Swedish trumpeter Magnus Broo (Atomic, Ken Vandermark, &c. &c.) in his new group with Torbjorn Zetterberg, Joe Williamson and Hakon Maset Johansen, 8 original creative compositions.
"Magnus Broo is one of the Swedes that need no introduction. He is mostly known around the world from his work with the group Atomic, his own quartet recordings, his work with Ken Vandermark and many others. Magnus Broo is truly unique and this album in another evidence of that fact. For the first time, with his new group containing fellow Swede Torbjörn Zetterberg, Canadian Joe Williamson and Norwegian Håkon Mjåset Johansen. All music is composed by Magnus, and it was recorded in the legendary Atlantis studio (former Metronome Studios, where Abba among others recorded...hehe)."-Moserobie Music
• Show Bio for Magnus Broo
"Magnus Broo (born 27 June 1965 in Husqvarna, Västervik, Småland, Sweden) is a Swedish jazz musician (trumpet) known from own recordings and collaboration with Norwegian jazz musicians like in the band Atomic.
Broo is the son of trumpeter, raised in Västervik, and participated in Visby big band before he attended musical training at North Texas State University (1984-1990). Back in Sweden, he was incorporated into Fredrik Norén Band (1991-1999), and also collaborated in the orchestra of Lennart Åberg.
Broo's expression is a continuation of free jazz and Ornette Coleman's style from the 1960'th, and he is central in the Norwegian/Swedish band Atomic (1999-). He also leads his own 'Magnus Broo Quartet with Torbjörn Gulz on piano, Mattias Welin on bass and Jonas Holgersson on drums. They released the albums Sudden Joy (1999), Levitaton (2001), Sugar Promise(2003) and Pain Body (2008). Moreover, he also collaborates in Fredrik Nordström Quintet."

• Show Bio for Torbjorn Zetterberg
"Torbjörn Zetterberg (born 10 May 1976) is a Swedish jazz musician (double bass) and composer, known from collaborations with Jonas Kullhammar.
Zetterberg attended Södra Latin och Fridhems Folkhögskola in Svalöv but was first recognised as bassist when he studied at Kungliga Musikhögskolan in Stockholm still very young. Here he studied bass under guidance of Jan Adefelt. Soon he joined drummer Fredrik Norén's band together with the saxophonist Jonas Kullhammar. Already at this point one could sense that he would become a prominent figure in the Swedish jazz scene. Now his name is firmly rooted in the vibrant progressive selection as the new jazz generation.
He went through a personal crisis and did not record as a bandleader for more than seven years. Zetterberg was uncomfortable with his career and in 2010 he decided to leave the urban life including his bass, and moved to a Buddhist temple. There he resided for a year and still spends half of his time there in 2016. This existential crisis led to the production of the album Och Den Stora Frågan ("And the Big Question" in Swedish) in 2014. Here he collaborated with well known musicians from his earlier career, like the Portuguese trumpeter Susana Santos Silva and drummer Jon Fält, known from albums with pianist Bobo Stenson's trio. The album is "charged with joyful urgency, shiny optimism and confident flowing energy, despite the doubts and uncertainties that accompany any creative, artistic process", the reporter of All About Jazz stated in 2014."

• Show Bio for Hakon Mjaset Johansen
"Håkon Mjåset Johansen (born 1 August 1975 in Trondheim, Norway) is a Norwegian jazz drummer and composer, known from playing with the Trondheim Jazz Orchestra featuring Chick Corea at Moldejazz 2000, cooperations with Bugge Wesseltoft's New Conceptions of Jazz, Ole Morten Vågan's Motif, Siri Gjære's Cricket Club and the Ola Kvernberg Trio. He has also contributed to releases with Jon Larsen, the Atle Nymo/Frode Nymo Quartet and Jan Garbarek.
Johansen was educated on the Jazz program at Trondheim Musikkonservatorium, where he and fellow students established the band Urban Connection in 1996 and Come Shine (1999-2003). He also plays with a series of other bands and participates on many recordings.
With the Håvard Wiik Trio he has performed with Ole Morten Vågan, and at the Oslo Jazz Festival 2006, he played with Jon Gordon in quartet with Roger Arntzen and Asbjørn Lerheim. He has also been a regular member of Håvard Stubø Quartet."

Vegas is chocked-full of hotel and vacation rental options. Re:Treat is in Henderson, NV. There are quite a few hotels in Henderson within just a few minutes of Central Christian Church. The Las Vegas Strip is approximately 20-30 minutes away depending what part of the Strip the hotel is on. Lake Las Vegas is approximately 25-30 minutes away.
Check out the discount hotel websites like hotels.com to find great deals on hotels that can fit any budget. Make sure to read reviews so that you know what to expect.
For a different experience that will allow you to prepare meals where you are staying, consider renting a place when you come to Re:Treat. Check out airbnb.com for options.
You will definitely want to plan transportation for your trip. To take advantage of the fun and fabulousness that is Las Vegas, you'll want to be able to hop in a car and explore. There are three options:
- Rent a car. With ample free parking and free valet on The Strip, having your own car is a great option.
- Hop in a taxi. Taxis are readily available at the airport and on the Strip.
- Uber. You can Uber your way around Vegas. Uber is not able to do airport pick-ups or drop-offs, but otherwise, they are a great option.

