Instructional Technology (Digital Learning & Teaching)
Welcome to the Web site for the Instructional Technology program at NC State. We are currently undergoing a revisioning process and expect to make the following changes during the 2014-15 academic year: a new program title (Digital Learning and Teaching); two new program area faculty and partnerships with other interdisciplinary faculty associated with the digital transformation of education cluster; three program strands that stand alone as certificates or can be mixed to earn a full degree (digital leadership, digital design, or digital inquiry); new capstone experiences by strand through which students apply their course knowledge to a project in an authentic setting; and new strategic program partners that offer students access to sites, data, and targeted opportunities for capstone projects and internships.
The Instructional Technology faculty offer online M.Ed. and M.S. degrees in Instructional Technology (with 079 and 077 licensure options), and participate in the College of Education's PhD programs, mentoring students interested in research around digital learning innovations. Our degrees are designed for teachers or other education professionals who are interested in integrating technology into teaching and learning, and designing, developing, and researching technology-enhanced learning environments. Additional information about our degree programs can be found by clicking the links at left or the Masters/Doctoral icons below. Faculty affiliated with the I.T. program at N.C.

Great flavor and will absolutely make again. Good every day meal. Omitted red cabbage because I don't like it. Doubled red and green bell pepper. Served over brown rice.

Unfortunately, I was very disappointed in this dish. Although it was easy and quick to make, it was very bland and I would not spend time making it again. Also, the turmeric has stained my counter top and utensils, and I will need to do some heavy duty cleaning to get it all back to normal.
Bclark Posted: 02/03/10
Nice dish with a subtle blend of flavor. Pleasant surprise!
Kathy30340 Posted: 03/11/14
The first time I made this recipe, I seasoned it exactly as the recipe called for, and I found it bland. Also, since my son prefers kale over spinach, I substituted. We thought it worth another try. The second time, I used a whole red bell pepper, half a red onion, and several cloves of garlic. I substituted two teaspoons of refrigerated ginger for ginger root, and I added about 3/4 tsp. ground black pepper. Since just a few days had passed, I used the rest of the large bag of kale, and found the flavor to be robust and the variation in the texture of the ingredients to make it a nice change from my routine one-dish meals. The garlic, turmeric, and ginger are all seasonings that alleviate inflammation in the body and the variety of vegetables make a side dish almost optional. The first time I served a rice blend on the side, and the second time I served it up with quinoa.

Earlier this week, I had the opportunity to provide some Twitter back channel commentary during John Battelle's interview about the future of marketing.
Most street fairs and markets have a very low barrier to entry: You'll need transit, a table, a tent (for outdoor markets), a cash box and the ability to contribute a small booth rental fee to the market's organizer (usually $25 to $50 for small communities and $75-$125 for urban fairs).

PLAYERS: Clay Buchholz, Pedro Martinez, Tim Wakefield
TEAMS: Boston Red Sox
TEAMS: Boston Red Sox
Clay Buchholz has had the best 6 game start of any Red Sox pitcher since 1991 and Rodger Clemens start that year. If you think about Buchholz starting the year 6-0 in 6 starts, it is quite an accomplishment. Pedro Martinez never did this, nor did Curt Shilling, Derek Lowe, or Tim Wakefield. Buchholz was named the American Leagues pitcher of the month and will be given a trophy, a trophy he has won once before. Last time he won the trophy was in August of 2010, when his name was misspelled on the award (Buccholz). Buchholz fully deserves this award in the month of April he finished tied for first in wins, was second in ERA, was fifth in opponent batting average (.192), was tied for seventh in strikeouts and was tied for eighth in innings pitched. Clay has had an amazing month, hopefully he will be able to to continue this success for the rest of the season, if he does we may be removing the la from the middle of his name and swapping Buchholz for Young. Do you think Buchholz will ke...

Earlier today, I was able to speak with the filmmaker over the phone about the Blu-ray and DVD release on September 3, and the director confirmed that he is coming back for this follow-up.
Here's what he had to say about the development process.
The filmmaker wouldn't divulge any plot details regarding the sequel. No cast members have officially signed on yet, but it seems likely that we will see the return of Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Isla Fisher and Dave Franco as the Four Horseman, along with Mark Ruffalo as Dylan Rhodes.
Stay tuned for my full interview with Louis Leterrier for the Now You See Me Blu-ray and DVD release on September 3.
Now You See Me 2 comes to theaters June 10th, 2016 and stars Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Isla Fisher, Dave Franco, Mark Ruffalo. The film is directed by Jon M. Chu.
Now You See Me was released May 31st, 2013 and stars Jesse Eisenberg, Mark Ruffalo, Woody Harrelson, Isla Fisher, Dave Franco, Mélanie Laurent, Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine. The film is directed by Louis Leterrier.

Re "Sacramento loses out on natural history museum" (Editorial, Feb. 18): It wasn't just the Humane Society with concerns about a proposed waterfront museum showcasing a collection of trophy hunted animals.
Thirty-one of my colleagues in the Department of Biological Sciences at California State University, Sacramento co-signed a letter with me to the city's Planning Commission opposing the project owing to the limited educational value of the collection.
We do not agree with the view that trophy animal hunting promotes conservation worldwide. Instead, as we wrote: "If educating the public about biological conservation is the goal, there are far better ways to do this. A waterfront museum that focuses on the natural and anthropological history of our river area, and that also looks forward to how we can live sustainably, would be of far more value and would excite the public far more than seeing stuffed exotic species that have been killed for enjoyment."

