Study intensive Spanish. Live with a host family.
The Universidad de Salamanca was founded in 1218 and remains the oldest University in Spain. A UNESCO World Heritage City, it is also one of the oldest in Europe. Over the past forty years, more than 150,000 students and teachers from around the world have studied at the Universidad de Salamanca.
Universidad de Salamanca-Cursos Internacionales
Intensive language courses are taught at the Universidad de Salamanca-Cursos Internacionales, which is the intensive language division of the university offering Spanish as a Foreign Language courses at all levels. All participants become official Universidad de Salamanca students, with the same access to all University facilities and services as Spanish students.
Spanish Learning (SL)
Spanish Learning (SL) is an organization which assists individual students and groups traveling to intensive language schools in Salamanca. SL makes all individual and group arrangements from airport pickup to airport drop off and serves as liaison between the student and Cursos Internacionales or the student and the host family when necessary. Students who participate through a one-month group option will travel to and from Salamanca as a group, with flight arrangements made through the UW Oshkosh Office of International Education and arrangements in Spain made through SL. Students who travel independently also have the option of using SL's services.
A representative from SL meets the individual or group at the airport in Madrid and accompanies the individual or group to Salamanca (June group or individual travelers) or on an entry tour to various Spanish cities (January group). SL staff are also available to answer student questions throughout the experience and in case of emergency. Services through SL include: airport pickup (Madrid's Barajas airport), host family selection and introduction, orientation, escort to the placement test, meeting after the first day of class to resolve any issues with class placement and host family placements, 24-hour emergency phone contact, field trips, taxi service to field trip departure sites; transportation to Madrid at the end of the program; airport drop off (Madrid's Barajas airport). UW Oshkosh students meet up with students from other parts of the world for many of the SL events.
Individuals who travel on their own (apart from a group) and who do not elect programming through Spanish Learning have the option of traveling to/from Salamanca on their own to study at Cursos Internacionales and/or through the Integrated Studies Program at any time of year. See the Cursos Internacionales course schedule for detailed class start and class end dates (click on "Spanish Courses" and "Spanish Language and Culture Courses"). The UW Oshkosh OIE will enroll participants through the program at Cursos Internacionales initially; participants are responsible for making all other arrangements pertaining to their travel and stay in Salamanca.
UW Oshkosh Faculty Leader (June only)
A UW Oshkosh faculty member accompanies our student group either from UW Oshkosh or from the airport in Madrid to Salamanca and remains in Salamanca for the first four or five days of the group program.