text: Currentfilm.com Review: I started my review of "Step Up 2: The Streets" by saying...I generally dislike these movies. I can appreciate the athleticism and skill involved in the moves shown, but put them in a highlight video (or one of the several dance shows now popping up on TV) - for me, watching underdeveloped characters dance to try to save the rec center or win the big contest or whatever cliche plot is about as exciting as watching paint dry. Still, I'll always give a movie a chance, and while I didn't find "Step Up 2" to be a classic, the picture did at least provide a terrific performance from newcomer Briana Evigan, who had terrific screen presence, athleticism and promise. The movie's plot offered no surprises, but director Jon Chu delivered a number of fluid, well-choreographed dance sequences and a slick look. The combination of Evigan and a heightened visual style did not exactly fare well with critics, but it did draw in the target audience, leading the picture to deliver impressive enough box office returns for not only another film to top off the trilogy, but one that was, as is the growing trend, offered in 3D (the Blu-Ray/DVD are not.) Unfortunately, this picture does not focus on Evigan, but instead focuses on series supporting character Moose (Adam Sevani) and his friend Camille (Alyson Stoner). While Moose has come to college with Camille to study, he's quickly swept back into the world of dancing, and catches the eye of Luke (Rick Malambri), a documentary filmmaker who also heads a group of dancers. What follows is the expected - in this era, rather than having to save the rec center, the group of heroes has to dance to save their apartment from being foreclosed on by the bank. Natalie (Sharni Vinson), who joins the group and sets her sights on Luke, isn't what she initially seems, but it's not much of a surprise that she just may change her tune by the end. The dance numbers are - once again - enormously impressive in terms of both energy/intensity and athleticism. Director Jon Chu also returns, bringing his caffeinated visual style to the dance sequences and elsewhere. Additionally, the third film does suffer from Evigan not returning, as while her performance in the second film was not going to win awards (although maybe MTV awards), it nevertheless was a pretty solid core for the picture. The focus in the third film is shuffled around and while the performances are fun - they aren't great, but the actors at least seem like they're having a good time - the film could use a stronger core and it's too bad that Evigan didn't return. Overall, "Step Up 3" pulls together a formulaic story, but does offer the target audience a new set of dance sequences. I'll say that I liked the second film a bit better than this picture, but I'll guess the target audience for this third film will be pleased. The DVD VIDEO: "Step Up 3" is presented by Touchstone in 1.85:1 (1080P/AVC). The DVD presentation did look quite good, and I thought it was certainly above-average for a recent theatrical release. However, as good as that presentation looked, the Blu-Ray presentation is, quite literally, a few steps further up. Sharpness and detail were often very impressive, as the picture generally showed off excellent definition and pleasing depth to the image. Some minor grain is seen on occasion, but otherwise, there were no noticable concerns to the presentation. Colors remained subdued on the street scenes, but some scenes do sport brighter, richer colors that are well-saturated and never smeary. Overall, this was an excellent presentation all-around. SOUND: "Step Up 3" is presented in DTS-HD 7.1. The soundtrack flares up during the dance scenes, where the rears kick in with the dance music and ambience. Otherwise, as one might expect, this is a forward-heavy sound presentation that largely focuses on dialogue. Audio quality was fine, with crisp dialogue and rich, punchy music that has some very deep bass behind it. EXTRAS: 8 music videos, "extra moves" feature, deleted scenes with introductions, "Born From a Boombox" short film. Final Thoughts: I thought "Step Up 3" was a bit of a step down from the second film, but this is really a case of being in the target audience or not - I'm sure those in the target audience who liked the second film will find much of the same to like here. The Blu-Ray offers solid audio/video quality, as well as a few minor supplements. Recommended for fans. Film Grade The Film C+ DVD Grades Video B+ Audio: B Extras: C- |

The 21-year-old Baby got the call as a replacement for Damien Traille who has been forced to withdraw from the squad with an ankle injury.
Further tests by the French medical staff revealed that the Biarritz centre would not be fit for next Saturday's match at Lansdowne Road.
Traille had originally been due to take part in Saturday's tsunami benefit match at Twickenham but was forced to withdraw when his right ankle flared up again.
Medical staff believe that his injury is in part due to too much training on an artificial pitch.

Wither, not to be confused with the mob of the same name, is a detrimental Status Effect which impacts a character's Health bar by turning the hearts in the health bar black as they gradually deplete. The effect is temporary and similar to the Poison status effect, except it lasts much longer and will actually kill a character if he/she does not replenish the health bar before it fully drains. If the character regains health while the wither effect is still active, the health will continue to deplete until the effect wears off.

There was more controversy at the Bellagio overnight as the 16-man field for the Doyle Brunson Five Diamond Classic was whittled down to the final six. Faraz Jaka moved to the head of the chip counts but it was Scotty Nguyen who was again the centre of attention.
With 11 players remaining John Juanda made an all in move from the button. The former WSOPE Main Event winner only made a verbal declaration though and didn't push his chips in the middle. The dealer confirmed the all in and the action moved to Chad Batista, clad in iPod and hoodie, in the small blind. Batista asked whether the action was on him and not realising that Juanda had gone all in, did so himself. Scotty Nguyen, noticing Batista's error started laughing. Words were exchanged and the floor was called over, confirming that verbal declarations were binding. Nguyen in the big blind then flipped over pocket aces, which held up to win a massive pot. Nguyen sits in third place in the chip counts behind current leader Faraz Jaka and Danial Alaei. Joining them at a high quality final table will be Shawn Buchanan, Josh Arieh and Steve O'Dwyer. The action resumes at midnight tonight UK time.