Jak and Daxter: The Lost Frontier (PSP)
The problem with Jak and Daxter: The Lost Frontier is that I've been playing Ratchet & Clank: A Crack in Time. Which is a pretty unfair thing to do to a perfectly good PSP platformer. Lost Frontier isn't going to hold up next to one of the PlayStation 3's best games. But as an example of what Sony's handheld can do, this is probably about as good as it gets with platformers. And what's more, here's a secret: You get a bit more than just a platformer.
Veterans of PSP development
This iteration of Jak and Daxter was created by High Impact, a studio with plenty of experience taking larger franchises and reimagining them for the PSP. It did both of the PSP versions of Ratchet & Clank, and its experience shows. Lost Frontier looks great and it's well adapted to the limitations of the system. If you want to flex the graphical power of your PSP, this is one of the better games to do it.
You get three different types of gameplay here. The weakest bits are based on the series' greatest liability: Daxter. In case you're not acquainted with Daxter, imagine the most annoying cartoon weasel you've ever seen in a throwaway animated movie. Now cast Joe Pesci as his voice. But since you can't get Joe Pesci for your project, instead cast someone doing an over-the-top nails-on-a-chalkboard impression of Joe Pesci. Now write funny dialogue for him that isn't funny. Then have him mug at the camera to punctuate various unfunny jokes. Voil?! You have Daxter. The Jak and Daxter franchise is actually sitting on a gold mine here. Just make a game, preferably on the Nintendo Wii, in which you beat Daxter to death with a mallet. It'll sell in droves. I'll buy a dozen copies myself.
Fortunately, Daxter shuts up for much of Lost Frontier. There are short segments in which he becomes -- get this! -- even more annoying by getting infected with evil toxin. The toxin turns him into a Tasmanian Devil-type creature, this time voiced by someone trying to sound like Harvey Fierstein. He punches and spits and twirls his way along a tightly scripted point-A-to-point-B path with a fixed camera following the action. You cannot wait to get out. It recreates the feeling of being trapped and needing to escape. Although I'm not sure that's the effect they were going for. Where's my Daxter-beating game already?
Mind the gap
The bulk of Lost Frontier is typical Jak and Daxter platforming, which is a mix of slightly confused combat and very old-school now-you-are-dead jumping. The combat is the series' usual blend of guns and punching. But Jak still can't quite make up his mind whether he's a ranged class or a melee class. It doesn't help that the PSP means there's no second analog stick, so Lost Frontier relies on a heavy auto-aim. This makes gunplay a matter of holding down the fire button and watching the ammo counter. Furthermore, the gun upgrades are strictly canned based on gameplay progression, but you get to purchase melee abilities from a flexible menu as you play. For a guy with such a nifty gun, Jak sure does seem to want you to punch enemies instead of shoot them.
Finally, there is Lost Frontier's overworld gameplay. Historically, this has been one of the series' more interesting aspects, even if it wasn't always successful. Jak II was a sci-fi version of Grand Theft Auto, with a city full of hovercars. Then Jak III did a cartoon "Mad Max" dune-buggy overworld when Borderlands was but a twinkle in Gearbox's eye. Now comes Lost Frontier, which ties everything together with a cool arcade flight sim. I bet you didn't know you were getting one of those.
It's a bit odd how much design went into this part of the game, because it upstages everything else. You collect scrap to buy upgrades for various parts, which you then use to configure your airplanes. You choose different powers, each upgradeable, for different slots. And when you fly, you're actually playing a bona fide arcade flight game that looks great. These parts are thrilling because so few games do this well on the PSP. The closest anyone has come is the space combat in the Star Wars: Battlefront games, but they didn't have anywhere near this much sense of personal investment. A little customization goes a long way, particularly when the gameplay is this strong.
Here there be ? oh, never mind
One of the biggest drawbacks of Lost Frontier is the lack of incentive to do side missions. High Impact has built an attractive place with a degree of freedom rare in most platformers. But all you earn for going through the trouble of running timed obstacle courses, finding hidden nooks, or flying off to explore alternate areas are precursor orbs. These sound pretty cool, but all they do is unlock visual tweaks. It's a step up from, say, unlocking concept art. But the irony of Lost Frontier is that there's really not enough incentive to explore it.
Still, until I get my Daxter-punching sim, this will do nicely as the next step for the series. If you're into platformers, High Impact has you covered for those times you're not in front of your PlayStation 3 with a copy of Ratchet & Clank: A Crack in Time. And that's pretty much what the PSP is supposed to do.
This review is based on a retail copy of the game provided by the publisher.

Market dynamics have moved companies to offering customers, employees, partners, even the public, direct access to various levels of applications and data on the company infrastructure. This trend seems set to continue with the advent of the mobility megatrend and the expansion of social collaboration and knowledge sharing.
However, this has also made the sale and exploitation of confidential data, such as personal data, bank accounts, payment information, research data, etc. a blooming and global business.
MotivesThe clients motives for mitigating the increasing risk of data theft are to avoid business process interruption without sacrificing the ability to provide stakeholders with necessary access to business processes. Authorities, mindful of citizens wish for privacy and the societal importance of key industries, have issued compliance rules that must be observed.
Consequentially, companies in key industries must also report their formal adherence to those rules to avoid extended and costly auditing as well as penalties.
OfferingsOur offerings range from planning impact and risk assessments, designing business continuity, devising optimal information security infrastructures, to continuous monitoring of security controls and business compliance requirements.

