We really enjoyed our stay at the TownPlace by Marriott. Our room was cozy with a quaint view of a lake. We especially liked the idea of being able to... prepare our breakfast in our room; it was very convenient and cost effective and we were able to utilize the "take and go" breakfast to add to our breakfast meals. It was also great having all the kitchen ammenities like pots and pans, dishes, utensils, dish detergent, and of course the stove and refrigerator. All the employees we encountered were pleasant, friendly, and professional...from check-in to check-out. If I had to put our visit into one word, I'd say it was exceptional...we look forward to visiting another Townplace by Marriott. Thank you for making us feel at home! بواسطة Michelle B. من Florida بتاريخ 2010/11/10

I got the brandy leather and I like this shoe a lot. It fits true to size and is pretty comfortable. The color is a great nude so it makes your legs look long and will work great with many different outfits. I'm sure I'll use them time and again this summer.

Loved this shoe! Wanted to keep this shoe! But It was just too tall for me...just trying the pair on I could feel my front muscles on my foot tightening under the extreme heel height. I was scared that I would stumble and break something so I sent them back.

This is the first pair of Naya shoes that I've ever ordered. I was looking for a comfy pair of nude shoes for summer. When they arrived I was really surprised by how lightweight they were. For this size heel I expected them to be heavy but they weighed next to nothing, very nice! The brandy color is true to how it looked on my computer and the overall appearance of the shoe was great quality. Unfortunately these just didn't fit me right. The two problems I experienced: the strap behind the anklet sat too low on my narrow heel making it feel loose, even with them buckled tightly in front. Also, the front portion of the shoe made my toes feel super squished. I might have kept them if the front portion of the shoe was angled different.

Megan Coleman anchors the 5:00p, 5:30p, and 6:00p newcasts on WSTM/NBC and serves as News Content Manager for the CNY Central media group.
Family, friends and community members came together on Thursday to say goodbye to a Fort Drum soldier.
Calling hours were held from 1-5 p.m. at St. Joseph the Worker Church in Liverpool for Army Chief Warrant Officer Brad Gaudet.
"We've hunted together--his father in law and I, and his uncle," said Al Capria of Liverpool. "I feel you should come (out)."
"We're going to wrap our arms around them--not in the days and weeks to come--but in the months and years to come," said Lt. Col. Erick Sweet of the 10th Combat Division.
Gaudet's body arrived in Central New York at Hancock Airport in Syracuse around 10:30 Wednesday morning.
A handful of people lined the streets to watch the body driven to The Maurer Funeral Home in Liverpool. The body will stay there until tomorrow when there will be calling hours at St. Joseph the Worker Church.
People we spoke with say Gaudet's death should remind everyone of the harsh reality of war. "I think he needs to be honored for all the good that he's done, " says Sharon Carrow, of Liverpool.
Since the news of his death, the Liverpool community has stepped up for the family. Some local businesses have provided food while Elmcrest Elementary School has set up a memorial fund for Gaudet's infant daughter, Addyson. To donate, make checks payable to:
Elmcrest Elementary PTO350 Woodspath Road Liverpool, New York 13090
Be sure to note "Addy's Fund".
Original story:
The remains of a soldier killed in Afghanistan will return to Central New York this morning.
The body of Army Chief Warrant Officer Bradley Gaudet is scheduled to arrive at the Air National Guard base at Hancock Airport at 10:10 a.m. A procession of police cars and a military honor guard will then escort Gaudet's body to Maurer Funeral home in the Village of Liverpool. Gaudet's wife Ginny is from Liverpool, and her parents Ed and Judy Van Marter still live there.
On Thursday, family, friends and community members will come together to honor Gaudet's life.
Calling hours will be held from 1:00 - 5:00 p.m. Thursday at St. Joseph the Worker Church in Liverpool, followed by a prayer service and short video from soldiers in Afghanistan. The burial will take place in Texas, where Gaudet grew up.
Gaudet died June 5th when his OH-58 Kiowa helicopter crashed in Khost province. He was assigned to the 1st Battalion, 10th Aviation Regiment of the 10th Mountain Division. White was from Fort Collins, Colorado.
He made it home last month in time for the birth of his daughter, Addyson Elizabeth, who was born at Crouse Hospital. Gaudet was on his third tour of duty when he was killed.

