About Shae K.Close
I teach piano both as a starting to other instruments and as a goal in and of itself. My method is to teach as much as I can in the learning style of the student. I have taught from every available piano method book out there. The goal is not to get through each book as quick as we can. The goal is to become a student who enjoys making music. The student and I work as much as we can during the lesson time on the understanding of the songs, method, style, and theory of music. Therefore, if a someone does not have much time for practice during a week, as happens for time to time, they will still learn and progress.
About Shae
*** Lesson Details ***
I am a friendly person and like to put everyone at ease. I try to adapt to each student's learning style. As I have hinted at in my bio, I teach the skills and then we work together on these skills during the lesson. The idea is for the knowledge and skills to come together before the student tries on their own. The student actually learns quicker this way and we repeat lessons much less. The student also desires to learn when they see those goals being attained at a quicker pace. I usually average one lesson book every 2-3 months, depending on the student.
*** Specialties ***
I have taught every method available for piano. My preference is Faber & Faber. For more advanced students we create our own curriculum.

About Amy W.Close
I have many years of experience teaching students of all ages and ability levels. More of my background is explained in my biography section of this website.
About Amy
I love music of all kinds and have a strong belief that everyone should experience the joy and power of it in his or her life. It is very rewarding for me to help students develop their skills as they discover a meaningful way of self-expression using a universal language. Teaching music is something I love to do and I know that fact reflects to my students resulting in an enjoyable experience for them as well.
*** Lesson Details ***
What can a student/parent expect from lessons with me? I can provide my students with a solid foundation of proper technique. This is so very important because you do not ever want to have to unlearn bad habits. I also include appropriate music theory, ear training and improvising for each level. I purposefully pace the lessons to prevent students from feeling frustrated. Instead, I work to generate excitement about the learning process and keep students motivated by their own progress. Furthermore, I am willing to accommodate a student if they have a special interest in a certain musical genre or a personal goal they are working towards. I encourage, but do not require students to take advantage of recital and performance opportunities that I provide.
*** Studio Equipment ***
Large music room: piano, electric keyboard, flute, clarinet, trumpet, music stands.
*** Specialties ***
I have a lot of experience teaching students who are brand new to their instrument. I believe the beginning is a very important time to start building a solid foundation for all future musical growth. I love being able to help my students establish good habits from the beginning and influence the overall direction of a new studentâs musical experience.
I love music of all kinds and have fun playing and teaching all the instruments that I listed. However, the two instruments that I have the most training on and have performed on are the piano and the flute. I would be a great teacher for private lessons to help a student excel in band at school or for a high school student preparing for contests or auditions. Also, I am very patient with beginners and would be ideal as a child's first piano teacher or for an adult who has always wanted to play a certain instrument of his or her choice.

I found Zach through 'take lessons' after my daughter had a few years with an intense classical pianist. I want my daughter to have fun and appreciate music and not feel the intense pressure she was feeling with our previous instructor. Zach was the perfect choice. My daughter loves her lessons. Zach does take time off for his professional endevors. Good for him. He has always let us know and connected with us when he returns.

About Melody M.Close
Piano lessons will help you develop the basic skills of keyboard (piano) playing, keyboard techniques (posture, hand position, fingering, etc.) and sight reading.
1. Develop the basic skills of keyboard (piano) playing;
2. Freely engage in creative expression; and
explore the technical elements of music.
3. Perform keyboard pieces applying basic reading and coordinative skills.
4. Create and play from memory any assignment required by the performer.
About Melody
My lessons provide students with an opportunity to deeply explore the voice, build confidence, and to develop healthy and effective singing practices, which can be applied to any style of musical singing and playing.
A well-rounded music education is very important and I have fun and educational resources for learning vocal technique, ear training, harmony, pitch matching and music theory.
I am very fortunate to have performed and studied Classical and Opera, musical theater productions, have sang in Rock, Pop, Country, R&B
In addition to being vocally healthy, I encourage self-expression and enhance self-esteem in my students: singers of all ages, skill levels and styles. Plus, it has to be fun, otherwise why do it? Singing is a process and less about the end goal and we train the body, mind and use imagination and it's a very exciting process!
***My students regularly receive scholarships and placement in music schools and programs around the U.S., have won competitions, do well in auditions, are performing in successful bands and/or recording artists.
I am energetic and enthusiastic; actively promote values and traditional teaching practices coupled with the introduction of technology into the lesson. My experience as an educator is to share passion and talent for music with the next generation of musicians and outstanding communication skills. I really care about my students and provide the tools to help them reach their goals!
Bachelor of Music, minor in Psychology from Michigan State University
Master of Vocal Pedagogy from Oakland University
Here is some of my experience as a performer: I have sung Internationally at the renowned Eisteffodd Music Festival in Wales, toured through Britain and performed at the Laupin Agile Cabaret in Paris. I was honored with a nomination to attend the prestigious Yale Cabaret Conference and worked with cabaret legend Julie Wilson and Manhattan Transfer founder Laurel Masse. Sung and performed roles with the Mid-Michigan and Detroit Opera Companies. Performed a production of Sleepwalkers with the Kari Margolis Brown Company at the O'Shaughnessy Theatre. I currently perform all over the Twin Cities with my own R&B/Soul Band, Melody and The Dramatics! Plus, I am a contract vocalist and perform in a variety of other projects, so needless to say, it is all a very awesome ride!
*** Lesson Details ***
My laid-back and fun approach allows for versatility and is tailored to meet the needs of the individual student. When studying the art of singing you are gaining skills, which build confidence.
When you understand what you're doing and why, you bring more confidence to your performance. Progress is made with regular practice outside of lessons. Voice students record each private lesson through their devices and take notes in their own notebooks.
I have "warm-up" tracks which you can use in your car or at home and you will notice significant improvement once you start your routine.
Practicing is very important and I have great methods to teach students how to maximize their time and get the best results! I am privileged to have an opportunity to teach and very passionate about coaching a student to meet his or her musical goals!
Also, I have a Beagle named "Bacon" and he will always be very excited to see you, however he does calm down when you're in the studio. In addition, I have two cats, so please let me know if you have allergies or any special recommendations.
Thanks so much!