Score from 2378 reviews Good
We loved the quiet of the hotel; unless you saw another guest it was so easy to think that you were the only guests! There was a real sense of calm which was great coming back at the end of the day. The staff were very friendly and helpful and we especially liked the décor. It was so nice to be staying in a hotel that had character and comfort. It was great to come back in the evening and sit in our snug sitting room with a bottle of wine and relax. We both would highly recommend Nob Hill Inn which was a recommendation by the Guardian newspaper! Thank you for a lovely stay.
- great staff - clean and cosy hotel - beautifully styled (especially the bathtub)
- a bit on the small side
Size, comfort and appointment of the space.
Style and ambience of the property was good. We paid for a bigger room which was very nice. Afternoon tea was provided daily in the lobby and coffee/tea was offered in the morning. Easy walk to downtown city and services
Noisy (our room overlooked the street) and hot (no air cond). Afternoon staff struggled with English and were not that helpful. Breakfast not included.
I really liked the rooms - I stayed in two different ones at each end of my overall trip and they were both very clean and had everything required. The free wi-fi is great and easy to access, the bath is AMAZING and the decor beautiful. If you are a light sleeper I would recommend ear plugs because there is some street noise but if you want to stay in a great city location then you will get that anywhere and quite probably need to get over it! The overall service was fantastic - friendly but not instrusive and certainly very accommodating. I loved the bed.
I think breakfast included in the price would have been good but offering that as part of the room price does not seem to be the standard in very many places in the US. Having said that though, the breakfast options were very cheap with prompt service and available until 10am so can't really complain! The pillows are a little on the hard side but then some people prefer that!
Old building with plenty of character. Good service. Comfy room.
The location of the hotel was great. Near Union Square. The lady at the reception was very kind and helpful. Nice historic building. Nice room. Good service.
The room was smaller than I expected.
Location. We like to walk and this hotel was about an half hour walk from Fisherman's Wharf taking us thru China Town and Little Italy. Lots of little restaurants nearby. Good sized room.
No coffee making facility. Not that it was too much of an issue, but I would make a coffee if it was available.
Staff were very friendly and helpful. Room very clean and a great central location.
It would have been nice to have a fan in the room as there is no air conditioning. It got quite hot at night. But only a minor problem.
Liked location, the staff who kindly checked us in to next flight & printed boarding passes & breakfast very adequate for us. The room with separate sitting room that had foldout couch was perfect for 3 adults. The furnishings were fabulous from the 'old times' just like it shows online & we all slept well!
Very warm welcome, lovely rooms with period furniture, great location (easy walk to Union Square). Would stay there again without hesitation.
Location is superb Staff are very friendly and supportive Rooms are very nice and clean We had a two room suite, which was great for a family of four. Wifi was good
Our room (two room suite) was facing the street and it was rather noisy. Breakfast not included into the room rate
The street noise from the room is unbearable. Was impossible to sleep...the windows are like paper
Spacious rooms and relaxing atmosphere
Location near the center
The hotel is ok, but there is a terrible smell everywhere
Location was amazing. Right in the heart of San Fran. Walking distance to most things, including cable cars, coit tower, fisherman's wharf, restaurants and shopping.
I was travelling with a couple. They enjoyed the stay. I had difficulty sleeping on a sofa bed which was too soft because it lacked a proper mattress.
Great location for us, our room was on the 2nd floor with a super bay window. Our older teenage girls had an adjoining separate room with washbasin and tv which was perfect. Loved the quaintness of this hotel and the friendliness of all the staff which made our stay in San Francisco all that we wanted. (Loved the afternoon tea and sherry!)
Great location, generally friendly and helpful staff.
Of the twenty hotels/B&B's that we stayed in during our ten week trip, the room we were given at Nob Hill was by far the most inconvenient and lacking in amenities. No windows, limited storage space and the room was so small we kept getting in each other's way! If allocated Room 5 insist on a change!!
Lovely period feel to this central San Francisco hotel.
The corner bay room we had (3rd floor) was so loud it was like sleeping on a roundabout.
- you can walk everywhere from here - small room but cozy (double bed). - nice bathroom - wifi in the rooms - nice lobby - old style 2 people elevator - clean rooms (you never know with carpets but it looked)
- No outdoor light from my room. - loud noise under the room during the night (like a fan or AC or something) - Booking.com said there was breakfast included and there was only coffee/tea included, they charge an extra 2.50$+tax for each item you want to order - Parking is a pain in that area
-Very close to the Union Square, just a short walk to have access to all buses and the cable car -breakfast possible -good service
-very small rooms, no windows meaning that it's always dark -in the bathroom was muck on the mirror -it wasn't possible to lock the door at all because there was always a small gap -very expensive for the size of room you'll get
Street noise at night
Location Sherry and tea time Décor Big bathroom Comfy bed
Difficulty in unloading bags and carrying up stairs, had great help from staff though. Other rooms had lift access. Need to add 30$ per night for parking (very close)
Location Staff Character
Noise - No air conditioning so slept with windows open and heard cars accelerating up hill all night

