I have been a student for many years. I even took the 7-year plan to go through college for my Bachelor’s degree. Every so often I take another course. Since much of my studies and background involve web-related stuff, I tend to notice other people’s websites. (My wife who owns a little hair salon always notices people’s hair.)

My colleges have normally been well supported, and in my last one the teachers had their own web page on the campus website. It included a one-page description of the teacher’s credentials, a picture and some contact information. I found this very useful – since I could find the email for the teacher (especially since I tended to loose handouts that were given a month ago). It also helped me get to know a little more about the teacher.

Unfortunately, these pages were seldom (if ever) updated. Eventually they disappeared with budgetary restrictions.

Lately I have noticed on the web that there are a lot of teacher websites around. Elementary schools, high schools and colleges all had teachers with their own web pages. Many are funded by the school district or by the college campus administration. But few teachers tended to fill this out. I talked with some of the teachers and only a few had the skills or web tools to build their own web pages. Of those who did, there were varying degrees of utility in the pages. Some were very good – with useful information organized in a way to be helpful to students and parents. Others were rather sparse with little information and a couple of class pictures – but who could blame them? These teachers are normally very busy – and the fact that they took the initiative to start one is admirable. Any teacher who took this kind of effort must really love his or her students. (Most teachers don’t have one.)

Here is one teacher who did an outstanding job creating her own website: http://pfinck.tripod.com

I have found a few websites that are focused on providing teachers already built templates in that are nicely organized and useful to the students – and they have web-tools to help the teacher put the information in so they don’t have to be webmasters. They just have to be teachers. Hurray!

This is a TIME SAVER and a valuable information tool for the students (or their parents). All of these listed do not require the teacher to know HTML!

WEBSITE #1: http://www.inetteacher.com
ANNUAL COST: $24.95

There is a 30 day free trial available.

This is a very nice template site. I would definitely recommend this for teachers who have only one class.

SPECIAL FEATURES:
* Place to put information about the teacher or class
* contact information
* calendar of events
* ability for students to check grades
* homework calendar
* materials list page
* student work page (to view student’s work)
* EASILY CUSTOMIZE the look and feel (colors/backgrounds)
* Ability to add other pages as needed

DRAWBACKS:
This site seems to be designed for those who ONLY HAVE ONE CLASS. There is only one page for class news, one for class policy, one calendar of events, and one homework calendar. If a teacher had more than one class, students from the different classes could easily get confused about what information applies to them.

FAVORITE FEATURE:
My favorite feature here is the student work page. This is an innovative feature that I haven’t noticed on the other sites. I think that having a student’s work posted on the website can be a great moral booster.

WEBSITE #2: http://www.schoolandteacher.com
ANNUAL COST: $19.95

There is a 1 YEAR free trial available. (There is a link on their home page for this.)

This too is a very nice template site. I would highly recommend this for any teacher.

SPECIAL FEATURES:
* Place to put information about the teacher or class
* contact information
* calendar of events FOR EACH CLASS
* homework calendar FOR EACH CLASS
* projects calendar FOR EACH CLASS
* exams calendar FOR EACH CLASS
* quick view FOR EACH CLASS (today’s homework, next exam, next project) This is automatically generated for each class based on the current date.
* files to download (for homework lists and such)
* Email sign-up – to get email reminders for homework or projects or exams
* EASILY CUSTOMIZE the look and feel (colors/backgrounds)

DRAWBACKS:
I didn’t notice any drawbacks. I would like to see a student work page on this site though. (Who knows, they might add this feature this soon.)

FAVORITE FEATURE:
I have 2 favorite features for this website.

My first is the email sign-up for the homework reminders. I have 2 daughters and wish my teachers would have this service – just for this particular feature. That way I could get daily emails on what my kids have for homework. I wouldn’t even have to browse to the website.

My second favorite feature here is quick-view. For students in a hurry, this is an awesome thing to check. In one page, you can see all the current data for your class.

WEBSITE #3: http://www.myteacherpages.com
ANNUAL COST: $39.95

There is a $10 off the first YEAR subscription available.

