mentally slow. "That is to say, young miss, you do not need to rely on just your appearance. You still have the aspect of the phoenix!"
"Aspect of the pheonix?" Feng Chen Yu practically wanted to laugh, "Yi Lin, you have been with me so many years, and you have also taken care of mother. The matters related to the Chen family have been taken care of by you and Yi Yue. The situation behind the aspect of the phoenix is something you should understand better than anyone else."
What aspect of the phoenix? That was nothing more than a lie created by the Chen family, so Chen shi could be promoted to the position of head wife and ensure that her beautiful appearance was not wasted.
"But master and elder madam still believe it after so many years!"
"Father believes it." Chen Yu corrected her, "Although grandmother does believe it, she has always been lukewarm towards me. Once she runs into trouble, she turns around. Just looking at her attitude after Feng Yu Heng returned to the capital should make it clear."
"The one who makes the final decision in the manor is still master." Yi Lin consoled her, "To say something very disrespectful, how many more years will elder madam live for? Also, young miss should think about it, the matter of you having the aspect of the phoenix is something that is not just known within the Feng family and Chen family. Over the past few years, it has been spread throughout the capital. Regardless of why the eldest prince treats you well, he can currently be considered a mountain that you can lean on, and he is one that we can not let go of so easily. Also…" She thought a little more and was at a bit of a loss.
"If you have something to say, say it."
"Yes, this servant was thinking about how the eldest suddenly began to treat you well, and there must be something subtle hidden there. I fear that it will require some more thought. That's why young miss should make some more preparations. Not only must you secure the eldest prince's side, you must also…"
"You are talking about the other princes?" Feng Chen Yu practically laughed out loud, "Each and every one of the Emperor's children is odd. Everyone says that a gentle and fair woman has an easier time finding a man of noble character, but I have gone into the palace a few times and never seen any prince treat me particularly well." She recalled the seventh prince, Xuan Tian Hua. That deity-like person had always managed to strike at her rawest nerve. "Father intends to engage me to his Highness the third prince, but take a look, Princess Xiang's illness was actually cured by Feng Yu Heng. With the official princess still there, how should I get married? Do I get married and become the secondary princess? Is it possible for the Empress to originally have been the secondary princess? Moreover, I am currently the daughter of a concubine. Have you ever seen an empress who was born of a concubine?"
Yi Lin was rendered completely speechless. She originally wanted to tell Chen Yu not to hang herself from a tree, but she did not expect to hear so many complaints.
"In essence, everything can be blamed on that slut, Feng Yu Heng!" Chen Yu angrily said: "Only by taking care of her can I live in peace. You're right. The Chen family cannot fall. The matter with the aspect of the phoenix can be thought about later. Right now, the important thing is to get that hawk out." She ordered Yi Lin, "Go tell uncle about everything that happened today. Tell him that he must steal back that hawk!"
Yi Lin nodded repeatedly, advising Chen Yu to sleep. She then went to pass along this message to the Chen family.
After that night, it was the day Feng Jin Yuan would return to the manor.
Feng Chen Yu's head was injured, so the matriarch sent someone early in the morning to tell her that she need not attend the reception; however, she did not listen. She endured the pain and dressed cleanly. Her face also had makeup beautifully applied. If one did not look at the forehead, where there was a large white gauze, this was a face that even other women had to admit was beautiful.
Yi Lin had originally wanted to wrap her head in a headscarf. Although it would have looked a little weird, it could do a very good job of covering the gauze. The headscarf color also complimented the color of her clothes. In addition to Chen Yu's beauty, it would look quite chic.
Yi Lin was very satisfied with her arrangements, and she even thought that Chen Yu would say a few words of praise, but she did not think that Chen Yu would look in the mirror and angrily scold her "Take it off! Take off this damnable thing!"
She was given a fright and did not understand why she had been cursed, but when she saw Chen Yu's anger, she did not dare ask. She could only go and remove the headscarf.
She did not know that this headscarf only reminded Chen Yu of Qing Le's ghastly appearance at that time. Qing Le had lost her hair in a fire and was left with a head full of scabs, and she had used this sort of scarf to cover her head. She clearly remembered that was something that caused everyone to laugh at Qing Le, and she definitely did not want to become the one everyone laughed at!
"I will go out like this." Chen Yu stood up and began walking out, "If father still pities me, he will definitely punish that slut, Feng Yu Heng!"
Finally, everyone stood in front of the manor's entrance.
Feng Yu Heng held Zi Rui's hand while standing with An shi and Xiang Rong. Fen Dai accompanied Han shi, while Chen Yu stood next to the matriarch. Jin Zhen was left alone with Man Xi, giving her a lonely feeling.