Saddik M.Gohar, UAE University, UAE
This paper aesthetically articulates the representation of the Palestinian city in modern Arabic poetry in order to argue that while Arab -and non-Arab poets-incorporate variety of attitudes toward the city , the presentation of the Palestinian city reveals a radical difference from the rest of Arabic and non-Arabic poetry due to the peculiar history of struggle, resistance and victimization characterizing life in the Palestinian metropolis. To the Palestinian poets, in particular, the city is part of a homeland they have lost or a refugee camp that has been resisting the invaders for decades. Contrary to western cities inhabited by alien residents such as Eliot's Prufrock, or Arab cities populated by strangers, outsiders, whores, outcasts and political prisoners as in the literary cities of Badr Shaker Al-Sayyab and Ahmed Abdul-Muti Hejazi , the Palestinian city is inhabited by heroes and martyrs. These heroes who appear in contemporary Palestinian poetry and take different shapes personify the struggle and resistance of a nation that has frequently refused to surrender at times of crisis. Representing the spirit of the Palestinian people confronting a world replete with treachery and hypocrisy, the Palestinian city and its nameless heroes , in contemporary Arabic poetry, is an embodiment of an eternal and unlimited Palestinian dream , the dream of return, rebirth and liberation. In this context, the paper affirms that unlike Arab cities which are associated with decadence, corruption, exploitation and moral bankruptcy, the Palestinian city, due to the Palestinian history of exile, resistance, victimization and pain, is viewed in Arabic/Palestinian poetry as a location of heroism, struggle, defiance and martyrdom.

This premier addition to the Arboretum was designed by Rowland Jackson of Newman, Jackson, Bieberstein, with construction services provided by The Beck Group. Key design elements of the Nancy Rutchik Red Maple Rill include a new entry off the Paseo de Flores and a large gathering plaza that overlooks a re-circulating creek and numerous waterfalls. Opened in fall 2011, this charming area also includes a series of paved walkways and a stone bridge connecting the Martin Rutchik Concert Stage to the Magnolia Allee. An especially large weeping Japanese maple, nearly 100 years old, anchors the center of the garden.

Modern, high-quality solar hot water (SHW) systems are reliable and long-lasting if designed and installed properly. Many systems installed more than 30 years ago are still going strong. However, most systems this old and older have needed repairs and component replacement from normal wear and tear. In some cases, repairs or alterations are needed because of design and/or installation flaws.
SHW systems are fairly simple appliances—not as straightforward as a tank-style water heater but nowhere near the complexity of a car. Seeing, hearing, smelling, and touching components (carefully) can assist in diagnosing problems before any troubleshooting equipment and tools are used. Experienced technicians use their senses to determine the status of a solar water heater. Unusual, high-pitched noises and burning odors are associated with bearing wear from the pumps. Burning smells can also indicate electrical problems, such as burned motor windings, loose connections, or damage from excessive voltage or current. Visual inspection can reveal controller malfunction, leaks, and fluid levels.
If all appears normal after a quick inspection and the sun is out with the pump(s) energized, measuring the temperatures of the collector loop supply and return can provide valuable information. If pipe temperatures allow it, feel the two pipes, with one hand on each pipe. If pipes are too hot to touch (above about 120°F), measure their temperature with an infrared thermometer. A noticeable difference in temperature between the two pipes indicates that the collectors are adding heat—the system is working.
Cold supply and return pipes are a symptom of no flow—check the pump(s) or controller first. Both pipes being hot and at the same temperature is likely only to occur in a system with an external heat exchanger. This indicates that the collector loop pump is operating and the controllers have turned it on but that the heat is not being exchanged to the home's potable water. A malfunction in the domestic hot water (DHW) pump or an obstruction on the DHW side of the heat exchanger is indicated. More detailed symptoms are component-specific.
What goes wrong and why depends on the SHW system, the climate, and the water conditions. Dave Menicucci, an ex-Sandia National Laboratories engineer, compiled the surveyed results of hundreds of systems that had experienced failures and needed service calls in the past three decades (see "Assembly and Comparison of Available Solar Hot Water System Reliability Databases," bit.ly/SHWreliability). The survey indicated that most problems resulted from component failures. Failures due to installation and maintenance were in the minority.
The fact that valves accounted for the highest percentage of reported problems can perhaps be attributed to hard water and open-loop thermosyphon and direct forced-circulation (DFC) systems. The relatively high problem rates of valves also include a significant number of freeze-protection valves, which are used only in very mild climates, in lieu of true freeze protection, which is accomplished by drainback and antifreeze-based systems.
My company's experience was that controllers and sensors were the major component problem, and pumps were second. Valves were not as much of an issue, but that's likely due to freeze-protection valves being eliminated in most local installations after the late 1980s. The rest of the component problems listed, which fall in the 6% to 16% range, jibe with our field experience.
Modern flat-plate collectors are fairly simple appliances, and durable especially if they are certified by the Solar Rating & Certification Corporation. They experience lifetimes exceeding three decades and can probably last 60 years or more if not abused. That said, these are some problems that can be encountered with collectors.

