Loop in Loop Chain Making Class, Post #10

The Final Critique

The grade is usually based not on an exam, but on a critique. Here your work is tuned in or displayed to the instructor and the class. Sometimes, several or all instructors at a school are involved in the final grade determination.

Some classes have more than one critique and you gain some experience in the process. This short summer class had only one final critique. For our loop in loop class, all the jewelry worked on during the class, including samples, is placed on the black table cloth. Each grouping is by one student. The instructor and all the students gather around for the critique. The instructor passes one student’s work around in a tray while the student makes comments. The instructor then makes comments. This photo was taken during a break, while one student is talking to the instructor.

Computer and Internet Provider Interruptions Post #9

Wow, this blog keeps getting interrupted. I made the writing (and thinking about the topic of writing) a priority second only to the classwork).

However, Verizon, my internet provider, could not provide service for one month and two service calls to my house. The final resolution was to downgrade my speed to a more manageable rate (for them). It wasn’t a speed issue for me. I either had service or I didn’t.

My laptop had been out of synch with the Microsoft mothership for at least a month due to the lack of the internet. So, when I get connected HP, Norton, and Microsoft wanted to update and I happily agreed. I was beside myself tickled pink to be connected. I should have given some thought to all my clicks because one allowed Microsoft to upgrade IE7 to IE8. I later discovered that the cause of the strange lack of editing on Blogger was due in fact to IE8. To make a long story short, I had to re-type in the last post.

About two weeks after the internet provider issue was resolved, I had a problem with the slot in the laptop that I use to read the digital photos from my camera. It totally stopped working. My computer was being “fixed” for a week.

There has been one recent computer success. I just managed to download a conversion file that actually worked as promised. It took a video avi file and split the frames into jpeg or jpg files or digital photos. Very cool because it is the photo I need for the next post.
