Post FAQs/Mechanics/Bugs/Etc
General Mechanics:
A - Basic attack
B - Special attack
AB - Super attack (consumes 2 Red)
C - Block

Most characters have netural, ↓, and → variations for all basics, specials, and supers with air variations of each.

Taiga's move list

Press ↑ while in the air after hitstun ends to recover control

Ground only
Hit box generally disappears during evade

Pressing block right before an attack hits will parry it. The defender will take no chip damage, lose no gauge, and have a few frames of invincibility. Attacks that have multiple hits may not be interruptable, even with the frames of invincibility.

Certain attacks (and bosses) have super armor for a certain number of hits before they can be interrupted into hitstun.

Determine gauge size. Nothing else.

Blue Gauge
Fills over time
Depletes on block or defensive cancel (below)
If blue is empty, then extra damage is taken when blocking

Red Gauge
Fills when attacking
Will fill over blue gauge
Normalizes towards half when taking damage (+ if < half, - if > half)
Depletes on supers (2 bars)
Depletes on offensive cancels (below)

Almost any attack can be canceled. They can be performed directionally (double tap a direction/C+direction), normal attack to special attack, a normal/special to special/super, or super to super. Not all characters can cancel in every direction (most can't cancel downwards for example) and many characters have unique cancels (ex. Berio's forward offensive cancel creates a shield that bounces the enemy back)
There are three main kinds of cancels.

Free cancel
Uses no gauge.
Norma attack to special attack (or super)
Upward direction cancel off normal attack
C+↑ from neutral will perform a free (upward) directional cancel

Defensive cancel
Uses one blue gauge.
Backwards directional cancels

Offensive cancel
Forward directional cancel off any attack
Upward/downward direction cancel off a special or super
Cancelling from one special/super to a different special/super
Note: Doesn't include the cost of using the super, so offensive canceling into a super will take 3 red total

Damage Prorating
Damage lessens the longer a combo goes on
Damage greatly lessens once an enemy is in a down position (even if they are relaunched into the air from it)
Damage lessens the less life an enemy has left

Character specific notes
(Just done off the cuff, may have missed something)

B, AB can be continued by pressing B up to two more times after striking

Ground B attacks are determined by length of time button is held and angle of release. Angle can be changed after attack begins.

→B and →AB can be held to increase detonation distance

B, j.B, ↓AB can be held to increase length/power of effect
↓B, ↓AB and ↓j.AB can be aimed after attack begins
↓C creates shield (req. 1 blue, depletes blue while up and lasts until blue is empty)

Can triple jump
Has a downward cancel in the air
When using AAAAA, final hit automatically jumps
Has ↑j.B and ↑j.AB
j.6B, j.6AB are multiple hit attacks. Continue by pressing B with the correct timing

↓AB super only available when summon is out
Summon slime with →C
Summon Necromicon with ↓C
Orders for summoned monsters given with C+direction
Summons cannot be dismissed. They must be defeated before a new one is summoned. There is no limit on summoning otherwise.
Directional cancels have no slowdown or other visual effects
Directional cancels free cancel into themselves
Cannot directional cancel while a summon is out

Head has an independant hit box when detatched (damage is only taken by body)
Many attacks change while head is detatched
When head takes damage, it cannot be recalled/picked up for a few seconds
Being on top of head when it is supposed to enter a stunned state (ie at end of some supers) will automatically reattach it instead
When head is detatched, ↓B, ↓AB creates an extra grave underneath head

Route Mechanics:
Route is set at the start of chapter 8. You are given a choice of characters to ask out and whoever goes with you is the route you are on. There is an semi-enforced route order and only the routes that are unlocked will be available to ask out. However, girls may turn you down if you have not gotten enough points/cleared enough flags with them. It's definitely possible (probable even) to have enough points with multiple girls on a single playthrough to choose multiple routes from a single save. Mia is selected by choosing nobody.

Route unlocks are saved to the system data and can be accessed from any game. Completing a girl's route also unlocks her for use in battle instead of controlling Taiga. Levels are carried over in an NG+ when the game is cleared (any ending) but levels are NOT saved to the system data.

MiaC* -- Unlocked from the start
Berio -- Unlocked from the start
Kaede -- Unlocked from the start
Rico -- Complete Berio or Kaede's route
Nanashi -- Complete Berio or Kaede's route
Lily -- Complete Berio, Kaede, Rico AND Nanashi's routes
MiaB* -- Complete Lily's route
MiaA* -- Complete MiaB
Justice/Crea -- Complete MiaA

*Regarding Mia's route
Unlike the other girls, you cannot be turned down when selecting it for having too few points with her. Entering it without fulfilling the conditions for MiaB/A (completing Lily and enough points with Mia) just pushes you into MiaC. MiaC is not a full route and completing it does NOT count as clearing Mia in any way. Second, there is a normal end and a true end. The normal end must be completed before the true end is unlocked. You can simply save in the final chapter and then reload after seeing the normal end to see the true end.

The Justice/Crea route splits off at the end of chapter 7 instead of the start of chapter 8 (as far as the scripts and save files are concerned). If the conditions are fulfilled, there will be a prompt to begin it at the beginning of chapter 8. If no prompt comes up, you have failed to fulfill the conditions.

A quick mnemonic for remembering order is large breasts, small breasts, medium breasts. There is a much more specific reason they're grouped/ordered like that but it's quite spoilery.

Crea events for her route (Destiny Only):

Chapter 4, 2nd Free Action (Night) - Gate
Chapter 5, 1st Free Action - Gate (Choose not to bug Berio)
Chapter 5, 2nd Free Action - Gate
Chapter 6, 1st Free Action - Gate
Chapter 7, 2nd Free Action - Gate

No other requirements apparently, besides clearing MiaA.

I have no good idea how harem route is unlocked besides winning all the battles.

Post Re: FAQs/Mechanics/Bugs/Etc

Imn's backdash is slightly glitched and will execute her summon's super off an HJC for no cost.

Too many collisions simultaneously with a frozen sprite can overload the game and cause all projectiles to lose both substance and hit properties.

Possibly related, but I haven't been able to duplicate it, so I'm not sure WHAT this bug is exactly. It looks like the game tried to HJC from the offensive cancel and just putzed up Nanashi's head, resulting in the same error as the ice one above.

Guarding while jumping can have strange effects on momentum. Usually, it's just a very quick deadfall (which is probably intentional), but for characters that have a double jump, tapping block right after a double jump can cause them to rocket upwards. AI Berio tends to do this a lot for some reason.