Swapnangalil..almost completed
Subscribe to Filmibeat
The shooting of Swapnangalil Haisal Mary, in which Cycle fame Bhama plays the key role of Haisal Mary, the only remaining member of a family entirely wiped out by the Tsunami, is almost completed. The director is George Kithu, who has given us films like Aadharam, Savidham, Indriyam and Suryakireedom.
The plot is about a helpless girl Mary, left orphaned by the Tsunami. Father Puthusserry, a kind-hearted priest, builds a small house for her on church property and gets her a job as a salesgirl in a textile showroom. She lives there with her grandfather Charlie.
But Mary's grandfather, a drunkard, always takes away the money she earns. Mary's only relief is her friends Roy, Solomon and Shalom. She just manages to drag herself on through this rather dull and dreary existence, nursing all kinds of hopes in her heart. And then, all of a sudden, something good happens to this hapless girl!
Thilakan plays Father Puthusserry. The movie also features Jagathy Sreekumar, Manikuttan, Vineeth Kumar, Mukesh, Rashmi Varma, Valsala Menon and Kannur Sreelatha. Produced under the banner of Mangalasserry Films, Swapnangalil Haisal Mary is brought to the theatres by Goodway Film Corporation. Camera is handled by M.D. Sukumarana; music is by Jerson Antony; lyrics are by Gireesh Puthencherry and Fasilal.

It's due in March 2010 Sale Water Park - Dec 7th 2010 Having recently got my Nokia N8 mobile, with its 12 megapixel camera, I am forsaking my trusty Sony Alpha 200 for a while, and concentrating on using the phone's camera. As I will always have this with me, I need to practice with it, to learn all the different settings, and the strengths and weaknesses. Interestingly, as the phone also doubles as a satnav, with totally free maps for anywhere in the world, it can also location tag my photos automatically, which means it is a doddle to put them on the map - although it has got me positioned about 10 yards to the left, right in the lake (but you get the idea)! © All rights reserved Similar posts: slr camera strap peak 7 backup camera make a psp camera outdoor game camera camera lens cup trail camera mounts how do you use a web camera thermal imaging camera 70mm film camera |

I know, I know, I know!
I'm probably the worst blogger in the world, I'm for sure.
But I'm back from what seemed like a long blogging break.
Don't ask me why, I don't know, guess I just didn't feel like it for a while and was
busy doing other things. School has been taking it's toll on me and I try to have a life beside it too.
So far, so good, must I say. I've been working on my planning skills, so deadlines won't hit me on my head ones in a while (they still do, though!)
And I swear, blogging is on my to do list, yes, there's an actual list :)
I'll try to be better in the future, expect a new outfit post from me soon.
The problem with outfit posts these days is the absence of light, it gets dark so fast, and the weekends are mostly filled with nightly outings too.
In the meanwhile, here're a few pictures from the exhibit of Stephen Jones.
You couldn't but just fall in love with all the amazing head pieces!
The picture is an actual proof that I'm alive!
11 comments:
Glad to see you're still with us! The exhibition does look awesome. And don't worry about not blogging lately, I'm just happy that you're back and really looking forward to an outfit post of yours ;)
p.s. glad you liked my Halloween post, I kinda thought you would :) Thank you!!

I was recommended this product by a naturopath. I noticed a big difference over 3 months with my all round health. I ran out of it and haven't been taking it and need to get it again desperately as I really felt it made a difference to feeling in control of my day.

This has given me an 'even keel' feeling for the day - those anxious rushes have gone, no heart pounding in the throat sensation. I take two in the morning as per naturopath instructions, and cruise my way through the day!

What I love about this product is it seems to work pretty fast. Has helped my anxiety hugely. I have been taking 4 day (as suggested by my health care professional) I wouldn't know what I would do without them. Also 100 tabs is a great size to buy.

I had a year on antidepressants to try and get my anxiety under control, what a horrible year that was. I wish I had known about this before I had started taking those horrid things. I HIGHLY recommend this to anyone who suffers stress or anxiety. 7 years later and I still can't recommend it enough!

I was recommended Nutri-calm to help manage my stress level in a tense environment. That was four years ago and it's still doing good things. Highly recommended

My husband has a big problems sleeping at night and after trying nearly every herbal remedy under the sun we've finally found one that works (for both of us), thanks to a friend's naturopathic doctor. Nutri-Calm gives him a completely dreamless night and although I sleep relatively well I take Nutri-calm before a big golf tournament. Although the dosage says take one table he takes two half an hour before bedtime when needed.