Academic Coursework
All courses are taught in Spanish, with class enrollment at 15 students maximum (14 maximum during July & August). Completion of Spanish 332 (Culture and Civilization of Spain) before traveling to Spain is highly recommended though not required.
January & June Programs Only
Course options include SPAN 203, 204, 300, 301, 304, 308, 309, 312, 313.
Optional Course
International Studies 333 1 unit (cr.)
Study Tour
Prerequisites: none; syllabus
If you request enrollment in this course on the study abroad application, you will be automatically enrolled and will not be contacted about the coursework involved. Assignments for this course must be done independently. Contact the Office of International Education with questions.
Semester & Modular Programs Only
Course options include all of the above plus 318, 332 & courses in English (Social Science Elective (SS) for European Union and Current Spain; Business Elective for International Marketing).
Advanced speakers may take courses with Spanish students; course equivalencies will be determined by the appropriate UW Oshkosh department/college.
Absences on Semester & Modular Programs
Consistent with the course attendance policy at UW Oshkosh, the maximum number of absences allowed by UW Oshkosh during a semester program in Spain is five days, including planned absences for university-sponsored field trips. While Cursos Internacionales at the Universidad de Salamanca will allow additional missed classes, UW Oshkosh will monitor course attendance separately. Missing more than the five days allowed in one or more classes will result in an "F" grade; Cursos Internacionales courses do appear on the UW Oshkosh transcript, along with the grade, and grades from these courses do calculate into the official UW Oshkosh G.P.A. Participants should be cautious in planning to miss class for purposes other than illness. Participants who miss more than five days of class due to a combination of planned absences (e.g. for travel or relaxation) and illness will not be considered to have met the attendance requirement.
I've taken all of the courses listed above. Can I stil earn credit?
Yes! Your advisor may approve course transfer to UW Oshkosh as one of the following options.
*Spanish 001U
Upper Level Elective that does NOT count toward major/minor requirements.
**Spanish 004U
Upper Level Elective that DOES count toward major/minor requirements.
Selecting Courses
Make an appointment with Dr. Elena Gonzalez-Muntaner (June program only) or Dr. David Gomez-Torres (all other time periods) in the Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures Spanish Division to determine course enrollment in Salamanca and course equivalencies at UW Oshkosh. Your advisor will complete, sign and give you a copy of your Course Enrollment Approval Form during your meeting. You must turn this form in to the OIE with your study abroad application.
When there is a difference between levels within the same course, you will be placed into the appropriate level after taking a placement exam in Spain. Your Course Enrollment Approval Form will show the lowest level into which you must place in order to receive transfer credit. If you place lower AND you have elected to study through Spanish Learning, SL will contact the UW Oshkosh OIE to discuss options and to ensure that course transfer is still possible.
Course Descriptions & Syllabi
Course Descriptions & Syllabi
Courses are offered at the INTERMEDIATE, ADVANCED AND PROFICIENCY LEVELS (except during the modular program).
- January & June Courses Join a UW Oshkosh student group for a one-month intensive language course.
- July & August Courses Spend June with the UW Oshkosh group and remain in Spain to earn additional course credit. Or, travel to Spain on your own for a summer of intensive language study.
- Trimester Courses (fall or spring semester) Designed for students who want to concentrate on intensive Spanish study. *Not all courses on the list are offered in March, September and/or December.
- Modular Program Courses (fall or spring semester) Designed for students who want to take regular courses in Spanish or English, not necessarily concentrating on the study of the Spanish language.
- Programa Especial Integrado (P.E.I.) Depending on your level of Spanish fluency, consider combining intensive language study with two to five courses offered through the PEI.
Class Hours
Courses are normally offered between 9:00 am and 1:00 or 2:00 pm. Afternoons are available for planned and individual activities.
Assignments and Exams
Participants should expect to spend anywhere from 1-3 hours on assignments outside of class, depending on their level of fluency, the number of class hours they are taking and class level. Participants should also expect to take exams.
Changing Course Enrollment through Cursos Internacionales
Students who want to change course enrollment may do so for a fee. However, students who change course enrollment while in Spain will not be guaranteed credit transfer upon return to UW Oshkosh. All course enrollment changes which take place in Salamanca should be approved in advance by the advisor who approved credit transfer for you originally.
Optional Conversation Practice - Afternoons in July & August only
If you want additional practice, enroll in Conversation Outside the Classroom. These classes have a maximum of 10 students per group and meet in coffee shops and cafés in Salamanca. No UW Oshkosh credit will be awarded.
Spanish Culture Courses - July & August only
Universidad de Salamanca - Cursos Internacionales also offers cinema, dance, guitar, songs and cooking. No UW Oshkosh credit will be awarded. Fees are payable directly to Cursos Internacionales.
Study Abroad and Graduation
Students participating in June, July and/or August and graduating at the end of this study abroad experience must choose a summer graduation date. Summer graduates may choose to walk in the May or the December graduation ceremony.
DPI Study Abroad Requirement for Foreign Language Teachers