Among Feng Jin Yuan's current concubines, the one the matriarch pitied most was still Jin Zhen. Jin Zhen was the most obedient, and there was no bad experience with her. The fact that she was originally one of the Feng manor's servants made her even more welcome. On a normal day, she would visit and inquire about her well-being or massage her legs. Starting from when Feng Jin Yuan left the manor to when Han shi became pregnant, Jin Zhen had suffered a great number of grievances.
The matriarch waved to Jin Zhen, "Come here and stand next to me. In a while, how about sitting in the same carriage as me!"
With Feng Jin Yuan returning to the capital, the members of the Feng family had prepared to wait for him at the entrance of the capital. Now, the carriages were already outside the entrance.
Seeing that the matriarch had called her, Jin Zhen felt a surge of happiness and quickly went over. Taking over for granny Zhao, she helped the matriarch along. With granny Zhao backing up, this pushed Chen Yu even further away.
Flames erupted from Chen Yu's eyes, but she still gritted her teeth and endured.
"Let's go!" The matriarch raised her voice and said: "Everyone should cheer up a little. Jin Yuan had gone to relieve the disaster in the North. Now that the disaster has been resolved, him returning to the capital is something to be celebrated. Who knows how many citizens will be kneeling at the city's gates waiting to welcome him. Our Feng family absolutely must set an example." After she finished speaking, she led the way with Jin Zhen's support and exited the manor.
Feng Yu Heng nearly laughed out loud, citizens kneeling to welcome him? Do you think that he's a general returning from a successful campaign? She could not help but remember when she had first returned to the capital and run into Xuan Tian Ming also returning. That was truly an event with tens of thousands of people rejoicing.
She curled the corners of her lips up into a spontaneous smile.
When everyone followed the matriarch out of the manor's gates and prepared to get into their carriages, a servant who had been sent out early to obtain information had returned on horseback. Seeing the masters of the manor were about to get into their carriages, he repeatedly shouted in a loud voice: "Hold on!"
The matriarch stopped and looked at the servant run over. Only then did she ask: "Did something happen?"
The servant saluted then said: "Elder madam, there is no need to go welcome master. Master entered the capital early and has already been called into the palace by the Emperor."
"To the palace?" The matriarch was stunned, "Did you hear what he was called into the palace for?"
The servant smiled and said: "Elder madam, master went to the North on official business. Now that he has returned to the capital, he naturally needs to visit the palace first."
The matriarch nodded. That was also true. Feng Jin Yuan had gone to relieve the disaster. How could he return home first before reporting to the Emperor? Thus she turned and returned to the manor. At the same time, she raised her voice and said: "Then we will just wait inside the manor."
The matriarch did not return to Shu Ya courtyard, instead, she led everyone to wait in Peony courtyard. At the same time, Feng Jin Yuan, who had gone into the palace, was kneeling in the imperial court and listening to the Emperor affirming his achievements from this expedition to the North.
What Feng Jin Yuan did not expect was that he received a number of rewards along with the Emperor's affirmation. When he left the court, he was invited by a servant to have an audience with the Empress!
He did not understand what this was for, but he knelt in reverence and heard the Empress say: "Previously, this one misunderstood the Feng family's eldest daughter. In the past little while, I heard Qi'er mention the virtue and ability of the Feng family's eldest young miss. Only then did I know that I had misunderstood her previously. Qi'er is a most obedient child. This one may not listen to what others may say, but this one will definitely take what Qi'er says to heart. That's why this one has already relieved the Feng family's eldest daughter of her punishment and removed the restriction that she may not enter the palace for five years. The imperial decree has already been sent to the Feng manor. I will just wait for the next court session to apologize directly to prime minister Feng."
Feng Jin Yuan quickly kowtowed to the Empress and said: "Your Highness, I am absolutely unworthy of receiving something like an apology! This official's daughter receiving your Highness' concern is her good fortune. This official will thank your Highness on behalf of my daughter for your grace."
"Un." The Empress nodded then said to the maidservant at her side: "Go give the gift I prepared to Lord Feng then send Lord Feng off."
"This official thanks your Highness for the reward. This official will be excused."
Feng Jin Yuan kowtowed then left. Along the way, he pondered over what the Empress had said.
Speaking about Qi'er, she definitely was speaking about the eldest prince. He had found out about the changes at home from the letters sent by the matriarch. Chen Yu and Fen Dai had received the attention of the eldest prince and the fifth prince, respectively. These were things that he had not anticipated. Especially Chen Yu, whom he had told many times not to make any arrangements with men, so how did she end up being targeted by the eldest prince? In addition, he received secret reports about the wild shifts in court. The ninth prince had lost the Emperor's favor, and the Emperor suddenly began favoring the eldest prince. These things truly caused him to become a little dazed.
Finally arriving at the entrance of his manor, Feng Jin Yuan took a deep breath, as he heard He Zhong, who had seen him, shouted into the manor "Master has returned to the manor!"