- Similarly, we are looking for a logo that is simple, contemporary, and elegant, but please additionally add a strong element of creativity (for example, perhaps Andy Warholesque, as shown in one of the images attached);
- we suggest 3 colors (black, white, and a third one that stands out);
- the background should be white;
- please do something creative with the "x" and/or "c" in our name;
- the logo should, in some way, contain a mask (please view the attachment for inspiration);
- overall, the logo should symbolize fun and knowledge, through shared information;
- we also want an insignia, apart from the text, for quick reference (and for quick recognition, as with the horse characteristic to Ferrari, and the bull characteristic to Lamborghini)
- Please create logos containing xCribe and xCribe Media
- A logo that can create a mask out of the C in xCribe would be a logo we would strongly consider awarding the prize to. http://www.neimanmarcus.com/store/c…cat1050731

Cynthia J. Rider Artworks
Exhibited March, 2006
Colorful artworks ranging from botanical realism to Wild West visions by Mesa Art League President CJ Rider were displayed during March in the visitor center gallery at Boyce Thompson Arboretum. Rider spent her early life in a small town on the coast of California. Since those early days, she has visited and lived in many different states, experiencing local flavors from each. The breadth of her work depicts poignant moments and local flavor. Reviewers have commented that her portraits are filled with emotion, her landscapes capture Arizona's rugged natural beauty, and her abstracts touch upon thoughts deeper and more profound.
"I resist being restricted or stereotyped as a certain type of artist," Rider said. "I use whatever medium best suits my subject and I render whatever subject best suites my objective." Rider's award-winning artwork has found its place in homes and businesses across the United States and can be seen in various local displays, shows and galleries.
Rider is a strong advocate for community arts; since her election as president of the Mesa Art League in 2003 she has promoted East Valley galleries, shows, art programs and artists. During the past two years of her leadership Mesa Art League's membership has swelled, and members are now more actively involved in the community.
want this league to embrace the area artisans - to give them a place to work
and to achieve recognition through league displays, competitions and
community ourtreach projects," said Rider, who founded the "Budding Artist Program" where Mesa Art League members volunteer their time and talent to
mentor children in the arts at the Save the Family organization. Rider's dedication was noticed by fellow artists, who nominated her for the 2005 Business in the Arts Award (she was also honored with recognition on the Arizona Commission on the Arts "Kudos" page). A Winter devoid of rain has drained all but earth tones from CJ's beloved desert; fortunately her gallery exhibit offers a lovely glimpse of botany and Sonoran scenes.
"And I encourage visitors to pack a picnic lunch, arrive early and make a day of viewing both the gallery exhibit and the actual catalyst for elements of this show: the indelible scenes around the Arboretum grounds which serve as my muse and inspiration," said Rider.
Correspond with the artist by email to firstname.lastname@example.com,

Manufacturer Woodward (NASDAQ:WWD) unveiled a deal on Friday to acquire an aviation business from blue-chip conglomerate General Electric (NYSE:GE) for $200 million in cash.
Continue Reading Below
The aviation division manufactures hydraulic thrust reverser actuation systems used in commercial aircraft and is projected to generate 2013 revenue of about $150 million.
Based in Duarte, Calif., the aviation business employs approximately 350 people and serves customers like Boeing (NYSE:BA), GE, Safran and the U.S. government.
The acquisition "provides us with expanded motion control technologies and platforms," Woodward CEO Thomas Gendron said in a statement.
In addition to the acquisition, Woodward said it reached a preferred supplier deal with GE for thrust reverser actuation systems.
Woodward said the new division will be integrated into its aerospace business segment, creating operating synergies and opportunities to share technologies and customers.
The transaction, which is expected to close later on Friday, is seen adding to Woodward's bottom line in fiscal 2013.

RN Dockyards, Murmansk and other places
Some miscellaneous photographs from my time in the RN and of the fine ships at the breakers' yard at Cairn Ryan in the 1970s. In addition there are photographs of Murmansk fjord showing the disposal location for ships of the Soviet Navy. Included are a couple of active Soviet ships in the Baltic in 1971 and one or two other things. Plus some pictures of HMS Plymouth downloaded from the Daily Telegraph (I think)Read More