College of Education & Human Services students planning to teach a foreign language after graduation must meet the DPI requirement for study abroad and must have a completed Certificate of Residency. For more information, visit the Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures Office on the third floor of Radford.
UW Oshkosh students who study in Salamanca for a minimum of 30 days (or on the January program) satisfy this requirement. Students from other campuses must check with their home institution to find out whether this program meets their requirement.
Full Estimated Cost of Participation
The "Full Estimated Cost of Participation" includes your Program Fee (the amount due directly to UW Oshkosh), your airfare and other expenses related to your participation on this program.
Full Estimated Cost of Participation:
$ 6020 January 2015
$14,350 Spring Semester 2015
$ 6,790 Spring Interim (June) 2014
$10,267 June/July 2014
$13,390 Fall Semester 2014
As part of the application process for this program, you are required to review, sign and submit the "Full Estimated Cost of Participation" worksheet for your program. The worksheet includes all of the cost details for your program and is linked from STEP III of the "Apply" section of this guide.
Accommodation & Meals
While studying in Salamanca, students live in accommodations in private residences with native Spanish speakers located around Salamanca. The homestay hosts provide a private room and three meals daily (meals must be eaten in the home). UW Oshkosh Spanish Division faculty recommend that two to three UW Oshkosh students stay at each homestay location. Families may also be hosting students from other parts of the world at the same time. Due to a limited number of host families, Spanish Learning will not be able to accommodate individuals as the only student per family.
Information on your host family will be shared with you no more than two weeks prior to travel. Typically, the information is quite basic. Our partners send us the family (last) name, the first name of the female head of household, the home address and sometimes the gender and ages of other family members.
You should bring either one gift for your entire host family to share or individual gifts for host family members (if you know something about each of them in advance, but this is unlikely). You don't need to spend a lot of money; give something made in your local community, something which represents the U.S. or a local food item (something non-perishable and which can be taken across borders - so no meats or seeds).
January & June - Group Accommodation
Check the link for your accommodation for amenities, room size and location. Rooms can be extremely small. It isn't unusual to have very little space around the bed, shorter beds, only a few inches for a closet pole, tight showers and/or buildings directly outside your window.
Hotel Convención (or similar; Madrid)
Tel: 011-34-91-221-4060; Fax: 011-34-91-574-5601
Situado junto a los centros comerciales de Goya en el Barrio de Salamanca y a sólo 500 metros del Parque del Retiro. Bien comunicado con el centro histórico. 790 habitaciones totalmente equipadas.
EUROSTARS/ PLAZA ACUEDUCTO (or similar; Segovia)
Address: Avda Padre Claret, 2-4, 40001 Segovia, Spain; Tel: 011-34-92-141-3403; Fax: 011-34-92-143-6999
El hotel Eurostars Plaza Acueducto se encuentra enclavado a las puertas del casco viejo de la ciudad y del Acueducto, que puede ser contemplado desde alguna de las habitaciones. Se trata de un edificio clásico, pero totalmente renovado para su inauguración en el 2006. En su interior ambiente y decoración se aúnan para ofrecerle una estancia memorable.
You and your friends may request each other as roommates by editing your on-line study abroad applications. The Office of International Education will not assign roommates unless students request EACH OTHER!
In some cases, participants may be able to elect a single room. There is always a significant fee; check with the Office of International Education for an estimate if you are interested.
Those who do not make a request will be assigned a roommate.
Your host family will provide three meals daily while in your host's home. Plan to pay for all meals eaten outside of the host family's home, including meals while on excursion, and all food and beverages eaten outside of meal times while in the host family's home.
Review the estimate for the amount of money you should bring to cover meals in the Full Cost of Participation worksheet. It is not reasonable to think that you can save money by spending less than the food estimate provided by the OIE! This estimate is meant to be the BARE MINIMUM in relation to your particular destination!
Undergraduate students must have a minimum G.P.A. of 2.0, be in good standing, and meet course prerequisites. As part of the application process, your disciplinary file will be reviewed. If you have a campus disciplinary file, this will be taken into consideration when determining your eligibility. Undergraduates who do not meet minimum GPA and course requirements should contact the program leader prior to applying to determine course eligibility.
Participants With Disabilities
If you have a disability that requires reasonable accommodation, it is best to consult with disability services on the UW Oshkosh campus at least a few weeks prior to the study abroad application deadline. If this isn't possible, consult with disability services as far in advance as possible or by the study abroad application deadline. If you are a student on another campus, please consult your own disability services office first and then ask that office to contact the UW Oshkosh disability services office at (920) 424-3100. Additional information on traveling with a disability is available from Mobility International U.S.A.
Pre-/Post-travel Class Dates
Inability or failure to attend class prior to or following your program abroad may affect your ability to participate, course grades and/or ability to receive and use financial aid.
- A pre-travel class date will be announced directly by your Program Leader.
Application Process
Before You Apply