Share another experience before you go.we had coffee here it was very good coffee and the textured milk - very large mug - just what needed
Food was decent, had my favourite Thai dish Chicken with garlic and pepper which was cooked nice and tasty with sticky rice, drinks were cheap. All told around 150 THB / £3, lacked aircon but i suppose only a tourist would be picky about that :-)
Coffee@8 is like a private breakfast dining hall for me. Have been patronising it since 10 years ago when I first came to Bangkok. I am usually not the type of person who will opt for hotel buffet breakfast. Used to stay at Citadines soi 8 in the past and this little coffee outlet is great for dinner. Affordable price... More
We'd discovered Coffee@8 on a previous visit to Bangkok and went several times as we really liked it. On this occasion we travelled across town to Soi 8 off Sukhumvit for lunch and it was as good as ever. The laab moo was tasty and quite spicy I love this Northern Thai dish which was served with raw cabbage and... More
The food here is decent and the Thai food is definitely better than the Western food (but it's Thailand so that makes sense). Coffee is excellent. The place really comes into its own at night. Beer is very reasonably priced (in fact it's downright cheap for this area) and the cocktails are top class. You can watch a master at... More
In the evening this place really shines! With awesome service and drinks for 100 B (fair enough price). You also always get nice coated peanuts refilled all the time for free. Was there one night and me and my GF orderen specials both of us and the bartender smiled the next day and repeated both our special drinks without help.... More
I have been living in Thailand for one year now, so I have tried many different cafes and restaurants in Bangkok. Today we wanted to have a nice breakfast/lunch, one that wasn't Thai style for a change. This one seemed to fit what we had in mind in passing. In seeing the menu, the prices were higher than we are... More
It's an okay place with food, coffee and a few cookies. Pricing is good and location is very good. Friendly staff
This is the second time my husband and I have been here. We didn't eat here as we already had dinner on both occasions, however we went back tonight because the staff are so lovely. Definitely worth a visit.
We happened across this unassuming place whilst looking for lunch and were delighted. Rather than just a coffee shop we got served amazing and authentic Thai food of a very high quality. it was my first ever Laab Woonsen which was tasty, delicious and spicy. Best of all though was my partners fried morning glory with prawns - a fabulous... More

Indigenous People: Oceania
The Peopling of Oceania The region of Oceania is comprised of Australia, Micronesia, Melanesia, and Polynesia. The original inhabitants of this vast area included Aborigines, Melanesians, and Austronesians. –First arrived from Southeast Asia about 60,000 years ago. –The various forms of social organization and isolation gave rise to a large diversity of languages and customs among indigenous groups in the region.
Colonization of Oceania Europeans first contacted this area in 1521, when the Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan landed on the Micronesian island of Guam (now a US colony) The region was officially divided among colonial powers in the early 19 th century. –The colonial powers included Japan, France, Britain, the US, and Germany
Colonization Similarly to other experiences around the world, colonial powers emphasized extractive enterprises like export agriculture and mining. –Indigenous people were often displaced from their land and were exposed to exotic diseases for which they had no immunity. –Indigenous people refer to the colonial experience as "The Fatal Impact"
Rewriting regional history Oral traditions in the region can trace indigenous history as far back as their initial migration to Oceania. –Despite this amazing historical narrative, Europeans viewed Indigenous people as a people without history. –The Making of Australia: An Introductory History 1917: "When people talk about the 'history of Australia' they mean the history of the white people who have lived in Australia. There is good reason why we should not stretch the term to make it include the history of the dark-skinned wandering tribes who hurled boomerangs and ate snakes in their native land for long ages before the arrival of the first intruders from Europe…for they have nothing that can be called history…When the white man came among them, he found them living just as their fathers and grandfathers and remote ancestors had lived before them…Change and progress are the stuff of which history is made."
The noble savage A contrasting view of indigenous people that survives today: –Does civilization actually improve the quality of human life? –Negative affects of European colonialism coupled with local experiences with the industrial revolution drew into question the benefits of civilization. –From a romanticists perspective "primitive" people lived a fuller more egalitarian life. They were untouched by the corrupting influence of civilization and industrialization.
The Lost/stolen Generation In Australia, Aboriginal people were seen to both a people without history and a people without a future. Driven by a belief that Aboriginal people would soon die out, the Australian government began a process of taking aboriginal people from their families and placing them in European homes and foster care. –This process began in 1885 and continued all the way to the 1970s. –These children are called the lost generation(s) because they were forcibly separated from their families and heritage.
Nancy De Vries: The Stolen Generation "I think it is important that people realize that these kids were taken from their families, separated from their culture, their identity, had to put up with dreadful, dreadful things. How many have survived sane I don't know, and I realize many of us have died of alcohol. I was lucky, as I grew up, that alcohol never agreed with me. Instead of the slow death of alcohol, I tried the quick death of pills and hanging. I always tell people I cut my wrists here cutting a jam tin, because it is very embarrassing admitting that I tried to commit suicide. I tried to kill myself. I was lonely. I was unhappy. I wanted my mother, I wanted my identity, I felt cheated, I wanted to be me" – Nancy de Vries was taken from her birth mother as a 15-month-old baby. She lived in 22 places before she was 18 years old. It was a shameful 53 years before she was reunited with her mother. Nancy de Vries was the human face of past government policies of dispossession.
Indigenous people and citizenship rights Until 1993 the Australian government viewed Aboriginal people to have no land rights because within their culture they had "no fixed abode, fields or flocks, nor internal hierarchical differentiation" –This belief translated into the displacement of Aboriginal people from their land to make room for European settlement. Into the 1960s Aborigines had extremely limited citizenship rights (like the right to vote) and the government maintained an extremely paternalistic attitude toward Aborigines, like making it illegal for them to consume alcohol.
Changing perspectives on what it means to be an indigenous person Indigenous people: "Those which, having a historical continuity with pre-invasion and pre-colonial societies that developed on their territories, consider themselves distinct from other sectors of the societies now prevailing in those territories, or parts of them. They form at present non-dominant sectors of society and are determined to preserve, develop and transmit to future generations their ancestral territories, cultural patterns and institutions" (UN subcommittee on Prevention of Discrimination and Protection of Minorities) –1993- the first International Year of the World's Indigenous People –1994-2004- First International Decade of the World's Indigenous People Between 1991 and 1996 the number of people in Australia claiming to be Aborigine rose by 33 percent. –This change reflects broader changes in attitudes about being indigenous. –People began to recognize that colonial attitudes were largely responsible for the low social standing and impoverishment of Aboriginal people. Additionally, European and Aboriginal interaction and cohabitation became more common.
A New Era?: The resurgence of Hard Paternalism Earlier this year a report was issued on the status of 60 Aboriginal Settlement Camps in Northern Territory Australia –The report found that alcohol, drugs, pornography, and unemployment were responsible for high levels of child abuse, child pornography, and a break- down of Aboriginal culture. On June 21 st 2007, Prime Minister John Howard labeled this a "national emergency" and has sent police and soldiers into Aboriginal settlement camps. –They are to enforce a ban on alcohol and pornography, order compulsory health checks on children under 16, and stop welfare payments to parents whose children failed to attend school In what ways does this policy reflect a continuity of racist attitudes toward Aboriginal people? What does the interpretation of problems in the camps suggest about white Australians view of Australian history?