Who better to narrate this Rankin-Bass Animagic version of The Emperor's New Clothes than Danny Kaye, who starred as celebrated Danish storyteller Hans Christian Andersen in the 1952 musical film of the same name? Taking more than a few delightful liberties with Andersen's original tale, this version is all about the pompous, self-impressed Emperor Klockenlocher, whose vanity proves his undoing when he is hoodwinked by a pair of con artists into spending a million dollars on a new wardrobe spun from "invisible cloth." Cyril Ritchard, best remembered as Captain Hook in Mary Martin's adaptation of Peter Pan, provides the voice of the Emperor, with TV legend Imogene Coca voicing the role of the Emperor's daughter, Princess Jane. The usual Rankin-Bass creative team is well in attendance, including artist Paul Coker Jr., who provided the character design, and Maury Laws, who penned the wonderful musical numbers "Come Along With Me," "Creation," "The Tailor's Song," "Clothes Make the Man," and "I See What I Want to See." Enhanced with a handful of live-action sequences filmed on location in Denmark, The Emperor's New Clothes debuted as an ABC network special on February 21, 1972.

The Binghamton Mets scored the game-winning run without the aid of a hit and the bullpen provided four shutout innings of relief in a 2-1 victory over the Akron Aeros Friday night at Canal Park. With the game tied and the bases loaded on two walks and a hit batsman in the top of the seventh, Wilfredo Tovar lifted a weak popup behind first base. Jose Ramirez raced over from second, but dropped it, allowing Cory Vaughn to score the go-ahead run. The B-Mets were forced to play catch-up after the Aeros used the bottom of their order to strike in the second. Roberto Perez started the rally with a two-out double to left-center. B-Mets starter Cory Mazzoni allowed a single and issued a walk to load the bases, but worked ahead of nine-hitter Delvi Cid to an 0-2 count. Cid waved at a low breaking ball, but the third strike kicked away from B-Mets catcher Juan Centeno, rolling fifteen feet from home plate. Centeno failed to cleanly bare-hand the ball, allowing Perez to score from third. After...

You're sure wearing a seat belt, avoiding texting and checking your blindspots while driving but you might also want to listen to Coldplay to stay safe on the road.
You read it right, the British band's tunes have been concluded as soothing and could help you avoid accidents while driving.
According to the London Metropolitan University professor Simon Moore, the optimum music volume for driving is 55 to 65 decibels, while the ideal tempo should mimic the human heartbeat at around 60 to 80 beats per minute.
And Coldplay's "The Scientist" topped the list of "ultimate safe driving songs" compiled by Confused.com, the creator of driving app MotorMate based on Moore's findings.
The other songs that landed on the safe-driving playlist includes: Norah Jones' "Come Away With Me," Jason Mraz's "I'm Yours," Radiohead's "Karma Police" and Elton John's "Tiny Dancer." For more, check out the video above.
The finding also cautioned against listening to music that is noisy, upbeat and increases your heart rate. An Example of such songs would be Black Eyed Peas' "Hey Mama," which topped Confused.com's list of top 10 dangerous driving songs.

MEMS anti-stiction coatings patented
The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has awarded High Tech Services Inc. the patent No. 79274423 for the method of VAPOR DEPOSITION OF ANTI-STICTION LAYERS FOR MICROMECHANICAL DEVICES.
This patent recognizes High Tech Services, Inc.'s unique equipment designs that significantly contribute to increased yields in the manufacturing of MEMS devices.
Manufacturing of MEMS devices is a very specialized field of semiconductor technology that produces microscopic parts that actually move as a function of their design. In the early days of MEMS development it became apparent that one of the handicaps of MEMS manufacturing is a phenomenon called Stiction, defined as "sticking friction". This is where two micro surfaces come in contact with each other; they stick together and cannot be unstuck. It is common for a MEMS manufacturer to spend many years and millions of dollars to develop a working device and then have it fail prematurely from the stiction effect. This is a problem that all MEMS manufacturers have to overcome before their devices are marketable.