If you are on the waiting list, you may receive a seat if applicants who have been conditionally admitted have not completed STEP III by the deadline.
After the deadline, seats are assigned in the order in which qualified applicants have completed all three steps.

Use the check boxes above to keep track of forms you've completed and then to track forms you've submitted to the OIE.
Communicating with the OIE
"Add Comment" vs. UW Oshkosh email
Prior to completing a study abroad application, OIE staff will correspond with you via your UW Oshkosh email account.
After completing the first step of the study abroad application process, which is done on line, you'll mainly communicate with the OIE via this same application. This allows all staff in the OIE to review questions or issues even when the primary staff member working with you is out of the office.
To ask or respond to a question, log in to your application and click on "Add Comment". Comments are emailed to you and to firstname.lastname@example.com and are saved in the application "history".
Communication to groups will be via UW Oshkosh email.
To avoid having our messages to you end up in the cyber trash, if you do not have a UW Oshkosh email address you must use your work or university email address. The OIE will not accept hotmail or yahoo addresses under any circumstances.
I've never used my UW Oshkosh email address before. How do I do this?
See http://www.uwosh.edu/titanapps for instructions. For help, call (920) 424-3020.
Withdrawal & Program Cancellation
Program Withdrawal
You are subject to the withdrawal and refund policy which you signed (or will sign) when you applied to a UW Oshkosh-sponsored study abroad program. Because this is a financial contract between you and the university, it is in your best interest to read this if you haven't already!
If at any time in this process you decide to withdraw, you must formally request to withdraw following the OIE Withdrawal Process.
Program Cancellation by UW Oshkosh
If a program is cancelled by UW Oshkosh, you will receive a full refund.

Once your "Notice of Financial Aid Award for Study Abroad" form has been submitted, a "positive service indicator" will appear on your record indicating that financial aid will be paying your study abroad program fees. This should not prevent you from doing anything except printing transcripts.