USDA's 'Meatless Mondays' slip-up angers cattle industry
By William Pack | July 27, 2012 | Updated: July 27, 2012 8:27pm
The U.S. Department of Agriculture is wiping egg off its face after encouraging employees in an internal newsletter to take a stand for the environment by not putting meat in their mouths on Mondays.
It was viewed by one beef producers' organization, congressional leaders and Texas Agriculture Commissioner Todd Staples as an outrageous statement from a department whose mission is to promote agricultural production.
"Talk about a slap in the face," Staples said in a blog. "At a time when historical droughts are threatening the livelihoods of our beef producers and diminishing our food supply, the last thing we need is a USDA that adds insult to injury. Shame on you, USDA. You deserve all the bull you get."
The USDA has broad responsibilities aimed at strengthening agricultural markets and rural communities, improving public health and nutrition, enhancing food safety and protecting public and private lands.
USDA officials made the meatless recommendation Monday in a publication titled "Greening Headquarters Update."
"One simple way to reduce your environmental impact while dining at our cafeterias is to participate in the 'Meatless Monday' initiative," said the newsletter item.
"While a vegetarian diet could have a beneficial impact on a person's health and the environment, many people are not ready to make that commitment," the document continues. "Because Meatless Monday involves only one day a week, it is a small change that could produce big results."
The USDA distanced itself from the report later in the week, and issued a statement saying that the agency did not endorse Meatless Monday.
The newsletter on the USDA website was posted without proper clearance, it said, and had been removed.
The agency did not make a further statement.
'Dangerous claims'
Among those who asked Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack to clarify his department's stance toward meat consumption was U.S. Sen. Jerry Moran, R-Kan. He said in a news release that the report made "dangerous claims" about meat production and demonized the industry.
"It is my hope that the USDA has not abandoned farmers and ranchers in pursuit of policies best left to the Environmental Protection Agency," Moran said.
The senator's news release contained a link to the original newsletter, even though it had been taken down.
Extremism cited
Also angered by the newsletter was the National Cattlemen's Beef Association, whose president called the Meatless Monday initiative an extremist campaign by animal rights activists aimed at ending meat consumption.
"This is truly an awakening statement by USDA, which strongly indicates that USDA does not understand the efforts being made in rural America to produce food and fiber for a growing global population in a very sustainable way," association President J.D. Alexander said in a release.
Alexander later issued a statement applauding the department's decision to scrap the newsletter and its endorsement of Meatless Monday.
Missed opportunity?
Meatless Monday is the oldest initiative of a global public health campaign called the Monday Campaigns, which encourages people to stop smoking and take up other healthy activities by first altering that behavior on Mondays.
Peggy Neu, president of the campaigns, said she was surprised to see the recommendations in the newsletter because of the conflicting promotional demands the department faces, but also was surprised to see the position retracted so quickly.
The department also promotes healthy eating and has recommended dietary guidelines calling for less consumption of saturated fat and greater consumption of fruits and vegetables, two goals that Neu suggested would be furthered by greater participation in Meatless Monday activities.
"There was an opportunity to have a bigger discussion of these issues, rather than a knee-jerk reaction," she said.
Neu said her organization is not anti-rancher and does not advocate a vegetarian diet. It does, however, advocate moderation and believes Americans consume too much meat.

Episcopal Church May Soon Bless Same-Sex Marriages
Good news out of the Episcopal Church, via The Los Angeles Times:
Sixteen years after allowing gays and lesbians to become priests, the Episcopal Church appears poised to introduce a rite that would specifically bless the unions of same-sex couples.
If the liturgy is approved, which is expected, Episcopalians will become the first major denomination to endorse such a ritual for homosexual couples.
On its face, the blessing seems similar to that of a marriage rite -- including "I do," "we have gathered together today" and an exchange of rings. Notably absent are the words "husband," "wife" and "marriage."
The committee says that while the liturgy is not called "marriage," there are "significant parallels." A hearing on the liturgy will be held on Saturday, but no vote is set as of yet.

Catholic Canadians Protest Ontario's Gay-Straight Alliance Law
Lawmakers in Ontario, Canada, last month passed a law requiring schools allow students to form gay-straight alliances that almost everyone can agree helps build understanding, self-esteem and general community for LGBT and heterosexual students alike, thereby reducing anti-gay bullying.
Note I said, "almost everyone." Catholic and other religious groups always opposed the bill and are now trying to start their own kind of clubs, "respecting difference clubs."
Canada's The Observer reports:
The director of Parents as First Educators said Thursday they won't stand for the province bullying them into creating gay-straight alliance clubs in Catholic schools.
"We're calling upon Ontario Catholic Trustees to implement 'respecting difference' clubs as the responsible solution to bullying in schools," Teresa Pierre said.
They said they wanted to create respecting difference clubs, which would still address issues of students who were being bullied, but stayed true to traditional Catholic teachings on sexual behavior and values."PAFE is requesting the trustees to continue to implement these clubs in all Catholic schools in spite of the passing of Bill 13," Pierre said.
Basically PAFE's proposed clubs are exactly the same, save for the explicitly LGBT-inclusive name. Meanwhile, The Observer reports that Catholic schools can reject any club they feel tarnishes their religious character, so this protest really end up being for naught.

Iowa Too Keen On Marriage Equality For Right Wing
Iowa conservatives have been plotting to win back the state legislature and subsequently reverse that state's marriage equality law.
ABC News reports, however, that that homophobic ship may have already sailed.
Conservative lawmakers are watching public opinion move away from them on the gay marriage issue, and now fear that voters might not approve a ban even if the GOP can put one on the ballot by winning control of the Legislature in the November elections.
The shifting views come as a bitter disappointment for the state's prominent Christian conservative community which has long bridled at Iowa's status as a gay rights haven in the heartland — the only place outside the Northeast where gays can marry.
"People are getting comfortable with it and that's a shame to tell you the truth," said Susan Geddes, an Iowa Republican and social conservative organizer who worked for Mike Huckabee's 2008 presidential campaign in the state.
The Des Moines Register poll conducted last February found that 56% of Iowans oppose a ban on marriage equality. Meanwhile, a survey from 2009, the year Iowa's Supreme Court ruled a ban on same-sex marriage unconstitutional, found only 40% of Iowans opposed such anti-gay prohibitions, so clearly people are getting more than "comfortable with it."

Roanoke Athletic Club Changes 'Family' To 'Household' Following Gay Discrimination Suit
Clearly feeling the pressure from Will Trinkle and Juan Granados's anti-gay discrimination lawsuit against them, Virginia-based Roanoke Athletic Club announced via Facebook today that it is changing its "family membership" to "household membership," thereby tacitly saying two things: one, that they'll accept same-sex couples and, two, that family is still straight.
Our goal has been, and always will be to encourage and inspire health and wellness among all members of the communities we serve.
In keeping with this goal, and in recognition of the many contemporary households that can benefit from our facilities through discounted membership fees, we are pleased to announce that we have expanded our Family Membership into a new Household Membership with the following criteria:
Household Membership:
A household consists of a primary member and up to one additional household member that permanently lives in the household, and any of their dependent children under the age of 22 who also reside in the household on a permanent basis.
Club dues will not change; dues for the Household Membership will be the same as the Family Membership it is replacing. There is no requirement to amend your membership, but should this change be advantageous to you, please contact our sales office. If we may answer any questions, do not hesitate to contact us.
ABC News asked the club specifically if they will extend the discount to same-sex couples, to which a spokesman replied, curtly, "It is really defined on Facebook… That is definitely what it says -- for public knowledge."