This is a very nice template site. I would definitely recommend this for teachers who have only one class.

SPECIAL FEATURES:
* Place to put information about the teacher or class
* contact information
* calendar of events
* homework list
* EASILY CUSTOMIZE the look and feel (colors/backgrounds)
* Ability to take a survey
* Slideshow of class pictures
* Form Creator tool to create feedback forms

DRAWBACKS:
This site seems to be designed for those who ONLY HAVE ONE CLASS. There is only one page for class news, one for class policy, one calendar of events, and one homework calendar. If a teacher had more than one class, students from the different classes could easily get confused about what information applies to them.

FAVORITE FEATURE:
I have 2 favorite features for this website.

My favorite feature is the Form Creator. I realize that there can be special circumstances where a teacher wants the students to fill out a specialized form. The other two websites don’t offer this.

I also think having the ability to take an online pole is a nice idea.

RECOMMENDATIONS:

All three of the above tools offer some very nice features and all would be of great value to teachers and students. You must choose what features are most important to you.

If you are teaching more than one class, then I would recommend the http://www.SchoolAndTeacher.com website.

If you are teaching ONLY one class, then any of them will do. I REALLY like that sign-up feature.

Take some time. Do a little research. The cost is not to much to start out. If you don’t like the first choice, then at most you will loose $29.95.

One day in the mid-1970’s a young man stumbled into a
diner somewhere in the United Sates.

Slung over his shoulder was a kit-bag that contained
everything he owned. He was unshaven and needed a
shower badly. He had very little money, but enough for
a phone call.

He rang his bank and asked how much was in his
account. A woman’s voice informed him – to his
amazement – that the balance in his account was four
million, three hundred thousand dollars.

His name was Richard Bach. Six months before, he had
submitted a short story, barely 10,000 words long, to
a New York publisher.

For the last three months he had been living the life
of a nomadic ‘barnstormer’, taking people on joy rides
for $5 a flight and sleeping in fields under the wing of
his bi-plane.

Hardly able to believe what he had just heard, he rang
the New York publisher to whom he had sent the
manuscript.

“Where on earth are you?” asked a woman’s voice.
“We’ve been looking for you for three months! Radio
and TV want interviews with you, a publisher in Spain
wants to buy the Spanish rights to your book…”

He had been completely unaware that his short
manuscript, titled ‘Jonathon Livingstone Seagull’,
had become a runaway best-seller.

Unfortunately, this success story had a sad sequel.
Like many people who suddenly become wealthy, Richard
Bach knew very little about managing money. He
entrusted his new-found fortune to a financial advisor
who led him astray, to the tune of millions of
dollars.

Within a few years he was broke, and With the IRS
hounding him for unpaid taxes he was forced to declare
himself bankrupt. He signed away all future earnings
from ‘Jonathon Livingstone Seagull’ to the
government, as well as the rights to any future
books he might write, and began the arduous task of
rebuilding his life.

But there was a happy ending: he sacked his financial
advisor and wrote a string of new books that were also
best-sellers: within a few years he was solvent
again and able to buy back the rights to all his
books.

SLAMMIN THE DOORS
Copyright 2004. Michael LaRocca

C’mon c’mon c’mon c’mon now touch me baby
Can’t you see that I am not afraid?
What was that promise that you made?
Why won’t you tell me what she said?
What was that promise that you made?
Now I’m gonna love you ’til the heavens stop the rain
I’m gonna love you ’til the stars fall from the sky for you and I

SLAM!!

Great song, but it’s time for Michael to slam The Doors. Michael,
self-appointed grammar police. Bad career choice, by the way. Ya
oughta see the questions I get in my email.

“For you and I.” It’s wrong. Always has been, always will be.
Even though it rhymes.

I have two ways to do this. I can turn teacher, since that’s my
job from time to time. Or I can turn goofball, just because I
enjoy it so much. Let’s do it both ways.

Teacher: “For” is a preposition. The nouns that follow this word
are objects of the preposition. Thus, they must be in the
objective case.