Visas & Residence Permits
A visa is an endorsement or stamp placed by officials of a foreign country in a U.S. passport that makes it possible for the bearer to visit that foreign country.
U.S. citizens and citizens from many other countries must apply for a visa prior to entering the host country ONLY if staying in that country or in the "Schengen" area (borderless region of Europe) for 90 days or longer.
If you will be studying abroad for 90 or more days, you will learn how to apply for your student visa at orientation.
Health Insurance
If I am on a UW Oshkosh-sponsored program, do I have insurance for medical and emergency services while studying abroad?
YES - but only during your official program dates! UW System requires all participants on UW Oshkosh-sponsored programs abroad to purchase insurance through Cultural Insurance Services International (CISI). This insurance is included in your study abroad program fee; your coverage will begin on the first day on which you are required to be in the host country and end on or just after the last day on which you are required to be in the host country.
All benefits are clearly explained on the Description of Coverage. If your program begins
- on or after May 1, 2013 - April 30, 2014, you will be covered under the insurance policy for 2013/2014 PLUS Comprehensive Security Evacuation Insurance.
- on or after May 2, 2014 - April 30, 2015, you will be covered under the insurance policy for 2014/2015 PLUS Comprehensive Security Evacuation Insurance PLUS the Personal Liability Summary of Coverage
Are there additional insurance requirements?
In addition to CISI, all students studying through an Australian, German, Japanese or New Zealand university are required by the foreign government to carry additional health insurance and our partner in Canada (UNB) requires additional health insurance. You will receive instructions and the necessary paperwork to obtain your insurance card at your host universitys orientation.
- Students studying in Australia must purchase "Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC).
- Students studying in Germany and New Zealand must purchase health insurance offered through individual universities.
- Students studying in Japan must join the National Health Insurance (NHI) system.
- Students studying at UNB in Canada must purchase UNB's international student health insurance.
How do I access information about my CISI coverage and print my insurance card?
Instructions on accessing information and printing your insurance card, among other things, are available from the myCISI portal. Use the CISI Participant Portal to
- View, print and email your
- Consulate letter (if you are applying for a visa to enter a foreign country, you may need this),
- Claim form (submit this directly to CISI)
- Access travel-related sites.
- Research country specific information.
- Access a personal security assistance website.
- Extend your coverage (prior to or following your program dates).
I will arrive abroad prior to my official program start date and/or will return after my official program end date. Do I need to extend my insurance coverage if I'm on a UW Oshkosh-sponsored program?
YES! If you don't extend your insurance coverage, you won't be covered. Follow the instructions to extend coverage in the myCISI portal. You must pay for the additional coverage directly to CISI at the time that you request the extension.
Can I use my personal health insurance plan without purchasing additional insurance for travel abroad?
If studying on a UW Oshkosh-sponsored Program, no. UW System does not allow for the exemption of any participant for any reason.
If you are studying through a program not sponsored by or affiliated with UW Oshkosh, sickness and accident coverage while in a foreign country may be included in your personal health insurance plan, but it is rare for personal health insurance plans to cover medical evacuation, security evacuation, repatriation or emergency medical reunion. BEFORE you travel you should be familiar with the type of coverage you have and the steps you need to take in order to use your policy abroad. If you are not satisfied that you have sufficient coverage abroad, you can purchase a temporary policy.
My insurance company requires me to be a full-time student in order to take advantage of a lower premium. Will study abroad affect my ability to keep this premium?
Your insurance company may require you to be a full-time student in order to take advantage of lower premiums. IF you are NOT enrolled in classes at UW Oshkosh for a full semester (i.e. you are transferring credits back to UW Oshkosh at the end of your study abroad program), AND you are NOT enrolled for full-time credit through another accredited U.S. institution, this may affect your premiums. Information on your enrollment status is automatically extracted from UW Oshkosh records and sent to a Clearinghouse, which many insurance companies monitor. You will show up in the Clearinghouse as "not enrolled" at UW Oshkosh IF you are not enrolled for courses AT UW OSHKOSH, and your premiums may be affected.
In order to avoid problems, contact your insurance company BEFORE leaving for your study abroad destination. Your insurance company will either give you a form or a list of information which they need. You can fax this form/list to the institution abroad for verification of full-time status while studying there.
Please note that if you are on Academic Leave of Absence, you are being reported by UW Oshkosh as "not enrolled."
What are some insurance supplements or alternatives?
- If you need comprehensive security evacuation insurance, Global Rescue and International SOS both offer to individuals.
- At $22, the International Student Identity Card (ISIC) is a popular option for students. The ISIC can be purchased on line; policy details are available from the link above. To call STA Travel: 1-800-329-9537 (menu option "Student, youth and teacher identity cards"). A second option is to search on the internet or contact your local travel agent. There are many other insurance companies that will cover you during your time abroad.
What are medical evacuation, security evacuation, repatriation and medical reunion?
Medical evacuation, security evacuation and repatriation benefits cover the insured when the insured is moved to a location outside of the host country or returned to the U.S. because a medical condition cannot be treated locally, because of a security risk at the site abroad or because of the death of the insured. Medical reunion benefits cover a family member who travels to the location where the insured is undergoing medical treatment. If you have medical reunion, identify one or more family members who have a valid passport as your emergency contact. Anyone not holding a valid passport will need to apply for one before being able to take advantage of emergency medical reunion.
Is the insurance offered through CISI sufficient?
CISI insurance is not comprehensive. It is each participant's responsibility to review the policy for sufficient coverage. If you feel that coverage is insufficient, purchase additional coverage through your insurance agent. Do not cancel your health insurance policy in the U.S. while you are gone. In most cases, your international policy will cover you while you are gone and/or bring you back to the U.S., but once you return, your domestic policy will need to provide coverage.
Emergency Contacts
In a life and death emergency ABROAD
U.S. Department of State Citizen Emergency Center (1-202-647-5225) will relay messages to the foreign Embassy. Embassy personnel may try to locate your student, pass on urgent messages and, consistent with the Privacy Act, report back.