A Woman's Vagina Is Tasty brought to you by PornHub
I have a question i my inbox from one of my followers who wishes to remain anonymous looking for tips on how to eat pussy because apparently from my stories it seems i know how to suck cock so they're hoping i can exhibit the same level of skill in this too. They have also requested that i do it with my "normal FLARE for wirting as well as advice giving" (didn't realize i had that ) *Pressure* :) So here goes :)
Is there anything more erotic, more satisfying, more – mere words fail me – than going down on a woman, eating her pie, giving her head, performing oral sex, eating her out, etc.? I think not.What is more the essence of sex than a woman's vagina? The source of her pleasure, home of the clitoris, center of her sexual universe? Nothing, in my opinion. All roads lead to the vagina, do they not? Look at a lovely woman. On the street, in the mall, at work – anywhere. Her abundant hair, alluring eyes, soft full lips. Follow down the curve of her neck, the swell of her breasts, the strength of her stomach. When you hit the center of her body, right between her beautiful legs, you've hit the center of her being.Or start with her delicate feet. Strong enough to carry her for a lifetime, yet supple enough to massage and fondle. Also, by the way, often cold enough to freeze whatever they touch under the blankets! Move your eyes up those shapely calves to the curve of her thighs and roundness of her tush, and there it is again, the Bermuda Triangle, mysterious and unknown.
When you hold a woman's legs apart and use your tongue and talents correctly, you may become a very popular lover indeed. Songs may be written about you. Statues erected of your likeness. College dorms named after you. (LOL just kidding ) But at the very least, you'll have very few lonely nights.
Now, for those of you of don't know a vulva from a Volvo, a clitoral hood from an oven hood, let's start with a quick and simple anatomy lesson, so we're all on the same page when it comes to descriptions. By the way, I prefer to call the area the pussy, as I do in my stories. It's kind of erotic, I think, where cunt is too harsh and vagina is too clinical. Plus, gash, slit, love tunnel, etc. are too cute and can get confusing.The entire outside of the vagina is called the vulva. The large, soft outside lips are the labia majora, while the inside, thinner and more delicate lips are called thelabia minora. High up on top, inside the inner lips is the clitoral hood, which when lifted reveals the clitoris itself, which can actually swell and become somewhat erect when stimulated. The small opening right below the clitoris is the urethra, where urine comes out. Below the urethra of course is the larger opening of the vagina. Between the vagina and the anus is the perineum, called the 'taint' in slang ('taint the asshole, taint the vagina.') Got all that? Good, let's get to it.
Ohand before i forget: I MUST advise you, I'm not a doctor or sex practitioner. If you happen to meet a doctor that loves licking pussy as much as I do, and has done as much of it, feel free to listen to their advice instead of mine. Of course, it may cost you $100 for every 15 minutes, while I'm free (And here I was thinking that I was just cheap.) Plus, I've been to the doctor many times, never discussed eating pussy – not once. What do we pay them for, anyway? And with that, away we go…Do understand, please, that every person on the planet is different. One woman's honey may be another's poison, or something like that. Instructions are fine, but we're not assembling a bicycle here. There's more than one way to do it. In fact, there are many, many ways, some of which I'm sure that I'm not aware of yet (though I do try so hard to stay current.) As they say, communication is the key, baby. If she likes what you're doing, or even loves it, keep it up. If she doesn't like your technique, all is not lost. Just dial it down a notch perhaps, begin with the basics as I will explain them. If the challenge, however, is that she wants you to be wilder, crazier, more intense, please call me immediately, I'll be right over to help. :) (Kidding)
Don't rush to the vagina as soon as you're both aroused enough to undress. Take your time, oh impatient one, it will be worth the wait and increase her arousal tenfold. Start with her neck and shoulders. Caress, kiss and lick your way down her chest, lingering on her breasts. I can not overstate how sensitive a woman's nipples are. When you circle her aureoles with your lips or fingers, then lightly (or not so lightly, depending on her) squeeze her nipples, she'll likely feel the vibration right down to her buzzing pussy.Not too long on those nipples, though – she may get sensitive quickly and you don't want to make her squirm -yet. Kiss the soft insides of her thighs, her calves, even her feet. By the time you get down to the vagina itself, she should be primed andaching for your tongue. Do take your time and by all means, enjoy yourself down there. It's what you've been dreaming about, right? Savor the sight, the smell, and the glory of it all. Kiss it, caress it, rub your thumbs all over the soft folds of beautiful flesh. Are you getting the picture? This is no time to rush, you're not eating an ice pop here. It's not going to melt. Be slow and thorough. Trust me - she'll appreciate it.Don't go right for the kill by starting off licking her clit. (For the men i know that you are result oriented, and i know you may want to make her cum fast.) But it's not all about the orgasm, it's about the journey.So slow down. Lick her outside and inside pussy lips first, with broad, flat strokes of your tongue. Lick around the inside of her vagina and, if you like, use your stiffened tongue like a mini penis, sticking it in and out of the hole.
Do - Now, when all this prep work (you call this work?) is done, move your tongue up to the clit and even when you get there, toy with it. Lick around the clit in circles, lick over the top, around the bottom – all before you really get down to business, which is sucking her clit into you mouth and licking it fast with the tip of your tongue until she cums.
Don't neglect her nipples either. With your tongue on her clit, reach up, over, whatever, and gently hold her breasts. As she gets closer, circle her aureoles lightly, as her breathing and body language announce her impending orgasm, squeeze her nipples. Believe me, some ladies will save you the trouble and do it themselves. They know the secret, that this extra stimulation will break the bank, sending them crashing into climax at warp speed. Her moans and cries will prove me right.
Do try different positions. They keep things from getting stale as a result of repetition. If you, as a lover, always keep her guessing what's next, what's new and what's different, you'll always be at the top of her hit list. She'll always look forward to making love to you. If you like the standard position, on your stomach while she lies on her back with legs spread, that's fine. I like it too.But try this: You're lying on your back while she straddles your face, essentially the "sit on my face" position. It enables her to grind her pussy into your face as hard as she likes, which is always a treat. It also lets you easily reach up and play with her breasts. Holding hands is nice and tender, too, if you're into that. Another favorite of mine is eating her from behind while she's on all fours in the doggie position. And here's a great one: she's sitting in a chair while you kneel in front of her, happily lapping her juices. She can keep her legs spread with her feet on the floor, or place them over your shoulders. Standing up works, too, with you under her spread legs. Careful, she may go wobbly in the knees when she comes.
Don't think I forgot about the 69 position. I think it's fabulous, with one drawback. Certainly, the more aroused you get, the more feeling and passion you'll put into your end of the bargain. But the closer you get to orgasm, either you or she will lose your concentration while you focus on how good it feels to you.
Do hum. It means more than you enjoying your efforts. When you hold her clit in your lips and hum, it works like a small vibrator, which is exactly what it is. The vibrations will spread from her clit to all areas, and make her tingle like a tuning fork. It may seem odd at first, but not when she feels it. You hum, she'll sing.When she's about to cum, you know you're doing the right thing. So don't change your approach just as she's gonna blow. If you're sucking on her clit and she's squirming and shaking, her breath coming in gasps, don't suddenly switch to licking her clit with broad strokes. You'll kill the flow. If she's just about there…just keep doing what you're doing until she cums. Variety is great, but when you're about to score a touchdown, don't change the play. (That bit it for my sporty men) :) Added to this dn't stop what you're doing as soon as she starts to cum. Ride it out with her - no matter how much she wiggles beneath you keep sucking/licking TRUST me it goes a LONG way :)
Her clit, which you know by now is like a mini penis, is the center of her universe. So make sure that you do get the best access you can to it. How? By pulling the clitoral hood out of the way. To some degree, the clitoral hood, which protects her clit like an umbrella protects you from the rain, will move out of the way on its own. But not all the way. Therefore, take your thumb and from the top of the hood, pull up so that her lovely little clit is fully exposed.
Above all, do go for it! If you remember just one thing, it's to lick, fondle and suck your way to her heart. There's no downside to giving her oral sex. No taboo, no mystery. If you want to be considered a good lover, it's got to be in your repertoire. You'll love it, believe me, just love it.
Hope i did well - please give me feedback ladies - and gents who think they are experts in this area :)
ADULT CONTENT ;) My love is amazing, but damn just reading this got me tingly ;)