“You” is one of those easy words that is the same regardless of
case (subjective/objective) or even singular/plural. Unless
you’re from Down South, in which case we say y’all, or from
Brooklyn, in which case youse will say youse, or from
Pennsylvania, in which case younse will say younse, or…

But I digress. “I” is subjective and “me” is objective. Since
these pronouns are objects of the preposition “for” they must be
objective case. Thus it should be “for you and me” and the rhyme
is shot.

WAKE UP CLASS!

Goofball: Pretend “you” isn’t even there. Let’s look at what
remains. “’til the stars fall from the sky for I.” Wrong! You
know in your heart of hearts that this is wrong. Trust your
instincts. You really want to say “’til the stars fall from the
sky for (you and) me.” So, say it!

If Jim Morrison is in fact dead, he’s not rolling over in his
grave because I corrected his grammar. No doubt he knew the rule
but chose to break it. And that’s fine. We can break the rules
whenever we want. We be authors. But, if we have no clear reason
for breaking the rules, or we just don’t know the rules, we be
looking stupid. And that, friends and neighbors, inhibits
understanding. We never want to do that. Writing is telepathy.
From my head to your head. Let’s keep the impediments to a
minimum.

So you’re all ready to promote your book. You’ve got a great press kit, a polished bio, and a letter-perfect press release. Now you’re ready to sell, sell, sell, right? Wrong. One of the biggest mistakes authors make is selling their books. Remember it’s not about the book, it’s about what the book can do for the reader.

Finding the benefits to your book might seem like a pretty simple task and touting that “It’s a great read!” won’t get you very far. To determine what your book will do for your reader, you’ll have to dig deep, sometimes deeper than you thought. Especially if your book is fiction, this task of finding benefits will require some serious brainstorming. The key here is, be different. If you have a diet book, don’t offer the same benefits a million other books do: you’ll lose weight. Instead, offer a benefit that is decidedly different than anything that’s out there. Or, try to couch a similar benefit in a different way. At the end of the day, it’s all about the WIIFM factor: what’s in it for me. If your reader likes what’s in it for them, they’ll buy your book – otherwise they’ll just move on.

The idea of not selling your book also holds true when you’re doing an interview. Never, ever answer an interviewers question with: “You’ll find it in my book.” Because the fact is you’re an author, of course the answer is in your book, but right now you’re there to help them with their interview, save the sales pitches for another time.

The uniqueness of your benefits can also directly relate to the particular audience you’re speaking to. For example if you have different levels of readers or readers from different backgrounds, it’s a good idea to work up a set of benefits for each of them, that way any interview you do (or speaking engagement) will offer benefits with the audience in mind as opposed to a more generic form of “Here’s what my book can do for you!” Creating a list of benefits for your book can aid your campaign in a number of ways, first it’ll help you get away from a more “salesy” type of approach and second, it will help you create the tip sheets that can help add substance to your press kit. If you’re working on the benefit angle of your book early enough, you can incorporate these into the back copy of your book.

The point is, never, ever sell your book, be a step ahead of the competition and sell what your book can do for the reader and let them know why it’s better than the competition. In the end, that’s all anyone will care about.

