The following links will be a great help over the next few weeks. Remember it's not all about practicing exam questions. If you can read even one article in Spanish a day or listen to 5 minutes of Spanish Euronews in the morning then you're at an advantage.
Ideally you want to read and listen to as much Spanish as possible over the next month and be sure to pay attention to, not just the vocabulary, but the grammar and sentence structure which will in turn help with writing.
Reading Comprehensions:
http://www.practicaespanol.com/es/noticias/ent/2/ – Good up to date news articles that can be selected according to category and level. You should be focusing on Niveles B and C. You also have the option of listening to the articles.
http://paper.li/THWprofesora/1353097661 – Similar set up to above but without associated exercises.
http://www.veintemundos.com/en/ – Another excellent site with associated exercises and grammar points. There is a listening component with this also.
Listening Comprehension
http://www.notesinspanish.com/spanish-audio/ – Podcasts in Spanish, focus on intermediate and advanced. Some parts are in English, good for idioms at times.
http://www.laits.utexas.edu/spe/ – Native speakers with a variety of accents discussing a range of topics. Again focus on Intermediate and Advanced. Associated key vocab and grammar points.
http://es.euronews.com/ – good for Listening and Reading.
Grammar Revision
http://personal.colby.edu/~bknelson/SLC/ – An old favourite
http://www.spanishdict.com/grammar – Explanations by grammar topic with associated quiz.
http://www.studyspanish.com/ – Good simple but basic explanations with some free quizzes attached
http://www.trinity.edu/mstroud/grammar/- Very good self correcting exercises.
http://www.ver-taal.com/anuncios.htm – Excellent site with grammar, vocab, listening and any other number of other components.

A useful explanation of the difference between the Impersonal and Passive 'Se' for those of you that have an interest. It's not always the easiest thing to get one's head around.

A really helpful post from another Spanish teacher's blog that brings all essay titles together in one post. Good preparation would be to work through these building arguments, vocab and verbs for each.
Pancomido: learning & teaching Spanish
I've gone back in my past papers to 1997 (!), where I also found a sample paper included in the past papers, and I'm putting them altogether here in one place, which is useful for both teachers and students. You can see that from the sample to 1999, there was no choice of title. You will also notice that the earlier titles are more complicated – in relation to vocabulary and understanding the title, rather than the content – than the more recent titles.
The essay is worth 50 marks – 25 for content, 25 for language – which works out at 12.5% of your total mark. It's a good idea to go through the essay titles preparing mindmaps for each, even if you don't actually get to attempt a full essay for each title.

Saturday 22nd
After staying the night in a cottage in St Austell (where my parents resided for the rest of the week) my parents took me to St Levan to have a look for the Scarlet Tanager before boarding the Scillonian. This bird was causing me a great deal of anxiety - it turned up at about the worst time possible for me. I was thinking about what would happen if I was unlucky enough to miss the bird that morning and everybody else see it later on; I was starting to play with thoughts of flying back for a day on Monday. Anyway, we left later than planned and after a few miles I realised that I had left my phone charger in the cottage so we had to return. This meant that I ended up having less than five minutes on site - this time I spent talking to Johnny Allan who had missed the bird the previous day and stayed the night in Cornwall.
My parents and I left and drove to Penzance where my luggage was loaded onto the boat and I boarded after saying goodbye to them. Here I met Rob Stokes, Michael & Dan Booker and Nick & Russell Gardner. All had done the same thing as I that morning. We had no idea how our dilemma would solve itself . . .
Little was going on and by half way point on the crossing only a Bonxie, a Storm-petrel and a few Common Dolphins had been seen. Michael does like to fool around and we didn't for one millisecond take him seriously when he told us there was a Scarlet Tanager on St Mary's, until he flashed the pager in our faces. OH SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!! The atmosphere on board was a strange mixture of extreme excitement and excruciating anxiety. With no sign of the Cornish bird we were in a better position than anyone (apart from those already on Scilly) to see a tanager, but would we see it? Would it be like the Cornish bird and not play ball?
I left my luggage to be delivered to the B&B and Dan, Michael and I managed to snatch a cab - the driver already knew about the bird and where it was - on getting dropped off, birders walking away calmly told us the bird was still showing. We ran to the crowd but there was no show. It was a pleasure to catch up with Jerry & Judy, and Harry Barnard whom I knew from previous years. Time went on but at a much slowed pace and after twenty minutes or so the others decided to go off to look for the Upland Sandpiper and Olive-backed Pipits and Borough Farm. I need these but common sense told me to stay with the mega so I staked it out.
It emerged that the bird had been mobile and it seemed increasingly likely that it had moved on from its last pittosporum hedge. I was thinking about leaving to search likely areas, via the Upland and Olive-backeds when a birder emerged from the adjacent pine belt and informed us that the bird was viewable from in there. We rushed in and yes, phew . . . the dazzling first-winter male SCARLET TANAGER was on view, flitting about in the back of the same pittosporum hedge. Nick and Russell turned up and saw the bird. I tried to call Rob to let them know but couldn't get through. The bird landed in a bare tree quite nearby and then flew over or into the pine belt. I was satisfied and went to find the others and try to mop up on the rest of the rarities on offer.

Time of day was beginning to deteriorate so I made tracks for Lower Moors. I found only two birders, including Viv Stratten, in the ISBG hide and I got a very pleasant surprise when they pointed out that the only snipe on view, only feet away, was the first-winter WILSON'S SNIPE! All snipe are attractive birds and it was fascinating to study the plumage differences between this bird and Common Snipe. Were it not nearly dusk, I would have got some very good photos. Another birder entered and told me a New World warbler friend of mine was showing a short walk away and so I enjoyed brilliant views, for the second time, of the long-staying first-winter NORTHERN WATERTHRUSH as it fed on Shooters' Pool to the annoyance of a nearby Robin. I ate with Rob and the team at the Bishop & Wolf before going to the log where I had the delight on talking to the colourful bunch that is James Bloor Griffiths, Harry Barnard, Jake Aley et al.

Sunday 23rd
A walk around Penninis Head failed to add the Melodious Warbler to my list and produced only a Wheatear. I joined Micheal, Dan and Rob in having second helpings of the UPLAND SANDPIPER but the Olive-backed Pipits were nowhere to be seen. After sitting outside at a nice cafe, enjoying some sausage rolls and cakes the rain set in and this resulted in the destruction of my notebook which was extremely irritating. Little else was had other than about six Black Redstarts at Porthloo, an adult Mediterranean Gull near Toll Porth and a Greenshank which gave Scilly-standard stonking views at Lower Moors. After rumours of a nightjar-type bird at Penninis we stupidly staked it out in the evening in absurb weather before following the same routine as the previous night.