Easy way to organize and set up PvP conflict within the context of the game world. Any other ways I can think of (all players attackable by anyone? PvE only zones and PvP zones scattered around the world? Random selection at the start of BGs?) are much more complicated than simply "There are two teams. Team A fights Team B." Those other solutions also lack convenient hooks you can use to tie the PvP content into the plot.
You could have a game with no PvP content, or limit it to duels and gladiator fights, but lots of players LIKE PvP, and Blizzard wants to take EVERYBODY'S money. Plus, PvP has the advantage of being a renewable resource in the way PvE is not. Every time you fight Deathwing, it's the same fight. He's not going to do anything to surprise you. But Battlegrounds have different 'mechanics' and 'spawns' and 'phases' every single time you do them, and all blizzard has to do is create a place for that to happen and turn the players loose. It keeps a lot of folks busy during content lulls.
So yeah, lots of reasons why mmos set up the "you guys vs. them guys" scenario.
It depends on the MMO, but in Warcraft, factions serve the purpose of allowing the players to chooses which side of a conflict they want to play on. At its most basic level, WoW is the classic fantasy trope of monsters vs demihumans, and amidst that backdrop, various events often interfere with and delay the conflict.
The relevance of factions depends heavily on the story writers, and over the last three expansions, that role has been set aside because of various "greater evils." There's no point in fighting to control the world if Kil'Jaeden/Arthas/Deathwing comes along and destroys it.
I would love to see cross-faction raiding, I really would, but something I would like to see more is for faction choices to actually have more impact and relevance, and for a lot less vilifying of the Horde and a lot less sugarcoating of the Alliance. Pushing the whole "Horde is savage and evil" bit is as tired and boring as the "Alliance is noble and true" crap that some plots have tried to peddle.
DarkWalker said...
I actually prefer when MMOs I play don't use permanent factions to segregate players. I see the downside of segregation as way bigger than any upside from faction identity or easy conflict setup.
Besides, if there are factions, I usually have a very simple way to choose them: get into the already most popular one. This same motivation apparently is true for a large enough portion of the player that, without a very careful balancing act by the developers, most likely involving bonuses for the underrepresented faction, faction-based games degenerate into multiple imbalanced servers and the conflict greatly downplayed due to lack of opponents. It's a big part of why Blizzard had to allow same faction match ups for Arenas and Rated BGs.
Games without fixed factions, on the other hand, can keep the balance way easier. When players can change who they fight for at the drop of a hat, the queue sizes for instanced fights alone are often enough to balance the factions reasonably well.

This week on "The Cross and the Jukebox," we step back and look at a broader theme in music: the persistence of blood. Willie Nelson, for instance, will often go from singing songs about honky-tonking and hard-living to singing "There Is a Fountain." This is at the same time that, in almost every generation, some tell us blood is offensive to contemporary sensibilities.
But the blood abides. And on this episode, I pose the question why. We'll listen to some covers by Alan Jackson ("Are You Washed in the Blood?") and Mahalia Jackson ("Power in the Blood"), as we look at why people, even those who don't know Christ, often want to hear blood in their gospel.