Ask Rabbi Marcia Prager what a typical day at the Davennen' Leadership Training Institute is like, and she won't talk about the master classes, the skills sessions, the group work. Not at first. At first, she'll start at the beginning.
"We wake up as the sun is getting up, molding our lives within the prayerful rhythm of the day," she said. "People make their way to the synagogue. The mist is rising from the lake. The geese are beginning their calls. We are wrapped in our talleisim. A chant fills the shul."
In a program that meets for four weeklong retreats during a two-year period, the institute seeks to strengthen the ability of rabbis, cantors and other members of the Jewish community to lead people in meaningful group prayer. Despite the institute's emphasis on leadership, everyone is welcome, even individuals simply looking to deepen their own experience of prayer. Founded 10 years ago, the program received the Mintz Family Foundation's annual award this year for creative Jewish education.
The philosophy of the program is that "even in those settings where there is a solo prayer leader, everyone needs to take their place as active creators, collaborative co-creators of the prayer experience," said Prager, who co-founded the institute along with Rabbi Shawn Zevit.
Since one way for participants to become better prayer leaders is to start "deepening their own prayer lives," according to Zevit, the retreats emphasize connecting spiritually and intellectually with all components of a prayer service — liturgy, chanting, history, even the way a person's body moves during prayer.
The overall goal is to integrate prayer into every aspect of participants' lives so that it "becomes not just an activity to do on Friday night, but an integral part of everything you do," Zevit said.
Indeed, David Evan Markus, 36, came to the prayer institute two years ago as a lawyer with the New York State Legislature. Markus said that although he grew up going to synagogue regularly, "I always felt like I was doing the prayer, I wasn't being the prayer."
Practicing the profession of law takes a very rational approach, he said.
"You don't realize how much you're doing that until someone shows you another way," Markus said. In July, Markus began his coursework to become a rabbi — a direct result, he says, of his experiences at the prayer institute.
Participants in the Davennen' program come from the whole spectrum of Jewish life — from tiny, unaffiliated havurot to large Reform and Conservative congregations. The retreats, attended by about 50 students, are held in summer and winter at the Isabella Freedman Jewish Retreat Center in the Berkshires' town of Falls Village, Conn.
Prager is the congregational rabbi at Jewish Renewal synagogues in Philadelphia and in Princeton, N.J., and director and dean of the ordination programs at ALEPH: Alliance for Jewish Renewal.
Zevit is director of outreach and tikkun olam and a congregational consultant for the Jewish Reconstructionist Federation.
Both taught at Elat Chayyim, a center for Jewish spirituality in New York State. Elat Chayyim offers introductory classes on meditation and spirituality. Zevit and Prager founded the Davennen' Institute when Elat Chayyim's founder, Rabbi Jeff Roth, proposed offering students the next level of training.
Each day's schedule includes morning and evening prayers, text study, small group work and classes in traditional skills like leining or Torah chanting.
Among the Davennen' prayer institute's more innovative practices are "davening labs." After the morning prayer service, "People take their talleisim back out and we daven again, but this time in a master-class sort of format," Prager said.
The instructors analyze, detail by detail, the service just completed. For instance, if you're singing a song about joy, why is there not as much joy in your face as there is in the song?
Participants might be asked about different ways of praying: What if you floated the melody underneath? What if you carried the scroll like this? What if you smiled? Do you notice where your hands are? Do you notice whether you're making eye contact with the congregation?
A well-executed service, Zevit said, is "almost like scene after scene in a good play rolling into each other, [with] entrances and exits." Moments of transition between one portion of the service and another … need not be "dead space," Zevit said.
In the months between sessions, participants keep in touch online via a listserv. A few have even started a cyber-davening group, in which a regular morning minyan logs on to a video-conferencing Web site to pray and members practice what they've learned together.
Zevit and Prager are planning an additional opportunity for participants to practice — an "advanced week," part reunion and part continuing education session, in 2010.
"People now want a place where they can come back, re-tune and have an opportunity to be raised up to be teachers," Zevit said.