Before I started running, I made sure to ask questions about post recovery drinks, what kind of workouts I should be doing, what goals I should aim for, how to run up hills, etc. Some advice I took right away, others I kept in the back of my mind and had to learn for myself (like why I should stick to 5Ks for a while instead of constantly pushing up my mileage or why months of core work over the winter is so important). And some things I just discovered on my own, like how to run with good form to prevent back issues. One thing I never thought of doing, though, was checking out a book on running because honestly how hard is it? I just hit the road and run, right?
Not really.
I first realized this when I was having a lot of lower back pain after my runs. I ran with a friend once who simply told me to keep my arms lower. I was carrying a lot of tension in my shoulders and I had no idea why. It was because I kept my arms up by my chest when I ran, instead of keeping my elbows at a 90-degree angle and keeping my arms near my waist. Do you know how many people run with T-Rex arms? No wonder my back hurt.
I was reminded of this incident when I looked at this book and thought there might be a lot I could learn about the mechanics of running, how to prevent an injury, and how to run more efficiently. I would recommend to anyone that is starting something new to not only ask questions about what you are doing so you understand it but to also read a book by a credible author(s) so you have a good foundation. The authors of this book are two British women, one who is a 14-time marathon runner and training consultant to the London Marathon and the other is a physical therapist for British athletics. I would really like to share with you what I learned, but I would also highly recommend getting a book for yourself, since the topics I'd like to cover were news to me but I may have left out stuff that would be news to others. This book was just like many other running books out there, so if you'd like to read a running book, don't feel like you have to read this particular one. Just make sure to check the author's background and make sure they know what they are talking about.
Running Drills
I remember doing running drills before ultimate frisbee (we called them plyos). I always just assumed that we were warming up all of our muscles, but in actuality you're mimicking (albeit exaggerating) different motions you make while running. I had never really thought about our plyos this way and will definitely try to incorporate them more into my warm ups. Which brings me to my next point…
Warming Up and Cooling Down
If you're like me, you don't want to waste time warming up. You just want to get in a quick stretch and go for your run, since you'll already be spending 40 minutes running anyway. The authors emphasized the importance of warming your muscles up before running, and walking to the end of your driveway before your run does not count. Along with the running drills, they incorporated some mobilization stretches that release tension and tightness where you're most likely to carry it. What I also found interesting was that running does not put your knee through its full range of motion, so your knee does not get entirely lubricated. They incorporated some running-specific activities to cope with this problem. The authors also stretched the importance of cooling down after runs to bring the body back to its normal state and help remove some of the lactate built up in your muscles. After a sprint workout, try to go right from sprinting to standing - you feel dizzy and nauseous because the blood is rushing around your body at an extremely high pace. You need to cool down after a workout in order to bring your body back to equilibrium. From now on, I'm going to make myself at least jog around the block before setting out on my run, and maybe even ending my run a block or so from my house, forcing me to walk back and cool down.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: I love stretching. I have noticed time after time that when I don't stretch after a frisbee game or a hard run I am exponentially sorer the next day. I knew it helped your muscles recover and repair themselves, but I never knew how. This book allowed me to understand the biometrics of running and in turn why it is so important to stretch. When your feet hit the pavement, your muscles are constantly contracting. Stretching lengthens them back to their normal length and helps realign the fibers within your muscles, preventing your muscles from shortening permanently and putting your joints out of alignment. Also, people tend to stretch only three muscles: the calves, the quads, and the hamstrings. But you're leaving out some of the most important running muscles: the hip flexors and the adductors. I have a whole arsenal of stretches I use after my runs and I usually stretch for at least 15 minutes. Maybe one day I'll just have a whole post on stretching…
Core Stability
Over the winter, I was doing ab workouts 4 days a week to build a strong core. I never really understood why until I went on my first run of Spring. You need a strong core to support your top half and to power your legs. A strong core also gives you good form, which will help prevent injuries. This book taught me that a strong core can also relieve some of the stress on muscles in your legs, such as the muscles in the front of your hip, and keep your pelvis stable while your legs are moving. These exercises are low load and therefore can be done every day, something I'm going to try to incorporate into my morning routine, especially since I'm spending less and less time at the gym since it's been so nice outside.
This is just a fraction of what I learned from this book; there were also sections on nutrition, diagnosing an injury, picking the right running shoe, and how to come back from an injury. I did not go into much detail for the sake of keeping this post short, so please feel free to contact me should you have any questions. For anyone starting something new, whether it's running or cooking or going on your first backpacking trip, I would highly recommend reading up about it first. And after you have this foundation, be sure to always ask about why you are doing something so you have a good understanding of what you're doing.
Disclaimer: The views that I express in this review are my own and I was in no way contacted by the authors or compensated for my time. Again, I picked this book based on the credibility of the authors and if you would like to read up about running, any book at your library written by someone with knowledge of the field would suffice.