"Education is not preparation for life, education is life itself." This type of total immersion is what I have always referred to as teaching "heavy," working hard, spending time, researching, attending to details and never feeling satisfied that I knew enough on any topic. I now find that this approach to my profession is not only devalued, but denigrated and perhaps, in some quarters despised. STEM rules the day and "data driven" education seeks only conformity, standardization, testing and a zombie-like adherence to the shallow and generic Common Core, along with a lockstep of oversimplified so-called Essential Learnings. Creativity, academic freedom, teacher autonomy, experimentation and innovation are being stifled in a misguided effort to fix what is not broken in our system of public education
My profession is being demeaned by a pervasive atmosphere of distrust, dictating that teachers cannot be permitted to develop and administer their own quizzes and tests (now titled as generic "assessments") or grade their own students' examinations. The development of plans, choice of lessons and the materials to be employed are increasingly expected to be common to all teachers in a given subject. This approach not only strangles creativity, it smothers the development of critical thinking in our students and assumes a one-size-fits-all mentality more appropriate to the assembly line than to the classroom.

{ Teacher's resignation letter: 'My profession … no longer exists' }
This can be done by an entire culture over centuries,
Or by a small group or even a single person over singular years. Their work may then be expanded upon and perhaps even realized by following generations. Take for example, Jules Verne's all-electric submarine, or Star Trek's warp drive, and holodeck.
Because it's one of those days: I feel discouraged and therefore brain-dead. But trying to keep showing up.

Thank you.
That's awesome! It's good you're starting now; seems like you're on the right track.
As for your poetry blog, "nerds" are very creative people. You have to be, once you get past the rote memorization stuff and into problem-solving, theory, and exploration. And of course [we] have feelings! […even if many of us tend to think of those as an epiphenomenon of a physical system.]
I hope you'll do well, and best of luck with your personal things. Good to have an outlet. If you do the work and remember to keep a balance of honesty and logic, it'll get better after 15.

{ Innovation Starvation }
Neal Stephenson
In his recent book Adapt: Why Success Always Starts with Failure, Tim Harford outlines Charles Darwin's discovery of a vast array of distinct species in the Galapagos Islands—a state of affairs that contrasts with the picture seen on large continents, where evolutionary experiments tend to get pulled back toward a sort of ecological consensus by interbreeding. "Galapagan isolation" vs. the "nervous corporate hierarchy" is the contrast staked out by Harford in assessing the ability of an organization to innovate.
Most people who work in corporations or academia have witnessed something like the following: A number of engineers are sitting together in a room, bouncing ideas off each other. Out of the discussion emerges a new concept that seems promising. Then some laptop-wielding person in the corner, having performed a quick Google search, announces that this "new" idea is, in fact, an old one—or at least vaguely similar—and has already been tried. Either it failed, or it succeeded. If it failed, then no manager who wants to keep his or her job will approve spending money trying to revive it. If it succeeded, then it's patented and entry to the market is presumed to be unattainable, since the first people who thought of it will have "first-mover advantage" and will have created "barriers to entry." The number of seemingly promising ideas that have been crushed in this way must number in the millions.
What if that person in the corner hadn't been able to do a Google search? It might have required weeks of library research to uncover evidence that the idea wasn't entirely new—and after a long and toilsome slog through many books, tracking down many references, some relevant, some not. When the precedent was finally unearthed, it might not have seemed like such a direct precedent after all. There might be reasons why it would be worth taking a second crack at the idea, perhaps hybridizing it with innovations from other fields. Hence the virtues of Galapagan isolation.
I wondered in '09, about our consumer culture: { when is it time to choose and do? }
Especially knowing that much of our time is spent with { desire engines } that don't really lead to proactive production.
The idea of "Galapagan isolation", if practiced outside of industry (since it's practically impossible to practice within it, now), is one way out of the consumer's loop. Realizing that, despite one's knowledge maybe being limited, and despite the idea maybe having been done before (or maybe in the process of being done) it's worthwhile to try it anyway, if only to improve upon past efforts in an idiosyncratic way. A few unique variables can change the end result immensely, to something surprising and new.
And don't give me any sentimental nonsense about creativity. I believe that a Universal Turing Machine could show behaviors that we would construe as creative.
Neal Stephenson, Cryptonomicon
The larger lesson is that the brain is a neural tangle of near infinite possibility, which means that it spends a lot of time and energy choosing what not to notice. As a result, creativity is traded away for efficiency; we think in literal prose, not symbolist poetry. And this is why constraints are so important: It's not until we encounter an unexpected hindrance – a challenge we can't easily resolve – that the chains of cognition are loosened, giving us newfound access to the weird connections simmering in the unconscious. Here are the scientists: Consistently, these studies show that encountering an obstacle in one task can elicit a more global, Gestalt-like processing style that automatically carries over to unrelated tasks, leading people to broaden their perception, open up mental categories, and improve at integrating seemingly unrelated concepts.
Need to Create? Get a Constraint | Wired Science | Wired.com (via wildcat2030)
linking this to the { network synchronization } study
+ this post about { networks }
I had a thought a while back, when I first read about networks synchronizing at faster speeds when disordered, that it might have something to do with creativity. I haven't read Lehrer's article yet, but the title, "Need to Create? Get a constraint." is relevant. If it's enough to go off of, I'm not sure yet. But, my idea is about the wandering mind — versus beginning with an end in mind (beginning with a pre-ordered network, which excludes anything (seemingly) unrelated to the goal), things really happen when you begin with disorder: everything is included. "Think Wrong." And those "wrong" things trigger pathways that wouldn't have otherwise come about (in an ordered network, they'd be closed off). A surprisingly inefficient beginning leads to efficiency later by leaving possibilities open…
Lehrer is talking about something a little different, but, constraints are what help shape a disordered network. Everything is open, but eventually, you do want to get somewhere… In a class I had two years ago, we went through a process of making lists of things that popped up. The end product might be a book, but on the list you might have cabbage, lions, nuns, stained glass, a library, two crabs and a pineapple. They're not necessarily things to use so much as triggers to help unravel the pathways that would otherwise go unnoticed, since pre-ordering is sort of like tunnel vision.
Additionally, there were some studies about creatives & depression that I was interested in some time ago. Someone wrote about the fact that creative people actually pay attention to many more sensory stimuli than someone more… "efficient". Stimuli that can, and maybe should, otherwise be ignored… the rust on a pole, some gravel, the color of a particular brick, and those thoughts about being a crocodile. All totally inefficient, and possibly draining, for a mind to be attentive of the unimportant and the important, simultaneously and round the clock.
Back to constraints. Finally, you have some thing. Maybe a problem, an object, a canvas… and that's a point of concentration. Then you can put all of your lobsters on it and whatever else you'd been collecting, and once they're all on there you can begin to take some away, and there it is. Problem solved. Hopefully.
Something like that.
Lehrer sums it up well:
A more global thought process is generally ideal for coming up with truly creative solutions, as it makes people more likely to notice cross-cutting connections.
But, how? And isn't it interesting that it applies so extensively to various types of networks… I don't want to say universally, I'm not sure about that. But the network synchronization study seems to point to it.