Thank you so much, Beth and The Forward for this very gracious article! We are blessed to partner with the many participants from all streams of Jewish life in this endeavor. More info available at www.dlti.homestead.com and registration at www.isabellafreedman.org/dlti
I can't wait to hear the details of an "advanced week." Wonderful publicity! Mazal tov.
Lovely article, Forward. Thank you. Like others, I also am looking forward to an "advanced week/reunion" in 2010.
no wonder my own sweet rabbi sherril comes home from these events. i feel blessed just to be a small part of such holy joy.
may i truly say, no wonder my own sweet rabbi sherril comes home from these events so full of light and enthusiasm. i feel blessed just to be a small part of such holy joy.
please remove this and the first incomplete email asap. thank you and sorry for the trouble. beth's article is wonderful. regards, terry
The questionable!! article, I quote below.
Those of us who care about the quality.. leadership (and this means probably everyone on this list!) here is the url with some info on the Davennen Leaders Training Institute. DLTI is a program of Elat Chayyim, the Jewish Renewal retreat center in northwestern Connecticut. it is a great program that trains people in the sacred art of leading congregational worship-- not just the melodies but the whole spiritual/emotional dynamic of a service.
The program is directed by Rabbis Marcia Prager and Shawn Zevit; I do the nusach/music workshops.
I got quite excited as someone is really caring about Shule quality of davening. The words are exact, but... they dont fit the action or the photographs..
I was horrified, sorry to say and shocked, as I saw and couldnt believe the photos.
I first thought it was a Purim Shpiel, women dressed as men and wearing Tallit!! But as I realized to my dismay, its real!
Coming from an orthodox home and environment, ex British and now living in Jerusalem, it seems and is miles away from the 'real' thing..
I know the reform movement is quite wide in the States.
In America, there are always "new ideas" to catch on to.
It is an American thing, as you look into Europe, the practice is virtually non existant.
I am not asking you all to suddenly turn overnight into Charedi, or become fanatical ( I am modern orthodox- the movement of Benei Akiva.) But as you look throughout Jewish history, the fact remains that the orthodox, or whatever you would like to call it, has remained for thousand of years. Thousands of people, frum, traditional, non- religious visit the graves of our ancestors. Why,, its because every Jew has that feeling, spark of..belonging. whether orthodox, traditional or like your special movement.
Actually it is nice to see that you are caring, to daven.
Throughout the Jewish World there are now big Ba'al Teshuva movements It has just grown, and obviously there is a need for you to daven, to become involved in Judaism. That is really great, because otherwise you would be swallowed up into inter-marriage and the likes of the disappearing Jew in assimilation.
I feel, that despite it is quite outside the norm of Jewish practice, you are evidently clutching on to something. This something is the Jewish Neshama( soul) in each of us. Your need is a burning desire to communicate in your own ways, as a Davening leaders Institute. It is a wonderful idea ( I could recommend it to some of the orthodox brethren) BUT.. if you would only turn it into an Orthodox ( I dont mean fanatics, as you seem to think is the way of the majority of Jews)
Davening Leaders, with men and women separate, it would grow to most gigantic proportions. All these "orthodox' themes and many books have been written how a Jew should behave, in his life, in his prayers, how he should conduct himself. Why, its because there is a need for a Jew to become just that, and not to be caught up in the 'new' fashionable ways of our times. This 'old fashioned" way as you see it, has kept the Jewish people, or else the Jews and religion would just been assimilated years ago, starting with the 400 years of Jews as slaves in Egypt. Your movement theory is wonderful, but the practice is belies..
Its like trying to bake a cake, in an unorthodox manner.. The recipe calls for flour and water, oil spices etc, but you are trying to construct a new idea. baking it with glue, string, water, flour. yes the cake will hold for a certain while, but in the end the conventional cake will win.. eventually you will see the correct way and meaning.
Its a matter of logic, as otherwise, all these orthodox, traditional Jews would have disappeared long ago, in favour of the new.
As this is the month of Ellul, I ask forgiveness ( slicha) if my criticism offended anyone.
Come visit Israel, and please continue to daven
Wishing you all Shana Tova V'Ketiva V'Chatima Tova.
Kol Tuv,
Anna Schlesinger