This was fixed for most (all?) characters in Xross.

When you block, the screen locks for a moment (presumably during the parry frames). If you're moving fast/far enough and tap block rapidly, you can scroll yourself off the screen. Also note that things a little ways off the screen have wonky hit detection, so this could probably be even glitchier under certain circumstances.

Destiny voice glitches:

taig000000 is an empty padding file, but it's called in the game twice. Once at the start of Crea's route (stomach rumbling noise), and once at the end of Lily's route during the escape. The two lines are not even remotely alike.

Voice 3090030173 and 3090030203 are backwards in Destiny in Berio's route. They're the same line for both, just one has reverb since it's a flashback. I've gone ahead and swapped them back to fix it.

Voice samples 0065060009 and 0065060010 are identical files in Destiny (hospital in Nanako's route). They shouldn't be, but they are. There's nothing I can do since the right line doesn't exist.

Game what? Game which? Game THAT.

Game that which presents a challenge, which is a challenge. To game that is solve that issue, problem or challenge, to unveil the mystery, to find a solution that fits its purpose. The outcome is, you get to attain it, achieve it, to have and to own it, to beat it, to win it, and emerge triumphant.

What is it that you want?

Every person has something that they want, even if it is to “sit down, shake legs and do nothing” (but this is unhealthy).

This is not asking “what everybody wants”, this is asking what YOU want.

This is not asking “what you’d like to do today”, this is asking what you’d like to do in the long term, taking a long view, that which is sustainable, that which does not feed a vicious cycle that would clearly harm you or hurt you.

Unhealthy, immoral, illegal, unethical things aside.

The question begs, what is it that you want? Do you have it down yet? When you do not pursue that which you want, “happy” does not describe you.

In order to do that, you’ll need to have the right attitude and the right frame of mind.

Do you have it? Do you want it?

Get outside your comfort zone. Challenge yourself. Innovate.

We don’t always emerge triumphant in the eyes of others, because what others see are “success” and “failure”. They don’t know what goes on inside our hearts, our soul, that the most important thing to us is growth.

8 months

In 4 days, Caleb will be 8 months old.  I have time right now, the boys are both napping, so I am writing this post now instead of later.

Currently, the teething situation stands at two front bottom teeth.  The two top teeth were threatening to come through for a while but seem to have receded again.

In terms of mobility, Caleb has become an expert scootcher.  He army crawls all over the place, and is getting quite speedy at it.  It is a very cute wiggly little pulling himself forward with one hand while jiggling the rest of himself forward.  He's getting his tummy up off the ground more and more often, though as soon as he tries to move forward, it lands back down on the ground.  He seems quite happy to be mobile, and is already trying hard to get into trouble eating the extension cable that goes to my desk, any plastic crinkly thing he can find, dirty socks that have been left on the floor, and one of his very favorites is trying to eat my toes.  The only one of those I'm actually worried about is the power cable, so we will have to get some sort of cover or something to attach it to the wall with so he can't pull it out to where he can bite it.

He's eating three meals of baby food a day, though the amount varies quite a bit from day to day.  He quite likes Cheerios, and likes grabbing them and then trying to figure out how to get them from the middle of his fist into his mouth.  He's finally figured out how to chew them, so I don't have to worry about him choking on them anymore.  He doesn't much like any sort of green baby food (with the worst offender still being green beans, and peas being a close second), and surprisingly doesn't seem to like many of the orange ones either (like sweet potatoes and squash, both of which Aiden loved).

Caleb is still super-smiley most of the time, extremely attached to me still vs. anybody else, adores watching Aiden, is quite good at babbling, and tends to say "mamamamamamama" when he wants me to pick him up.  He likes it when I dance or clap for him.  He's getting slightly more ticklish.  His very favorite show out of all the shows that we've been watching randomly with Aiden is (unsurprisingly) Baby Signing Time.  I don't know what it is about it exactly, but it is absolutely magical with babies.  I don't sign with him as often as I should, so I don't know how long it will be before he starts picking up a few signs of his own.

He is now sleeping in our third bedroom (after much rearranging on my part to get the crib to fit in there along with all our storage).  He's down to waking up once a night now, between three and four, which is much nicer (though I've been having trouble falling asleep after getting him back down, so I am as tired as ever).  I think it has helped a little bit that I've been trying to keep him up just a little bit later at night so that he's not in bed before 6:30.  The last two days he has also slept in longer in the morning, though Aiden has made up for it by deciding to wake up at 6:15 every day.  One of the big benefits of having Caleb out of our room is that my crafting space is now accessible again, which means I can finally work on a bunch of projects that have been put on standby for the past many months.  Also, I can now take a shower during nap times when they overlap (which they do almost every day!).  So that's fairly fabulous, and is precisely what I'm going to go do right now.

A Simple Secret to Overcome Writer’s Block | Leslie Wilson, Write Uncaged

I often see and scan articles and blogs about overcoming writer's block, most of them providing various similar methods that can be effective. Here's another one I came across today: How to Identify and Overcome Writer's Block. It looks complete and useful.

But the article I'm featuring in this post describes a method I don't often see. It could seem off-topic because it doesn't involve writing, preparing for writing, or changing a writing habit.

Instead, as Wilson writes:
My all-time favorite way to overcome writer’s block?
See people. Yep, it’s that simple.
Sometimes the well can feel like it has run dry because we don’t have new sensory experiences or meaningful conversations.
She lists several ways in which "Interacting with 3-dimensional, living, breathing humans" can help overcome writer's block.

Sounds like a good (and fun) idea to me! Making connections can be inspiring.

For more resources for dealing with this difficulty, check out the Writer's Block section of Garbl's Writing Process Links.

Choosing the Right Words for Persuasive Writing |

I like this blogger's three suggestions for making your writing more compelling. The blogger notes, correctly:
[W]hen you are trying to persuade someone through your writing, you need to do more than get to the point – you also need to persuade them into doing something.
After all, if your readers doesn't respond in your preferred way (or at all) -- either through action or thought -- what was the point of using your time and energy to interact with them?

The blogger's three elements of persuasion, summarized:

Using comparisons
[W]hen you create a convincing scenario and relate it to something that your reader can connect with or accepts as right/true, it will become a lot more easier for you to get them to understand your point of view and accept it. ...
Overcoming objections
Of course to properly overcome their objections you’re going to have to get to know your audience, and their objections, really well. ...
Writing with "an understanding pen"
[I]t shows your audience that they aren’t merely heard but that you understand what they’re trying to say. ... Once your readers see you as understanding, they will be able to trust you with much more ease. ...
For more related advice, check out Garbl's Action Writing Links. It's an annotated directory of websites that can help you get people to read your writing, keep readers interested and persuade them to respond while they're reading or afterward.