You might have to squint at Effie Trinket in "The Hunger Games" to spot Elizabeth Banks under the layers of confection-colored costuming, but she's in there.
An unabashed fan of the Suzanne Collins' novels from which the film is derived, Banks tells PopcornBiz she was more than willing to endure a little claustrophobia to bring the relentlessly upbeat but empty-hearted Effie to life on the big screen, and she reveals just where she drew the line when it came to compromising her own dignity for fame.
Can you still see yourself underneath Effie?
A little. I see little things every once in a while, but I'm pretty proud how far away from myself I went.
Was it claustrophobic to have all of that layered over you?
Oh, my God, I got out of that thing as fast as possible! At all moments that I could be out of it, I was out of it. I got heat exhaustion my third day of filming, which I'd never had before and I don't recommend it to anyone. It wasn't claustrophobic. It was very uncomfortable and purposefully so. I wanted her clothes to be oppressive. I mean, she's horrible. She's not a good person. She's very vain and selfish and I really wanted the costume to work on me as an actress and it did. It was a great part of the job that I was doing, being restricted and oppressed and hot and uncomfortable and just being constantly reminded that that's what I live under.
How did you go about transforming yourself into someone so eccentric?
Well, Suzanne [Collins] wrote her with pink hair and crazy outfits. So, we looked at that. That was our first inspiration. Gary [Ross] said, 'I just imagine her face like Joel Grey in "Caberet."' So, that was one thing. We also wanted her to be ageless. I have this sense that in the Capital they use this use this crazy, weird plastic surgery and f***ed-up s**t. So I wanted it to be like, 'Is she 20 or a 110?' Once we had the look established, it was about two and a half hours of makeup every day, which is not that bad, I guess.
Is the look you guys came up with anywhere near the look you pictured when you were reading the book?
In all honesty, I didn't picture so much the way that Effie looked as the way that she carried herself. The attitude is what I feel I nailed. The way that I imagined her attitude is what I wanted to get out in the movie and I feel like I did that.
Do you relish having an opportunity to have a costume and makeup and voice like that because you don't get to do that all that often?
Yeah, of course. It's so much fun to watch yourself disappear everyday and have Effie appear. I really was not Effie unless it was on. I would have that aha moment where she came together for me everyday. Sometimes it was the lip. Sometimes it was the hat. Sometimes it wasn't until I was walking, like, 'Oh, here's Effie.' She lived somewhere in there and I had to sort of find her every day.
What was everyone's entry point into 'The Hunger Games'? Were you a fan of the book or did you learn about it when you got the script?
I'm a total nerd. I had read all three books long before the movie. I was just a huge fan of the writing. I read the first book really early on, before it was a bestseller. I don't own it because I gave it to my sister and I gave another one to my mother. My whole family had read it, and then I actually had to be on the waiting list for 'Mockingjay' on Amazon for two months.
How did you come across it to begin with? Is it a genre that you're really interested in?
Yeah. I read a similarly themed book called 'The Maze Runner,' which is a great book, and a friend said, 'If you liked that book, you'll really like this one.' I have a production company and we're always looking at material to buy, and we went very far down the road with 'Maze Runner,' which is actually being made. They're working on a script right now for Catherine Hardwicke to direct. We ultimately ended up not partnering with this other company to do it. So 'Maze Runner' was a great book and someone said, 'If you like that you should read "Hunger Games,"' and of course by the time that I read it Nina Jacobson had it already.
Since you were fan of the books what was it like when you got the role of Effie?
I mean, I did a little dance. I was in Gary Ross' office. He brought me in to show me all the references and he was sort of torturing me because he didn't say that I was doing it until like an hour of us hanging out in his office. He was like, 'Why did you think I brought you down here? I wasn't wasting your time.' So I did a little dance. I was really excited. I loved her. I had a lot of ideas about her, and Gary and I had a really great dialogue about it. It was really fun.
Was there something that you read in the novel or the screenplay that you went, 'Now I get who this person is'?
For me, I can't remember the exact quote, but Effie says something to Katniss, she slaps her hand and goes, 'You're driving me crazy!' or something. I can't stand teenage girls, like I want to beat them. I want to beat them all. I can't believe that I ever was one. They're horrible. They're so self-involved and they all hate their mothers. I was there. I was the exact same. There's no judgment. It's just a horrible time in someone's life and they don't know it's horrible. They think it's great, but they're all being such little…anyways. So, I just had that feeling of like, 'Wow. I'm there now. That's how I feel about teenage girls,' and if I was Effie and this Katniss girl showed up and she was giving me grief I'd be really pissed.
Was there a moment in your career where you realized dignity is more important than fame?
I remember being offered a movie and it was like, 'Listen, you'll be naked in this bathtub and they'll slash your throat. It's going to be awesome.' I was like, 'Goodbye.' That was like audition number four or something, like, 'Yeah. I'm good. No, let's not do that.' 'But Mario Van Peebles is going to be in it.' 'Okay. Thanks though.' I love Mario, great guy. It's just that one was not for me.
"Hunger Games" Star Elizabeth Banks Got Under Her Character's Skin