AJ Brooks: A programming note – our meeting next week will be a regular roundtable meeting and our topic will be "Future VWER Meeting Topics"
AJ Brooks: Anyway, enough of all that, let go ahead and get started. As many of all know, my name is AJ Kelton, AJ Brooks here in sL.
AJ Brooks: I'm the Director of Emerging & Instructional Technology for the College of Humanities and Social Sciences at Montclair State University in NJ.
Iggy (ignatius.onomatopoeia): Hippies!
Lillie Islander: All the cool kids are doing it!
Bill Friis: AJ passes the skill test.
AJ: Now I will sit on the floor. Amy thank you for joining us
Amy: I'm Amy Cheney and happy to be here. I'm an Associate Professor of Information Technology at Appalachian State in Boone NC
AJ: What types of courses do you teach?
Amy: All our courses are aimed to teach students to use tech well in the classroom. we discuss tech & law, leadership, and planning
AJ: How have you used SL to teach some of that?
Amy; We don't use SL. We did use Activeworlds.
AJ: We used the be the SL ed Roundtable, but then we branched out to other VWs
So how do you use virtual worlds?
Amy: We currently use Teleplace (name to change soon) and we reach out to a population across NC. Our contructivist philosophy works really well in virtual worlds
AJ: Any work with persona? I had a PhD student write to me about faculty persona in VWs
Amy: Paul Wallace, on our faculty does research in that area. She may want to talk to him.
AJ: Tell us what AERA is
AJ Brooks: post questions, or VOTE on questions that are already posted. Our URL for that is http://bit.ly/vwermod
Amy: AERA is a large group, with a diverse set of interests about research in education. The conference will be in San Francisco in early May or late April
July 23 is the deadline for the call for papers
AJ: let's talk a bit about ARVEL too
Amy: ARVEL is a group that considers issues of teaching in immersive environments both games and VWs and mixed environments
AJ: What is a "strand:" in this group?
Amy: In the big conference, we have a series of roundtables and symposia about our topics concerning immersive learning. We have a business meeting, and Constance Steinkuehler will be our speaker
AJ: What is a SIG?
Amy: A special interest group. Our group has about 125 members.
D'lightful (delightful.doowangle): Constance Steinkuehler http://website.education.wisc.edu/steinkuehler/blog/
Amy: the strand is part of the larger conference and participants can attend any meetings (over 10,000 people at the conference)
AJ: fees are reasonable to join a SIG if you are in education
Amy: a few dollars for a student, more for faculty
AJ Brooks: post questions, or VOTE on questions that are already posted. Our URL for that is http://bit.ly/vwermod
Amy: the research focus this year is on poverty. We look for immersive projects to help students with issues of social justice and poverty
AJ: So as you get ready for this, what are your expectations?
Amy: We have looked at Games for Change, others who might use these tools with those who otherwise lack access. AERA chose the theme, but we have also interpreted that as equity.
AJ: Does someone *have* to present on that theme?
Amy: We'd consider other worthy topics
AJ: having organized conferences, I know it's a lot of work. Let's talk a bit about your duties and role
Amy: As chair elect, I'll be in that role the following year. We have a thorough vetting process, with a panel of reviewers and a triple review process. Overall, it's a low acceptance rate for the conference. There's a higher rate of acceptance for the SIG. Triple review means blind review of the proposal by three readers
(Amy, correct that if I'm wrong!)
AJ: What advice for a person proposing a topic?
Amy: We focus narrowly, so you'd want to focus on the focus of our Sig
It's good to let the reviewers know that participants will have some fun as well as learning something
AJ: Can you compare the experience of AERA to the SIG, in terms of # accepted
Amy: overall for AERA, acceptance is in the teens. It's twice that for AERA
*for the SIG at AERA
Bill Friis: AECT is real. I have seen it.
Lillie Islander: http://www.aect.org/newsite/
AJ Brooks: post questions, or VOTE on questions that are already posted. Our URL for that is http://bit.ly/vwermod
AJ: If you have a question for Amy, post it to moderator. Must the talks be about completed research?
Amy: no necessarily . We have papers about theory, pilot projects, and ongoing research. The Sig at AERA is a good place to present and test one's ideas
Amy: It's a fun group in our Sig. We do not just present papers. Last year we had an augmented reality murder mystery game in Vancouver
Claudia13 Rossini: (heyyyyyyyyy)
Bill Friis: What? Nerd?
Lillie Islander: Geek?
AJ: Everyone here has some nerd in them
D'lightful (delightful.doowangle): Neeeerrrrrrdddd
Claudia13 Rossini: lol
Iggy (ignatius.onomatopoeia):weekly RPG ÒNerd NightÓ for Iggy
Claudia13 Rossini: (oh great…'old')
AJ: We have an image of "The Researcher" that may not be accurate. I would love to go this year. Several friends and colleagues present on fascinating topics
Lillie Islander: And I'm glad of it! People cringe at the word "research" but we have a decent turnout today for summer…15 on the sim now.
AJ: Tell us about some of last year's sessions
AJ Brooks: post questions, or VOTE on questions that are already posted. Our URL for that is http://bit.ly/vwermod
Amy: We had presentation on Indian culture in SL (nation of India), Those with an interest in a topic should contact me. We had a lot of STEM oriented topics as well. We are not seeing as many proposals this year. We are very collegial and have fun. We met in New Orleans and are not stodgy
Lillie Islander: http://www.aera.net
AJ: So if someone here wanted to go, you would need to belong to AERA to go. As a student member, my cost is under $70 and that includes memberships to several Sigs
Lillie Islander: http://www.arvelsig.com
AJ: Registration is about $400, but that is much less than EDUCAUSE
Amy: this is a URL to our Ning. We have Twitter, Facebook, and Linkedin presence. You can find the call for papers at the Ning
AJ: if someone goes, how can they find a roommate? the listserv?
Amy: Yes, this is an option
AJ: Tell us what you mean by presence and community
AJ Brooks: post questions, or VOTE on questions that are already posted. Our URL for that is http://bit.ly/vwermod
Amy: presence in a space is essential, and you do not get that in an LMS people come together for a common purpose and a common goal we found that students who had only an in-world experience had a better outcome than those who met face to face. We are trying to come up with why this is so.
AJ: Two Questions from D'Lightful
D'lightful (delightful.doowangle): Thanks AJ
What are the prospects for conducting research in immersive 3d environments?
Amy: Good prospects. We ant to begin using machinima to show what is going on. A group among us is developing methods for demonstrating what is happening in this new field of research.
Chimera Cosmos: Konstructivism
AJ: You mentioned "Constructivist" twice. Define that
Amy: Lev Vygotsky is not light summer reading, but it's our basis. Students learning and developing knowledge in partnership with teachers
Chimera Cosmos: They are kind of the antithesis AJ.
Amy: the antithesis is the grade-driven accountability
Chimera Cosmos: grades are highly behaviorist
Lillie Islander: definitely they are
AJ: I hope that what is going on today is less about accountability and more about assessment. Assessment can be used in either Objectivist or Constructivist settings
Chimera Cosmos: Speaker agreed with me. LOL
Lillie Islander:
Chimera Cosmos: carrot and stick
AJ: The method of assigning grades is behaviorist, not necessarily the act of grading
Amy: Some K-12 teachers get very frustrated with us because the philosophy is alien
Lillie Islander: The k-16 system, I'd argue
Claudia13 Rossini: (using what you've memorised in new ways vs just memorising) vs
AJ: At Montclair, we work with many K-12 teachers, but the system they come from focuses on standardized learning. In my writing classes taught a few years again, I felt sorry for my first-years, who had just come out of a system that was all about the teacher making sure the student learned. The basis for this is standardized tests, then in college they are dropped into a place where the system is switched. The student must do the work and the teacher can give Fs
Amy: I'd argue that even at college we have similar problems, with an industrial model of edu with some education faculty
AJ: Other question, "What desired improvements are sought to be able to conduct research within these environments?"
Chimera Cosmos: Or 45 days!!
Both speakers: this is the sort of Q that Jon Richter loves
Amy: there are things in these environments that cannot happen elsewhere
Chimera Cosmos: Betting JR is a Constructivist….heheh
AJ Brooks: hell yeah, with a lower c though I think. From a research perspective, some new thinking needed. New methodology needed to know how to conduct research. Counting keystrokes, for instance, is an old methodologyl
Chimera Cosmos: hmmm…I'm betting on BIG C
AJ: machinima might be a way to gather data. You give interesting and concise answers! Thank you for joining us today!
Claudia13 Rossini: (page 45 on his list)
I hope to be at AERA this year
Bill Friis: clap clap clap
Chimera Cosmos: I wish. AERA rocks. So many diverse viewpoints.
Lillie Islander: firstname.lastname@example.com or firstname.lastname@example.com
D'lightful (delightful.doowangle): Thanks so much Amy/Lillie
Zotarah Shepherd: Thank you Amy
Ridvan-Researcher (ridvan.atolia): thank you Amy
Zotarah Shepherd: Thank you AJ
Frankie Antonelli: Thanks Amy and AJ
Chimera Cosmos: thanks!
Lillie Islander: Thanks so much for having me!
Camie Rembrandt: thank you! it was great
Iggy (ignatius.onomatopoeia): See you all next week!!