Interesting Blog by Michael Lee on Nov 30th!!! The writer is questioning at the end if such controversy incident could become a factor in keeping the Spurs from winning another ring!
San Antonio Spurs Coach Gregg Popovich was correct in looking out for the well-being of his 30-something all-stars Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili and Tony Parker and giving them some much needed rest after playing five road games in eight days. Popovich didn't violate any rules and was well within his rights as a coach to determine who played and who sat in a nationally televised game against the defending champion Miami Heat.
NBA Commissioner David Stern was correct looking out for the league's television partners, whose money is the foundation of a multibillion dollar industry that allows Popovich and his players to live quite comfortably. Stern apologized to fans and fined the Spurs $250,000 for not providing paying customers and home viewers the expected product in a marquee matchup featuring teams that could potentially meet in the NBA Finals.
Both made mistakes in how they handled the circumstances surrounding the Spurs' 105-100 loss on Thursday in Miami. Stern, however, was further out of bounds for his rapid overreaction and indignation in deciding to punish Popovich and the Spurs for running the team as they see fit.
In his 28 years as commissioner, Stern has been able to build the NBA's brand of entertainment on the backs of superstars. The exorbitant contracts from TNT and ESPN came as a result of being able to showcase the top talent. But Stern was quick to condemn San Antonio for using understudies instead of an all-star trio that often has been unfairly labeled as boring and rarely draws large audiences in the first place.
Popovich had no say in releasing a schedule that would place his team in a situation in which it would play the fourth game in five nights against a Heat team that was playing its third game in 12 nights. And he deserves credit for being completely transparent about resting his stars – as well as starter Danny Green – and not assigning them some bogus injury or ailment. Popovich made a mockery of the practice last season, when he sat Duncan and listed the reason as, "Did Not Dress – Old."
But Popovich also thumbed his nose at the league by booking the four players on a Southwest Airlines flight from Orlando to San Antonio and not bothering to bring them to Miami. Though Popovich made a similar move last season before a game in Phoenix, his blatant lack of subtlety in completing a stunt that would embarrass the NBA before a national audience is what set Stern ablaze.
Stern would've been better served to wait before releasing a statement promising "substantial sanctions" before the short-handed Spurs actually played and nearly upset the Heat in one of the more entertaining games of the season. Better yet, he could've handled the situation behind closed doors instead of now taking the NBA down a slippery slope of determining when a team does "a disservice to the league and our fans."
This wasn't the first time a team has rested players, nor is San Antonio the first team to be punished for it. The Los Angeles Lakers were fined in 1985 and 1990 for keeping stars out of games, and it has become a regular late season occurrence for teams preparing for the playoffs – and, frankly, for lottery teams tanking in hopes of getting a higher draft pick.
So, are teams now only able to sit players after qualifying for the playoffs? Is rest no longer an option for older players during a grueling 82-game schedule? Will teams get fined for consistently putting an inferior product on the floor?
And what would the punishment have been if the Spurs won the game?
Stern's decision creates a major hassle for his eventual replacement, Adam Silver. Silver takes over when Stern steps down in February 2014, but he already stated last April that the league would not discipline teams for the practice.:shocked
"The strategic resting of particular players on particular nights is within the discretion of the teams," Silver said then. "And Gregg Popovich in particular is probably the last coach that I would second-guess."
Popovich has helped the Spurs become one of the league's model franchises, leading them to four championships. The Spurs have consistently remained among the elite, even as Ginobili and Duncan get older, but they haven't won a title or reached the NBA Finals since 2007. Popovich has made monitoring health and player maintenance a priority in recent years.
The loss to Miami was just one out of 82, easy to laugh off or dismiss. But in the end, the controversy isn't only about Popovich or Stern. Duncan, Ginobili, Parker and Green were complicit in the game plan, willingly sitting out a game against the defending champions rather than competing. The greater issue is whether that has played any role in keeping them from winning another ring.
Go Spurs Go!
No way will this influence not winning a anothe ring....that is all about consistent performance in the playoffs!

I am a Spanish major right now at an American university and plan to go on and get my phd eventually, but I would like to teach Spanish in France someday. I want to teach in France because I am very interested in learning the language and learning about the culture. Does anyone know a Spanish a teacher in France and how they got their position? Or does anyone know what types of qualifications Spanish teachers normally need in France? I really appreciate any help. Thanks so much! Back to top LuderJoined: 10 Jul 2004Posts: 74 Posted: Tue Nov 15, 2005 3:45 pm Post subject: Spanish teachers are in demand, but assuming you're not a native speaker, I'd say your chances of getting good work teaching Spanish are low. Your real value on the market will be as an English teacher. There's always "soutien scolaire," where the more subjects you can tutor kids in, the more work you can get. But such work pays badly, around 15 euros an hour gross, if that. Another possibility is working in the public school system as a "vacataire," or long-term substitute. The hourly pay is good but the bureaucratic obstacles to finding a job are formidable, more so for foreigners. You can teach only the subject you have a degree in, so if, like me, you're a native English speaker with a degree in Spanish, Spanish is the one subject you can teach. I once applied for different positions teaching English and Spanish at a business school. Strangely enough, I got an interview for the job teaching Spanish but not for the one teaching English. Living in France, on the whole, hasn't much helped my Spanish; indeed, I've lost quite a bit of fluency. For my French, on the other hand, it has done wonders. Back to top hfpardueJoined: 12 Mar 2005Posts: 19 Posted: Tue Nov 15, 2005 4:00 pm Post subject: Luder, thanks for your help. You seem like you might have been in my situation at one time, since you are a native speaker of English, and you majored in Spanish. Did you go on and get a masters or phd in Spanish? What is your job now? What qualifications do I need to become an English teacher in France? I really don´t want to lose my Spanish. I appreciate your taking the time to point me in the right direction. Back to top LuderJoined: 10 Jul 2004Posts: 74 Posted: Thu Nov 17, 2005 12:22 pm Post subject: Okay, Pardue, since I wasn't able to PM you, I'll tell you here that the qualifications you need to be an English teacher in France depend on what kind of English teacher you want to be. To raise a family, have a career, plan for retirement, you probably need French qualifications such as the CAPES or Agrégation. If you're a foreigner, not even a doctorate will suffice, really, unless you do something like marry your dissertation director's daughter. There are all sorts of other ways to be an English teacher in France. "Soutien scolaire" is often done by students and doesn't require a degree. It pays accordingly. The best bet for non-Europeans is probably to work as an assistant de langues in a primary or secondary school (BA required, I think) or as a lecteur in a university (MA required, at least in theory). I myself am doing graduate work in Spanish at a university here. The resources available to graduate students in even the most prestigious French universities pale in comparison to those available at any middle-of-the-road place in the US. For that reason and others, I wouldn't especially recommend doing graduate work in France, though of course you may have to enroll at a university in order to get the right to live and work (part-time) in the country.