|Black Redstart
Monday 24th
Rob and I started the day off by heading to The Garrison. Unfortunately, the previous day's weather was refusing to budge and we were looking like drowned rats within minutes. The best we managed was scoping a summer-plumaged Great Northern Diver in The Roads. We joined Dan & Micheal at Lower Moors, via Old Town Bay (Merlin, Kingfisher and Greenshank there) where the NORTHERN WATERTHRUSH was feeding before heading to Porth Hellick Beach and successfully seeing Bob Flood's White-rumped Sandpiper - a great bird for the trip list and beautiful to watch.
|White-rumped Sandpiper
I said my goodbyes to R, D & M who were having last looks at Lower Moors and the Upland Sandpiper before getting the Scillonian back to the mainland; cheers guys for the great company! I took a very slow and very disappointing walk through Holy Vale - the best I managed there was a low Peregrine whose wingbeats I could almost feel physically. I had another look at the UPLAND SANDPIPER until the rain set in and I checked Newford Duckpond, Content Farm, the golf course and Porthloo. Three Black Redstarts at Porthloo and a 1st-winter Mediterranean Gull in the same spot as the other day's adult was the best I could find.
The final call of the day was Lower Moors again. I found Pete Denyer, Jamie Wilkinson and Liam Langley here. They were hoping for a view of the Waterthrush but didn't succeed. We did see the WILSON'S SNIPE again, though, this time with Common Snipe for comparison. There was also a Willow Warbler at Shooter's.
This time I enjoyed a burger with Pete, Jamie, Liam, James, Harry etc at the Scillonian Club before the log and banter until we got kicked out at closing time. Fun times.
Tuesday 25th
A Little Bunting had beeped on the pager from Tresco the previous day and there was a nice selection of birds to be enjoyed so the new team of Pete, Liam, Jamie and I planned to get a boat over there in the morning. I walked The Garrison after dipping a Dusky Warbler at Porthcressa, with a Firecrest and a few Siskins to show for my efforts.
|Lesser Yellowlegs
|Spotted Crake
I just about caught the Tresco boat. A first-winter Mediterranean Gull kicked things off over there and we located the juvenile LESSER YELLOWLEGS and the Spotted Crake without too much difficulty. These were two excellent birds to watch and were lifers for all of the team. A Pectoral Sandpiper was a further addition to the increasingly lovely-looking trip list, then the rain set in. For pitty's sake that's the third day of frequent rain! I braved the downpour to renew my supply of cocoa-solids and assorted junk food. Thankfully, blue skies dominated again for a while and we searched Borough Farm for the bunting to no avail. Time was running out so we headed to New Grimsby to get the boat back to Mary's. The others went to look for the waterthrush (failing again) and I had a final unsuccessful look for this nightjar thing before another fun evening. While browsing the web on my laptop I noticed a lot of Scilly messages on RBA that my pager had completely missed, these included a Radde's Warbler on St Agnes, an Osprey over St Mary's and updates on things like the Upland Sand. This obviously concerned me and I emailed RBA.
|Pectoral Sandpiper
|Liam, Pete, Jamie & James (L->R)
At last a clear and pleasant day. I didn't have time for any birding before getting the boat to St Agnes for the warbler. Dick Filby from RBA rang me just as we were leaving the quay and offered a week's free full service on his new app as a substitute for my broken pager. He was very kind and helpful, I can thoroughly recommend RBA as a service that puts itself out to make sure you get the news as efficiently as possible. Anyway, James, Harry and I got to St Agnes and connected with the showy (by the species's standards) Radde's Warbler near Troy Town. I was delighted to finally nail one of these elusive blighters. They don't turn up in the south east that often but I have twitched a couple and failed miserably. Paul Gale and I found ourselves a bit lost on our way to see the Bluethroat, but this was good in the end because as we were walking along I heard the call of a Lapland Bunting which then showed well in a grassy field. I fell behind Paul after searching out a chat which turned out to be a Black Redstart and after a while found the spot for the star chat. As I was walking towards the gathering a bird plopped down on the grass in front of me - jeeze it was the Bluethroat! And, oh lovely, a good male too! I called everyone over and they got on it. It played hard to get, as it was mobile and elusive underneath a layer of burnt gorse. Liam, Jamie and Pete rocked up after arriving on a slightly later boat and connected with the bird - a lifer for them. I then took them to the Radde's spot and the bird was much more elusive. They all saw the bird but I don't think they were happy enough with their views to tick it. We also called in at Pereglis and had educational views of an educational Lesser Whitethroat which could well be minula.
|Lapland Bunting
We got a late boat back to St Mary's and, seeing as the others hadn't picked up the NORTHERN WATERTHRUSH yet, we made our way to Higgo's Pool where it had been showing on recent evenings. A loud 'clink' call gave us a clue to its presence and it plonked itself on the little muddy pool to everyone's utter delight!
Northern Waterthrush
Thursday 27th
|Pied Flycatcher
I didn't get to wander 'Aggy' as I had wished to so decided to get the boat there again in the morning. J, L & P also wanted to return there to have another go for the Radde's. I started with an ineffectual bash of Gugh - Black Redstart and little else.There was no sign of the Bluethroat or warbler unfortunately but Liam and I jammed in on a Richard's Pipit (which was sadly flushed by a photographer before I could get any pics myself) and got a good look at the Lapland Bunting again. A Pied Flycatcher in The Parsonage was almost as good. Five Black Redstarts and a Willow Warbler were the best I could find myself. I got much better views of the eastern Lesser Whitethroat and some far better pics (Wednesday's were a pure blur). Pete and Jamie had already returned to Mary's and Liam and I got the 4.30pm boat again. It resolved that Jamie's decision was a good one for him, as just after Liam & I got back to Hugh Town he rang me and said 'Hi Dave there's a Red-eyed Vireo near Porth Hellick House, and guess who found it? Yours truly' I congratulated him and we pegged it over there. I tried to call a cab but couldn't get through. It was a pretty long treck at such a late point in the day but it turned out fine as we joined the crowd and ended up getting crystal clear views of Jamie's very own RED-EYED VIREO! He was chuffed to bits and filled out his form that evening at the log. He deserved his find; he kept saying he was sick of waiting around for birds already found and wanted to 'actually do some birding'. Well done Jamie, thanks for the tick - a valuable one as there's very very few records in Teacher's Week!