Last Will and Testaments : Get Yours Today!

“But in this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes.”

-Benjamin Franklin, 1789

Although everyone dies eventually, not everyone leaves a last will & testament in place. Acording to research conducted by legal resource center LexisNexis, most people don’t even know how to begin writing a will.

If you’re confused about your will, you’re not alone! Talking to an attorney who practices estate law in your state can help you avoid making mistakes on your will.

According to a 2016 Gallup poll, approximately 56 percent of American adults do not have a will or other estate plan in place. Among minorities, the numbers are higher: 68 percent of black adults and 74 percent of Hispanic adults do not have a will.

The people who choose to create wills are generally older. In the 1990s, over 90 percent of probated wills were made by someone who was 60 or older.

Americans are apparently in no rush to think about their last days – procrastination is the number 1 reason for not having a will.

You need a will or estate plan to ensure your wishes for transferring property and assets are followed, and to avoid protracted legal proceedings over the distribution of those assets.

I recently had a probate where the decedent did not have a Will. He had been estranged from his son for over 10 years. But since he died without a Will, his son inherited ½ of his estate…

Make it a priority today to get a Last Will & Testament or other estate plan in place.

Bucs, Smith give each other what they need

by Gary Shelton on September 21, 2015 · 1 comment

in general, Miami, NFL, Tampa Bay Bucs

After a while, a man gets used to his path being blocked.

One team after another would look at Jacquies Smith, and one team after another would shake its head. He wasn't big enough. He wasn't strong enough. He wasn't special enough. After a while, then, Smith's story was written on pink slips, defined by rejection, good enough to for look but not for a job.

Miami. Hamilton. New York. Buffalo.

One after the other, they all took a quick look at Smith. None of them thought he was a keeper.

One Year After Gastric Bypass And Beyond: Settling Into Your New LIfe

roller-coasterThe first year after gastric bypass surgery can be quite a roller-coaster ride. Everything seems to happen so fast – one minute you’re being wheeled into the operating room as a Morbidly Obese person, the next you’re shopping for clothes “small enough” to fit.

By your first gastric bypass “surgiversary” your body has calmed down a bit. Weight loss has slowed and you’re beginning to feel physically more normal. But that just means it’s time for your brain to look in the mirror and realize, “OMG! That’s a completely different-looking person staring back at me!”

So where your first year was all about your changing body, your second is often about your mind. Coming to terms with the changes in your life is a bigger deal than you might imagine before hand.

As I approach my 2-year mark, here are some of the things I’ve encountered, and some things I’ve heard from others that can happen around this time.

Learning To Use Your Weight Loss Tool

gbp-vs-lap-bandAfter one year, the gastric bypass honeymoon period is definitely over. You’ll have an appetite again, and many people begin to tolerate more foods that aren’t such good choices.

I could eat bread again, and more sugar without dumping. Worst of all, I could suddenly eat more than before.

Whether it happens now for you or not, sooner or later every gastric bypass patient will reach the point where following “the rules” is no longer forced upon you by your pouch. Yes, you have to face it: at some point, you’re going to have to exercise some willpower again. You’re going to have to make good choices.

It’s all about forming good habits during your honeymoon period. If you’ve gotten used to eating healthier, it’s that much easier to continue doing so.

Of course, if you do fall off the wagon and get into bad habits again, the good news is that you still have your handy-dandy weight loss tool. Your pouch is still there, your anatomy is still altered. All you need to do is use it.

A great plan for getting back on track can be found at The 5 Day Pouch Test. Whether you use this plan or not, once you get your eating and exercise habits back on track you’ll see your weight loss continue. Which brings us to:

Weight Loss Still Happens A Year After Your Gastric Bypass

 It does, however, slow down considerably.

As I close in on my 2-year mark, my weight fluctuates between 145 and 150 pounds lost. I think I lost 110 or more of those pounds in the first year. I had more frequent and longer plateaus in the second year, but the weight has continued to come off. In fact, if I really wanted to, I could still lose more. I just haven’t decided whether or not I want to.

Which brings us to another question many begin to ask at this point:

Will I Reach My Goal Weight?

Of course, I can’t answer that for you. As of this morning, I am 2 pounds under my original goal weight of 150. My doctor had predicted I’d land somewhere in the 170′s. Now that I’m here, I’m toying with the idea of getting to around 140, perhaps even seeing what 135 would look like. But I haven’t decided yet.

Everyone’s body is different. One thing you have to consider is that the number on the scale may not accurately reflect your size. A doctor once explained it to me this way: when you’re carrying around an extra 100 or more pounds, it requires more muscle. When you lose the weight, you still have more muscle than the average person your size. Muscle weighs more than fat, so your scale may always reflect a higher number than your appearance would suggest.

For me, 148 pounds translates to a size 6-8. I thought I’d land around a 10 or 12, but I bypassed those sizes months ago. (More on that concept below).

The question is, is the goal weight you’ve set right for your body? If it is, and you’re willing to work hard, then it’s not too late to get there, even if you’re still quite far away. You will always have your tool, and you can continue to use it for the rest of your life.

But some people’s bodies just aren’t comfortable being super skinny. That’s one reason I’m debating about losing any more – I’d like to see what I look like, but 145 – 150 feels comfortable for my body. You have to find the healthy, comfortable weight for your body. THAT should be more important than an arbitrary number on the scale.

Which means that at some point you’ll have to deal with the fact that:

The Weight Loss Ride Is Over

You will not continue losing weight forever. If you did you’d die. So at some point you have to reach a stopping point.

Reaching that stopping point, however, can be a bit of a bummer. It’s FUN to jump on the scale and constantly see lower numbers. It’s FUN to notice your clothes are getting bigger on you again.

And switching your mindset from weight loss to weight maintenance can take some getting used to.

Unfortunately, many gastric bypass surgery patients got where they were due to addictive personalities. If you switch your addiction to food to an addiction to weight loss, this can cause you problems.