A select group of shoes from the Italian house makes a comeback, for those who are both stylish and nostalgic.
A single-shoulder tunic with a snakeskin belt and over-the-knee boots seems destined for a stroll along the Amalfi Coast.
The Italian fashion house held a private preview of a show of works by Léonardo da Vinci for friends, dignitaries and celebrities last week.

That is to do ANYTHING (enter contests, etc) would require you to be a member? I may be incorrect, but my current understanding is that the only thing that absolutely required you to be a member right now is to be an officer. Of course the non members are still "paying to play" now as they are required to pay a NMS at every event. > > The Directors would like the Council to consider to possibilities of a > > tiered membership format, providing potential notions of how a tiered > > format might work and how new members might be handled under such a > > system. An explanation of they mean by this might be helpful. Are we talking Tier 1 you can go to events, Tier 2 you can enter tourneys and A&S, etc. Tier 3 you can be an officer?

Broken Bells Announce Spring Tour With the Morning Benders
By Tom Breihan on March 31, 2010 at 1:30 p.m. EDT
In the past couple months, Broken Bells, the new band that features Danger Mouse and Shins frontman James Mercer, played their first shows ever, one-offs in L.A., New York, Paris, and London, as well as a few SXSW gigs. Now, the Mercer/Danger Connection is launching its first-ever full-scale tour. The band will spend May and June crossing North America. San Franciscan indie crew the Morning Benders (who just earned themselves a BNM for their new Big Echo) will open.
Before that tour kicks off, the Morning Benders will play a bunch of smaller headlining dates in the U.S. After, they'll play a couple shows in Central Park with the Black Keys. We've got all the dates for both Broken Bells and the Morning Benders below.
Broken Bells Cover Neutral Milk Hotel
By Tom Breihan on February 22, 2010 at 1:10 p.m. EST
UPDATE: The videos have been removed from YouTube.
On Friday, Broken Bells, the new duo of Shins frontman James Mercer and producer Danger Mouse, announced that they'd play their first-ever show that very night at L.A.'s Bootleg Theater. Spin reports that the duo's backing band included former members of Hella and current members of Conor Oberst's Mystic Valley Band.
For the first of two encore songs, Mercer and Danger held it down by themselves, playing a quiet and minimal cover of Neutral Milk Hotel's deathless "In the Aeroplane Over the Sea".
Enterprising YouTube user Foundtrack managed to tape the entire thing (in pretty good quality, no less) and post it on YouTube, which was awful nice of him/her. Below, you can watch that Neutral Milk Hotel cover, via Spin. Meanwhile, you can watch the entire show (which included 10 originals and the band's take on Tommy James and the Shondells' "Crimson and Clover", according to Spin) over on Foundtrack's YouTube channel. Watch that shit quick before some label lackey demands the videos' removal!
Nice light show, guys.
Shins' James Mercer and Danger Mouse Announce First Broken Bells Shows

At this exact moment, the duo have played exactly zero shows. But fast-acting Los Angelenos can witness the band's very first show real, real soon. Tonight, they'll make their onstage debut at L.A.'s Bootleg Theater.
Echo Chamber: James Mercer
By Tom Breihan on January 19, 2010 at 1:15 p.m. EST
"I was getting a little bit exhausted over having so much responsibility over the success of the records and everything, so I wanted to collaborate and see what it was like to work with somebody on an equal footing."
--Â James Mercer, explaining why he's taking a break from the Shins to concentrate on Broken Bells. He says that new Shins material won't surface at least until 2011. (via the Quietus)