A little thing called a 'derecho' rolled through town last Friday and left us all without electricity (for three days) or Internet (for six days) so if you missed last weekend's post, now you know why! Life is, more or less, back to normal now and, thankfully, property damage was relatively minor, so we're back in action this week!
I love potato salad in summer but, variety being the spice of life, I like to shake things up a bit now and again. One delicious option are papas arrugadas, or 'wrinkled' potatoes. I had them for the first time at a local tapas place run by celebrity chef José Andrés, and it was truly love at first bite. I immediately had to learn how to make them, and it turns out they are nothing but small, baby potatoes boiled with their skins on in heavily salted water until dry. Their skins crinkle up in the process (hence the name) and the salt forms a powdery surface.
Perfectly delicious just like that, papas arrugadas are typically served with a sauce, or mojo, either red or green. Although I am very partial to green sauces, this time I went for the mojo rojo, or red sauce, made from puréed dried chili peppers, garlic and oil.
Ingredients (serves 4-6 as a side dish)
For the potatoes:
One bag (approx. 750g/1-1/2 lbs.) of baby potatoes, unpeeled
A large fistful of sea salt
For the mojo rojo:
A handful of small dried red chili peppers (chiles de árbol work well)
1-2 garlic cloves
A spoonful of pimentón (smoked paprika)
Olive oil
Salt and pepper
NB: Many recipes call for a pinch of cumin as well, although I prefer to leave it out.
Place the potatoes in a pot with water to cover and a big fistful of sea salt. Cover and bring to a boil, then let the potatoes boil uncovered until the potatoes are cooked and the water has completed boiled off. (NB: If the potatoes are done and the water has still not boiled off, you can pour most of it out to speed things up a bit.)
While the potatoes are cooking, make the mojo: Soak the chiles in hot water to soften for a few minutes. Drain them, trim off the stems, and place them in a blender (or the beaker of a hand blender) along with the other ingredients, including enough oil to come, say, halfway up the ingredients. Blend until smooth. Pour into a bowl.
Serve the potatoes hot, with the sauce on the side for those that like it.
NOTES: This is a great choice for a cookout or just about any time you need an interesting side dish. It makes a great part of a tapas meal (which is how I first tried them) and, as far as I'm concerned, served with the sauce they are interesting enough to serve as a light meal, along with some salad and a piece of fruit.
There is also a green sauce, or mojo verde, that goes with these potatoes, made much like the Italian salsa verde, but with a bit of cumin and substituting cilantro for all or a part of the parsley. Some recipes will tell you to finish the potatoes in the oven, but I like the simplicity of doing all the cooking in one saucepan.
Papas arrugadas come from the Canary Islands, where they were originally cooked using water from the sea. If you don't have access to sea water, lots of sea salt helps give a similar flavor.
Post scriptum: Long-time readers may be interested to know that our little blog turned three years old on June 29. Hard to believe it's actually been that long... This third anniversary comes along as we reached another milestone, 1.5 million page views, which means traffic is really picking up. It took us almost 2-1/2 years to reach the 1 million page view mark, but less than six months to get to 1.5 million. Thanks to all of you for your readership!

According to volunteer Jerry Cody, who worked with his late wife to save the schoolhouse from removal and demolition, much of the original schoolhouse is in tact, including the windows, the wood stove, and several of the student desks. Electricity has been added, a new well installed and modern restrooms built.
In costume of the 1886
school marm Mrs. Stevens, volunteer docent Tracy Lech instructed all the party guests to take a seat commensurate with their school grade level - lower grades at the front, as seat assignments were originally made - while she delivered a lesson about the goings on of the school which was open for six months out of the year.After class, party guests went to recess to play with the typical games and toys students would use, including the hoop toss, marbles, jump rope, and the May Pole. Riverside County Parks staff people interpreted the games for the guests.
While Lee Burton offered a buffet picnic of grilled chicken, roasted sweet potato salad and citrus-spinach salad, guests enjoyed the easy offerings of Sweet Muse, an ensemble including Wendy Hunt, Lynn Berkeley Krantz, Bobbie Chapman and Clayton Crawford in the pristine setting of the almost wild San Timoteo Canyon.
San Timoteo Canyon Schoolhouse is open to the public on the first and third Saturdays of every month from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
On Sunday, party guests came "On the Ranch" for Party No. 13 at one of the Redlands area working ranches, Live Oak Canyon Ranch and Pumpkin Patch. Host Gregg Palmer guided guests on a hay wagon ride around the ranch, showing off the vast acres of corn maze and pumpkin patches. Four bandits accosted the hay wagon driver and demanded everyone's valuables, to no avail - alas, none of us had any valuables except the children, which the bandits declined.
Safely back at the ranch, party guests toured the rest of the property before returning to camp where farrier Henry Papenhausen demonstrated the use of a forge to make a horse shoe from a straight piece of iron.
The dinner bell called guests to the barbecue - roasted chicken and tri-tip, cowboy beans, spicy green beans, cowboy toast and green salad - prepared by QWorks in Yucaipa. Ranch hands never had it so good.
After dinner, party guests relaxed for singing and cowboy poetry by No Name Singers - known for this event as the Cork Screws.
"Every time a person makes a reservation for one of the Parties for the Necklace, that person is helping to support the Redlands Conservancy's Emerald Necklace projects," said Sherli Leonard, Redlands Conservancy executive director. "And we guarantee a unique experience specially designed for our guests. Our party hosts seem to have no limit to the quality and quantity of party ideas."