Dealing with the addictions, habits and mindsets that we had prior to weight loss surgery is only part of the “brain surgery” that comes after gastric bypass. You also have to discover -

Who Am I Now That I’ve Lost All This Weight?

me-at-ravenrockThis, for me, has been one of the toughest parts of my gastric bypass journey. I think perhaps having a life-threatning complication, followed by 6 weeks of bedrest while I recovered, contributed to the incredible mental freak-out I’ve experienced.

Suddenly, I’m thin. I’m pretty. And I darn near died, so I want to get out and LIVE. I get tons of attention, men flirt with me. And my body is completely different than what it’s always been.

I’m a tiny little thing. That’s sooo weird! It makes me feel almost like a little girl. My husband says I act like I’m a teenager again.

Over the past few months, I’ve done things I could never have imagined doing. Some have been good. Some have been completely destructive and insane. I am just wildly blessed that my husband loves me so much and wouldn’t leave me if I told him to.

But Life also has ways of slapping you in the face with Reality. There are consequences if you get too “out there” trying to figure yourself out. Keep that in mind as you hit your 18 month – 2 year mark.

Does completely changing your appearance change who you are inside? I think somewhat it does. Especially to the extent that you allowed yourself to be defined by being overweight. If you saw yourself as fat, and let that image dictate your behavior to any extent, then suddenly becoming skinny will literally blow your mind.

Imagine waking up tomorrow as a different race than you are now. Yeah, you’re still you. But then again, you’re not. You fit into society differently. People treat you differently. You see yourself differently.

You have to look inside and discover who you really are at the core. And for a lot of us, we’ve hidden that core under layers of fat for so long it’s a surprise what we find. We may not like what we see. Or, we may be surprised at how much hasn’t changed because we were blaming things on the fat that the fat didn’t cause.

If what you see inside isn’t what you want to see there, you’ve got work ahead of you. But the thing is, you’ve just proven to yourself that you’re up to big challenges. You did, after all, get here. You took the risk and had the surgery, and now you’ve accomplished a feat millions fail at: you’ve lost the weight.

Changing what’s inside and becoming the person you really want to be – once you figure out who that is – should be easy in comparison. Plus, unlike the weight loss that happened so quickly, you’ve got the rest of your life to make it happen.

13 Responses to One Year After Gastric Bypass And Beyond: Settling Into Your New LIfe

  1. I want to know will I loss weight if I got to my goal weight that I want to reach even if it is only 80 pounds will it keep coming off

  2. Sorry Lisa,

    I read it wrong. Jamie is looking to your husband for support.

  3. Shooni,
    Don’t give up. If you can, go back to the basics from the first day after your surgery. Day one: healthy fluids only e.g. water, carnation instant, etc. do that for a day or 2. Then go to the next phase: soft foods for a day or 2 and gradually add in other foods……get yourself back on track. You can do it! Go for walks or start by parking further away and building up to walking. When I grocery shop, I purposefully write my list alternating each ends of the grocery store and I must get each item in the order I wrote it! I put a lot of milage on that way. Don’t get on the scale every day. You have to remember that you will retain fluids on some days and not others. You had the surgery because you couldn’t lose the weight before and were unhappy and/or unhealthy. Use the tool given you. You can do it! Keep telling yourself that. Lisa, congratulations on your success. Sounds like your husband needs your support at this time.

  4. Lisa,Thanks for the information, I am still trying to figure out who I am, I became a widow a year before having surgery and was just learning to deal with that, now I am dealing with the new me. It is nice to hear I am not the only one who is confused about who I am and what I want after this weight loss.

  5. Lisa your journey gave me true insight on whats to come. I have been looking for honest information. This is really helping me make my decision for the surgery. Thanks this website is great!!

  6. Gina G thx for your answer .. well to tell you the truth i don’t exercise at all but i try to eat only healthy food but when i wake up in the morning to find that i gained weight i go and eat chocolate :( :( do you think i still have time to lose weight ?

  7. Lisa,
    Thanks for sharing so much on your site.
    My wife had gastric bypass almost 4 years ago. Her weight loss was almost exactly the same as your (same start, same end) She went from a size 22 to a 6.
    I have a question more for your husband than you. My wife and I have been married for nearly 20 years, the first 15 she was her larger version, the last 5 she has been the new size. I find myself fighting with jealousy. My wife, even when she was large, has had an extremely outgoing, almost flirtatious, personality. This never was an issue, when she was large, but now I struggle with it almost every day. I would love to hear if anyone else has had the same problem. I am debating getting some professional help with this before it takes it’s toll on my marriage.
    I was just wondering if your husband has had the same issue, or am I just strange?

  8. Shooni….are you exercising? That’s SOOO IMPORTANT!!! It has really helped me along! I put on 6 lbs over the holidays and stopped working out….AS SOON AS I WENT BACK TO THE GYM…it came RIGHT back off! Along w. eating healthy of course! Hang in there! YOU CAN DO IT!!!

  9. I have had a wonderful journey thus far! It will be 1 year on Feb. 11th and I have lost 125 lbs and still losing! Thanks for the valuable information on tranforming your mind! I need to! It’s AWESOME!!!!

  10. i am now 14 months after my surgery and i have only lost 71 bound . i’m not happy with this result i really wanted to lose more weight . I only lose weight when i’m on a diet . The surgery is just a helper but not everything .

  11. I’m just starting this process and doing lots of research. I’ve been looking for honest information (not just success stories) so I feel completely comfortable with my decision before I go under the knife. I want to thank you for telling your story. It is some of the best informatoin I’ve read.

  12. Nice topic

Why aren't press playing up the hostage crisis?

It amazes me that the even the British press are downplaying what I consider to be the next hostage crisis. If you go the Daily Mail website, the lead headline is about a fifteen pound speeding tax for victims of violence...while the hostage crisis is just another headline. In the Daily Telegraph, their lead story is on Gordon Brown and penion problems. Has the government told the press to cool it? Or, are the newspapers afraid to show too much support to Tony Blair? That perhaps this crisis can also be blamed on Iraq?

Blogger Blackstone said...

Interesting point. The editors aren't interested but online readers sure are. Both at the Times and Telegraph, the hostage stories are "most read" links.

Quite a contrast from Falklands War coverage. The press there are rabidly leftist and of course sympathetic to fascists if they are of the Islamic variety. And they're probably afraid.

Eslinger Law Site

I recently did a facelift for

A major goal of the site was to remove the dependence on type-images that the previous site used. The type is Calluna (and its small caps). Because many of the clients use windows computers, verdana is used for body copy because it is well hinted. The site is IE7+ compatible, which is always a more painful process than one would want.

The site is built with Stacey, the portfolio/templating system.