So you are doing graduate work in Spanish at a French University? That sounds interesting. What exactly are you getting a masters or phd in? Maybe I should look into that. I don´t know any French, but I´m definitely willing to learn!

I have just posted my first jelly recipe over at my blog (www.smalerie.com), but since a few people over here seemed interested in it, I decided that I should probably post it over here too:
Tea Jelly
500ml of water
4+ tea bags of your choice
sugar to taste (I use raw cane sugar, but I've even used Splenda)
2 packets of agar powder
Prepare tea with brewing method best for tea choice (I say this because I have been scolded many times for letting my water come to a full rolling boil when making green tea). When you brew, shoot for a tea that is about twice as strong as you would normally like without letting it get too bitter. Once tea is brewed (and off the burner), add sugar according to your taste. This is another time when I'd advise that you make it a little sweeter than you would normally like. Once sugar is dissolved, add packets of agar powder one at a time, making sure the first one is completely dissolved before adding the second. Once all powder is dissolved allow to cool slightly before pouring into into a mold or container. Refrigerate until set.
Option: If you like milk in your tea, you can add that too. Just don't boil the milk. Add it when you add your sugar. Just make sure that you use slightly less water to accommodate for the amount of milk you are using. You can also add powdered milk and use the same water measurement.
I have more details about agar and such at my blog, but I hope that everyone tries this out. I make and eat this stuff all the time.
I have a blog about life and bento making in Boston: www.smalerie.com
That sounds wonderful, and perfect for the warmer months upcoming! Thanks for posting it Smalerie :)
The Big Onigiri.
- Wherever you go, there you are. -
I've tried making them with gelatin powder instead (because I bought them last year and I don't know why I did). This jelly is just perfect for the last warmer days of summer in here!
I'd like to add on that if you're using gelatin instead of agar, it still works if you use the gelatin according to manufacturer's descriptions, but gelatin tends to give off this funny smell... so I switched for coffee to mask it. Wait, 4 teabags to 500ml of water? I think I only used 2 for the last batch (with the same amount of water). I'll try this again.. in 10 mins' time.
Your jelly would also become firmer if you use less water. This is better in my opnion, so that you can unmold it and add some toppings to it.
I used 4 bags because I like my tea very strong. My sister has used up to 6. I also don't let the tea brew for too long to avoid it getting too bitter, but really you can just make the tea according to taste.
I'm so glad you posted this Smalerie! I've been stalking jellies for a while now, but it was your post which tipped me over the edge. I don't know why I waited so long, though agar agar is a slight challenge to find in my neck of the woods. But now I have a batch of jasmine green milky tea treats solidifying in my kitchen, so thanks!
This sound interesting (and yummi!)
Generally speaking, do jellies made with agar keep well?
I've had my first experience with agar a few days ago. I made an orange jelly in the evening (with orange juice -from oranges, not carton- sugar, spices, water and agar) and I put it in the fridge. The morning after was fine and also at lunch. However what was leftover in the evening was nasty :§
Maybe it was because the oranges I used were old? Or maybe the spices settled in that cup.
Later I made another experiment with coconut milk, cocoa and grated coconut and the bf appreciated a lot, so it didn't last long enough to test :P
Also, I was thinking: how do they react to being frozen? I was thinking of making small cups of it, freezing them and then put them in my lunchbox in the morning so they defrost by lunchtime and help keeping everything else fresh.
I have never used agar for food, but we use it in the labs all the time. It's what those culture plates are made of, the ones you grow bacteria on. A batch of agar plates, if sterile to start with, will keep at 4˚C (fridge temp) almost indefinitely, so the agar itself doesn't just deteriorate with age. But if not sterile they do make a fine culture medium for all sorts of bacteria and fungi. It's easy enough to make sterile agar jelly if you have a pressure cooker - just pressure cook it for 15 minutes, then pour it onto moulds that have been boiled and cover them loosely until they've set. The only caveat is that if you've added a large amount of sugar to the jelly it may caramelise in the heat of the pressure cooker and change its flavour a bit.
BTW, did you know that the amazing thing about agar jelly is that its melting point is much higher than its setting point? You have to heat it almost to boiling point before it melts, but it stays liquid until it's quite cool, so you don't need to run the risk of burning yourself when you pour it. That's also why it doesn't melt in your mouth the way gelatin jelly does.