New "Final Destination 4" pics surfaced today. Does this signal the beginning of the hype-train for this one? Don't forget it's in glorious 3D, which means lots of heads and guts flying at your face. Ahhh, good times.
New "Whiteout" still, from the thriller starring Kate Beckinsale. Basically she's an FBI agent hunting a serial killer in Antarctica, right before the sun is about to set for 6 months. So yes, probably the least original story in the world at this point. And with the cold weather, I'm guessing we won't be seeing any leather body suits, either.
Todd Lincoln to adapt the comic "The Nye Incidents" for Dark Castle. Lincoln is currently working on Universal's adaptation of "Hack/Slash". So what's "The Nye Incidents" about? A children's television scientist who goes apeshit and kills all the world's children? I kid, I kid. It's actually about a "medical examiner on the hunt of a killer of alien abductees". Sounds pretty great, actually, although I still want to see my interpretation make it to the big screen.
Brad Dourif will be returning as the voice of "Chucky" in the upcoming remake of "Child's Play". Other than that news, all is quiet on the that front, so we'll give you more when we hear it.
"All The Boys Love Mandy Lane" will be hitting theaters July 17th? That's what Entertainment Weekly is telling us. I'm not seeing if it will be a wide release or not, but is that possible? Guess we'll find out.

Investigators said the robber made off with an undisclosed amount of money after tying the driver to the steering wheel with electrical tape.

Quatto is charged with armed robbery and kidnapping. He is in Volusia County Jail on $100,000 bond.

We tend to be a bit hard on Sam Worthington as we remain unconvinced that he can really bring the goods. He's starred in three films thus far, two of which ("Terminator: Salvation," "Clash of the Titans") were pretty bad and the other ("Avatar") was a special effects showcase. But today we celebrate Worthington's candor in assessing "Clash."
"I think the first one, we kind of let down some people. And yeah, I totally agree," Worthington told Moviefone." The only point of doing a sequel is either the audience demands it or you believe you can better the first one."
This marks the second time this season that an A-list star has acknowledged that a previous film was less than awesome. In November, it was Mark Wahlberg who confessed that "The Happening" was a mess.
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
And Worthington is to be further lauded for even taking some of the blame.
"What we're setting out to do with this one -- the writers and the director and myself -- is improve. I think I can act f***ing better, to be honest ... Just take all the notes from people that I have been reading about on the 'net and give them a movie they f***ing want. This one I want to kind of try to satisfy a lot more people."
Hats off, Mr. Worthington. Your bracing honesty has us on board for "Clash 2," despite how much we hated the origial, and boy did we hate the original.
Worthington can next be seen Dec. 29 in "The Debt," about a team of Israeli soldiers who must right a decades-old wrong, and "Last Night," about a couple that spends the night apart only to find themselves tempted to stray.