Colorado Cat Turns Up In Manhattan
Originally published on Thu September 15, 2011 7:09 am
The stories of lost pets turning up years later and hundreds (or thousands) of miles from home keep coming.
Today's tale, from The Associated Press:
"A calico cat named Willow, who disappeared from a home near the Rocky Mountains five years ago, was found Wednesday on a Manhattan street and will soon be returned to a family in which two of the three kids and one of the two dogs may remember her.
"How she got to New York, more than 1,600 miles away, and the kind of life she lived in the city are mysteries."
Once again, as in many other such stories, a microchip has led to owner being reunited with pet. Earlier this month, there was the report of a boxer in Florida named Cane who's now back with his family. In August, there was the tale of Fadiddle, a miniature pinscher who somehow got from Salt Lake City to San Diego. Heidi the German shorthair pointer from Arizona ended up in Pennsylvania.
If only they could tell us about their journeys.

Tommie, an ambitious young lawyer, is the pride and joy of his family and the polar opposite of his brother Willie, a quiet, humble farmer. Though both men loved Lillie, it's Tommie's reckless affair that thrusts his family into the spotlight. With Lillie dead, Willie must decide how far to trust Tommie, and whether he ever understood him at all. Told through accumulating revelations, Tommie's story finally ends in a riveting courtroom
Based on a true story, The Reservoir centers on a guilty and passionate love triangle composed of two very different brothers and one young, naive girl hiding an unspeakable secret. A novel of lust, betrayal, justice, and revenge, The Reservoir ultimately probes the question of whether we can really know the hearts and minds of others, even of those closest to us.

| Sane LI accounting for Mesh, llVolumeDetect hack and Pathfinding (I'm posting this here because it affects everyone who might be buying mesh furniture or vehicles, not just content creators, but please move it if it's in the wrong place). Via Nalates: #SecondLife Land Impact Costs to Change In summary, it seems that the old trick of making a child prim phantom by setting llVolumeDetect(TRUE) and then linking it is going to stop working very shortly, when Pathfinding is rolled out. See PATHBUG-69. However, this is to be done in a way that won't break much existing content (or shouldn't) because stuff's going to convert itself automagically: Quote:

My Mood: SL Join Date: late 04... that account is deleted now | don't like the land collision changes to volume detect.... makes object scanning more of a PITA. if an object is buried in a crevice (effectively underground) you only need to get close to sense it, which could be done underground. now you'll have to track land contours precisely which is expensive, slow and unnecessary for most general cases. I'm sure there's other things it breaks, I remember someone made a tennuler vehicle that let avs travel underground, I'm betting it'll break too.

But they're also aware, going by Falcon's comments in the jira, that under the present accounting system, this would be just as destructive as simply turning off the llVolumeDetect trick, because it would send the prim count of so many converted items through the roof. So they're taking the opportunity to reform the accounting system. So I think it has to apply to sculpts, since so much of the existing content they're trying not to break is made with them. | |

Eeeeks! | Quote:
Everybody I know, experimenting with mesh, has had their "Ooops" moment, where they linked a mesh element to some kind of 'classical' build (made out of the typical combo of hollowed/cut legacy prims and sculpt elements) and the 'prim count' LI went totaly through the roof by switching to the mesh accounting. Falcon's example with the three tori is a typical one (- although it's normaly not that extreme with sculpts), where the 'old' LI of 3 jumps to a 'new' 14. Capping the LI at the prim count for legacy content would realy help making the whole building again more predictable and less of a Russian Roulette game. | |

| All we need is a system that doesn't punish us horrendously and encourages us to build efficiently but with an elemnent of fun, the way LI has worked so far hasn't been much fun because of absurd punitive penalties. |

| Stop using scripts and never use avatar attachments and you will meet the standards of LL employees and management. They want SL to suck so it will die. Been this way since 2007. And rodvik is a sockpuppet. Bob Komin makes all decisions. Period. Sooner Komin is fired the sooner SL advances. |

My Mood: | Perhaps I misunderstand, but my reading of the relevant statements is that the change (back) to to one-LI-per-prim will apply only to linksets that are all legacy prims (including sculpties). This is because it is intended only to protect existing content. As soon as there is a mesh involved, the new accounting will still be used on the whole linkset. In that case, the problems of huge LI upon linking meshes to legacy builds will not go away. Someone tell me I am wrong? |

My Mood: | Ok, Yes. I read it all again. "[17:01] Falcon Linden: We're changing streaming cost for prims to be capped at 1.0 and we're changing server weight to be: 0.5 * num_prims + (0.25 * num_scripts) but capped at num_prims" .... does look as if it applies in all cases, as there is no condition attached. So I can hope I am wrong. On the other hand, the example he gave did not contain any mesh, so it would be good to try to extract an explicit statement that it will still apply when the linkset contains mesh. If the download weight (formerly streaming cost) is supposed to be just that, then it was indeed very incorrect to weight legacy prims with the LI system, as they are always just the same small parameter set as far as download is concerned. I expect it happened because this became confused with rendering load when it was tied to a per region "triangle budget". Of course the rendering cost of the legacy meshes are high. If this is indeed a reversion to download resource as the more important factor, that is a good thing. It does bring into question, however, the whole philosophy of using the triangle budget as the basis for scaling download cost, which is currently implicit in the code. Perhaps further changes may be in the air? |