Friday 28th
|Golden Plover
I met Liam after breakfast and we went for a walk around the southern part of St Mary's. A Kingfisher whizzed by at Old Town and we got a shock when we kicked up a Short-eared Owl from heather by the airfield. Three Golden Plovers, a couple of Black Redstarts and a Clouded Yellow were very confiding in the same area and I finally got a view of a Yellow-browed Warbler at the Porth Hellick Loop where three Ravens flew over. A Firecrest showed well at Carreg Dhu gardens - to Liam's delight; he needed it! At last he will no longer turn up at a twitch and ask in excitement 'Did you say there was a Firecrest about!?!?' We were planning on heading possibly doing Content Farm then Lower Moors when Jamie rang to pass on news of a Red-breasted Flycatcher at Holy Vale. Liam jogged on and I just kept up a fast walk. It turned out it had only been seen relatively briefly, I gave it a little time before joining Adam Norgate and James for a search for the Richard's Pipit at Porth Hellick Down, which didn't result in any sight or sound of our quarry. We popped in at The Dairy Cafe to have a quick look at a Crimson Speckled moth and met later at the Scillonian Club for the last log of the Scilly Season 2011 and a few games of darts and pool, another brilliant evening.
|moth grip-off - Crimson Speckled
Saturday 29th
|the first shot I've ever managed of Common Dolphins
The morning started off slowly, after having breakfast and sorting out my luggage I had to do a couple of things in town before collecting the Essential Guide to the Birds of the Isles of Scilly from Nigel Hudson and dropping it off at the B&B. I dropped my scope a couple of times which didn't do my mood any good, then I went off to Lower Moors and put my foot right in a deceptively shallow/firm bit of mud. Goo and swampy water flooded into my boot which was stuck there and I started to lose my rag. I dipped the Dusky Warbler, again, but got a good look at a Yellow-browed Warbler and heard a Reed Bunting. The Red-breasted Fly had been seen once more at Holy Vale so I popped over there but got only fly over Raven and Siskins. With no more time for birding I returned to Hugh Town to pick up my rucksack from the B&B (finding a Whinchat on the way), had a rest at Porthcressa beach and got on the Scillonian III for its voyage back to the mainland. It was sad leaving but in all fairness I was utterly nackered after an intense week that seemed a lot longer than a week. No sea creatures of any note other than a pod of Common Dolphins kept us company on the return sailing.
|some of the rarest birds were found in the islands' museum
I met my parents at Penzance and we drove home through the night without any trouble, getting back early this morning. I lay in until 11.00am and slowly headed out to Canons Farm where a Brambling or two was with large numbers of finches. I'm looking forward to the next week or so, early November is prime time for CFBW birding.
Thanks to my parents for this trip and to all the birders on the islands for all their excellent company. As I said it has been one of the best birding weeks of my life and I cannot think of a six hour period as productive and rarity-filled as that first afternoon when I got on St Mary's last Saturday. The birds were excellent, the evenings at the Scillonian Club were a hoot and the experience amazing as always. I'm looking forward to my next visit...!

The study on the Understanding of Chinese society towards Genre in this paper is verymuch influenced by Tao philosophy and Confusianism in the reign of Chou Dinasty. The core of Tao philosophy and Confusianism is the effort to reach life harmony between human being and the univerce. The harmony between human being and the univerce is energized by yin-yang. Yang represent among others sky, sun, day-time, male, fire, active, excitement characters. Yin represent among others earth, night-time, female, moon, cold, water and sadness characters. The Understanding of Chinese society towards Genre is in line Tao philosophy and Confusianism, namely regarding the role of women as "subservient". Chine society in Pecinan Semarang regard this genre role can be classified through Chine society live in Semarang namely pure-blooded Chinese and non pure-blooded Chinese. Pure-blooded Chinese regards woman has role only in domestic scope. Non pure-blooded Chinese regards woman has the same role as man. At the present time Chinese society begin to realize that woman can actively participate in many fields such as in politic, economy, social and culture

***True Colors by Tula Pink - Wildflower - Delphinium - Yardage - "PREORDER for OCTOBER ARRIVAL"
Place your order now for the October Arrival!
Item Number: PPWTP149.DELPHINIUM
Size: 43"/44"
Brand: FreeSpirit Fabrics
Designer: Tula Pink
Collection: True Colors
Description: True Colors by Tula Pink for Free Spirit Fabrics. "True Colors" is a collection of designs that are available in the core colors that make up the World of Tula Pink. These essential pieces are designed to highlight and enhance the pieces in Tula's fabric collections. Each piece of True Colors is designed to serve a specific purpose in support of her fabric collections and also to stand on their own as a vibrant expression of color and print. This year four new prints are added to the already established Poms and Stripes. These pieces are replenish-able and are used to build a solid foundation that my other collections do and will continue to rely on. "Fairy Dust", which we met in the Pinkerville collection proved so vital as a background print that it exploded out into a collection of bright pastels that create a perfect backdrop to the bolder colors of my other fabrics. The print colors largely stay the same as the original while the background colors have been selected in soft ghost colors of their more saturated counterparts. It's tossed design is non directional with plenty of interest. No one ever said that a background needed to be boring. "Mineral" is a new print that uses lines to create a densely detailed interpretation of natural stone formations like agate or malachite. The background color and line color visually combine to create a textured solid that changes in mood as you approach it. "Wildflower" is a bold silhouette of tangled blooming vines in high contrast color combinations. These florals are not meant to blend in but to highlight interesting color combinations that can kick start a quilt and bring the whole thing to life. The final print is called "Hexy" and comes in two variations. There are eight 3 color versions and 4 rainbow ombre versions. Both versions of Hexy serve the same purpose, to add a hard geometric to the two existing ones in Poms and Stripes. The three structured pieces nicely balance the three new organic designs.

The liver is an amazing organ, it's the top dog of digestion, is one of the main organs responsible for detoxifying our bodies and deserves our undying love and respect.
When your liver is clogged and unhealthy, you will experience dense emotions such as anger and frustration. In Chinese medicine, the liver is recognised as the base of emotions, restoring liver health will restore the healthy flow of emotions and energy.
Liver cleansing is a powerful path of healing, which transforms the lives of those who are disciplined enough to follow the necessary steps of liver healing. It has played a crucial role in my recovery from systemic candida and parasite infections.
It's important to note, that if your liver is very toxic, you may experience some healing reactions throughout this process, particularly that of the emotions. You may feel bouts of sadness and anger, but this is a normal part of the healing journey.
Below is a summary of the full cleansing detox:
1. Support and Detoxify Your Liver With Supplements and Herbs
Throughout a liver cleanse, it's important to support your liver with herbs and supplements. Not only do they protect your liver and improve overall function, they also help in boosting the liver's natural detoxification mechanisms.
Milk thistle
Milk thistle protects the liver and aids in normal liver function, you can feel the benefits very quickly. It's safe to use milk thistle for up to 3 months at a time.
Alpha Lipoic Acid
ALA is a powerful antioxidant, which helps in reducing liver fibrosis and regenerating liver cells.
B Vitamins
Vitamin B plays an important role in protein and fat metabolism, as well as synthesis and repair of DNA. They are not stored well by the body, so low dose supplementation of B vitamins is useful during your liver cleansing.
Dandelion is a diuretic and great for supporting the liver while doing a liver cleanse. Dandelion tea is very robust with a coffee like flavor and I would highly recommend it.
Chanca Piedra
This is my personal favorite liver detoxing herb, it sure does pack a punch! Chance Piedra is a very powerful herb found in South America and South East Asia. It's earnt the name 'Stone Crusher' for a reason, chanca piedra can soften and crush liver stones, as well as decongest the liver. It's perfect to take along with Apple cider vinegar, in preparation for a liver flush.
2. Modified Diet
You can't heal your liver on a deep fried, fast food diet, it requires a change of mindset and adapting a new lifestyle.
Stay away from alcohol, fried foods, sugar, excess salt and red meat.
Here's a few things to include in your liver cleansing diet:
Garlic helps to activate liver enzymes which aid in detoxification, it is also a parasites worst enemy.
Fatty Fish
Rich in Omega acids, fatty fish helps to reduce inflammation.
Plant Foods
A diet blessed with plenty of plant foods is best for a liver detox diet, including:
Carrots, avocado, papaya, banana, greens such as spinach and kale, lemon , watermelon, broccoli, cauliflower
3. Cleanse Parasites
Before you start a liver flush, you should do a parasite cleanse first. Liver flushing with liver full of parasites is nowhere near as effective, you won't pass as many (if any) stones and ridding the body of parasites is pivotal for restoring your health.
There are conflicting opinions on this matter; Andreas Moritz believed killing parasites is not worth it, considering the toxic load they leave behind. Personally, I had a liver fluke infection and killing the parasites was crucial in my recovery.
4. Flush and Detoxify Your Liver
The liver makes around 1 quart of bile per day, which is funnelled through biliary tubes and brought to the common bile duct. As well as bile in the liver, the gallbladder is essentially a small reserve of bile on standby for digestion to occur. When fats are consumed, the liver and gallbladder get the signal to release a load of bile, in order to aid in digestion.
A liver flush takes advantage of this function in order to cleanse the liver and gallbladder of stones and toxins.
The liver flush cleanse procedure begins with preparation. Drinking apple cider vinegar and taking some other herbs (such as chanca pieces) for a couple weeks prior to the flush, will help soften stones and decongest the liver.
On the day of the flush, a tablespoon of Epsom salts is taken twice, in order to dilate the bile ducts, allowing for stones to pass through more easily. Follower by a mixture of oil and lemon. The liver and gallbladder get the signal and the extremely fatty beverage tricks the liver into flushing out more bile than usual, resulting in a torrent of bile being expelled from the liver and gallbladder. This torrent of bile ejects liver and gallbladder stones, as well as liver congestion.
It's recommended to wait 2-3 weeks between each flush, as a liver flush is not a gentle procedure and time should be allowed for the liver to recuperate before the next one.
I can't stress enough how powerful this procedure is, and there are many others who have healed their ailments with the help of liver flushing.