The family of Dr./Major Arthur J. Klippen (shown left at Camp Aliceville in 1944) has donated a painting of the Camp Aliceville Station Hospital to the Aliceville Museum in his memory. Earline Lewis Jones, a former civilian employee with the camp's Quartermaster's office, has verified that the painting depicts the Station Hospital.

For additional information about Arthur J. Klippen, please see the blog entry for December 15, 2009.

The museum has received another painting recently--a portrait of Elsie Milhelic Ruzic who worked as a civilian employee of the US Corps of Engineers while her husband served in the US Navy in the Pacific. This portrait was donated by the subject's daughter, Susan Ruzic Newshelier.

Both of these paintings were created by German POWs held in Camp Aliceville during WWII. They are on display at the Aliceville Museum in Aliceville, AL

Convert a wine tumbler into a colorful flower vase

Everyone Welcome our Newest Guest Gloribell from

"By combining my knowledge on interior and graphic design I will bring to you decoration ideas and easy to do projects for your home. Here you will find inspiration for that special corner or an excuse for remaking your garden."

Inspired by Spring and all its hues and textures; today I'm going to show you how to convert an everyday item like a wine tumbler into a beautiful and colorful flower vase.
In this tutorial, although I'm using some inexpensive plastic wine tumblers, any plastic or crystal vase would do just fine. Besides this all you'll need is leftover paint (I just love how many things I've done with a couple of Behr paint samples), a glue gun and a brush.
The first thing to do is the outside design of the tumblers. With the glue gun I placed different sizes of glue drops and let them dry. Just remember not to burn yourself and that this type of glue dries quickly.
Materials from left to right: leftover sampler Behr paint; Martha Stewart's chalkboard paint for the outer part of the tumbler; sponge brush and glue gun.
When the glue was completely dry, I started painting the inside of each tumbler. I pour about a 1/4 cup of paint and started twisting and turning until the inside was completely cover. To help eliminate any leftover paint inside the tumbler, I place it upside down on top of an empty can. After this I place the vase on its side in front of a fan to help with the drying time.
When the inside of each tumbler was completely dry, I started painting the outside with the Martha Stewart's chalkboard paint. I used this paint because when dry,  the resulting effect is a matte rustic one (kind like ceramic) which I just love. I gave each piece three coats of paint.
Here is the final result. As always, with a little paint, you can do tons of things.

Ghost Wolves

Debrief 6

Now that we have our charter and our mercenary business is as legal as it can get in the Dalelands, I decided to finally relax and loosen the reins on my men. They have been hard at work at Desario’s Master plan, which was executed flawlessly.

Now, we’re back on track for our number one goal: Gathering supplies and allies.

I go to the group and ask what kind of mission they want. Ben is enthusiastic to find this lair of an old Bandit King which might hold a key to his own haunted problems, but with little to go on (Somewhere North of Colm) we must wait. I told him to gather more recon on this particular mission, once we have a locked down target I would be quite interested in exploring an old Bandit King’s hideout.

Bran had a good idea. Since we got the “Magical Triangle” from the canid tribes, several of our members have received some sort of vision on it. It seems there is a magic within it that is calling. So, we decided to get some recon on the triangle to see if we can pinpoint its origin.

Bran comes back with a name, Cheswick Copperpot, who actually resides in Colm. What luck. We go over to his house but find it empty. Bran decides to do a little old fashioned recon while I distract the neighbors.

Bran gathers recon. The magic triangle has some connection to an old ruin of a long lost tribe called the Dal’Riada. With a pinpointed direction we quickly regroup, gather supplies and head out.

Near the ruins we see an Ettin wandering aimlessly. Preparing for a battle I enlarge Kilja. She catches the Ettin’s attention, who then cowardly withdraws from the fight. Kilja showed superb prowess and steel reserve in the face of danger. Were I still able to hand out recommendations I would do so.

We find the ruins shortly after that, a musty rotting place that looks to be hundreds of years old. It interests most of the party a great deal. I am somewhat reserved in searching these old places. To me they signify only a means to an end, my chance for revenge upon the wolves.

We soon learn in a room filled with traps that Copperpot passed away. He left a lasting note about a trap he had not found. Bran was able to disarm most of the old traps in the temple, and even lay out a resting place for Copperpot. We say last words and then continue on.

After a few more rooms we encounter strange insects with a strange fungal infection. In the process of neutralizing said threat Zadok received a wound from the insects. The healers in the group are able to stop the infection but not undo the damage, only time will do that. Zadok braves his injury so we proceed through the ruins.

We find the eggs of said insects and proceed to neutralize that situation as well… with fire. Extreme fire.

Further into the chambers we come across a few valuables, a magical cloak or resistance and some other items which could either be useful or good for trade. We gather what we can and proceed.

Following a stream entrance we are able to go further into the ruins. Here an ambush was laid upon us by several tentamorts. Since they were on the ceiling the group became very
resourceful in defeating them. It is a good day when a leader sees the team working together like a well oiled machine. I feel a need for a nice cigar and to say, “I love it when a plan comes together.”

Note to self: Must get cigars for said moments.

We come across a corpse in the tunnels that provide more valuables for us. A quick rummage and we proceed on.

Now we must head through a waterfall to an even deeper part of the cave/ruin area. We deploy as a unit and are currently proceeding through the lower levels.

Will convey more intel as it develops.

Just as a note of correction, the bandit king’s keep is eat of colm, there was no evidence linking copperpot’s ruins to the triangle, he was just the best source of info. And do you mean revenge for the wolves?

Debrief 6

Also, I love the cigar reference. Why not play up thay angle, since it’s pretty much the fantasy version. And steel reserve? Gross. It’s that like like low end, potent dwarven brew?

Every child deserves to be great in life especially when they are inspired by great people around them and others have found greatness in their quest of finding themselves...Izuchukwu Charles Anoliefo is one of those young Nigerians who has identified with greatness in the business of showbiz and it gets more interesting because he is a graduate of Computer Science with an ongoing career in the banking world. As a young boy from the Eastern part of Nigeria, He grew up being inspired by a father who is a businessman and that was a plus to his strength just like his words ''There is a drive in me to be heard and seen for positive things''.