Hey guys, I ordered this game a few hours ago from the square enix website, the PC digital download version, and I got my order email with a bunch of steps, yet there are no registration codes or anything for early access, nor is there a link to even download the client! Did anyone else have this problem? I feel like I'm missing something. I did not play in the closed beta, but I did participate in the open beta last weekend! Please help! Thank you.
Same thing just happened to me bro. I ordered 2 copies and go no keys. My friends ordered theirs one at a time and it worked. May be a bug with multiple copies. Did you order only one?
yea i only ordered one, then maybe after an hour of trying stuff out I canceled the order (not even sure if that worked, since I used my brother's card for this), and then ordered again
Yeah man I used my girlfriends card and it shows the money went through but no keys. I emailed their support team. I'll let you know if they respond. Square has always had some shitty convoluted process to get on their games. It's rather annoying. I'm off to bed. I'll check it in the morning. I'm not losing sleep over these retards.
Same...got the confirmation email but no code. Seriously...what the hell? 5 minutes into ordering and trying to DL the game and there is already a problem that halts all progress?
That's why I always pre-order my games way ahead of time at an actual store. They gave me my early access code like 2 months ago.
I prefer to test the game (open beta) and gather as much information as possible before considering if I want to pre-order However, it's still irrelevant to why they fail to send out confirmation mails with the early access / pre-order codes or at the very least announce something on their website of why these are delayed. They are leaving many people in the dark right now that paid for the game.
Any other thoughts? I cant even call since they are only open M-F...so far no response to my ticket email.
Edit: The ticket I submitted around 30 hours ago finally came through and I received a 20 digit code, redeemed it and now able to play. EU Support Centre found here http://support.eu.square-enix.com/main.php?id=903&la=2
Got an email this morning saying they received my ticket and would contact me within 48 hours. Another one of my friends just ordered his and he still hasn't got an email. He can log in to his account and see the order is there but no order number or anything. My brother has been kicked off all day and so has another friend of mine. I'm sure their servers are probably on fire right about now with all the attention it's getting. This is most likely the reason for the delays. They really should have expected a pretty large response putting it out on 2 platforms and from beta trending. It's almost like they never did a stress test. I know I'll get my keys but my main concern is if the servers are hammered now then what happens on Tuesday when it is actually released to the rest of the public? Crunch time for Square techs...
I ordered last night from the Square-Enix store. I got the same email, which had no key. Tried emailing Digital River, and got no response. I ended up cancelling the pre-order, and got it from Amazon instead. Had my key in about five minutes, plus I got some bonus cash for use on Amazon on top of it all. Now if I could just find a server that isn't full...
I got the same issue I preordered it today and received no email whatsoever with an activation code. How did you cancel your preorder?
I bought a pre order of the Collectors Edition digital download off the SE site and never got an email. I basically don't know how to download the client, how to play the game, register codes, nothin. It's been a few hours. I'm also a legacy member and just wanted the preorder bonuses... Where do I download the client just to play as a legacy member?
Can I only buy the digital PS3 version on Amazon? I mean, I can't buy the physical one because of taxes in my country. If they send it to my house, my bill will rise to about $100,00. So, do you think I should buy it on Amazon or order from SE store?