Bragg tells about the South with such power and bone-naked love…he will make you cry." —Atlanta Journal-Constitution "Part memoir, part confession, [this book] has everything to do with the South and nothing at all…. Like all good writing, it transcends the particulars of time and place." —Raleigh News & Observer "A record of a life that has been harrowing, cruel and yet triumphant, written so beautifully he makes the book a marvel." —Los Angeles Times "A deeply affecting book…. Bragg captures the rhythms of small-town life with grace and pathos." —Chicago Tribune

Think about your high school. No matter what city or town it was in, it likely grouped students by age. And offered an eerily similar menu of subjects — biology, math, history, Spanish — which met for 45 minutes or an hour. But why? Sal Khan has been asking some tough questions about education, and he's bent on re-inventing our system, one student at a time. Read more...

Jack Kerouac. Allen Ginsberg. William S. Burroughs. LeRoi Jones. Theirs are the names primarily associated with the Beat Generation. But what about Joyce Johnson (nee Glassman), Edie Parker, Elise Cowen, Diane Di Prima, and dozens of others? These female friends and lovers of the famous iconoclasts are now beginning to be recognized for their own roles in forging the Beat movement and for their daring attempts to live as freely as did the men in their circle a decade before Women's Liberation.
Twenty-one-year-old Joyce Johnson, an aspiring novelist and a secretary at a New York literary agency, fell in love with Jack Kerouac on a blind date arranged by Allen Ginsberg nine months before the publication of On the Road made Kerouac an instant celebrity. While Kerouac traveled to Tangiers, San Francisco, and Mexico City, Johnson roamed the streets of the East Village, where she found herself in the midst of the cultural revolution the Beats had created. Minor Characters portrays the turbulent years of her relationship with Kerouac with extraordinary wit and love and a cool, critical eye, introducing the reader to a lesser known but purely original American voice: her own.

The UMBC men's lacrosse team is one of five America East Conference squads battling for a playoff berth as the regular season comes to a conclusion on Saturday, April 27. Tenth-ranked Albany (10-3, 4-0) has sewn up the top seed, but everything else is up for grabs as the Retrievers (5-7, 2-2) host Binghamton (5-8, 1-3) at 3:40 p.m. UMBC's 14 seniors will be honored in pregame ceremonies and coverage is available on Q1370 and via www.umbcretrievers.tv.
With a win, the Retrievers would clinch a spot in the four-team playoff for the tenth time in ten league seasons. UMBC could be seeded No. 2, 3 or 4. The combination of a Retriever loss and Stony Brook victory vs. Albany would eliminate UMBC from the postseason. Hartford plays at Vermont in the other league contest.
The Retrievers will honor their 14 seniors in ceremonies prior to today's contest. They are Dave Brown, Adam Cohen, Nick Doub, Matt Gregoire, Scott Hopmann, Joe Impallaria, Scott Jones, Neill Lewnes, Joe Lustgarten, Sam McKelvey, Ethan Murphy, Tony Spada, Lucas Wood, and Jake Zimmerman.
Gregoire scored a career-best five points, but the Retrievers fell, 16-10, to tenth-ranked Albany at John Fallon Field on April 19. Gregoire tallied four goals and added an assist, recording the third four-goal game of his career and giving him 10 goals in three games vs. Albany. He also leads UMBC and is tied for fourth in the conference with 15 points in four league contests.
Jones leads the club in scoring with 27 goals and 32 total points. Jones became the 30th Retriever to hit the 100-point plateau and now has 108 points (88-20-108) total points for his career.
UMBC is 4-1 at home this year and 21-4 at home in 10 years of America East Conference competition.
Binghamton (5-8, 1-3 AE) came up just short on April 20, dropping an 8-7 America East conference game to visiting Vermont (4-9, 1-3 AE) at the Bearcats Sports Complex. The Catamounts used a 4-2 first quarter and never trailed as they secured their first conference win of the season. Bearcat junior Brandon Planck netted three goals for the Bearcats who fell to 1-3 in conference play. Planck netted his fifth career hat trick in the loss. JR M Michael Antinozzi scored two goals and added an assist, increasing his career point tally to 89. JR A Matt Springer he tied the single season goals record of 32 set just last season by teammate Michael Antinozzi.
Binghamton has had six games decided by two goals or less and are 3-3 in those six contests. They are 2-4 on the road this season. The Bearcats can earn a spot in the playoffs with a win today and a Hartford win over Vermont.