James Mercer and Danger Mouse Launch Mysterious Internet Campaign
By Amy Phillips on December 14, 2009 at 3:30 p.m. EST
The Shins' James Mercer and Danger Mouse are sneaky guys. The viral campaign for their collaborative album under the name Broken Bells has kicked off with a series of fun, mysterious clues. Here's what we've got so far:
The Shins' James Mercer and Danger Mouse Team Up for New Band
By Ryan Dombal on September 29, 2009 at 11:00 a.m. EDT
In our interview with Shins frontman James Mercer in May, he teased us with a new project. "Both the label and the person I collaborated with are like, 'We should chill,' so I'm not going to talk about that," he said. Well, Mercer is chilling no longer, apparently.
The Shins, Of Montreal, the Roots on "Yo Gabba Gabba!" Compilation
By Tom Breihan on September 24, 2009 at 9:00 a.m. EDT
The kids' music landscape is pretty bleak for the most part, filled with obnoxiously cute dinky folk music and tinkly Casio lullabies and the Wiggles. So the folks behind the Nickelodeon show "Yo Gabba Gabba!" are doing god's work when they bring deliriously technicolor art-school fantasias like this and this into our living rooms.
As a bonus, the show regularly features appearances from musicians who generally don't have anything to do with the whole rugrat circuit, including the Shins, of Montreal, the Roots, Chromeo, Mark Kozelek, Biz Markie, and I'm From Barcelona. All those folks will soon turn up on the compilation Yo Gabba Gabba! Music Is Awesome!, due October 20 from Filter. Check below for that tracklist. There will also be an iTunes deluxe edition with bonus songs.
Watch Film Trailer Starring Shins' Mercer, Sleater-Kinney's Brownstein
By Tom Breihan on September 23, 2009 at 12:15 p.m. EDT
Rainy beaches! Dogs in cars! People plaintively staring out bus windows! That's right: It's the Some Days Are Better Than Others trailer!
Last year, we alerted you to Some Days, a new feature film from Portland experimental filmmaker Matt McCormick that stars former Sleater-Kinney guitar hero Carrie Brownstein and Shins frontman James Mercer. McCormick described the film as being about "lonely people trying to create their own abstract forms of communication. You could call it a charmingly melancholy look at abandonment."
Today, the movie's website debuted the trailer, which looks very Miranda July-esque. In the film, it seems that Brownstein works at a dog shelter and Mercer works at a supermarket. As previously reported, the film will feature appearances from other Portland folks like Sleater-Kinney's Corin Tucker, the members of YACHT, Corina Repp, and Matt Sheehy, as well as a score from Eluvium's Matthew Cooper.
Check out the trailer and more stills from the film below:

|Chicken Stew with some lively Moroccan flavors, made in the CrockPot! (Photo from Andrea Meyers)
If you're familiar with the cooking of Morocco, you know a tagine is the name of a clay pot used to cook amazing Moroccan stews, as well as the dishes cooked in that type of pot. And although Andrea comments that tagines aren't normally made in an electric slow cooker, I think this Slow Cooker Chicken Tagine with Chickpeas and Root Vegetables from Andrea Meyers is a brilliant idea. There are some fun Moroccan ingredients adding flavor to the chicken, chickpeas, sweet potatoes, carrots, celery root, and new potatoes used in the stew.
I hope you enjoy trying this from-scratch CrockPot recipe! Use this link to get the recipe for Slow Cooker Chicken Tagine with Chickpeas and Root Vegetables from Andrea Meyers.

But there are few questions which need to be answered while studying his approach towards Sufism. Like his motive towards Sufism, his inspirations and his achievements in this field are questionable. But over I would be discussing few of the observations by me. This is not meant to hurt some one's feelings. But this is a sole effort to make things clear for him.
1. His motive towards Sufism carries controversies. Like Sufism is some hidden treasure sort of thing, which no one is either allowed to explain nor discuss in such social masses who lack understanding. How can he be the guy to make things open regarding him in the field of Sufism.
2. He has written his books as his biography. But he has discussed sole Sufism in all of his books. And finally he compels his readers to believe in him via his approach used in his books. A neutral writer always leaves the decision to reader.
3. He has used name of Q U Shahab RA as his mentor. But neither Mumtaz Mufti, nor Ishfaq Ahmed have mentioned him anywhere in their works regarding Sufism. Both of them have been very close to Q U Shahab RA.
Rest all is up to the reader what he feels about his books. What I felt, I have written here. And these questions need to be answered to have credibility about the words of Baba Yahya khan.
Can some one here answer these questions??? I would be grateful to him...