I had an interesting chat with Izuchukwu who recently returned from Surabaya, Indonesia where he represented Nigeria for 2 weeks at the Mr Universal Ambassador and finished 2nd runner up. He won best world speech competition with a thrilling human right speech on racism and was also top 5 in talent competition. All these achievements can have their trace back to Nigeria when he competed amongst the best men in the country for the title of Mr.Nigeria 2014 where he learnt more about confidence, intelligence, good looks, facing the camera, stage presence and lots more...and on reaching Indonesia, he was not scared of being himself..He says ''I knew I was special and have a chance of winning like everyone else''...The rest like they say is history....
Being a runner up, Izuchukwu is embarking on a pet project which is a usual agenda among top pageant winners around the world, He calls his project-Food and Fitness Foundation which is meant to reach out to the masses in need of food and give fitness advise to promote healthy living, and how more can we be influenced by eating and living well from a man who looks very much like his foundation and who also won the neatest boy in his primary school...investors and philanthropists across the globe would certainly find his project worthy of interest.

This native of Abatete in Idemili North Local Government Area of Anambra State in Nigeria is 6 ft. 2 inches tall and he is the last child in a family of seven children. Izuchukwu is always smiling even though he has a reserved nature but he is also down to earth, hardworking, honest and passionate about his dreams which is very evident in this pursuit for greatness.
For Izuchukwu, a million dollars cannot purchase the fun he had while in Indonesia as he described it as memorable; he had the opportunity of visiting the various tourist attractions, having a good feel of the hospitable nature of the citizens as they made them feel at home like princes and seeing a volcano for the first time at Mount Bromo was a special moment for him. It may interest you that Izuchukwu had a first shot at pageantry in 2011 when he competed for the title of Mr Ideal Nigeria where he emerged second with the title of Mr. Ideal Tourism and he admitted that having the full support of your family in what you do is very important and so for him, family is everything because that is what has kept him going.

It is very easy to conclude that most competitors in pageant shows usually have a foundation in modelling or take up such a career after the experience of the show...Izuchukwu describes his growth in modelling like a child growing into a real man, he emphasized that  for every stage in life, there is a job for you as a model and so, he has tasted the various sides of modelling; from prints, catalogs, billboards, fashion shows to commercials. He added that it is a continuous hustle in the industry as you have to keep improving on your craft and hoping for more jobs as you grow...

Izuchukwu revealed a spirited side while interacting with him as he enjoins people to take it on celebrities because they are human. He admits the God factor in every endeavor ventured into even though some people see the showbiz as a less serious line of career. He added that while in Indonesia, Nigeria was never predicted to be in the top 10 but he was glad at the end of the day being a runner up. He was more investors in the country to come out and support talented young people as they need to be encouraged.

I could not end the interaction without getting a last word which is related to his legacies and I was not surprised when he still emphasized on his drive towards good living for all, staying fit and looking great...Though Izuchukwu is back to his regular job as a banker, the world is certainly on the look out at the accomplishments ahead of him because of the dedication and hard work that is being put into actualizing the projects before him.

Radiocarbon dating history datinghotpoint com

posted by | Leave a comment

The latest curves were ratified at the 21st International Radiocarbon Conference in July of 2012.

Within the last few years, a new potential source for further refining radiocarbon curves is Lake Suigetsu in Japan.

We should see some interesting results in the very near future.

Although we don't have any 50,000-year-old trees, we do have overlapping tree ring sets back to 12,594 years.All living things exchange the gas Carbon 14 (C14) with the atmosphere around them—animals and plants exchange Carbon 14 with the atmosphere, fish and corals exchange carbon with dissolved C14 in the water.Throughout the life of an animal or plant, the amount of C14 is perfectly balanced with that of its surroundings. The C14 in a dead organism slowly decays at a known rate: its "half life".Radiocarbon dating is one of the best known archaeological dating techniques available to scientists, and the many people in the general public have at least heard of it.But there are many misconceptions about how radiocarbon works and how reliable a technique it is.

Over the years, I have collected a lot of information about working with decorative glass. I have done this through reading, working, observing, talking and teaching. At each stage of my experience I have learned things and have often been surprised that not everyone else knows about these little techniques to make things go more easily. I am also surprised at the number of people who want to keep these little ways of working to themselves.

This blog is set up to disseminate these little ways to all who want to develop their skills and find other ways of working. My way is not always the right way. It is certainly not the only way to do things. But some suggestions may make the work easier.

This will also include a variety of pieces of information about the characteristics of glass, equipment, and of course my opinions on a variety of glass related matters.

So I hope this will become a useful little pile of data for others to mine. Like miners, some people will keep some things and throw others away. That's fine with me. Disputes on my methods and opinions are also invited.

Copper Foil Adhesive

The only technical purpose the adhesive on copper foil serves is to hold the foil on the glass until it is soldered. It is not intended to, and will not hold the piece together. You shouldn't ever rely on it to hold the pieces together. The heat from the soldering breaks down the adhesive, as well as time and chemicals like glass cleaner and flux. If you think that burnishing it harder will seal it, you are mistaken.If your foil is pulling away from an edge, you need to build up the solder on the edge, add wire if necessary, or a perimeter metal of some sort.

If you have a piece of glass that is "slipping" out, you may be trying to hold up too much weight by the foil. Put a perimeter metal on and hang the piece from a solder joint that extends into the design.

Creating your own Iridescence

Often iridised surface details are created by using iridised sheet glass and then masking and sandblasting off the unwanted portions. But you can make your own iridised surface detail much more cheaply by using pearlised  mica powder.

One way to apply the mica in areas of detail is to make a stencil from stiff card and sift a smooth relatively thin layer of mica onto the area of glass you want to be iridised.

A second is to mix the mica and powdered clear glass in equal amounts and sift that onto the glass through the stencil. This can help more of the mica to stick to the surface.

A third is to sift clear powder on first and then a coat of mica. This works less well for me than the other two.

It does not matter if you put too much mica on, as the excess will not stick and can be brushed back into your container for future use. The firing should be at full fuse temperatures to allow the mica to sink into the surface of the glass. When you have poured the excess powder off you are left with an iridised surface where the mica has sunk into the glass. You can, of course, use any of the coloured micas for this purpose.

Cutting Hour Glass Shapes

Hour glass shapes, wasp waists, or those that are thinner along the length than the ends, should be avoided as much as possible.  They are difficult to break out from the score.  More importantly, they are an inherently weak shape. The longer the piece is with the narrow part along its length, the more likely it is to break; in cutting or in the long term, in the panel.  However, these shapes are sometimes unavoidable.

The principle to use in scoring and breaking out the glass is to remove less glass than that you are retaining at each stage of the process.