The Whole Language Or Phonics Approach English Language Essay
Published: Last Edited:
This essay has been submitted by a student. This is not an example of the work written by our professional essay writers.
Critically analyse and discuss the benefits and shortcomings in teaching reading through a phonics approach in comparison to a whole language methodology. What are your views about each approach? Support your arguments with references from related literature.
Teaching students to read is a vital educational aim. Reading gives opportunities and opens up new worlds. Learning to read, will enable students gain new knowledge, enjoy texts, and do everyday life things. The phonics and the whole language approaches are two main methods to reading, a debate that still rages among educators, parents, and experts. Which approach to teaching reading works best?
Whole language approach
Teachers using the whole language approach are expected to provide rich environment texts for students combined with speaking, listening, reading and writing. This approach emphasise the meaning of texts over the sounds of letter and phonics instruction. Krammer and Holland found out that the whole language approach is considered a 'top down' approach meaning the reader use his prior knowledge to interpret and construct his personal meaning of the text he is reading. In my opinion I think that this approach provides a better understanding of the text and a more interesting and creative approach to reading but it may come at the expense of accuracy and correctness.
Phonics approach
The phonics approach has five key elements to teaching. These are:
Learning the letter sounds
Learning letter formation
Identifying sounds in words
Spelling the tricky words (Jolly Phonics: Lloyd, S.)
Kelly believes that good phonic skills will help students become better readers. It provides a secure grasp of the essential sound and spelling patterns that words are composed of. There are 44 key phonemes in the English language. "Some of these are single alphabet sounds such as s-a-t-p-i-n, but others may be combinations of letters like sh, ck or ie." (Kelly, 2009)
Now, I will discuss the benefits and drawbacks in teaching reading through a phonics approach in comparison to a whole language methodology.
Benefits in teaching reading through a phonics approach
Using the phonics approach to reading helps the reader to build better the pronunciation and word recognition (Krammer and Holland). When an individual starts to pronounce words correctly, it also starts to build confidence to speak up more often (English for Life, 2008). Improved decoding success creates a secure reader. "Facility and ease in identifying polysyllabic words, and in inferring their meanings from a knowledge of prefixes, suffixes, and roots, help students with comprehension" (Chall, J. & Popp, H.).
"Teaching phonics can help students develop the skills to read smoothly and accurately. When faced with a new word, a student will have an arsenal of tools with which to puzzle it out and call it by name--recognizing familiar letter combinations and accessing their recollection of similar words. Students who are secure in their ability to figure out unfamiliar words are more eager to read new and longer texts." (Matthews, 2010) Readers cannot rely only on the use of context and picture clues. Wiley Blevins stated that students need to have a repertoire of strategies to draw on to become skilled, fluent readers.
Phonics approach helps with the spelling far more than the memorisation and guess work of the whole language approach (Krammer and Holland). A person will be able to pronounce and spell correctly when he hears words. For this reason, phonics will help him improve his reading and writing skills (English for Life, 2008).
Drawbacks in teaching reading through a phonics approach
Although the phonics approach might work for some students, it may not work equally well for others. This is due to diverse individual learning abilities. For example:
Students with hearing challenges may find it difficult to connect sounds and letter groups.
Students with dyslexia often reverse groups of letters, causing confusion with phonetic learning.
Besides that, some children learn to read more easily using other methods. For instance, the whole language approach teaches children to recognise entire words, rather than individual sounds (Enne, V.).
I agree with Krammer and Holland that when it comes to reading using the phonics approach a child may have difficulty understanding the full meaning of a text, due to the constant breaking down of words into parts. This will also bring boredom; children would not be able to enjoy the text contrary to the whole language approach. Fleury declares that "phonics does not connect the children with literature, as the whole language approach does. The connection to literature helps to make reading more interesting."
It is true that phonics helps children to sound out many different words but there are other words that do not follow simple phonetic rules. "These words, called outlaw words, will still need to be memorised. Nearly 50 percent of all English words are outlaw words." (Available from: http://www.ehow.com/list_6856037_drawbacks-teaching-phonics_.html)
Should you categorise students and push one teaching method?
In my opinion I think that I balanced approach should be used in teaching reading. The National Reading Panel determined that "phonics instruction is only one part of a complete reading program for beginning readers. Effective beginning reading programs should also emphasize reading fluency, vocabulary development, and text comprehension."
(Available from: www.univo.edu.sv:8081/tesis/019961/019961_Cap2.pdf)
In 1996, Honig, stated that a balanced approach is needed to teach reading. He described it as "an approach that combines the language and literature-rich activities associated with whole language activities aimed at enhancing meaning, understanding, and the love of language with explicit teaching skills as needed to develop fluency associated with proficient readers."
In the article 'Curriculum: Whole Language and Phonics: Can They Work Together?' written by Cromwell, S. (1997) says that "Supporters of the whole language approach think children's literature, writing activities, and communication activities can be used across the curriculum to teach reading; backers of phonics instruction insist that a direct, sequential mode of teaching enables students to master reading in an organised way".
There is an ongoing debate on which is the best way to teach a child how to read. Phonics helps children to pronounce better and recognise the words. It helps them far more than memory and guess work used in the whole language approach. Formulas learned in phonics can be applied repeatedly. On the other hand, using the whole language approach helps children to understand better different types of texts. It is much more interesting and creative to reading rather than the phonics' approach. Whole language approach emphasises on meaning and comprehension. Children memorise large numbers of sight words and learn to read by reading.
I do not have enough experience but I can speak from my 3 years of teaching practice. I believe that both approaches must be used hence using a balanced reading approach. Most children learn through an amalgamation of skills. Each method offers different strategies. One has to remove the idea of "one size fits all" and keep in mind that every child is different. There is no one best method to teach children.
Educationworld.com says that "Many combinations and permutations are necessary to provide an optimal learning environment for an entire class of readers"
A teacher must be careful when teaching reading keeping in mind the different abilities of his students and focusing on literature and fun. After all, it is the teacher who makes the difference in the learning process. I believe that a teacher should provide time to read to his students often, choral read with them and also give them time to read both alone and in pairs.
I remember that when I used to teach phonics through word games, to year 2 students, it used to work. Students where learning by having fun. Spending only a brief time each day on phonics and doing no more than one worksheet daily I eliminated boredom. It is important to try other reading approaches for students who are not able to learn phonics easily. Through research, I found out that recorded books or story writing might help.
I make it a point that in my classroom I have a library. Unfortunately I have been in some schools where school libraries are not available. Students who have social problems how can they be exposed to literacy? It is highly important to expose children to books. It is important to have books in classroom so that students can browse, read and discuss them. Krammer and Holland state that when using a balanced reading approach, a teacher should provide as much structure as possible and some step-by-step skill work, especially for analytic students, while emphasising literature and fun. Also, a teacher should provide sufficient tools for decoding words, using small amounts of direct instruction in phonics for auditory and analytic learners. Tape-recording phonics lessons will help students to work independently to improve their skills.
Visual learners tend to benefit from the whole language approach while auditory learners rely more on phonics since they hear the sound of letters and identify words. A balanced reading approach will probably be most beneficial!
Finally I conclude using a balanced approach to teach reading will probably be most beneficial.
IAE (2003) discovered that both research and classroom practices support the use of a balanced approach in instruction. The motive for this is because reading depends on efficient word recognition and comprehension. I agree that therefore instruction should develop reading skills and strategies, as well as build on the learners' knowledge through the use of authentic texts. (Bernhardt, 1991; Bernhardt, 2000; Hulstijn, 1991; Kamil, Mosenthal & Pearson, 2000; Snow Burns & Griffin, 1998)