5. Colon Cleanse Before and After a Liver Flush
It must be stressed how important it is to cleanse the colon, both before and after a liver flush, as well as colon cleansing during any other form of liver detoxification. This can often be overlooked, but is a crucial step in the liver cleansing protocol.
The colon and liver have a sort of communication system. In order for the liver and gallbladder to know when to release bile to aid digestion, the colon is lined with reflex points which send signals to the liver and gallbladder. If the colon is blocked up and congested, the colon will essentially signal to the liver and gallbladder to not release bile, a kindly reminder that the body is not ready for more food.
If you omit this step and flush the liver without colon cleansing first, liver stones and toxins can get stuck in your digestive track post flush, causing toxemia.
Cleansing the colon after a liver flush is even more important. The function of
Liver flushing is a mechanical action; flushing the liver of stones, toxins and parasites. These are dumped into the digestive system, to be expelled from the body. Without following a liver flush with a colon cleanse, you risk toxemia. The toxic load, if not removed, will circulate through the blood stream; causing toxic systems and re-entering and stressing the liver.
6. Coffee Enemas
The thought of putting coffee, uh, in the opposite end, is something that can easily gross people out. But coffee enemas are miraculous for detoxifying and can be a true life saver. The benefits and relief I have seen through coffee enemas have been profound.
When you are fighting parasites, candida or Lyme, the liver can become overburdened with a toxic load; unable to flush out the toxins fast enough on its own.
Coffee enemas rapidly boost liver detoxification, stimulating detoxification enzymes and dilate the bile ducts, resulting in a sort of mini liver flush.
The amount of coffee enemas you should do, really depends on how toxic you are… As you go through healing path you will become very intuitive to this. Generally 1 or 2 coffee enemas per week is plenty, but if you are dealing with a huge toxic load it could be more.
Be sure to replenish electrolytes, as they are depleted through coffee enemas.

Courses/all-in-one publishing
Structure of the course
- Day 1: intro, overview of our project and a walkthrough of the challenges we encountered. Take a look at the publications that students want to use and see how similar or different their workflow will look. Give motivated students the suggestion to start implementing html structure already at home.
- Day 2: refreshing Day 1 content, working on student projects focussing on HTML structure and design
- Day 3: working on student projects focussing on print and e-reader output
In the classes following the intro, we open the output and the code that we created for that medium and start discussing some of the decisions we made and why we made them in the order in which they come up. We may also illustrate the problems by recreating them on the fly. We ask for alternative solutions to some of the problems.
About our process
A short introduction to the process. Structured source file -> structured HTML -> Design in CSS -> convert to different formats with pandoc
Why like this?
- The source can be updated at any time and exported again in all kinds of formats
- No separate teams needed to design for the different media
- Streamlined coöperation between authors, editors and designers. Changes in the content can be made without help from the designer
- Open standards: cheap, reliable and future-proof
Important factors
- Recognize and utilize each medium's unique aesthetics and features
- The different outputs should complement each other, not compete
Semantic HTML
After the intro we take a look at what we made, just to show what can be done. After this, the focus is on semantic HTML. Our first order of business is to introduce semantic html and why we need it. HTML tags should indicate structure, not mark-up! We could even say that the name shouldn't be HyperText Markup Language, but rather HyperText Structure Language.
The basic advantages of semantic html
- It looks cleaner, which makes working with it easier (especially as a team).
- It works much better for screen readers and similar devices for people with disabilities
- It ranks higher in search engines
- It makes your content much easier to restyle or use for different purposes
Suggestions for the 'regular' website
- Keep the html structure as logical and semantic as possible
- Use relative positioning and measurements (% and em)
- There are no pages! How do you deal with this? What do you do with the cover?
- It doesn't have to be linear anymore
- Use a 'reset.css'
- Limit text-width (60-120 characters)
- Create a menu from the index using anchor tags
- Select fonts with proper online license and readability
- Add interactive elements like tooltip footnotes <- be creative!
Suggestions for making it responsive
- Set the default viewport (<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" /> )
- Add media queries for several widths, test at what width your design breaks.
- Use a browser with device emulation for testing (Chrome for example)
- In most cases, the width of your content should be 100% on smaller screens
- Make buttons for thumbs, not cursors. Hovers work differently!
- Don't imitate apple or android specific interfaces, but do use apps as inspiration. If the interaction with your site feels as 'snappy' on smartphones as a well-made native app, you did a good job.
- Optimise screen space, hide what is not essential
- If it is possible ask authors to write short abstracts for every chapter, so that users can choose when they want to read more or not.
- Test on several real devices! Browsers may be able to imitate the looks of mobile devices, but how it actually 'feels' may be very different!