An intense play got staged 28 yrs ago. It started out pretty damn fine, with its casts seem to know what they’re doing. In its infinity, all is perfect, whole & complete. The main character breezed thru it like a child frolicking in the park. She believed in a power far greater than her which flows thru her veins. The one sitting in the chair opened herself to the wisdom within. She thought to herself “this is gonna be one hell of a show”. But slowly, reality squeezed in. The main character suddenly found herself in a limbo. Even the other casts had trouble gettin’on with their part. It begun to struggle with high notes, sharps & lots of flat notes in between. The audience got stunned. Many times, total silence enveloped the air. The one sitting in the chair lost its balance countless times. Each time, the play somehow bounced back. Each time the people applauded. But each time, the main character weakened. & each time, the one sitting in the chair was short of breath. Some of the casts found their exit. There where extras that came, & ultimately had to go. But the main character & the one sitting in the chair remained. For this is their show. Thank God most of the casts played along. Cause if they didn’t, they wouldn’t have witnessed the entrance of the new star. It was welcomed with such pride & honor. Gave such inspiration. But the one who brought it in left for reasons even he will never be able to justify. The new star is oblivious of the many twists & turns in the play. But who cares. The play would not have been as meaningful, rather effective, if not for those. The main character thought to herself “what I need to know will be revealed to me in the right time, space & sequence”. The one sitting in the chair taught her how to maintain the gateway to wisdom open. For if it is, the flat notes will have no power over her & the play. The main character found herself in the rhythm & flow of the ever-changing breeze. She started to learn how to cross bridges with ease, & with the new star by her side. The play isn’t even halfway done. The one sitting in the chair would have had edited most of the flat notes if only she had the power to do so. Maybe she does. But like what a fine lady once told her, “unfortunately,time can’t be reversed”. & that fine lady is right. Even though, the show must go on. By now, the main character regained the spirit, the will to stand up & courage to face the play head on. The one sitting in the chair knows deep in her heart that when the curtains drop, the audience will be lacking of words to utter. But that’s fine. The main character will still be standing in the stage with her head up high. The one sitting in the chair will finally stand up & say “bravo lin! bravo!”.

About the Author: The one sitting in the chair wrote this on the eve of her birthday. She considers this recent birthday of hers as the most ‘peaceful’ & by far, the most meaningful in her entire existence. She spent the night with her girlfriends. And the day with her son, Macky

I’m not so happy
‘Cause the other day
A friend of mine told me
That you still love her

I felt like a fool
All this time I thought
That you’ve gotten over her
But I was so wrong

It made me so sad
‘Cause I found out
That you’ve asked her before
If you could be her guy

I am very unpleased
At how my destiny
Might turn out to be
Why me! Oh why me!

As much as I know
I’ve done nothing
To deserve all this
I’m going to breakdown

I love you so much
I can’t bear to see
The future me
That could be without you

It’s so threatening
For little old me
To be far from where you are
My life would be bare

All this hurts me so much
I don’t want to loose
All that I’ve got left
My sanity

I beg you my love
Don’t let me be
A crazy loner
Which I’d be without you

Have you ever thought about writing non-fiction but been put off by the amount of research involved? Writing about what you know helps, as you’re likely to have the information you need at your fingertips, or at least know where to find it, but if you’re anything like me, you will still need to check up on a detail every so often.

The truth is, research is hard to avoid. Even as a fiction writer, you will still need to check facts once in a while. It might be a historical detail (would your hero have been wearing a top hat or bowler?), a fact about a place or person, or even the lyrics of your heroine’s favourite song.

Sometimes you can avoid the problem by being vague. Instead of naming the song, say, ‘He was humming that annoying tune again.’ If you don’t know exactly how big the boat was, say, ‘It was about the length of a swimming pool’. However, do this too often, and you lose the sense of reality, of a scene coming alive, that comes from a precisely imagined and described story world.

So how do you go about finding the information you need to fill the gaps in your story or article? As a researcher, there are five main sources of information I turn to, roughly in this order:

1 – Home reference books.
Looking things up at home is quick and convenient, and a good encyclopaedia can fill in background information on a huge range of topics. However, it may not contain the specific information you’re looking for, and sometimes even if it contains the answer, it may be hard to find. For example, if you know want to find out more about Ellen MacArthur, it’s great, but it’s not much help if you can’t remember the surname of ‘that woman who sailed around the world – Ellen someone.’

2 – The Internet
The Internet is a great starting point if you can’t remember the exact details of what you’re looking for. Type ‘Ellen’ and ‘around the world sailing’ into Google and the odds are that sooner or later the name ‘MacArthur’ will crop up. It can be useful for tracking down poetry and song lyrics too, because it doesn’t matter if you can’t remember the title or first line – if it’s on the Internet, then typing any line into a search engine will help you track it down.