Searching For Meaning Behind Our Work
Don't worry about the level of individual prominence you have achieved; worry about the individuals you have helped become better people.- Why Great Leaders Inspire Others (Inc.com)
I believe in coaches and I believe in coaching.I believe that we have the power to equip young people with confidence and belief in themselves.Moreover, I believe that my job (and yours too, Coach) is meaningful.
Our athletes, especially collegiate athletes because they're closer to the "real world", want to know that their life's work can have meaning beyond just a paycheck.Teachers, peace corps volunteers, and religious clergy aren't the only folks who can make a difference in the world.Engineers, lawyers, secretaries, and yes, coaches can have meaningful jobs...as long as we're intentional about it.
So how can a coach-whose successes and failures are broadcast on television, posted on the internet, tweeted on Twitter, and updated on everyone's Facebook status-focus on finding meaning beyond the wins and losses?
Sometimes folks will say, imagine what you'd want your eulogy to say and live your life accordingly.Since I don't want to be morbid, I'll say we should live our life for our retirement party.If our families, co-workers, former and current athletes, and opposing coaches got together to celebrate our coaching career, what would be want them to say about us?
What will folks say about me when I finally hang up my whistle?
Family.I'd want my family to say they respected my hard work and the love I have for my sport and my players.Some of the coaches I know have older kids who've gone into the coaching field.I'd love for my kids to want to coach one day!I hope they'll say they had just as much fun on the coaching ride as I've had.
Co-workers.I'd hope my co-workers would say that I was a fun person to be around.Why fun?We spend way too much time in the office to be grumpy all the time!I also hope they'd say that I was willing to work for the common good of the department, not just my own program.
Athletes.At my coaching convention this year, they had a panel of some of the winningest coaches in volleyball.To a person, they all talked about how their most cherished and valued memories aren't the big wins, but the relationships they'd built with their players.I'm sure we all want our athletes to know how much we care about them...on and off the court.
Opposing coaches.I hope they'd say my teams were hard outs, that they knew they had to bring their A game to compete with us.I'd want them to say that as much as they wanted to beat my teams, they respected how well prepared and skilled my players were.I'd want them to think that having me in the conference made it better, not worse.
What do you want said at your retirement party?

Tuesday, November 12, 2002
Quiet and brief, Monday's Veterans Day observance in Hood River lacked the awaited jet flyover but was grounded in reverence and respect.
More than 200 people, ranging from veterans with canes to six-year-old Cub Scouts, stood or sat at Overlook Memorial Park as the community paid its respects to America's veterans.
As pastor Michael Harrington said in his invocation, "Never forget the sacrifices that were made so we can enjoy this freedom of ours."
Guest speaker RaeLynn Gill, a "Marine Mom," called on the crowd to learn about the sacrifices that went into the founding of the American republic, and to remember the dedication that soldiers give from the day they start training.
Her son, Jesse, 20, last summer completed basic training in what she called "the toughest boot camp in the US. Armed Forces." He is currently a student at Oregon State University.
"Those soldiers are protecting the freedoms and civil rights they're giving up while doing the training," Gill, who is a reporter for the Hood River News. "They do so in the same spirit of sacrifice that created the greatest country on earth."
Gill said, "Today my heart goes out to the other mothers and fathers of men and women in military service. As a Marine Mom I know my son is ready to be called upon to give his life to protect our freedoms." Gill also has a son, Luke, 19, who is a student at Eastern Washington State University.
Gill noted that 1.4 million people have died in military service since the War of Independence.
"We need to never forget those ultimate sacrifices that have been made by those men and women and their families," she said.
Gill recounted sending her son off to camp with a bag of toiletries and $20 and nothing else, and then rejoicing as well as worrying over letters home.
"I particularly looked forward to the letters home," she said. "It brought tears to my eyes to read those letters," as Jesse recounted the physical and emotional rigors of boot camp.
"Please remember the heroes and the fellow soldiers who loved this nation by showing their patriotism with active service," she said.
"Whether or not you agree with the (government's) policies, the people in the military service need our respect," Gill said, to applause from the crowd.
"It's easy to engage in a political discussion in the warmth of your home over a hot cup of coffee," she went on. "But remember it's the men and women of the armed services that have given you that freedom to sit there and know you're protected."
"We need to be sure we thank (the veterans) who are here today. Remember the heroes — the people whose names are inscribed on the post behind me," Gill said, pointing to the memorial stone with the names of Hood River County's military fallen.
"Walk away knowing that (members of the military) start their sacrifice on your behalf from day one," she said.
Matt Ihle of Hood River brought his two sons, Luke, 8, and David, 4, to hear such a message.
"I think it's imporant that they understand that their privileges have been bought with a price," Ihle said.
Luke said, "I thought the speeches were cool — especially the one about boot camps."
Veterans Harvey Crapper and Jerry Willis both praised the service at Overlook Park.
"I thought it was a very good service. And it was a good sized crowd," said Crapper, a veteran of the Coast Guard in War II, former Hood River Legion post commander, and 57-year member of the post.
Willis, who described his military service as "on the edge of 'Nam and just before it," served in the Navy in the Caribbean as an electrician's mate during the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis. Willis was aboard a vessel that helped escort Soviet ships carrying missiles out of Cuba.
"It was almost a war. You didn't know what would happoen next," he said.