Business: Faerycat Designs Client: Firestorm | If he is referring to prim as mesh, built in prims, or sculpts, then its overall a good thing. If he is only referring to built in prims [box, sphere, torus, etc.] than it could be messy. But I'm reading it as any prim and if so, then it could mean that if you upload a prim that is in parts, that each part is treated as a prim. Since there is an upward limit of amount of faces, and [apparently] using a mesh as a physics model for the mesh does not always give you proper physics, making it necessary to divide meshes into more parts, well, it still might actually help with mesh adoption. |

My Mood: | Well, I hope this is going to be a positive change. I'm a little worried how it will affect things like sculpty stair treads, which often had to use that volume detect hack to make the stairs usable. So, when does this blow up under our seat cushions? (IE: When does this go live, grid-wide). Or where can we go to see how this will affect some of our existing content? |

My Mood: | I went to this region: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Harvey/128/128/25 , and rezzed a set of linked sculpty and normal prim stairs that have a script in the sculpty stair treads that sets volume detect to true for that prim on rez, then disables the script. It was definitely a pathfinding sim - they had bugs crawling on the dock area. But nothing changed about the stairs when I rezzed them there. It didn't have any mesh bits linked to it though. Well, as long as normal prims + sculpted prims in a linkset are not affected by this, I guess I don't care yet. None of my builds have mesh parts in them. |

| It's not been introduced yet, as far as I know. Falcon was telling people what's going to happen, not what's happening at the moment. I'm puzzled by your description of how your stairs work, because the volume detect hack only works for unlinked prims that you then link to the main linkset as children. Once they're linked, you can't switch them between pseudo-phantom and not, and haven't been able to for a couple of years. So I think the prims have llVolumeDetect(TRUE) set anyway, and that the script is redundant. Be that as it may, according to what Falcon says in PATHBUG-69, Quote:

| And even if there are scripts, it's not going to be more than 15. But -- and this is what I'm really pleased about -- the LI cost of being scripted goes up in proportion to the number of scripts you use, so, while you lose some advantage by putting a script in, you've still got an incentive to be economical. |

"If I forget to mention anyone, babe, could you come up and thank them after?" he joked.
Jackman admitted to his Les Mis director Tom Hooper that he came close to quitting the project after a disastrous early rehearsal.
"I really thought I'd bitten off more than I could chew," he said. "My wife talked me off that cliff, like she talks me most days.

Reconsidering Prayer (part 6)
In this second-to-last week of this lesson reconsidered prayer we talk about what happens to us when we take on the soul-quieting, truth-seeking, freedom-finding, prayer practices we've been talking about.
And sure enough…
our souls find increased freedom….
we see and respond to the world around us differently.
We finish up with the practical pointer of finding a way of this different kind of prayer that is a fit for the unique fingerprint of each of our souls. Continue reading

Rafiqul Islam was born and raised here. This was his home — till the day before, when a marauding group of miscreants burnt down the place he used to call his home.
Ever since rioting began in and around Kokrajhar about a week ago, Mr. Islam had been on guard. A businessman dealing in construction materials, he got a tip-off that his house and that of his mother adjoining it might be attacked. On Tuesday, it happened.
"People came to my house and that of my mother, Rabia Khatun, and set them afire," he says, matter-of-factly.
Without displaying any signs of sorrow or fear, Mr. Islam goes about salvaging some clothes from what remain of the two houses.
"There are still some things and articles left in my house, but in my mother's house, everything has been gutted," he says. Two cars stand gutted in the two houses. Some household goods lie scattered around, while much of what remains is ash and soot.With two daughters and a wife to look after, Mr. Islam would probably be looking for a new and safer place. "All the family members are safe for now. My mother was residing in her house along with my brother, sister-in-law and their children. We moved to safer places before the attack took place."
For Mr. Islam the loss has been not so much of property as of faith and trust. "I was born here, lived all my life here. Our family has been living here for the last 40-45 years. Why did they pick on us?"
What also hurt him is government apathy. Though the twin houses stand on the main road, barely a couple of km from the Circuit House which Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi visited on Thursday, no one paid him a visit. "I have not got any aid and no one has come to enquire about the attack so far."

Several people were wounded as new clashes erupted on Wednesday between the army and rival neighborhoods in Lebanon's northern city of Tripoli, a security official said.
The official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said shooting erupted after soldiers tried to remove barricades in the sensitive mainly neighborhood of Bab al-Tebbaneh.
The neighborhood sits opposite Jabal Mohsen, a district populated mainly by loyalists to the embattled regime of Syria's President Bashar al-Assad.
Bab al-Tebbaneh residents for their part back the opposition seeking to overturn Assad's regime.
Battles first erupted on Saturday between residents of the rival neighborhoods after security forces arrested Shadi al-Mawlawi, an Islamist, on alleged charges of belonging to a terrorist organization.
Mawlawi's supporters say he was targeted because of his help for Syrian refugees fleeing to Lebanon.
Some 500 of them blocked a main road leading into Tripoli on Monday and said they would leave only after Mawlawi was released.
A total of nine people, including a soldier hit by sniper fire, died in the port city and dozens were wounded in the fighting.

Fraud schemes targeting struggling homeowners not only impact the local community, but also impact the nation's economy. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Housing and Urban Development (HUD), and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) have pooled resources, in conjunction with other federal, state, and local agencies, to combat mortgage fraud schemes victimizing distressed homeowners.
Approximately one third of mortgage fraud investigations now involve distressed homeowner fraud. Over 12 million mortgages are delinquent and over 1 million homes are in foreclosure. These figures represent an increased opportunity for fraudsters to target homeowners who are at risk of foreclosure.
Distressed homeowner fraud schemes to be aware of include Advance Fee Schemes, Short Sale Schemes, and Fraudulent Deed Transfers.
Advance fee schemes involve subjects who demand an up-front fee from homeowners, with the promise of modifying mortgage loans and saving homes from foreclosure. Scammers who use this technique perform little or no work and the victim homeowners' still lose their home to foreclosure.