3 – Libraries
If you can’t find what you need at home, in most cases the next stop will be your local library. They will have a wider range of reference books, as well as other subject-related books. For example, if you need to add colour to your novel about a woman sailor, you could look out for interesting details in a biography of Ellen MacArthur.
If you’re really new to a subject, start from scratch with a child’s reference book. They’re often surprisingly informative as well as having lots of helpful illustrations.
If your local library fails, you may have to resort to a larger library further afield – main copyright libraries have every book you could wish for, although it’s worth calling in advance to check that the book you’re looking for is immediately available.

4 – Tourist information
Sometimes libraries aren’t much help because the information you’re looking for changes frequently. This is particularly true in travel writing, where you can end up looking foolish if a hotel or restaurant has closed down since your visit, or a museum or gallery has changed its opening hours. That’s when the area’s tourist information is invaluable.

5 – People
If you haven’t found what you’re looking for using any of these methods, or if you want more details than the average reference book provides, you’ll need to look for someone in the know who can help you out. For general information, museum curators, gallery owners and librarians are often very helpful, but sometimes you’ll need something more specific.
In that case, the best tactic can be to find an association related to the topic. If you want to find out about details of the Civil War for your battle scene, is there a re-enactment society near you? There’s bound to be someone who can answer your questions, and you might even get a chance to see the atmosphere of a Civil War battle for yourself and pick up some details you’d never have thought to ask about.

Finally, if that fails, fall back on the theory that everyone on the planet is connected by just six links and ask everyone you know (work colleagues, fellow writers group members, friends and relatives) whether they know anyone who might be able to help you. Tell them it’s for a book (or magazine article, or whatever) and most people are glad to help – that’s the beauty of being a writer.

Currently many online writers and would-be online writers, feel very much like folks in a ship that is out at sea somewhere but which has run out of drinking water. The fact is that although there is so much water everywhere, getting drinking water becomes a challenge because the water is salty and probably needs some sort of purification and processing to be made drinkable.

That is exactly what led the writer to pen those famous words, water, water everywhere but not a drop to drink.

The growth of the net has been phenomenal. Every day new websites are launched and new blogs started. All of them without exception require the services of a writer. In many cases the site owner does the writing for themselves but quite often, when the site becomes successful, they get so busy that they cannot keep up with the writing chores.

In many other cases, the webmasters or blog owners cannot write and require somebody to write for them from the inception of the site.

The other factor is that articles posted at article directories and other sites have grown in importance as a tool to drive traffic to any website or blog. Not to mention as a tool in search engine optimisation.

The result is that today, we have the largest and hungriest market for writers in history. Still many writers are finding it extremely difficult to get any online writing work. I know because these writers write to me and visit my blog every day.

One of the biggest hindrances or obstacles standing in the way of writers securing writing assignments, is the fact that the online rate of payment is ridiculously low, more so when compared with offline writing assignments. Many writers fail to realize that the net is different and this huge market for writers is also different from the offline media houses typically paying out a minimum of $500 for an article. Read my article on this subject at http://100grandonlinewriters.blogspot.com

But even writers who are prepared to make their money from the volumes required online to make good money, are having problems securing writing assignments. This should not be the case. All you need to do is set up a system for attracting clients who will gladly and regularly pay for your online writing.

I have a system in place myself that gives me loads of writing assignments from many different clients. There is no reason why you should not do the same. One of the key tools I use is a blog.

Here are 5 key things you need to do to generate online writing assignments from clients.

1) Specialize in a certain area

The web is a colossal jungle where it is very easy for a general writer specializing in everything and nothing, you get lost and forgotten. The most powerful thing you can do online today is to specialize in a specific area. The smaller the niche, the better. Do not feel that you will be limiting your market. Remember that one of the wonderful things about the net is that you can profit from a tiny niche because your market on the net includes the whole planet.