sorry, double posting :(
What other things can be done this way???
What CAN NOT be done this way??
~ Begin by knowing you have already arrived ~
my blog - http://honeysheistwisted.blogspot.com/
This sounds wonderful! And thanks to Bronwyncarlisle - I remember where i heard of Agar from, haha.
I think my grandmother and mother would really enjoy this. I'm going to have to make a batch come July =)
Oh yum! I love jelly!!!! Off to look in the cupboards now for my gelatin to make lemongrass and ginger jelly tomorrow!
I just realised I should have been more precise about the sterilising of agar - just in case some of you decide to try it. DON'T pressure cook it just in the pressure cooker the way you'd cook beans or rice. Agar bubbles up shockingly, and if you tried to cook it just in the pressure cooker by itself you'd likely have an explosion.
You put it and the rest of the jelly ingredients in a heatproof container that will fit inside the pressure cooker - a toughened glass preserving or jam jar, something like that. It has to have a bit of headroom too, to allow for any bubbling. You put the trivet and some water in the cooker, loosely cover your jar of water, agar and whatever else you're adding to it with a bit of foil, put the jar onto the trivet in the cooker, then pressure cook it like that. And let it get back to room temp slowly afterwards.
I have been putting off buying agar, just because I wasn't quite sure how well it would translate over to other dishes. But now I will give it a try.
I can see some of my mad money from winning the NCAA office pool going towards some cute little molds, maybe I will share some of the cute little jellies with the guys at work (since it was their money).
Has anybody here tried Mary Jane Butter's Chill over powder? http://shopping.maryjanesfarm.org/s.nl/sc.2/category.41/.f
I remember readign in her book how she came about producing this after readign the ingredients on a Gelatin box. But have never tried it. I wonder if it would work for the Tea jellies
New Bento Enthusiast
My first job was in a Chinese restaurant when I was a teenager, and the Owner's Wife used to give me a treat similar to this in the summertime. It was a bowl of firm jelly squares covered in coconut milk. Usually she would add some sliced fruit too. I'll have to make this jelly and see if I can reproduce that wonderful memory!
Tea Jelly sounds simply delicious! I have a beauitful orange-date tea on hand that I rarely drink, because it takes so long to brew.. it would be very nice as a jelly, as it's very sweet in itself. I could also imagine that turkish apple tea would work great for this - a really sweet treat! And I love the idea of cooling bento boxes with it. Hmm.. I will pop into the supermarket later and get some Gelantine to try.
I worked in a lab in school for some reasearch stuff, and I used Agar Agar to get bacterial colonies to grow FAST.. and since then I can't eat agar agar. I'm sorry, but I can't. ;)

Game Developer Won't Edit 'Aliens vs. Predator' To Appease Australian Censors
from the it's-for-adults dept
"We agree strongly that our game is not suitable for game players who are not adults... it is bloody and frightening, that was our intent."But Australia apparently doesn't have an option for such "mature" content, and Rebellion seems to recognize how ridiculous that is:
"We will not be releasing a sanitized or cut down version for territories where adults are not considered by their governments to be able to make their own entertainment choices."Hopefully, things like this will make Australia reconsider its censorship of such content.

I have decided to continue to blog about my brother as what is happening with him continues to have an effect on how I am traveling this new path of my life while living with RA.
I normally do not discuss how things are effecting me emotionally. I can spout off statistics and everything my doctors tell me, but I do not go into depth in how it changes how I think and how I view the world.
I am going to try to change this. I am not good at analyzing myself: my feelings, thoughts, etc. I am spontaneous and go with the mood I am in at the moment. I have never had a reason to study and reflect why or how those feelings are changing the way who I am.
I feel that I need an outlet for these feelings and emotions or this road God has directed me down will not teach me what He needs for me to learn to become who He wants me to be. I know that everything happens for a reason, there is a season for everything under the sun. How this journey affects me is a lesson that I need to learn, I need to analyze and I need to know. I am not self-centered enough to think this is about me, otherwise my brother would be safe and healthy and I would travel this road for him, which is actually what I would prefer. But I also know that everything that happens to us should teach us something. I need to learn to trust in Him, myself, and my loved ones to open up. Trust has always been a large road block in my travels. It is not something I give freely and even when I do, it is conditional.
Anyway, I have been fairly quiet in the past couple of weeks trying to organize all the information I have gathered to help educate people on RA. But I realize I have spent more time educating and little time really telling how RA affects MY life as I intended. So now I will be more forthcoming and tell the story I intended to tell all along. I hope you will follow along and learn about RA and learn to know me, all the ups and downs, the hurts, angers, frustrations, joys, peace, love, and more trust.
I have decided to continue to blog about my brother as what is happening with him continues to have an effect on how I am traveling this new path of my life while living with RA.

I went to this cool place in Vancouver BC a couple of weeks ago. Nicli. They had it going on with the huge Acunto oven and what appeared to be some very fresh ingredients. Buffalo Mozz, fresh basil and herbs growing in pots Good wine list. Great Service etc etc etc... I was watching the pizzaiolo the whole time... no wasted movements. Fun to watch if you know what I mean. Then they brought out my pizza ( I was sitting at the bar) on a plate with a knife and fork. The waitress said "dig in". I was a little taken back. I started looking around the pie for lacerations... none. When the waitress said "dig in"... she really meant it. So I had a cheap serrated knife and a fork to get after this beautiful pie. I have to admit I didn't know how to start. So my first instinct was to treat the knife just like I would a pizza cutter and put some triangles in this thing. By the time I got finished I was really mad at myself. I took a beautiful pie and turned into something that looked as if a dog got a hold of it. The pie sure was tasty and overall I loved my experience but oh how I wish they would have spent 20 more seconds to cut the thing up. Am I off base here or is this my fault and I should know how to cut a freaking pizza with a knife!Scot
Matt Whats the deal with serving pizza that is not cut. Traditional? And if so... Why? Scot