Everyone loves the pop sound of a cork leaving the champagne bottle. You must be celebrating something when the bubbly is poured out and shared. At TheLiquoreStore.com, our inventory will allow you to enjoy new takes on this drink or revisit old favorites.
Getting the Party Started
Try out a common and favorite champagne for your next special occasion. We offer many brands that are well known in the industry because of their fine tastes. They're both defined as "brut" champagnes, which simply explains their lack of sugar. One taste, and we're sure you'll be sold on the quality grapes and fermentation bottled at the source.
Trying Out the Vintage
Champagne is made from select grapes that may cross several harvest seasons. However, a bottle marked "vintage" will only have grapes fermented from that particular year. Add a brut vintage 2004 to your online cart, and this bottle will erupt with the best grapes from 2004 when the harvest was at its peak.
Adding the Accessories
You can't drink the best champagne without flutes. Consider a combination purchase of your favorite brut and plastic flutes. You want to taste every layer of this bubbly drink as it tickles your palate.
Handle your champagne with care because the cork is under enormous pressure. Ideally, place a dish towel over the cork as you pry it from the bottle. You'll keep the cork under control as you release the bubbles. It's time to celebrate with your favorite name brand of champagne found at TheLiquorStore.com.

WASHINGTON, June 14 (UPI) -- Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei matters more in terms of foreign policy than the next Iranian president, a U.S. expert on Iran said Friday.
Iran's state-funded broadcaster Press TV reported voting hours were extended into Friday evening because of high turnout for presidential elections.
Voters are choosing from former Tehran Mayor Mohammed Qalibaf, former Foreign Minister Ali Akhbar Velayati, chief nuclear negotiator Saeed Jalili, former nuclear negotiator Hassan Rohani, former Oil Minister Mohammad Qarazai and former military commander Mohsen Rezaei
Rohani is the only reformist candidate left in the race. The rest are considered close allies of Khamenei.
Presidential candidates were cleared by the 12-member Guardian Council, a clerical body appointed by Khamenei.
Geneive Abdo, an Iranian expert at U.S. think tank The Brookings Institution, said in an article published Friday by Brookings the ruling cleric has "no tolerance" for showmanship on the international stage.
Candidates last week debated foreign policy issues, holding to commitments to nuclear research despite international concerns. U.S. State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki told reporters Thursday, before Iranians started to vote, there were concerns about the fairness of the elections given the clerical influence.
Abdo said Khamenei worked to diminish presidential powers during President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's tenure.
"Based on the selection of this year's presidential contenders by the Guardian Council, he is determined that the next president will execute his orders on all matters," she said.

FBI Searches Apartment For Evidence Linking Tenn. Lawmaker's Son To E-Mail Breach
WASHINGTON, Sept. 22, 2008
(AP) The FBI searched the residence of the son of a Democratic state lawmaker in Tennessee over the weekend looking for evidence linking the young man to the hacking of Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin's personal e-mail account, two law enforcement officials told The Associated Press on Monday.
David Kernell, 20, has not returned repeated phone calls or e-mails from the AP since last week. He is the son of state Rep. Mike Kernell, a Memphis Democrat and chairman of Tennessee's House Government Operations Committee. The father declined last week to discuss the possibility his son might be involved in the case.
"I had nothing to do with it, I had no knowledge or anything," Mike Kernell told the AP.
"I was not a party to anything of this nature at all," he added. "I wasn't in on this and I wouldn't know how to do anything like that."
After the break-in, a person claiming responsibility published a detailed chronology of the hacking on the Web site where the break-in was first revealed. That person identified his e-mail address as one that has been linked publicly to David Kernell.
"If Mike had known anything about this, he would have had a fit on his son," Deberry said. "When I saw his reaction when he first heard about it, the absolute fear and shock that was on his face, I realized then he had absolutely nothing to do with it."
Experts said the hacker apparently left an easy trail for investigators.
"He might as well have taken a picture of his house and uploaded it," said Ken Pfeil, an Internet security expert. "He should have just set up a big beacon that said, 'Here's my house,' or confessed. If they can't catch this guy based on all the information posted on the Web then all bets are off."