text:
DENVER (AP) – He kneels in prayer at times when many players would be pounding their chest, and is winning with a style the experts insist cannot work for long.
Tim Tebow's formula for success and fame is not typical for the NFL. So, is it a football miracle? Or the perfect blend of luck, timing and big plays? That's the debate that makes the tale of the Denver Broncos quarterback one of the most compelling stories in America these days.
Hardly anyone stands on neutral ground when it comes to the purveyor of this unorthodox mix of throwing mechanics, big-time sports and devout religion, a 24-year-old Christian who is the subject of comedy skits on Saturday nights and serious sermons on Sunday mornings.
But what most people will agree on is that it's hard to take your eyes off Tebow these days – a man who unapologetically uses football to take his message beyond the field while also taking his team on an unexpected ride through the playoffs.
"I'm just very thankful for the platform that God has given me, and the opportunity to be a quarterback for the Denver Broncos – what a great organization," Tebow said after his latest shocker – an 80-yard touchdown pass on the first play of overtime Sunday to beat Pittsburgh 29-23 in the wild-card playoffs.
The play, according to Twitter, spawned a record 9,420 tweets per second.
Not lost in that flurry was that Tebow threw for 316 yards and set an NFL playoff record by averaging 31.6 yards. That's "316," as in John 3:16, one of the most-often cited Bible passages for Christians, the most widely searched item on Google for much of Sunday night into Monday, and the message Tebow used to stencil into the eyeblack he wore when he played college ball at Florida.
Not that referencing the Bible or thanking God is anything new in sports. After NFL games for years, a small group of athletes gather around midfield, kneel, hold hands and pray. That devotion has been largely ignored or even criticized by media and fans.
"The thing with Tebow is that he seems more genuinely religious than most athletes, who seem to be religious to win games," said Clifford Putney, author of the book "Muscular Christianity: Manhood and Sports in Protestant America, 1880-1920."
That might help explain why Tebow's gestures are not being overlooked, but part of an ever-growing sensation. It started building when he won the Heisman Trophy and two national titles at Florida, though he was steeped in strong religion well before that – born in the Philippines to missionary parents.
More recently, he introduced mass culture to the art of "Tebowing" – kneeling on one knee, elbow perched on the other, fist to forehead – while chaos is erupting around him. The practice now has its own website, with pictures of people Tebowing in a research lab, in front of the Sydney Opera House, in front of the Western Wall in Jerusalem, etc.
Entertaining as all that has been, it has made fans and the media rethink the way they judge and cover their sports stars. Reporting that a player was including the Lord in his postgame analysis has long been widely thought of as trite and inappropriate, something to simply skip over when typing in the quotes.
Tebow's five fourth-quarter comebacks and his four overtime victories – each more improbable than the last – and his steady, genuine, yet somehow unassuming insistence on bringing God into the conversation has forced an uncomfortable question upon those who want to make it only about what happens between the lines.
Does God really care about football?
"Not one whit," said Joe Price, a professor in the religious studies department at Whittier College. "But does God care about people who play football? You betcha."
In a sports season filled with unsavory stories – NFL and NBA labor wars, child sex abuse scandals at Penn State and Syracuse, and a baseball MVP accused of using steroids – Tebow is seen by many as a sports star who really could be a role model, contrary to what Charles Barkley or anyone else might say.
But the Tebow angst still exists, in large part because there is seemingly no way to analyze what he does on a football field without religion seeping into at least some part of that analysis.
Opine about his unorthodox throwing motion – widely derided by scouts and coaches and seemingly more suited for tossing a boomerang than a football – and the quick assumption becomes that you might not like him because of his religious beliefs.
Defend him as a winner who cares less about conventionality and depends more on moxie than mechanics – well, then you must be drinking the Kool-Aid, a Tebow fan because you're in line with his Christian beliefs.

"I still have doubts about him as a long-term answer, as I think most reasonable people do," said radio host Sandy Clough, who has been manning Denver's sports talk shows for more than 30 years. "Does one game, if he plays well, not only invalidate his play from the other (bad) games but anything anyone's ever said about it? Well, no it doesn't. It's all part of the mix. It's a fascinating mix. He's the toughest player I've ever had to analyze, because there are all these extraneous factors you have to bring in."
Sensing the excitement and loving his message, Tebow is also being courted by Republican presidential candidates. The quarterback recently told The Associated Press he's been asked by more than one of the contenders for his support. He wouldn't name names, but did say he'd declined the offer.
"I think you have to have so much trust in who you support, just from product endorsements to endorsing a candidate because if that person or company does something (bad), it reflects on you," said Tebow, who's a pitchman for Nike, Jockey and FRS energy drink.
Tebow has, however, placed himself in the political realm before – two Super Bowls ago when he starred in a Focus on the Family commercial with his mother sharing the story of how she gave birth to him in the Philippines in 1987 after spurning a doctor's advice to have an abortion for medical reasons. After being criticized for that ad, he didn't do an encore and instead tries to toe the line of showing his religion without shoving it down people's throats.
That hasn't stopped people from mocking him – and worse.
After Tebow was particularly bad in an ugly loss to Buffalo on Dec. 24, comedian and talk show host Bill Maher sent out a tweet that basked in the QB's misfortune, blaming Jesus for the loss. "And on Xmas Eve! Somewhere in hell Satan is tebowing, saying to Hitler `Hey, Buffalo's killing them,'" Maher tweeted.
Maher, in turn, was roundly ripped for the post.
Less toxic was the recent skit on "Saturday Night Live," where "Jesus" materializes in the locker room with an actor portraying Tebow, admits he is pulling some strings during these Bronco games, then after being told the New England Patriots are next on the schedule, suggests Tebow substitute his playbook, "the holy Bible," for one with some Xs and Os.
The "SNL" Jesus also concedes that he, personally, prays to the Broncos place-kicker, Matt Prater, whose excellence has defined what the Tebow sensation has been about for most of this season: a bunch of teammates, motivated by a less-than-perfect leader who never gives up, coming together and picking each other up when the going gets tough.
A great story line that has held most of the year.
The twist on Sunday, though, was that for the first time this season, it could reasonably be argued that Tebow was a one-man show. In the win over Pittsburgh, he completed five passes of 30 yards or more. And with his defense struggling, he threw a perfect strike for the game-winner to receiver Demaryius Thomas, who didn't have to change his stride and, thus, ran untouched into the end zone.
"He was the same Tim, calm and collected," Thomas said. "He took it one play at a time and was in the huddle and said, `It's either we win or we go home.'"