Baked Pie Shell:
To prepare baked pie shell: In food processor with knife blade attached, pulse flour and salt until well blended. Add cold butter and shortening, and pulse just until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle in ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, pulsing after each addition, just until large moist crumbs begin to form.
With hands, shape dough into disk; wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate 30 minutes or overnight. (If chilled overnight, let dough stand 30 minutes at room temperature before rolling to prevent cracking.)
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. On lightly floured surface, with floured rolling pin, roll dough into 12-inch round. Ease dough into 9-inch glass or ceramic pie plate. Gently press dough against bottom and up sides of plate without stretching. Trim dough edge, leaving 1-inch overhang. Fold overhang under; pinch to form stand-up edge, then make decorative edge. Freeze pie shell for 15 minutes.
Line pie shell with foil or parchment paper, and fill with pie weights, dried beans, or uncooked rice. Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until beginning to set. Remove foil with weights, and bake 13 to 15 minutes longer or until golden. If shell puffs during baking, gently press it down with back of spoon. Cool on wire rack at least 10 minutes. Reset oven control to 350 degrees.
To prepare almond filling: In food processor with knife blade attached, blend almond paste, softened butter, and sugar until smooth. Add eggs, flour, and salt; blend until well mixed, occasionally scraping down side of processor bowl with rubber spatula.
Fill pie shell with almond filling. Bake 30 to 33 minutes or until filling is slightly puffed and golden. Cool completely on wire rack, about 3 hours.
While pie is baking and cooling, prepare Cranberry Topping: In 2-quart saucepan, combine 1 1/2 cups cranberries with sugar, water, and 1/2 teaspoon orange peel; heat to boiling on high. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer 5 minutes or until mixture thickens slightly and most cranberries have popped, stirring occasionally. Stir in remaining cranberries. Set cranberry topping aside to cool to room temperature.
To serve, spoon cranberry topping over almond filling just before serving; garnish with orange peel. Refrigerate any leftovers up to 4 days.

A traffic impact study that county commissioners ordered for a proposed Dollar General store in Horse Shoe is complete. The report says the store would have minimal impact, other than adding to morning rushhour backups near the Banner Farm Road intersection.
Last month, commissioners delayed a rezoning request to allow a 9,100-square-foot Dollar General next to Horse Shoe Baptist Church until developers submitted a traffic impact study. The board will again consider the rezoning at 9 a.m. Wednesday in the Historic Courthouse.
The study submitted to the county and state highway officials by J.M. Teague Engineering of Waynesville says that at full build-out, the Dollar General would "only minimally" increase traffic delays, volumes and backups at the store's entrance and the nearby Banner Farm intersection.
However, some residents question the study's validity. Fred Diehn, who lives next to the proposed retail site, said traffic consultants parked at the church and counted cars for just two hours on April 10, from 9 to 10 a.m. and from 5 to 6 p.m.
"On a Wednesday, so it wasn't even a busy weekend," Diehn said. "This is totally slanted towards development, against the wishes of residents."
Commissioner Grady Hawkins, whose undergraduate degree is in mathematics, said Monday he also wonders about the value of one day's worth of traffic counts.
"They made one sampling and generated 51 pages of data from that," Hawkins said. "Statistically, I don't know how valid that is."
Despite safety concerns voiced by residents and church leaders, the J.M. Teague study found only one crash occurred near the proposed store entrance from March 2003 to February 2013, which the engineers called "likely an anomaly" that "does not represent any particular crash pattern."
Engineers found eastbound traffic on U.S. Highway 64 at the Banner Farm signal might back up past the Dollar General entrance during morning rush hour, blocking store visitors from turning into its parking lot and stopping westbound traffic in the intersection.
Creeping traffic could decrease the gaps between cars such that drivers attempting to pull out into traffic "may be inclined to enter Highway 64, even when not safe," the study said. However, engineers said traffic backups could be alleviated by changing the timing of the Banner Farm traffic light to optimize movement.
In a letter to the county's planning office, the N.C. Department of Transportation agreed with the engineers' report but asked J.M. Teague to report back its recommendations for optimizing timing of the Banner Farm traffic light.
The DOT will also require store developers to reimburse the state for clearing vegetation within the right-of-way to provide better "sight distance" to the west of the store's proposed entrance. The standard formula for safe viewing is 10 feet for every mile per hour the speed limit is, said NCDOT district engineer Steve Cannon.
"If it's posted at 45 (miles per hour), we need to be able to see 450 feet," Cannon said.

As U.S. Soccer wraps up its centennial anniversary celebration in 2013, the Federation on Friday released the U.S. Men's National Team's all-time Best XI.
A voting panel of 57 former players, administrators and media were polled to determine the list which just so happens to feature three former Fire players in Carlos Bocanegra (2000-2003), Brian McBride (2008-2010) and Eric Wynalda (2001).
Wynalda and McBride, who at one point sat first and second respectively on the U.S. Men's National Team's all-time goal scoring list ran away with the two forward spots while Carlos Bocanegra finished third in the vote among defenders behind Marcelo Balboa and Eddie Pope.
The three Fire representatives on the list have appeared in a combined eight FIFA World Cups, amassed 313 caps and tallied 78 goals for the U.S. Men's National Team.
Notable players missing from the list or rather, those that should get Honorable Mentions include goalkeepers Kasey Keller and Tim Howard, defenders Paul Caligiuri and Thomas Dooley, midfielders Michael Bradley and Cobi Jones and forward Earnie Stewart.
See the list below... What do you think?

Jonathan Togo, the 33-year-old actor who plays investigator Ryan Wolfe in "CSI: Miami," is bemused by the celebrity real estate racket. Instead of buying into the hype that he needs more house, more furnishings he won't use and more security in the form of a gated neighborhood, Togo is happy with something smaller and more personal, he says. Two years ago he purchased his first home, a 1,800-square-foot Midcentury pad in the Hollywood Hills, and he asked himself: "What if I got a tiny house and filled it with the best things I love?" Dressed in gym shorts and a T-shirt with a stylized image of Muhammad Ali, Togo leads a tour through his house, where the garage has been converted into a personal boxing gym.