This has consequences:
  • ·         breaking the first score is the easiest
  • ·         only a rough outline of the final piece should be scored and broken from the sheet
  • ·         Relieving scores and breaks will be necessary.  The number will depend on the relative thickness of the thin and thick parts.

You can make the first score and break of one side of the shape from the main piece of glass – usually with little difficulty or need for relieving scores. (1)

You then should score and break off the piece to be retained from the larger sheet.  Be sure to give a margin for the final piece. (2)

Now score the other part of the hour glass shape.  Do not tap the score. Begin gently to run of the score from each end.  Don’t worry if the runs do not meet up.  Do not tap to make them meet up. (3)

If running the score from both ends is not enough to make the run complete, you will need to use relieving scores.  These scores can be like onion rings – generally concentric curves running in the same sort of shape as the curve to be broken out.

Or you can use the fish scale approach – overlapping crescents.  These are most useful for deeper inside curves.

Either way, each score needs to be planned.  Each relieving score should be smaller than the width of the piece to be retained.  In general, this means the outer relieving scores can be wider apart.  As you approach the final shape, the distance between the scores will need to be less and less. (4,5,6)

Hudson Valley Chef's Table

Extraordinary Recipes From Westchester To Columbia County

Book Description

Thousands of years before Hendrik Hudson sailed his Half Moon up to modern day Albany in 1609, the glaciers that once blanketed the Hudson Valley retreated to the Arctic. What the ice left in its wake was a soil so rich that, in global satellite images taken today, the trench of its path still shows up as a jet black streak. Lured by this soil’s fertility came the family farmers of the Hudson Valley, who, over time, learned to glean the finest products that the land could provide.

Today the Hudson Valley is an area rich in history and art, antiques and architecture, charming towns, and farms that produce bountiful local produce. America’s history comes alive here as does its beauty. Naturally, Hudson Valley restaurants boast outstanding chefs with a deep and growing commitment to supporting local agriculture. Hudson Valley farmers and artisans fill out the menus with sustainable raised produce, meats, poultry, eggs, cheese, wine and other fine foods. It’s creative cuisine at its best

With over 80 recipes for the home cook from the state’s most celebrated eateries and showcasing full-color photos featuring mouth-watering dishes, famous chefs, and lots of local flavor, Hudson Valley Chef’s Table  is a feast for the eyes as well as the palate. The delicious dishes featured here are personal histories––stories of people and place. Each recipe, chef profile, and photo tells its part of the story and magic of the Hudson Valley.

February 2011 - Vision

I was reading a blog and came across this quote (I really wish I had written down the blog address...if I find it again I'll update this!) - "We can let our obstacles or our vision determine our future."

I don't know about you, but I have this stubborn and independent streak in me that bristles at the idea of not having options.  To think that an obstacle, ie something I would rather not have in the first place, will determine my future, well, it makes my face scrunch up just thinking about it.  So I started thinking about my obstacles (easy to do) and my vision (what?) and realized I needed to delve into this a bit more.

Biblical examples always help.  Moses heard God's voice tell him his future, but doubted that future because of his relationship with the king of Egypt and the Israelites, because of his speaking ability, etc.  What God called him to do - the vision God had for his life - did not make sense or seem possible because of obstacles.  I imagine Moses saying "Uh, God?  Did you forget that the king is mad at me, my people despise me, and I fumble over my words?  I think you have me confused with someone else."  How often do we feel that way?  Feel that God is calling us to something that is just not possible given our circumstances?  Feel that He is just asking too much, too soon?

Losses have a way of sucking every ounce of vision from our lives.  Suddenly the world is turned upside down and what was formerly important, besides what was lost, is now unimportant.  The idea that there's enough right with the world, and with our lives, to have a vision that would carry us forward almost seems insulting.  And yet that's exactly what God gives us.  He knows best, even (and perhaps especially) when we think He is wrong.  Our losses were not a surprise to Him.  He knew how it would all fit into His master plan, His vision for our lives.  That's not saying He is glad babies died, or that He wanted it this way.  Remember His original plan - it did not include death.

It is important, especially in times when we cannot see clearly, to ask God for His vision for our lives.  Sometimes, though, our grief, as well as the world around us, is so loud that we cannot discern that vision.  In those times we must start with the Bible and search for direction.  It may be a generic vision at first, but it will at least get us heading on the right path so that in time we will be able to discern His specific vision for us.  Find what God is doing and join Him - His vision does not change!  Our part in that vision can change, and it will likely be different than the part those around us will have.

Write down 5-10 obstacles in your life right now.  Things that are disappointing, crushing, not how you'd like them to be, not how they should be.  For most of us, that list pretty much writes itself!

Now look at that list and try to convince yourself that God has a vision for your life EVEN WITH those obstacles on the table.  Perhaps because of those obstacles - He has crafted something just for you that will not waste one ounce of the pain that has come from those obstacles.

Now think about your vision, or God's vision for your life.  Write down 5-10 ideas, words, phrases, etc that describe what you think your vision includes.  For me this list included words like joyful, loving, content, fulfilled, serving, life-giving, and making a difference for God.  No, that doesn't tell me what specific action plan to flesh out when I wake up tomorrow - or does it?  Until I have a more specific vision, I can certainly choose to live out, with increasing success, those key words and ideas.  As I am more content and serving, I will be at least walking in the right direction.

Which will you choose to focus on this week/month/year?  Your obstacles or your vision? The one you focus on is the one that will gain power and momentum.  Will you trust God to have answers for your obstacles as He works out His vision?  Or will you be stalemated, stuck forever in the desert?

Perhaps you feel like right now you are sitting in the middle of the desert - I do that sometimes.  I just get overwhelmed and sit down, preferring to stay in this yuck rather than keep fighting to find the right path.  The problem is that nothing will be get better by sitting down.  The Israelites ended up wandering in the desert for 40 years!!  The idea of wandering in my own desert that long (or even 40 days) is not happy.  But God was with them the entire time.  He had their exact path mapped out, and He didn't waste that time.  If they had chosen to just sit down, their journey would only have been prolonged.  Only by walking, one step at a time, one day at a time, can you get any closer to getting out of the desert.  Your circumstances, your obstacles, they may feel like the desert, but you can at least make yourself get up and start moving.  Better to wander forty years than sit until you die in a place you never wanted to be.

Here's that quote again: "We can let obstacles or vision determine our direction."  Which will you choose?