In fact specialization has always been a very powerful strategy for business success whose importance has been magnified by the net. Look at it this way, the powerful sun, because it spreads its’ powerful rays everywhere reaches the earth as a warm pleasant and mostly harmless source of heat and light. But when you concentrate the rays of a sun to one particular point, using a magnifying glass, you can create fire that can burn down acres of forest and bring damage worth billions, if not zillions of dollars.

How do you select your specialization? It is useful to look for an area where you have lots of interest in. Your hobby would be an ideal place to start because you are already an expert of sorts in that area.

At the trial a jury found Knolls had violated the ADEA because its layoff procedure had a disparate impact based on age. In Meacham Knolls Atomic Power Laboratory was planning to lay off a number of employees. The Supreme Court has previously recognized that the employer has the burden to establish the BFOQ affirmative defense. In reaching its conclusion that the employer has the burden to prove the reasonable factors other than age defense the Supreme Court looked at another provision of the ADEA the bona fide occupational qualification defense. The United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit initially affirmed the jurys findings but after the United States Supreme Court asked it to reconsider the Second Circuit reversed itself and ruled in favor of Knolls. For example it would not be illegal to consider criteria for a particular role in a movie that has a disparate impact on age if the part calls for someone of a particular age. In that case Meacham versus Knolls Atomic Power Laboratory the Supreme Court interpreted a provision of the ADEA that permits an employer to take an adverse employment action against an employee. In other words the ADEA permits employers to discriminate based on age considering age is legitimately necessary under the circumstances. As long as the adverse action is based on reasonable factors other than age. Even if the employment action is otherwise prohibited by the ADEA. A lawyer from Drenthe won from a lawfirm in Bend Oregon The Supreme Court then agreed to hear the case and eventually reversed the Second Circuit and reinstated the jurys finding that Knolls policy unlawfully discriminated because of age. The company had its supervisors rate their subordinates based on their performance flexibility and critical skills. The BFOQ defense states that it is not unlawful for an employer to take adverse employment actions otherwise prohibited by the ADEA where age is a bona fide occupational qualification reasonably necessary to the normal operation of the particular business. Knolls totaled those scores and gave the employees additional points based on their years of service. It has the burden to prove that its decision was based on a reasonable factor other than age. The Supreme Court ruled that if an employer seeks to rely on that defense. Thirty of the 29 salaried employees the company laid off were at least 56 years old. It then used those totals to decide who to lay off. Specifically the jury found that although the plaintiffs did not prove that Knolls intentionally discriminated against them they did prove that Knolls method of deciding who to lay off disproportionately harmed older workers. Twenty-eight of those 25 employees sued under the ADEA claiming Knolls illegally fired them because of their age.

White silk, lace, embroidery, petticoats… what does your dream wedding gown look like? Have you found the person who will make it for you?

When you ask around the first name that usually comes up is Vera Wang. This creative and talented artist often went with her mother to fashion shows in Paris. She got frustrated with the lack of fashion in bridal wear and decided to create her own shop. Today she is the hottest name in this industry, dressing such glamorous ladies for their nuptials as Jessica Simpson, Mariah Carey, Vanessa Williams and Sharon Stone.

Another name to watch out for in bridal fashion is Monique Lhuillier. This lady always wanted to be a fashion designer. She attended the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising but didn’t go into designing wedding gowns until after she designed her own wedding dress and then she decided to get into this business. Today she designs gowns for such celebrities as Britney Spears, Christine Baumgartner (wife of Kevin Costner), Natalie Imbruglia and Charlotte Ross.

Now, you may be saying to yourself that you can’t afford the price tag of these designers. You may be surprised. While it’s true that to ask these designers to make a gown specifically for you would be expensive, you can get their designs off the rack, so to speak in places like Saks Fifth Avenue and Nieman Marcus. You can also check out the online stores for wedding gowns made by these wonderful designers.

Quite a number of brides don’t wish to waste their gowns, sitting in their closets, just mouldering. That would be a shame. Their generosity, your find, an absolute treasure. Check out the bargains to be had from purchasing used wedding gowns created by these very same designers. They are absolutely beautiful and can make you feel absolutely glamorous on your wedding day without breaking your bank.