Oh the kid is going to probably do a few weeks of community service, issue an apology and get on with his life. He was throwing a party when the cops showed up, his lawyers obviously have been telling him hes going to be alright.
SonnabendGuest09-24-2008, 06:08 PMOh the kid is going to probably do a few weeks of community service, issue an apology and get on with his life.
Punitive damages.
Hacking is a FEDERAL OFFENCE. You dont get community service.
He was throwing a party when the cops showed up, his lawyers obviously have been telling him hes going to be alright.
When the FBI kick your door down....you are in deep shit. You don't get it, do you? He hacked the email account of a State Governor to adversely affect the outcome of a Federal election.
"Community service?"
He will do at least five years.
EyelidsGuest09-24-2008, 07:03 PMRasch says if the hacker were charged with a misdemeanor, he would likely face a sentence of zero to six months, depending on his history, attitude and contrition. If the hacker were to come forward and apologize to Palin and tell the FBI exactly what he did, prosecutors might take this into consideration.
"If the government treats this for what it really is, which was a kid who was curious to see if he could do this . . . then the kid should be in reasonably good shape" and face "little, if any, jail time," Rasch said.

Maple Coconut Chips
Canada's maple trees are almost as famous as Port Douglas' coconut trees. Maybe just. Maple Coconut Chips are a sweet, subtle a bestseller, and often compared in taste to Anzac biscuits. Maple is a perfect naturally-sweet treat for those with refined good tastes.
A recurring behaviour about the Maple is from people who self-proclaim not to like coconuts: they try a sample of the Maple and buy a bag (or two) and are pleased they found a way to enjoy coconut.
Coconut Chips - Award-Winning, Gourmet, Delicious.
Made with organically grown coconuts in Queensland, Australia, our coconuts are handpicked and sustainably harvested directly from pristine tropical beaches.
Our chips are healthy and delicious. You can eat them by the handful, or pack them in kids' lunchboxes for the ideal snack. Our flavours range from savoury to sweet, and each chip is crunchy and full of the beneficial coconut oil.
No preservatives, no chemicals, no nasties. Just coconut. Delicious!
Did you know coconut chips made overseas are the byproduct of coconut oil? The "other chips" are first pressed to extract the oil, and then sold cheaply as chips and flakes. NOT US! Our coconut chips are NEVER pressed, so they are full of the healthy, melt-in-your-mouth deliciousness coconut oil.
Coconut oil supports your immune system; reduces heart disease; lowers cholesterol; and more. We all need more coconut oil!
Our chips are dehydrated for a looooong time, giving them a unique CRUNCH.
Our chips are perfect for Paleo, Vegan, Keto, Diabetic, Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, Grain-Free, Soy-Free, and Low-Carb lifestyles.
Available in 2 sizes.
As part of our Premium Range, the Snack Size (50 grams) is $7.50/bag, and Family Size (90 grams) is $12/bag.
Vacuum sealed and ready to eat, the only problem with our chips is that, once opened, they disappear before you know it....
Can't decide which flavour to try? Get one of each! We have a Sample Pack in our Snack Size & Family Size - one of each of our 9 flavours.
Want our chips delivered every month? We have a range of packs available for monthly subscriptions - simply tell us which flavour/s you'd like and we'll take care of the rest.

Novell ZENworks
You probably know ZENworks intimately - but for those that don't - take a glance at the ZENworks product pages
The 30 second pitch: ZENworks is the name for Novell's systems management, configuration management and end-point security management product. The ZENworks family of products is broad - from Windows to Linux, desktop to tablet to server to handheld, from patch to inventory and asset management. ZENworks is designed to make the systems administators life easy.
Open source content instead of code!
We all know the traditional ZENworks CoolSolutions articles, they are a great source for tips and tricks. The Wiki pages make it possible to be much more flexible and have people share information and work together to get some great content.
One of the main benefits is that people can add additional information into a page, as for example if someone wrote an article about how to work with add-on images but you've got some additional tricks that might be useful, just add this information to the article so that others can use it as well.
If you've used a wiki before, you'll have no trouble getting used to this format. If not, you should take a minute to learn more about it.
Everything ZENworks
Best Practices
Like the name already indicates this should cover the best info gathered from experience. With this in mind it's clear that a best practice guide should be a dynamic document where the latest experiences from the field are gathered so that others can use this. A published document is outdated after the next implementation of the product, so we need to be able to gather the new information that is found during the implementations in the field. Add your best practice information and have others have a great experience as well while using ZENworks.