Garlicky Kale “Pesto”

Traditionally pesto is made with fresh basil, but the other night I didn’t have any on hand so I decided to substitute with some fresh curly kale leaves.  We were pleasantly surprised with the creamy texture and spicy kick from the garlic.  Perfect to spread on a sandwich, toss in some noodles, or used as a flavorful dipping sauce for grilled chicken and veggies. I have also been using it in my scrambled eggs in the morning.  Yum.

Garlicky Kale “Pesto”

  • 2 cups chopped kale
  • 6 cloves garlic, smashed
  • 2 oz pine nuts
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese
  • drizzle of honey (opt)
  1. Pulse together kale, garlic, and pine nuts in blender or food processor.
  2. Stream in water and olive oil until creamy.
  3. Add salt, lemon juice and parmesan cheese until combined.
  4. Add touch of honey if desired.
  5. Keeps in fridge up to one week.

Goatsbridge Trout Farm 2017 Awards

Dare to Dream

Goatsbridge Trout Farm 2017 Food Awards

I simply don’t want to pinch myself in case I wake up from this happy dream.

Goatsbridge is on a roll. It seems to be one food award after another and so much positive recognition over the last few years. How, I ask myself, have we been so lucky as we drive on to build a sustainable business?

It began early in the year with our big win in China for our fishwives book where we won two prestigious awards. Since then we have received recognition from The Food Guild Writers of Ireland and were also inducted into the Hall of Fame at The Food and Wine Awards a few weeks ago in Dublin. Last weekend we won an Innovation Award sponsored by BIM at the Blas Awards.

I was walking down the high Street in Kilkenny city Friday with my youngest daughter Orlaith. She is a very confident, self-assured and savvy lady. I met many people as we made our way back to the car and every one of them mentioned our latest food award wins; I guess people are beginning to know our Company. When a lady call me by my name I did what I always do and pretended to know who she was, though I was wracking my brain as we chatted. Was she a mother of one of my kids friends, a County Councillor, or simply a foodies and Goatsbridge fan?

As we finally got to the car Orlaith turned to me and asked if I knew that person we had just met. I smiled, knowing she had guessed my predicament. She looked me straight in the eye and brought me back down to earth. She said with a loud chuckle “you think you’re great! Don’t you?”

Nothing like a family member to keep your feet on the ground and the ball moving in the right direction.

Onwards and upwards.

One Single Impression - Oubliette

Strips of paper with memories written in bold strokes of indelible ink fill a glass jar wrapped in soft pinks and greens and tied with a big, purple bow. As she took one end of the ribbon and pulled, the fun, forgotten moments of the past revealed themselves in bright squeals of laughter and warm, happy tears on soft wrinkled cheeks. Happiness sat upon the minutes of the now while dangling toes dipped into the pools of a fondly remembered past.

 An oubliette is a dungeon; the word comes from the French for "forgotten place." This made me think of the good memories consciously brought back to the surface after rooting past the bad memories I like to hold on to with a death-like grip.

  1. I am just the opposite. I let the bad memories fade away and nurture the good. I know that sounds like a positive thing, but I think it kept me with my ex- long after I should have left.

  2. I love that word, always have, it has a certain melancholic ring to it.
    I collect memories the same way...
    Have a lovely Saturday,

  3. ha. very and creative...even the bad memories can be nostalgic at times...the badness of them seems to we get older..

  4. I have my share of bad memories, but it is the good ones I swim in on a regular basis.

  5. I guess we all have our share of bad memories, but I for one like to focus on the good ones - of which there have been many and they far outweigh the bad ones. Lovely post for the day, Nessa! Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

  6. Beautiful post,Nessa.
    Cool and creative :)

  7. Wonderful creation and words! Have a great week ahead, Nessa.

  8. With my luck the words would pull up no memories at all. It's a great idea, though.

I love hearing from you ... Leave a link, if you like, so people can find you easily.

Here and Now: Preparing for the season

You might think, having lived in the remote mountains a third of my life, I would be a skier. However, I do not view skies and snowshoes with the joy of a sporting enthusiast. Any trip that required that sort of exertion in the depth of winter meant something had gone horribly wrong. No, winter sports, for me, began the first winter of my apprenticeship at the schloss.

I first learned to ice-skate there, with borrowed wooden skates strapped to my old winter boots in the month before my first Yule away from home. The apprentices are given an hour break in the mid-morning and mid-afternoon, a chance for the younger of us to have some exercise, while the instructors and masters had their kaffeeklatsch. It kept us fit, and gave us time to pursue outside interests. I am just now learning how important those interests were to promotional reviews.

However, in ice-skating, it was my first chance to view winter as a season to enjoy, not just endure. The very young knew to anticipate Yule, wait patiently for the arrival of Grandfather Krechun and stay out of the reach of the Krampus. The long stretch of cold from the New Year to Snowmelt was characterized by digging out from the periodic blizzards, repairing or making new tools, knitting, or taking into hand some artistic carving to decorate the housen.

Down in the town around the schloss, the winters were not so hard, but the great lake would freeze hard enough for the Jaegerkin to play a grand rough-and-tumble game involving many sticks and much swearing. They used the rougher ice near the river's inlet, and the ice-dancers had the smoother spot near the weir. Both had their fascinations, but I became entranced by my classmates demonstrating the grace of the fey on the ice.

Now I find it is a common thing here to leave skates and such available for visitors, and began to see the varied ways people take to the ice. My very dear friend accompanied me to several places when we found ourselves free of immediate duties at the same time. I think the only thing that could make it better would be to find a way to ice-waltz, here.

It is my hope to have such a gift box available for visitors when the consulate office in Victoriana has the official opening this Saturday. It is the first time I have been involved in a large event. We have a few finishing touches to add tomorrow, and the seasonal items as well. I hope I do well by my patron.

Turnitin.com Tutorials

I have compiled YouTube videos that demonstrate how to use the different parts of Turnitin.com. As a school, we have already looked at the discussion board element and some teachers use Turnitin.com to check kids for plagiarism, but there is more there teachers could use. By using all of Turnitin.com's features, you could avoid taking papers home ever again. Another bonus with using Turnitin.com for grading is that students can see their work as it is checked instead of having to wait for all of the papers to be checked and returned. The feedback is quicker for the students and that is very helpful to the students looking to improve their writing.

Watch the videos on how to grade papers on Turnitin and even leave voice notes for students. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me and we can work on them during 4th hour.

To watch the other videos in the play list, you need to click this playlist icon seen below. Hold your mouse over the screen for the menu to appear at the bottom.