Parkdale third graders sing "12 Disaster Days of Christmas"
Welcome to your sing-able Christmas gift list. What follows is an emergency rendition of "12 Days of Christmas" – for outfitting your home or car in case of snow storm, earthquake, flood or other emergency. Read it as a simple list, or sing it to the tune of "12 Days" – you know, as in " … and a partridge in a pear tree…" Not to make light of it, but the song is a familiar framework for a set of gift ideas that you could consider gathering together, even if the recipient already owns items such as a bunch of coats, tire chains and flashlights. Stores throughout the Gorge are stocked up on all these items. Buying all 12 days might be prohibitive, but here are three ideas for checking any of the dozen off your list (notations follow, 1-12.) The gift items needed to stay warm, dry and safe are also coded to suggest items in your abode (A) in your car (C) or both (B). 12 Gallons of Water (A) 11 Family meals (B) 10 Cans of propane (A) 9 Hygiene bags (B) 8 Packs of batteries (A) 7 Spare coats (B) 6 Bright red flares (C) 5 Cozy blankets (B) 4 Tire chains (C) 3 Flashlights (B) 2 cell phone chargers (B) 1 And a crush-proof first aid kit (B) Price ranges? Here's a few quotes for days Three, Two, Four and Nine: n A family gift of flashlights (three will run $15-30, Hood River Supply, Tum-A-Lum) n Cell phone chargers (two will run $30-60) n Tire chains (basic set, $30, Les Schwab, returnable if unused for the winter) n Family meals ($100 or so should cover the basics for three or four reasonably well-fed days) n The home kit should be kept in a handy place near an exit, and remember that water needs to be replenished every few months. If you have a solid first aid kit already, switch out the gift idea with "and-a-sto-o-u-t- tub-for it-all …" Otherwise, it's a case of assembling your home or car kits and making sure all members of the family know what the resources are and how to use them (ie flares and propane). Emergency situations are at worst life-threatening, at best deeply uncomfortable if you and your family are left without power for an extended period, or traveling and find yourself in a situation where you need to wait out a storm, lengthy traffic delay, or other crisis. Notes on the 12 gift ideas: 12 – Gallons of water: that's one per person in a four-member family to last for three days, the recommended minimum to be prepared for utility outages. 11 – Easy-open packaged goods, energy bars, dried food and nuts are good things to include for nutrition. Think of what your family of four needs for three days to stay fortified and hydrated (see number 12). Can-opener also recommended 10 – If you have a propane camping stove, keep extra fuel handy. 9 – Hygiene bags: put packaged moistened towelettes, toilet paper, and plastic ties in large garbage bags (for personal sanitation) Resource list courtesy of Hood River County Emergency Management, Barbara Ayers, manager/ 541-386-1213. The county also reminds residents to Get a Kit, Make A Plan to connect your family if separated, and Stay Informed. See www.co.hood-river.or.us to opt-in for citizen alerts. Enlarge

The cooler months of the year are approaching and that puts a person in a different type of mindset. It makes me think about the times when it's not so bad to stay indoors and enjoy the freedom to express yourself anyway you like. Whether it's walking around in your house shoes or barefoot with a cup of coffee or tea, it's the small things that can make a person's day.
In past centuries letter writing was considered a major art form. Not just the actual act of writing, but also having someone special on your mind. It could be said that this type of communication is a lost art form, but there are still people who are willing to take the time out or their day to think about someone else. I'm one of those people and at the same time I'm looking for a woman who can appreciate a man really interested in finding out who she is as a person and sharing day to day moments.
I have many interests which include writing novels, traveling, horseback riding, and breeding German Rottweilers. I also have a thing for collecting different kinds of tribal masks from different cultures.
I love a woman in high heels , there's just something about a woman in pumps that makes me appreciate all the blessings God has given us. I like women of all shapes and sizes. I don't really have a particular type. I'm open to whoever I have a mental and physical attraction for. I'm a very easy going person.
I haven't met anyone new in a couple of years, so my mind is craving for interaction with a woman, with the possibility that our connection could grow into something more. If I've captured your attention in any kind of way, please contact me at your earliest convenience.