More than the excitement Tim Tebow brings to the game is the fact that young boys finally have a role model in sports. This talented young man has the character, morals, ethics and compassion that is so rare in so many yet packaged into one human being. He serves as an inspiration to young and old alike.
to good folks in denver
your Q-B is a winner bottom line
the line knows it
the receivers knows it
the defence knows it
I have had the pleasure of watching this kid in collage.
he has that special kind of demenor in the huddle and on the field.
and folks iam from the sec i know what a winner looks like.
tim tebow is a winner……..
More people watched the Denver vs Pittsburgh game on Sunday than any other first round playoff game since 1988; 43 million viewers, I think I read. How awesome would it be if just 25% of those viewers paid $25 to become members of the Tim Tebow Foundation and get a Tebow T-Shirt. For those "iffy" at math, that would be almost $269 MILLION dollars for the world's poorest children.
I hope Tebow doesn't go political.
Bears fan but rooting for Tebow!
BTW, I think it's smart that he chose not to endorse a candidate, I can't say the same thing for most of the actors in Hollywood.
John 3:16 was the #1 search on yahoo yesterday. Tebow winning really has less to do than football and more about Tebow's platform which is getting the message of the Cross to the world.
I have a novel idea… leave the religion in church and at home and just play the damn game! Really, just play the game and leave the theatrics out of it.
The kid is probably right. Politicians I support over the years always end up supporting the left directly or indirectly. It's been a real waste of time. Most of them have a problem with womanizing.And if I can refrain from womanizing, they certainly can.
The Broncos cheerleaders are demeaning to women. Tebow ought to criticize them.
Why do you think he has to judge people?
very smart to stay away from endorsment,
God actually does care about football! God even cares who wins the Super Bowl! Listen to this if you disagree: http://newlifeindavie.com/media/sermons/does-god-care-who-wins-the-super-bowl/
When asked what God thinks about football Teabow replied, "God doesn't care who wins football games."
That put the game in the correct context. Teabow's Faith is personal, and he has a right to express it any way he wants, anywhere he wants, those who would destroy the 1st Amendment not withstanding.
Her is what the COS was talking about!
[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NiVlcjWBj00&w=420&h=315%5D
FABULOUS! What COS was talking about , YES! Also what Tebow talks about : TEAM….notice that they wore colours and numbers NO NAMES….it was about the TEAM! not all flash and fame. Thank you jd for a GREAT link:
Hey liberals – did you know that Muslims love Jesus, too? They believe he is a great teacher. Does that make it ok to attack Muslims and tell them their faith in God is stupid and wrong, like you do with Christians? Or are you just the cowardly hypocrites we all know you are and will only attack those you see as easy prey that no one (important) will defend? Why not see if you can tolerate Christians like you do Islam? Then you wouldn't have to spew hate and judgement at so many. Wouldn't that be much nicer?
People dislike Tebow becuse he is the antithesis to all the lame athletes that walk around saying "I'm not a role model, I'm not a role model". You guys are right, you're NOT role models….but this young man is and you can't stand him for it. It shows you all for what you really are. Did you ever stop to think that just MAYBE if you acted more like this, then you just might get a little more respect from the fans. No, of course not. Because, you're all too busy trying get people to accept your immoral lifestyles and fat undeserved paychecks rather than change your life for the better.
I was a huge Bear fan in the mid 1980's with Ditka at the helm (and I was from Chicago). After that I slowly lost interest as more and more disrespectful thugs and bling freaks took over the game. I am now RE-BORN and fully engaged! GO TIM!!!
You're analysis that if you criticize his throwing motion "you must be against him because of his religion" and if you cheer him for winning, "you must be drinking the Kool-Aid" is FAULTY. First, if you analyze a "golf swing" for example and say well this guy doesn't look like Sam Snead or Tiger or whoever, that's one thing. But if the guy WINS 7 TOURNAMENTS IN A ROW, and you're still criticizing his "swing", theres something wrong with YOU. Either you think yourself all powerful and believe DESPITE EVIDENCE TO THE CONTRARY that golf can only be played one way, the evidence suggests that you're an IDIOT or have a personal AXE TO GRIND with say , "Jim Furek" who's swing looks like an attack with said AXE! But nobody still criticizes Furek's swing. Because he WINS. But STRANGELY ENOUGH even while Teebow was WINNING he was STILL BEING CRITICIZED. You're article left out all of the athletes that have told him that "he needs to shut up" about his religion! And if an athlete says that GOD gave him the victory WHO THE HELL ARE YOU MORONS IN THE PRESS TO SIMPLY "SKIP" OVER THAT WHEN TYPING THE QUOTE????? That's HIS OPINION of why HE won! You're liberal STUPIDITY betrays you.
wow. Sorry for all of the You're vs your confusion in the above post! SMH
Exactly! If Tim Tebow wants to give the "glory" to God, why does it offend? At least he is following his faith to its logical conclusion: God blessed me with skill, He allows me another day another play….God gets the glory. Very simple really. "If my people which are called by my name…." see II Chronicles 7:14….Tim Tebow is reasonable, haters are not.
Real men don't endorse slimy politicians.
It amazes me the venom of those who hate the message Tebow is sending! he is an inspiration whether he wins or loses the next game. But I think it;s eerie if not coincidental the stats of this game and belieive that God is sending a message. God may not care a whit about football games but found the venue that would show the world who is still in charge here and appreciates the piousness of Tebow and the miracle of his background when his mother fought the doctors in order to keep her pregnancy with him! Wonderful story!
Tebow is using your hatred against you. You hate his faith. Hatred makes people weak and it makes them make mistakes. He knows your hatred has no power over him and so it turns on you. Needs someone to attack, doesn't it?
Tim is an inspiration.. if people of all ethnic backgrounds and all faiths are inspired to be good moral examples as Tim Tebow, I think it's a worthy example.
I pray Tim stays strong and I wish him good football play! Go Tim Tebow! Go Broncos!
If you hate Tebow, what does that say about your life? Tim Tebow has done nothing malicious or harmful to anyone. I feel sorry for people like Bill Maher who must live with a lot of hate and resentment.
Like the religion professor in the article said, God doesn't care about a football game. But maybe God uses the football game as a grand stage for one of His most devout followers to spread His message.
You don't have to believe in the message Tebow conveys. But save yourself the pain that the bile pent up inside can create.
Tim Tebow is Rosa Parks.
He is the VOICE of the Aborted and the Haters on the Left are cut to their hearts and souls by the evidence TIM presents that EVERY aborted fetus COULD have impacted the World.
yeah, negatively, he sucks, all he does is preach his garbage from the sideline and gets lucky on the field, plain and simple!!!!!!!!!
I'm glad to learn the Tim won't be endorsing any candidates.
down with Denver, down with Denver, hope Tebow can't play on Saturday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lost in most commentary (but not to Tebow) is that what has developed with Tim is highlighted numerous times throughout the Bible when God uses ordinary men to accomplish extraordinary things defying the "logic or expectations" of man so that through it He will be glorified. Moses (murderer, afraid to speak in public), David (adulterer, murderer, etc), Peter (hothead), fishermen, tax collectors, etc.
What is really funny is that the focus on the New Testament (Tebow) has taken the focus off the Old Testament (the Defense). OG can't hold a candle to OT and the group led by Dennis Allen, Von Miller, etc (biased as I am an Aggie) is a prime example of Old Testament vengeance, aggression, and domination as inspiring as the New Testament side of the ball!
Actually, what you have with the team is the perfect combination of the judgement of the Old Testament combined with the inspiration and hope of the New Testament. And that makes for some exciting storylines.
Disclosure: No, Tim isn't a messiah and the professor said it best, God doesn't care about football, but he dang sure cares about all of those that play it.
I'm a Bears fan but did not mind losing to Tim Tebow. I'm a fan of TimTebow. Wish him and the Broncos the best of luck. We need more Tim Tebow's in sports and in the world.
Hey I'm a 50 yr old Chiefs fan but cheering on Denver and TEBOW all the way!!! Also my 16 year old daughter sees a shining example of a dedicated christian guy. And no they dont all have to be pro athletes, just true to Christ.
I do hope they go all the way!!!!!!!
316 very appropo!
A while ago, Bill Cosby dismissed the critics by comparing Tebes to Joe Kapp. I'll listen to the Cos.
Tebow reminds me of Lou Gehrig as an athlete. Lou strong, with a good batting eye, who worked very,very hard to learn his first base position. He also adjusted his swinging style to raise his batting average. No power hitter has ever hit most consistently than Gehrig. Tebow has that same work ethic. If he gets to stay the course, he will get better technically. Another thing he seems to share with Gehrig. He is a hard man to bring down, and fierce competitor.
The Bible says darkness does not understand light. Maybe God does not care about football, but He does care about people getting to know Jesus and Tebow's platform strengthens every time he wins. Tebow reflects the light (Jesus) and it is not surprising that many don't understand.
Tebow has publicly stated that his first priority in life is NOT football. Maybe God cares about football now because He knows that the more notoriety Tebow gains, his influence on the Kingdom of God only increases.
"Not lost in that flurry was that Tebow threw for 316 yards and set an NFL playoff record by averaging 31.6 yards. That's "316," as in John 3:16, one of the most-often cited Bible passages for Christians, the most widely searched item on Google for much of Sunday night into Monday,"
Would there be that many searches on "John 3:16" if Tebow had lost???
Also, it is notable that Pittsburgh had the ball officially for:
Time of Possession 31:06
Go Timmy Go!!!
Your job Tebow is to get your team as far as it can go and win a Super Bowl, when you have done that then as a american citizen take your chances and make your dream life miserable by going on about politick, your choice.
You would be smart to do as you are and just play ball.
Why not take him for what he is: a fine young man who happens to believe in God Stop all the analysis and let his Christianity go for what it is…..him! Back off and let the game go forward.
Just reading these comments shows us how this young man has brought people together, even dedicated fans of other teams. That alone is a positive thing he has accomplished and something of which God would approve.
Well said, Lukuj!
Beautiful acknowledgement. So indicitive of Christ and his purpose. Jesus is going to bring one of two reactions: 1) foaming rabid anger and disgust. 2)honor and brotherhood. There's no in between. Only Jesus causes this kind of anomoly.
I agree completely he has brought people together, unlike Obama the great divider.
What people don't realize is that Tim gives thanks whether he is successful or unsuccessful…which is a consistent trait of his faith. Reporters only report what they want, politicians tell you one thing and then do another, Tim is what is right in America. I'm not saying he isn't without fault, his faith tells him he is a "sinner", but he strives to become better and gives his all when it comes to the task at hand. Luck? Big Plays? Devine guidance? No…But his relationship with God is obvious, talking to him is only natural. Leave it alone and let the man do his thing!