In light of this morning's tragic news, I wanted to share a personal post from January 2012, written shortly after learning Charlie Trotter's would serve its final meal in August of that year. My chances of dining there before my own passing were now officially zero.
Chef Trotter and I both hail from Wilmette, although a generation apart, I knew who he was growing up. Which is kinda weird, I admit, but that's what happens when you grow up with kids, some of which, have rich parents.
The above link is something of an abridged history of Trotter's. And it got me thinking: why has the news of his decision to close the restaurant remained on my mind all week?
I wasn't raised in a culinary family (Red Lobster was fancy) but I've been aware of how the other half lives since a very young age. I grew up among the 1%. My young classmates went to Trotter's with their families. It wasn't until high school that I grasped the ridiculousness of that - kids going to Trotter's? Is doesn't make sense, almost as if I created this memory, but regardless, Charlie Trotter has been a name I've recognized since too young of an age.
In high school, while part of me was all "f*ck this rich, fake bullsh*t", another part of me poured over the restaurant reviews in Chicago Magazine (parents subscribed) and Chicago Social (comped subscription because our zip code was their advertiser's target market). I read of amazing meals and imagined the well-heeled in beautiful dining rooms dropping more money on a bottle of wine than I made in a month (between babysitting and being an office assistant). So if you can imagine the few culinary experiences I've enjoyed in life have left their mark.
During winter break of my sophomore year in high school ('97/'98), I remember my friend's dad treating us to Topo Gigio in Old Town and it being the most expensive menu I had laid eyes on (remember: Red Lobster was fancy). Pretty sure I ordered the cheapest pasta dish. What a polite 14 year old I was.
Sophomore and junior year we dined at Bistro 110 before the spring formal. Senior year, a guy in our group was part of a "culinary family" so we dined at their Japanese restaurant overlooking the Mag Mile. I knew I was spoiled. I knew this wasn't normal.
Towards the end of my first semester at college, a large check from the university showed up in my dorm mailbox. I had been awarded a $1000 scholarship from UIUC's art school and here was the first half for my first semester. After a little celebratory thrifting, Lindsey, Lexi and I went to Bacaro, which had just opened in downtown Champaign to rave reviews. It was modern & as close to fine dining as you were going to find in Central Illinois in 2001. I donned jeans, gym shoes and my finest red down vest (a winter wardrobe staple). Then I enjoyed my first risotto.
I tried dating a chef when I was 19. I was living in Urbana. He had just moved back to Chicago after graduating from the CIA in NYC. It was a task. It didn't work out. But I think all I really ever wanted was for him to cook for me. To watch a professional. Now he is heading kitchens on the East Coast. It's funny seeing his name on GrubStreet.
It was the summer of my 23rd birthday and my boyfriend announced he had a huge surprise for me. He was taking me out for a meal neither of us would forget. And then he tried to make me guess the restaurant. I ran through the list of all the places we had talked about (but I never imagined us actually finding enough money to go). Everest? No. Spiaggia? No. Arun's? No. I demanded he tell me because I needed to know how to dress. So he let it out: Tru. I think I screamed. We went. It was fabulous. I still remember the soup course. And we made plans to go check out a new fancy restaurant once a month. Of course that never happened. But it's the idea that counts, right?
I'm 28 now and still not in the financial position to treat myself to $150 tasting menus, but old habits die hard (if at all) and I continue to follow the restaurant news, the buzz, the hype, the openings, and it's totally masochistic. Being a "poor foodie" is really just being a glutton for punishment.
But maybe if I'm lucky and I pinch my pennies, maybe I'll make it Trotter's before this Chicago classic bids us farewell. Twelve year old Jess would be very pleased with that.
RIP Chef Trotter. You trained the best, you inspired a city and you had a passion few of us can understand.