CeBIT Open Source 2011 - Project Presentation PloneBy
During CeBIT 2011 open source projects such as Plone, enterprise content management system for professional use, will have the opportunity to showcase what is currently in active development.
Short and sweet: How would you describe your project in one or two sentences?
Plone is a powerful open source enterprise content management system for professional use in organizations and enterprises. With its large range of features, secure policy management, supporting workflow, accessibilty and powerful tools for system administration Plone is different from other CMS.
When did the project begin?
The first Plone release was in 2001.
How many active members does the project have?
Plone is among the top 2% of all open source projects worldwide, with 340 core developers and more than 300 solution providers in 57 countries.
Why was the project created?
Plone is the most sucessful project ever which was developed for the Zope application server. Zope and Plone are part of the innovative and vibrant Python community.
Why should a CeBIT visitor come to your booth?
Plone is not only a very powerful enterprise content management system. It is a very secure one, used by huge organisations with special security requirements like NASA, CIA and FBI.
Visitors interested in enterprise level content management, document management or knowledge management may not miss the opportunity to meet core developers and community members of Plone during the CeBIT.
Who do you make your software for?
Plone is designed to meet the requirements of small, medium and big enterprises and organisations like universities and research institutes. Plone is fully internationalized and can be used as an internet or intranet cms.
Where do you see your biggest current challenges?
There are no real problems. The development process of Plone is very well organized. The code is owned by the Plone foundation so we don't have to fear any buyout problems. The roadmap for the next two years is defined. And Plone is getting more popular.
If you could hire a full-time project developer now, what problem should he or she be ready to solve?
Plone is a modular system so there is no tough nut to crack. Improvement is achieved by many small incremental changes. To organize this process is a major task done by several members of the community. If the Plone Foundation had more money, it could pay the framework team, which decides about new features, or an employed release manager.
Under which license is the software currently offered?
Plone is distributed under the GNU Public License.

Last night in Cleveland, Ohio the inaugural Alternative Press Music Awards paved the way for the future of alternative music. There were monstrous performances from upcoming bands such as Twenty One Pilots, Alternative hotshots All Time Low & A Day To Remember, and rock legends like Slash(yes, from Guns N' Roses), Joan Jett, and The Misfits. An event like this only has room to grow, meaning that with each year this event will help spotlight this scene and help bring many of its talented bands into mainstream attention(if that is the goal). Just because a band doesn't make it to the Grammys doesn't mean that its not deserving of awards and attention. The awards were voted on by fans and here are the results along with the performances:
Best Vocalist (Presented by Tyler Carter of Issues and Craig Owens of Chiodos)
Best Live Band (Presented by members of Crown The Empire, We Are The In Crowd, & The Word Alive)
Breakthrough Band(Presented by members of Yellowcard)
Best Bassist (Presented by members of I See Stars)
Jeremy Davis (Paramore) Zack Merrick (All Time Low) Ryan Neff (Miss May I) Jaime Preciado (Pierce The Veil) Devin "Ghost" Sola (Motionless In White) Pete Wentz (Fall Out Boy)
Winner: Jaime Preciado (Pierce The Veil)
Best Guitarist (Presented by members of Every Time I Die)
Best Drummer (Presented by Caleb Shomo of Beatooth, Shane Told of Silerstein, and Spencer Chamberlain formerly of Underoath)
Most Dedicated Fans (Presented By Levi Benton of Miss May I and Frankie Palmeri of Emmure)

Rock Icon Award:
Guitar Legend Award:
Live Performances:
Brendon Urie of Panic! At The Disco performing Frank Sinatra w/Ohio Contemporary Youth Orchestra
Falling In Reverse performs "Gangsta's Paradise" with Coolio and Tyler Carter of Issues

Ice T & Body Count
The Misfits
Joan Jett & The Blackhearts feat. Slash
Final performance: Fall Out Boy "The Phoenix"
Well, there you have it! Overall, it was a great music awards show and a promise of something truly great in the years to come. After a few audio/sound engineering problems are fixed, online streaming becomes avaiable and a more accessible channel provides this awards show; then, this will certainly become one powerhouse of an awards show.