What a great debate about how we believe and who we believe in. This young man has character and is demonstrating a quality not seen much in our society. I beleive you win or lose as a team. Tebow is the QB, but without a team he could not succeed. I like what he does off the field as well. His concern for children is stellar. He causes me to ask myself, am i doing all i can do to demonstrate my love for my Saviour?
i loathe football, but like Tebow. Let the man be who he is without over analyzing it.
Len I am with you I don't just dislike football I don't just hate foot ball, I loathe Football…. But Tim Tebow I like, Stand strong Tim, Stand Strong!
The so-called "experts" who say this "cannot work for long" apparently never saw Steve Young of the 90s SF 49ers play. His style is almost identical – a strong running back playing quarterback, always a threat to run, able to turn a busted play into big yardage. Plus the kid is just plain good at it – and he will only get better,
He's bringing back some excitement and fun to what has become a rather dull game at times. His religion is his business – It;s nice to see a good kid make it big,
"So, is it a football miracle? Or the perfect blend of luck, timing and big plays?"
First, allow me to correct your poor grammar: "So, is it a football miracle, or the perfect blend of luck, timing, and big plays?"
Second, allow me to suggest that Tim Tebow and the Denver Broncos may be very talented.
Why do you call Bill Maher a comedian? Has he ever said anything that was really funny?
Bill Maher is not a comedian,
he is the court jester,
nobody is laughing with him they are laughing at him,
All he is, is a fool on TV
Bill Maher is just a jerk. His comedy is limited to making fun of anyone who doesn't agree with his liberal fanaticism and anti-religious extremism.
Only a jerk would stoop so low as to make an Adolf Hitler/Satan joke about a guy because of his sincere religious faith.
What Jesus is interested in is people coming to Him. Tim Tebow is bringing people to Him by what he is doing on the field. Simply AWESOME!!!. Thank you Jesus and the Holy Spirit you in dwell in us.
When I look at Tim Tebow's performance on the field, I see Steve Young. Who among you is going to argue that Steve Young didn't have a "formula for long term success"?
I like Tebow, but comparing him to Steve Young? The Hall of Fame QB? Slow down a bit please.
I agree with Ruppert.
Have you ever seen Steve Young during his first few years in the USFL and at Tampa Bay?
Tim Tebow has better stats and a much better record over 14 games. It took a while for Steve Young to mature into the player that we came to admire during the 1990s.
Tim Tebow was thrown into the fray for three games during his first season and 11 games this season. He has done well despite not practicing with the first string offense until the 6th game of the season.
I commented that I think TT looks a lot like Steve Young below. Steve patiently played backup behind a QB at San Fran with a totally different style for years – Joe Montana. How many times did we hear "Young will never replace Montana," or he's "unpolished," etc? The how many times after Joe moved on did we hear "Young to Rice – Touchdown!" TT is off to a much faster start than Steve Young – As Howard used to say, "He could go all the way."
GaLO-reee, I wonder who JAYsuhz wants TBow to endorse?
@ Arj:
…um, maybe the Sylvan Learning Center? After all, if you can't spell names like "Tebow" and "Jesus" correctly, then maybe Tebow's endorsement will encourage you to seek some assistance.
I've always despised the Denver Broncos but now I'm a fan thanks to TT! GB2
For the uninitiated "GB2" (God Bless & Go Broncos) is Tim Tebow's signature sign off on Facebook . . .
I'm a Patriots fan, but on Saturday nite I rooting for Tim.
Cowboys fan here: I am cheering for Tim Tebow as well!
Cowboy and Steelers fan…..now a Broncos fan! Go…..TEBOW'S and Broncos!! Nice to have a player who loves God, isn't involved in shooting anybody or beating his wife or girlfriens, isn't boisterous or think too highly of himself, not using alcohol or illegal drugs. Just a good clean God-fearing man! Thank God!
Me too!
Tebow wore John 3:16 during his second appearance in the BCS Bowl game. It became the most googled term on the internet.
As a Gator, I've been a fan of Tim's (Superman wears Tebow shorts) forever. And I can assure you that if the management will get out of his face about his mechanics, blah, blah, blah, and just let Tim be Tim….the results will continue to be spectacular. He's the hardest worker you'll ever see, whether it's watching film or preparing himself physically to knock defenders down.
Best of everything to you Denver fans, enjoy it while you've got it!
Good points. His passing style might be unconventional (but that is a bit of an exaggeration as well), but the ball can travel to point A to point B.
I think that Tebow was given the reigns of throwing the ball on Sunday. He was going against the #1 defense (including the #1 PASSING DEFENSE).
And what happened?
He threw the deep pass, short pass and 20 yard play action pass very effectively. In addition, this allowed him to run for another 50 yards too.
I hope that they let him do the same against New England. They had that game in the bag last time…until the third quarter.
One thing is for sure: Tim Tebow caused me to become a Broncos fan! I love what the ENTIRE team has done of the field this season!
there's a big difference in being a christian and being religious. anyone can be religious, only those accepting jesus as lord and savior can be christians. muslims, scientology, budahism, satan worship, these are some of the religions of the world.
Exactly! Its not a "religious thing" it is a relationship with the one & only Jesus Christ : )
I'm a Texan fan….but,GO,TEBOW,GO!!
I'm a Steeler fan and I'm rooting for Tim Tebow!! There are things more important than football.
I am a N.Y. Giants fan I love my Team BUT GO TEBOW GO
I'm a Packer fan, but I love Tebow and hope he continues to be successful – until he plays the Packers, that is!
Saints fan rooting for Tebow until they face the Saints in the SuperBowl!
I don't even watch football, but I watch Tebow!
Here's an idea…maybe, just maybe….all the "experts" don't really know what the hell they are talking about! Maybe, Tebow is developing in a fine NFL QB. Maybe the experts are wrong….as usual. As for the hatred, roaches never like to have the light turned on….just by living the life he has chosen to live, Tebow has turned the light on a lot of roaches lives, and they don't like it one bit.
Right on! I'm glad he is not endorsing anyone. It would be just one more thing about which he would be criticized and hounded, and some of those hateful people would not support the candidate just because Tebow did. I told my religion class kids on Sunday that Tebow was a person who was suffering without c omplaint a type of modern day relgious persecution, though after Sunday some of those bad-mouthing him may quiet down a bit. Tebow doesn't care what they say. God doesn't care what they say. I don't care what they say. It is blessing to have another excellent role model for kids in the NFL. There are too few as far as I can tell.
The haters ain't seen nothing yet! Keep rockin' Tebow!
You hit the nail on the head. People hate Tebow because the way he lives his life convicts them. Through no fault of TEBOW'S, he makes them feel bad about themselves and they don't like that. As a Christian, I should be living MY life like Tebow does. He's an inspiration to me to walk the walk. I have loved this kid since he played at Florida. He's a WINNER. On and off the field. There have been (and are) plenty of QB's in the NFL who have unorthodox throwing motions and they've done just fine. Tebow's only going to get better and better the more experience he gets and especially with the benefit of an off-season of training and promised personal tutoring from John Elway himself. Everybody needs to look out next year. The Broncos will be a dominating force in the NFL. And Tebow will have a long and storied NFL career. Regardless of what the "experts" and haters say. GO BRONCOS!
"If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first." (John 15:18). In other words, the closer you walk with Jesus (Christianity at its core), the more the world will hate on you fo the very reason Right 2Liberty stated; conviction. We are all cut from the same cloth, God, thus we all know the difference between right and wrong. Culture is so thick with that which is wrong, so when someone like Tebow comes along and sets a Christlike example, everyone gets defensive. I know because I used to be on the defensive. As for Bronco's football…WOOHOO!!!
Well said. Tebow INSPIRES people. He makes Christians want to be better Christians. He's been what I've been wishing for in the sports spotlight for a long time. A man who realizes that he has a rare opportunity to use his popularity to bring glory to God and be a proper role model for children and adults alike. Light unto the world and salt of the earth. He's refreshing. It's like he's quitely saying to the country and world "Hey guys, we're out here too. It's not all bad."
The criticism of Tebow is idiotic. He's a winner. I don't care what position he plays, you want him on your team. I'm not a Bronco fan, but I can't wait to watch their next game.
For once, I wish that the media would realize that NO ONE is saying that God is necessarily interested in the football game, but that some of the players — like Tim Tebow — are interested in God.
God might like football. Why would He not. Does He help make plays….well you can never answer this question. But, I would think He loves anything we figure out for the good of man. Remember He loves you…so why not?
Remember this too. Not any person king, pope, or president has more knowledge than you on God because of their title. Does God really care about football?
"Not one whit," said Joe Price, a professor in the religious studies department at Whittier College
Personally I don't know if there is a God or not. Nobody does. But I do admire this young man whose values are strong, humane, and dedicated to being as excellent as he can be and to using his strength to take care of others who are less fortunate. I am not a Christian. But I find the anti-Christian bigots who hate Tebow because of his very humanity and authenticity to be a tad pathetic.
Also, people don't like the fact he is not as talented as some but, still gets great results. Why don't they like him for this reason? Because they are jealous and they don't like the fact that if you work hard enough and believe, sometimes great things can happen. Which shows us all that mediocrity can be improved if you put your heart into it. Tom Brady is another example. Who happens to be my favorite. If Tebow wins I hope he wins it all. Just to prove my point. Hard work and positive thoughts bring positive results no matter how much talent you have been given.
"Not one whit," said Joe Price, a professor in the religious studies department at Whittier College. "But does God care about people who play football? You betcha."
Remember this. John 3:16 is Tebow's favorite verse. But Luke 1:37 says Nothis is impossible with God. And I'm proud Tim always gives Jesus Christ and his teammates the credit first, and in that order. Get'em Tim
I don't know what his skill set is. I like him for his honest and civil ways. That he believes in a higher being, as I do, is just a cherry on top. This is the type of man one wants his kids to follow. Not some loud mouth flamboyant good off that has sired 5 kids with as many women.
I agree!
Maybe the media feels Michael Vick is a better role model or something. Who knows, with them.
He secretly endorses the integrity and honesty of the Statesman, Ron Paul, but he's too smart to openly say it.
Can you imagine how they would jump on him for that honesty?
TGC, you are a genius. THe experts told us integration would help our kids learn.Now black and white kids are both stupider than ever. Experts tell us gays have a legit lifestyle but they die on average at 44. Experts tell us Lady Googoo and Madonna are stars but they look like a walking VD commercial. Experts tell us Islam is peaceful, that southern whites are bigots, that abortion is freedom to women, etc…..etc…
Yeah baby, you got it right for sure!

Good risotto however, is actually pretty elusive-especially if you're making it yourself and happen to be super impatient. Northern Italian nonnas will probably tell you risotto must be al dente but not mushy, creamy but not too rich and most of all, you can't cheat and just let it sit in all of the chicken broth at once (the arborio rice won't be able to absorb liquid to its full potential, making for a dull and not-fluffy risotto). Basically, making a perfect risotto is intimidating and gruelling but with some diligence and love for bang-up italian food (or intense hate for shelling out $25 every time at restaurants), it's not impossible at all.
okay, so now that my preamble has made excuses for any possible failure on my part, let's make risotto.
- 1 pound of fresh mushrooms of your choice: I used portobello and oyster
- 3 cups chicken stock
- 6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter
- 1 chopped white onion (or 3 shallots)
- 1 cup Arborio rice
- ½ cup dry white wine
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus extra for serving
Meanwhile, clean your mushrooms. Tip: do so by ever so gently patting the 'shrooms down with a damp paper towel. Rinsing them under running water is practically a damn felony ok?
A beautiful oyster mushroom, take care to clean the dirt in its "gills" without damaging them.
Tear up or chop up you mushrooms just like this…they look ginormous but remember that mushrooms lose alot of moisture when cooked and thus, will shrink quite substantially during the process. Extra points for finding local produce as often as possible (Ashburn, ON oyster mushrooms)
My contacts seem to prevent my eyes from burning when I chop onions. They only tear when I wear glasses like just now. Anyone else find that true/magical?
Ok, then heat up a dutch oven or heavy bottomed pot on medium low. Melt 3/4 c. of butter. My go-to brands are usually (yes, I have a "favourite butter") Gay Lea and Lactantia My Country, which has unique buttercream like taste similar to butter you can get in Europe. Tip: don't use anything but BUTTER. Margarine isn't really good for you, I don't like it, and risotto doesn't like it. Also don't be too concerned about calories because you can just eater lighter the meal before. But, if you still want low fat butter or margarine, you'll probably end up with decent risotto but not the gooey creamy awesome variety (which you don't deserve anyway!)
What great about these brands is that they offer convenient portions, a box will come with 4 of these slim sticks, each with a measurement guide. Genius.
